CapCut AI Video Generator: Text & Image to Video

Use text-to-video when you want the AI to create the whole scene from a written idea. Use image-to-video when you already have a product photo, portrait, illustration, or composition that should guide the finished clip.

Describe the subject, one clear action, the setting, camera movement, lighting, and mood. Short prompts can work, but specific motion such as “slow push-in” or “turns toward the camera” gives the model clearer direction.

The uploaded image guides the subject, composition, and style, but AI generation can still change small details. Use a clear source image, request simple motion, and review faces, text, logos, and product details before publishing.

Choose based on the settings and result you need. Fast models are useful for testing ideas, while higher-quality options may support more detail or resolution. The generator shows the available duration, resolution, and credit cost for each choice.

Timing varies with the selected model, resolution, clip duration, and current demand. CupCut shows progress while the job runs, and the completed result remains available in your history.

Available lengths depend on the model and generally range from a few seconds up to 15 seconds. Use 9:16 for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts, 16:9 for YouTube and websites, or 1:1 for square placements.

Resolution depends on the selected model. Current options include 480p, 720p, and 1080p, with 4K available on supported models. Check the model settings before generating.

Supported Seedance models can use a reference audio file. Available formats and multimodal behavior vary by model, so check the audio guidance shown in the generator before uploading.

Every generation uses credits, and the required amount depends on the model and settings. The cost is shown before you generate. Free credits let you test the workflow, while paid plans and one-time packs provide more usage.

When an eligible generation fails after processing, the interface explains the failure and returns the credits for that attempt automatically. You can adjust the prompt or input and try again.

Paid plans include commercial-use rights for generated content. You are still responsible for having permission to use uploaded images, audio, logos, people, and other protected material in the final video.

Yes. CupCut runs in a mobile browser without a separate app. For detailed prompt writing, file management, and reviewing fine visual details, a larger screen may still be more convenient.
