Text-to-video FAQ
1. How long does text-to-video generation take?#
The verified information does not establish a completion-time guarantee. Check the displayed queue or job status before sending the same request again.
2. Should I ask for a whole video in one prompt?#
No: write one prompt per shot, because a model is more likely to handle one subject, action, setting, and camera move than a 30-second story with multiple scenes and edits.
3. What is a good text-to-video prompt formula?#
Use “shot type + subject + visible action + setting + lighting + camera movement + pace + constraints,” and replace abstract praise with physical directions the viewer could actually see.
4. How can I keep the same face across several clips?#
Repeat the same short character description, keep wardrobe and lighting stable, and use reference-image or character-consistency features when available, since text alone cannot guarantee the same identity in every shot.
5. Why is generated text on signs or packaging unreadable?#
Letter shapes often shift between frames, so generate a clean blank area and add exact names, prices, subtitles, and logos afterward in a normal video editor.
6. What resolution will a free tool export?#
There is no universal free resolution: some services use draft quality or restrict higher-resolution exports, so verify the current plan before production and judge the full-size file for flicker and deformation.
7. Are free text-to-video exports watermarked?#
They may be; some providers watermark free output, while others reserve an explicit no-watermark benefit for paid plans, so inspect both the current pricing page and a downloaded sample before publishing.
8. Can I use a free generated clip commercially?#
Not automatically: the provider’s license, subscription tier, prompt or reference assets, music, logos, and recognizable likenesses can all affect commercial rights, and some free plans permit only personal use.
9. Are my prompts and reference uploads private?#
Do not assume they are; avoid confidential product details and sensitive media unless you have reviewed the provider’s retention, deletion, sharing, and model-training terms.
10. How do I troubleshoot a failed free generation?#
Free access commonly means limited credits, a trial, lower quality, or slower queues; for failures, shorten and simplify the prompt, request one camera move, lower duration or resolution, address any displayed policy rejection, check service status, and retry later rather than repeatedly consuming credits.
