Text to Video — Generate Cinematic Videos from Text Prompts

Turn any text prompt into high-quality video in seconds. WaveSpeed gives you access to the fastest text-to-video models — Wan, Kling, Seedance, Vidu, Hailuo, and more — through one unified platform.

How Text to Video Works on WaveSpeed

From prompt to video in three steps. No setup, no cold starts, no waiting. WaveSpeed's infrastructure handles model routing, GPU allocation, and output delivery automatically.

Scene Understanding

The model interprets spatial relationships, lighting, motion, and subject interaction from your prompt — producing video that matches what you described, not just keywords.

Temporal Coherence

Each frame maintains consistent physics, character appearance, and environmental continuity. No flickering, no identity drift, no sudden scene changes.

Multi-Model Access

Switch between Wan, Kling, Seedance, Hailuo, or any model with a single API parameter change. Compare outputs across models without changing your integration.

FAQ

Text to video is a type of AI generation that converts written text prompts into video content. You describe a scene, action, or concept in words, and the AI model produces a corresponding video — complete with motion, lighting, and visual detail.

WaveSpeed hosts all major text-to-video models including Wan 2.5/2.6, Seedance 1.0, Kling Omni3, Vidu Q3, Hailuo 02, and more. New models are added regularly as they release.

Speed depends on the model and video length, but WaveSpeed's infrastructure is optimized for minimal latency — with zero cold starts, ParaAttention acceleration, and FP8 quantization. Most generations complete in seconds to under a minute.

Most models support up to 1080P resolution. Video length varies by model — from 5-second clips to 2+ minute sequences. Check each model's specs on the model page for details.

Yes. WaveSpeed provides a unified REST API for all models. Generate videos programmatically with Python SDK or JavaScript SDK. Batch generation is also supported.

No. WaveSpeed is a fully managed platform — all inference runs on WaveSpeed's optimized cloud infrastructure. No GPU setup, no DevOps, no cold starts.
