# Text to Video Generator

Paste any block of text and get it back as a narrated, captioned vertical video with a frame per scene.

Canonical page: https://www.veedio.co/tools/text-to-video-generator
Search intent: Someone with words already written — a note, a paragraph, a section of a doc — who wants them turned into video.

## What it produces

- 5 to 8 scenes, each with one spoken line and one generated frame
- A minute by default; 30, 60, 90 or 180 seconds are selectable in the composer (free accounts up to 60s, paid plans to 180s). Scene length comes from the narration's true duration
- ElevenLabs voiceover: 5 voices, narrating in any of 29 languages
- Word-timed captions burned in from the voice model's own character alignment
- A licensed music bed, ducked under the narration, loudness-normalised master
- 9:16, 1:1 or 16:9, 1080-class, no watermark on any plan

## Preset applied on this page

- Source type: prompt
- Voice: adam
- Captions: bold-center
- Music: lofi
- Visual style: cinematic
- Aspect ratio: 9:16

## The brief this page adds, verbatim

This string is prepended to whatever the visitor types before the scriptwriter
sees it — in the free preview on this page, in the video you generate after
clicking through to the composer, and in the API when you send
`preset: "text-to-video-generator"`. It is the only difference between this page and
the others.

> Turn the text below into a spoken short. Keep the writer’s meaning and their strongest phrases, but rewrite for the ear: shorter sentences, one idea per scene, and the sharpest line moved to the front.

## Example inputs from the page

- We spent six months building a feature nobody used. Here is what we should have done instead: talked to twenty customers before writing a line of code, shipped the ugliest possible version in a week, and watched what people did with it rather than what they said about it.
- Compound interest is not really about money. It is about the shape of a curve. Anything that gets one percent better every day — a skill, a habit, an audience — ends the year thirty-seven times bigger than it started.
- Most people think jet lag is about sleep. It is actually about light. Your body clock resets from what your eyes see, not from how tired you feel, which is why a walk outside at the right hour beats any amount of napping.

## Free with an account

The widget on the page runs the real scriptwriter with this preset and returns the
script, the per-scene image prompts and the estimated runtime. That needs a free
account — it takes a moment and no card — and costs no credits. Rendering the
visuals, voiceover and final file does spend credits, and signup comes with 60 of
them (about 4 videos).

## How it works

1. **Paste the text** — A paragraph, a note, a slack message you wrote too well to waste. No formatting requirements.
2. **It becomes scenes** — The text is rewritten for the ear and split so that each scene carries exactly one idea, with a frame to match it.
3. **Voiced, captioned, cut** — Narration is generated, captions are timed to it, music sits underneath, and it renders as a single file.

## Writing for the eye and writing for the ear are different jobs

Text that reads beautifully often sounds terrible. Subordinate clauses that a reader can re-scan are lost on a listener, who gets one pass at the sentence and no way back. Semicolons vanish. Parentheses become confusion.

So this does not simply read your paragraph aloud. It rewrites it for speech — shorter sentences, one idea per scene, the strongest phrase moved to the front where a scroll-stopper has to live — while keeping your meaning and, wherever they survive the move, your actual words.

## One idea per scene, because the picture has to agree with the line

Every scene gets a generated frame built from that scene’s own line. That only works if the line is about one thing. A sentence that covers a statistic, a metaphor and a caveat has no single image, and the frame behind it ends up generic.

The split is therefore semantic rather than mechanical. It is not chopping your text every fifteen words; it is finding where the ideas change and cutting there, which is also where a viewer expects a cut.

## What comes back, and what you can change

You get a title, five to eight scenes, the spoken line for each, the image prompt behind each, and an estimated runtime — the whole plan of the video, before a single asset has been generated.

In the app, everything on that plan is editable. Change a line and regenerate that scene; change the image prompt and leave the narration alone; swap the voice and keep the script. Nothing forces a full re-render, and a scene regeneration is free.

## Who it is for

- **Newsletter writers** — One section of this week’s issue, posted as a short, is the cheapest audience growth available to you.
- **Support and docs teams** — The answer you have already written twenty times becomes a 40-second video you can link instead.
- **Course creators** — A module’s key idea, cut down to the one claim that makes people want the module.
- **Anyone with a notes app full of good sentences** — The writing is done. This is the part where it becomes something people actually see.

## Compared with making it the usual way

| | The usual way | With Veedio |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Input | Rewrite the text as a script, then storyboard it, then find the footage. | Paste the text. The rewrite, the split and the shot list happen in one pass. |
| Visuals | Search stock for a clip that vaguely matches paragraph three. | A frame generated from the line it sits behind, so it never vaguely matches. |
| Voiceover | Book a VO artist, or record yourself and cut the breaths out. | Five ElevenLabs voices, re-recorded free whenever the line changes. |
| Captions | Burn in auto-captions, then fix the six words it heard wrong. | Captions come from the script you approved, timed to the voice that read it. |
| Turnaround | Days, and most of it waiting on someone else. | About a minute, and you watch it fill in scene by scene. |
| Changing it | Re-record the line, re-cut the timeline, re-export, re-upload. | Edit the line and regenerate that one scene. Regenerating a scene is free. |

## FAQ

### How much text can I paste?

Roughly 1,500 characters into the free box on this page, and 5,000 in the app. Beyond that you are describing a video longer than a short, and the scriptwriter will cut it down rather than run past a minute.

### Will it keep my exact words?

Some of them. It keeps your meaning and your best phrasing but rewrites for the ear. If you want your wording preserved as closely as possible, use the script-to-video tool instead — that preset is explicitly told to keep the original.

### Can I paste something with headings and bullet points?

Yes. Structure is a help rather than a hindrance: headings usually mark exactly where the scene breaks belong, and bullets often become one scene each.

### What if the text is about something the model does not know?

Then keep it descriptive rather than referential. The scriptwriter works from what you paste, so facts, numbers and names in the text will survive; a passing reference to something you have not explained may not.

### Does it add facts I did not write?

It should not, and the prompt tells it not to, but it is a language model and it can still reach for a connective claim. Read the script before you render — that is exactly why the script comes back first.

### Can I choose how many scenes it makes?

Not directly. Scene count follows the length you choose — five to eight scenes in a minute, roughly one per seven or eight seconds of speech — so picking 90 seconds or 3 minutes in the composer is how you get more of them. Pasting less text makes a shorter video.

### What voice suits pasted text?

This page defaults to Adam, a deeper documentary read, because pasted prose tends to be explanatory. All five voices are one dropdown away, and switching voices later re-records the narration only.

### Does the music get in the way of the words?

No. The bed is ducked underneath the narration and the whole master is loudness-normalised, so it sits at the level everything else in the feed does. You can also set music to none.

### Do I have to sign up to try this?

Yes, a free one. Signup takes a moment and needs no card. Once you are signed in, the box at the top writes the script and the shot list for no credits — that is the part that decides whether the video is worth making — and rendering it into a file uses the 60 free credits the account starts with, about four videos.

### What does it cost after the free credits?

Starter is $19 a month, Pro $49, Studio $149. A credit is a unit of pipeline cost rather than a video, so a five-scene short costs less than a nine-scene one, and you see the estimate before you spend anything.

### Do I own the videos, and is there a watermark?

You own them, on every plan including the free credits, and there is no watermark on any plan, no resolution cap and no platform withheld. Four things do follow the plan, because they are what a video costs to make: AI motion and sound effects need Starter, a presenter avatar and the choice of video model need Pro, and a free account tops out at a minute where paid plans go to three. Everything else — every voice, every language, every caption style, every aspect ratio — is the same on all of them.
