From prompt to video with AI

Ditch the script, and create videos from prompts. With AI video generators, all you need is a good idea. Type your concept into the generator, and you’ll get new footage in minutes.

Make complete videos, all from text

Prompt to start

You can prompt just about every piece of your video, from plot to scenery to the actors themselves. Just use text to describe your idea and the aesthetic you’re going for. You’ll get a custom video, tailored to your prompt. 

Iterate quickly

You don’t have to get it right on the first try. Videos generate quickly so it’s easy to explore different directions and adjust as you go. If you want to adjust specific details, it’s easy to do that with scene “reshoots” or text-based editing tools. 

Nail the details

As you get used to making videos with AI, you’ll get savvier with your prompts. Try different approaches to get just the right vibe, then reuse your favorite prompts for continuity. For example, if you find an aesthetic you like, you can use that same prompt again later on.

Create and edit in Captions

In the Captions app, you can generate and edit an entire video completely with text. First, use prompts to generate your script. Then, use the chat-based editor to get the edit just right.

Set the perfect scene

Start with a description rather than a camera. In Captions, you can prompt avatar appearance, settings and product placement. Adjust as wanted for additional videos.

Frequently asked questions

How does text-to-video work?

Text-to-video or prompt-to-video generators use text instructions to guide an AI model. You type your idea or topic, and the generator creates totally new footage about it. Whatever you include in your prompt will help the AI generator create the right kind of video. Details like scenery, lighting or camera angles all come together to create visuals and audio.

What makes an effective generative AI prompt?

All great prompts start with a clear idea. Most AI video generators can create footage from pretty vague prompts. For the best results, we suggest including specifics about how you want the footage to look and feel. For example, you could describe the type of AI actor you want in the scene, the type of lighting you want behind them, or even the type of voice you want them to have. These kinds of details guide the AI model to better results.

Can you change your video prompt later?

Yes, you can tweak your prompts and try again. For example, you might write “make it brighter” to adjust lighting, or “zoom in” for a closer shot.

Are generated videos cleared for commercial use?

Whether you can use AI-generated videos for commercial use depends on the tools you use. All subscriptions include full rights to everything you create on the platform. That means all videos, plus any AI actors, are free for you to use commercially. You also keep total control over your own voice and likeness—Mirage won’t use them without your permission. Just keep in mind that AI-generated content could still run into copyright issues if it closely mimics someone else’s work.
