Text to Video makes a clip from a description, and Image to Video brings an image to life. Both use the video provider you set in Settings → Video Generation, which is separate from image generation and from the model you chat with.
Each clip uses the provider’s credits or your Cloud points, and can take a while. Start with a short clip when you try a new provider.

​
Before you start

  1. Open Settings → Video Generation and pick a provider.
  2. Set its Credential Provider (the key or account it uses) and its Model Name.
  3. Click Set as Default.
The Enconvo Cloud providers, xAI (Enconvo Cloud) and Google Gemini (Enconvo Cloud), need no API key of your own.

​
Create a clip from text

  1. Open SmartBar, type your description, and run Text to Video. Describe the subject, the action, how the camera moves, and the scene.
  2. Wait while it shows Generating video….
  3. Preview the clip in the result, then paste it, copy it, or show it in Finder.

​
Animate an image

  1. Attach the source image, and describe what moves and what stays the same.
  2. Run Image to Video. It needs both a description and at least one image.
  3. Preview the clip and save it.
If the model accepts only one image or a limited length, write your request within those limits.

​
Providers and options

The video provider catalog includes xAI, Gemini, OpenRouter, Kie.ai, Topview, and their Enconvo Cloud versions. Models accept different inputs and resolutions. For example, Grok Imagine Video 1.5 adds a 1080p option that the base Grok Imagine Video model doesn’t have. Text to Video and Image to Video use the model’s default length and resolution. To choose them, ask an Agent in chat to make the clip, and ask only for options the model supports.
