How to Generate an AI Video from a Text Prompt

2026-06-284 min readBeginner

AI video prompts work best when they describe a shot rather than a broad idea. A useful structure is:

subject + action + setting + camera movement + lighting + visual style

For example:

A red fox walking through a snowy forest, soft snowfall, low tracking camera, overcast natural light, realistic cinematic style.

Create a short video

  1. Open the NavoKit Free AI Video Generator.
  2. Describe one clear scene. Avoid combining several unrelated shots.
  3. Choose landscape for websites and YouTube, portrait for Reels or Shorts, or square for social feeds.
  4. Choose an approximate three- or five-second duration.
  5. Start generation and keep the page open while the asynchronous task runs.
  6. Review the final motion, subject consistency, framing, and any unexpected details.

The generator may normalize the requested dimensions and duration, so the final values shown with the result are the authoritative output specifications.

Improve a weak result

  • If the subject changes between frames, simplify the scene and describe the subject more precisely.
  • If motion is chaotic, request one action and one camera movement.
  • If the shot feels flat, specify the light direction, time of day, and camera distance.
  • If generation fails, remove sensitive, ambiguous, or policy-restricted details and try again.
