You can generate videos directly on the canvas in two ways: from a text prompt (text-to-video) or from an existing image on the canvas (image-to-video). Both give you control over model selection, duration, aspect ratio, and audio.
Generating videos directly on the canvas lets you pick the exact model, duration, and settings. For simple generation tasks, this uses fewer credits than asking the agent in the chat.

Submit and wait

Click submit. The placeholder shows a generating status. Video generation takes 30 seconds to a few minutes depending on duration and model.

Image-to-video on the canvas

You can animate any image already on the canvas into a video.

What you cannot do

  • You cannot set a specific resolution in pixels. Resolution is determined by the model (720p, 1080p, or 4K depending on model).
  • You cannot generate videos longer than 15 seconds in a single canvas operation. For longer content, use the timeline to stitch clips.
  • You cannot generate multiple videos at once from the canvas. Generate them one at a time.
