Video Glossary
Text to Video
Text to video is AI technology that generates video content from a written prompt or script.
What is text to video?
Text to video is AI technology that creates video from written input. You provide a prompt or a script, and the tool generates footage, an avatar presenter, or an edited sequence to match, without a camera or a shoot.
How text to video works
These tools combine language models with video generation. Some produce fully synthetic scenes from a description, while others build a video by pairing your script with stock footage, an AI presenter, voice-over, and captions. You then edit the result to fit your brand.
Why text to video matters
It lowers the cost and time of producing video, especially for simple explainers and social content. Teams can test ideas quickly and create more video without booking studio time. Quality varies, so it works best for straightforward messages rather than high-end production.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does text to video work?
Is AI-generated video good enough for business use?
It works well for simple explainers and social content. For high-end or highly branded production, it is best used alongside real footage rather than on its own.
What is the difference between text to video and AI video editing?
Text to video creates new video from a prompt, while AI video editing works on footage you already have. One generates, the other refines.
Can I make video from my webinar content instead of a prompt?
Yes, and it keeps your content authentic. Livestorm's AI features (https://livestorm.co/features/ai) help you generate clips, captions, and summaries from real webinars.
