Text-to-Video
Definition
AI tools that convert written descriptions into complete video content, including visuals, audio, and effects.
Text-to-video uses NLP to understand a written description, then generates visuals, narration, music, and subtitles. Modern tools create cohesive, production-ready videos from inputs as short as a single sentence. Orange works this way end to end: you describe the video in a chat, and the pipeline turns it into a finished short.
