Text to video models, and what each one costs
Text to video is the mode people mean when they say AI video: a written description in, a moving clip out, nothing else required. It is also the mode where models differ most, because everything in the frame is invented rather than inherited from a photograph.
66 models on Musevate work this way. The cheapest costs 5 credits for five seconds; 33 of them generate sound as well as pictures, and 40 have a clip on this site that we generated ourselves, with the prompt shown beside it.

Questions
What is text to video?
Generating a clip from a written description alone, with no image to start from. You describe the scene, the camera and the movement, and the model produces the frames. It is the mode to use when nothing exists yet; if you already have a still you want to bring to life, image to video will hold on to your subject far more faithfully.
How many text to video models are there on Musevate?
66 of the 73 models generate video from a prompt alone, and 33 of those also produce sound. 40 have an example clip on this site, generated on Musevate rather than taken from the provider's own reel.
Which text to video model should I use?
Start with the quality tier rather than the model. Musevate routes Fast, Quality and Cinema to the strongest compatible model for what you asked for, which is a better first answer than any ranking, because the right model depends on the length, the size and whether you need sound. Pick a specific one when you have a reason to.
How long does a text to video generation take?
From well under a minute to several minutes, depending on the model, the length and the size. Longer and larger costs more time as well as more credits. The studio shows progress while it runs, and the clip lands in your library when it is finished, so you do not have to sit and watch.
How detailed should the prompt be?
More detailed than feels necessary. Most of these models respond to camera language, lighting and the specific movement you want, not just the subject. Every example on this site shows the exact prompt that produced it, which is a more useful guide than any list of prompting rules.
