# Video generation

> Create dynamic videos from text or images.

Create dynamic short videos by entering text prompts or uploading a single image. Carat AI understands your requests and brings them to life as videos.

## How to use

#### Generate from text

Enter what you want to create in the Chat.

```text theme={null}
    Video of waves crashing on a beach
```

```text theme={null}
    Drone view of a city skyline at night
```

#### Generate from image

Upload an image, then request motion.

```text theme={null}
    Make the person in this image move naturally
```

<Info>
  **Videos with audio**

  Some advanced models like Veo 3 automatically generate matching audio (sound effects, background sounds) along with the video without any additional setup. While very convenient, this method uses more [Usage](/en/pricing/usage).

<Tip>
  **Cost-saving tip**

  1. First generate a regular video without audio,
  2. Create audio separately using [Audio features](/en/features/audio/text-to-speech) (background music, TTS, etc.),
  3. Then combine them using [Add audio to video](/en/features/video/add-audio-to-video).
</Tip>

<Warning>
  Maximum video length and style may vary depending on the model. See the [Model selection](/en/how-to-use/model-selection) documentation for details on available models.
