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.

Edit generated videos

After a video appears on the canvas, select it and use the video editing tools:

​
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.
