# Video Generation

> Generate AI videos from text descriptions in ZeroTwo Studio — available on Pro+ plans.

ZeroTwo's video Studio lets you generate short AI videos from text descriptions. Describe a scene, subject, or action and ZeroTwo will produce a video clip using one of its AI video generation models.

## Accessing video generation

Navigate to `/studio/video` from the **topbar** at the top of the ZeroTwo app. Click **Video** in the topbar to open the video workspace.

<Warning>
  Video generation is **Pro+ only**. Free plan users cannot access video generation. Upgrade in **Settings → Account** to unlock this feature.
</Warning>

## How it works

1. Navigate to `/studio/video`
2. Write a description of the video you want — subject, action, setting, camera movement, mood
3. Select a video generation model
4. Configure output settings: duration, aspect ratio, format
5. Click **Generate**
6. Wait for the generation to complete (typically 30 seconds to several minutes)
7. Preview the video in-browser, then download or share

## Generation time

<Warning>
  Video generation is significantly more compute-intensive than image generation. Expect generation times of **30 seconds to several minutes** depending on clip length, selected model, and current server load. Do not close the tab while a video is generating.
</Warning>

Typical generation times:

* Short clips (2–4 seconds): 30 seconds to 2 minutes
* Longer clips (5–10 seconds): 2–5 minutes or more

## Output formats

Generated videos can be downloaded in three formats:

| Format   | Best for                                               |
| -------- | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| **MP4**  | Universal sharing — works on all platforms and devices |
| **WebM** | Web embedding and smaller file sizes                   |
| **MOV**  | Mac and iOS workflows, video editing software          |

MP4 is recommended for most use cases due to maximum compatibility.

## Plan requirements

| Plan       | Video generation |

| Free       | Not available    |
| Pro        | Available        |
| Pro 2x     | Available        |
| Plus Ultra | Unlimited        |
| Business   | Unlimited        |

## Tips for your first video generation

Getting good results from AI video starts with a well-structured prompt. Here's what to focus on:

**1. Describe the subject clearly**

Who or what is in the video? What are they doing? Be specific:

* Vague: `a person outdoors`
* Better: `a young woman in a red coat walking through a snow-covered park, looking around with curiosity`

**2. Describe camera movement**

AI video models respond well to explicit camera direction:

* `slow pan from left to right`
* `static camera, no movement`
* `zoom out gradually revealing the full scene`
* `close-up on subject's face`

**3. Set the visual style and mood**

* `cinematic, warm tones, 24fps film look`
* `documentary style, natural lighting`
* `dreamy and soft, slightly desaturated`

**4. Keep it short for best results**

Start with 2–4 second clips. Short clips generate faster and are more consistent. Chain multiple short clips together in a video editor for longer sequences.

## Frequently asked questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Can I generate video on the Free plan?">
    No. Video generation is a Pro+ feature. Free plan users do not have access to video generation. Upgrade in **Settings → Account**.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How long does video generation take?">
    Typically 30 seconds to several minutes depending on clip duration, model, and current server load. Do not close the tab while generating — this will interrupt the process.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What's the maximum video length?">
    This depends on the selected model. Most models produce clips of 2–10 seconds. Check the model-specific limits in the model dropdown within the video Studio.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I generate video from an image?">
    Image-to-video capability depends on the selected model. Some video models support an input image as a starting frame. Check the model controls in the video Studio for this option.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What file formats can I download?">
    MP4, WebM, and MOV. See [Supported formats](/studio/video/supported-formats) for guidance on which to choose.
