Flow AI Video Generator: Create Videos from Text and Images
Learn how the Flow AI Video Generator turns a prompt or first-frame image into a short clip, with model settings and credit estimates before submission.
The Flow AI Video Generator is a browser workspace for turning a written scene or a single image into a short video clip. It keeps the prompt, first frame, model, framing, duration and credit estimate in one place so you can understand a generation before submitting it.
What the Flow AI Video Generator does
Start with either Text to Video or Image to Video. Text to Video is useful when you are exploring a setting, mood or action without a reference image. Image to Video is useful when the opening composition, product, illustration or visual identity already matters.
The generator shows the models currently enabled for the site. Depending on availability, that can include Veo, Seedance, Kling, Wan and Hailuo options. Each model can support a different set of durations, resolutions, aspect ratios and audio behavior. The controls update when you change the model, so unsupported combinations are avoided before submission.
A simple workflow
- Write one clear scene or upload a first frame. Keep the first attempt focused on one subject and one action. Uploaded images must be JPG, PNG or WebP files up to 5 MB, and you should have permission to use them.
- Choose the model and shot settings. Select a supported duration, resolution and aspect ratio. Review the credit quote beside the generation control, especially when moving from a free-credit model to a premium option.
- Sign in and generate. You can explore the controls before signing in. Submitting a task requires an account and enough total credits. The task status can be followed in the generator and in My creations.
How to get a better first result
Describe a subject, a setting, one visible action and one camera move. “A ceramic cup on a wooden table, steam rising, slow push-in in soft morning light” gives a model more useful direction than a list of unrelated style words. If you need prompt structure, read Flow AI Video prompts.
Start with a short duration and a modest movement when you are testing a new idea. Change one detail between attempts so you can tell which instruction affected the result. The generator displays the quote for the exact settings you choose, rather than promising a fixed cost per video.
Credits, failures and storage
The quote depends on the selected model and settings. Any active credit grant can cover an enabled model or supported resolution when the total balance reaches the quote. If a request is blocked before charging, it is not charged. If a submitted generation fails, is rejected upstream or times out, reserved credits are restored according to the original grant rules.
Completed videos and uploaded first frames are stored for 30 days. Download results you need to keep. See pricing for current credit and storage details.
The Flow AI Video Generator is designed for individual clips. Assemble longer stories, captions and final edits in the video editor you already use.
