Text-to-Video AI Generator

Describe a shot. Get a cinematic clip. Skrrol's text-to-video runs Sora 2 and Veo 3 in the browser paired with a real timeline studio.

About this generator

Text-to-video is the most direct way to make AI video — you write a shot description, the model renders it. Skrrol AI's text-to-video flow combines the strongest models available (OpenAI's Sora 2 and Google's Veo 3) with a full studio on the back end.

The input is a shot description: subject, action, camera move, lighting, mood, style, and duration. "A person walking through a misty forest at dawn" is fine. "A person in hiking gear walking uphill through a misty pine forest at sunrise, soft golden backlight, handheld camera following from behind, 8 seconds, cinematic" is better. The model renders the scene and drops it into your library.

Once the clip lands, you don't export and round-trip to another tool — the Skrrol studio opens on it immediately. Trim, color-grade, add captions and music, stack multiple AI clips into a sequence, export to YouTube, Reels, or TikTok. Text-to-video is your rapid ideation tool for storyboards, B-roll, hero shots, and finished short-form video all in one place.

Sora 2 tends cinematic and stylised; Veo 3 leans naturalistic with strong physics and motion. Both work the same way from the user side — the model selector shows which is available on your plan, and you can re-roll with both to find the better take.

Text-to-video costs more credits than image generation but less than image-to-video. The Free tier is enough to learn prompting; Standard at €7.99 covers a weekly video cadence; Advanced and Advanced Pro unlock studio production volume.

Capabilities

  • Sora 2 and Veo 3 models

    Choose per shot. Sora 2 for cinematic, stylised work; Veo 3 for naturalistic physics and motion.

  • Shot-specific prompting

    Describe subject, action, camera, lighting, style, and duration. Precise prompts cut iteration time.

  • Aspect ratios for every platform

    Generate 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, or 21:9 directly — no cropping post-generation.

  • Studio-ready output

    The clip opens in the Skrrol timeline immediately. Trim, grade, add text and music, stack into sequences.

  • Re-roll and variant tracking

    Every generation saves its prompt. Re-roll, fork with tweaks, compare candidates.

  • Local-first storage

    Clips land in OPFS on your device. Export when you want; keep private otherwise.

35000 VL credits — studio production volume for multiple finished pieces per week.

Frequently asked

How long can a clip be?+

Each model has its own duration cap. Skrrol surfaces the limit in the generator panel. For longer videos, generate multiple shots and sequence them.

Which model should I pick?+

Sora 2 for cinematic and stylised work. Veo 3 for naturalistic human and product shots with strong physics. Skrrol lets you try both.

Can I generate with audio?+

Veo 3 supports synchronised audio in many cases. For full control, generate silent and add music and voiceover on the timeline.

How much do generations cost?+

Text-to-video costs more than image but less than image-to-video. Standard at €7.99 covers a weekly cadence; Advanced and Pro unlock studio volume.

Can I edit after generating?+

Yes — the studio opens immediately on the clip. Trim, grade, add captions, music, and export.

Are my clips private?+

Generated clips live in OPFS on your device. The prompt goes to the upstream provider, but clips stay local until you export.

Pair with Studio features

Every generation opens directly in the Skrrol Studio. These features are especially useful as the next step after a text-to-video ai generator run.
