How to Create AI Video from Text

A complete beginner's guide to generating your first AI video using Agnes Video Generator — completely free. Want to use Agnes AI's free video models? This tool requires no coding.

Creating AI-generated videos from text has never been easier. With Agnes Video Generator, you can turn any text description into a narrated, subtitled video in just a few minutes — making Agnes AI's powerful free video models accessible to everyone. This guide walks you through the entire process step by step.

1

Install and Launch Agnes Video Generator

Clone the repository from GitHub and run the setup commands. The entire installation takes about 2 minutes. Once launched, open the web interface in your browser — you'll see a clean, intuitive creation workspace.

2

Choose Your Creation Mode

Select 'Simple Video' for a quick single-clip generation. This mode is perfect for beginners and gives you full control over parameters like duration, resolution, and generation style. For more complex projects, explore Creative Video or Manuscript Video modes later.

3

Write Your Video Prompt

Describe the video you want to create in natural language. Be specific about the scene, mood, and visual elements. For example: 'A serene mountain lake at sunrise, with mist rising from the water and birds flying across the sky.' The more detailed your prompt, the better the result.

4

Configure Video Settings

Adjust the video resolution, duration, and other parameters. You can set a specific seed for reproducible results, add negative prompts to exclude unwanted elements, and choose the video chaining mode. Default settings work well for most use cases.

5

Generate and Preview

Click 'Start Generating' and watch as the AI creates your video. Progress is shown in real-time via WebSocket. Once complete, preview the video directly in the interface. If you're not satisfied, tweak the prompt and regenerate — it's free and no GPU needed, so experiment freely.

6

Download and Share

When you're happy with the result, download the video file. The output includes the AI-generated video with any narration and subtitles you configured. Share it directly to social media or use it in your projects.

Pro Tips for Better Results

  • •Use descriptive, specific language in your prompts rather than vague descriptions.
  • •Start with shorter durations (5-10 seconds) to test your prompt before generating longer videos.
  • •Try different seed values to get varied visual styles from the same prompt.
  • •Use negative prompts to explicitly exclude elements you don't want in your video.
