Watch the setup walkthrough

Real continuous screen capture with idle intervals accelerated 8×. English synthetic narration and captions use the same voice as our earlier tutorial. Zooms and pointer guides are editorial annotations. Images under Inspiration are platform examples, not outputs from this session.

1. Open Text to Video and review the model

Sign in to AIAI and choose Video → Text to Video. The main form should show a model selector above the Prompt field. Open that selector to inspect the available choices. In our session, Seedance 2.5 was already selected, and we kept it. Different models can expose different parameters and credit quotes.

2. Enter a clear prompt manually

For a video, describe the subject, action, camera movement and shot structure. This example uses one product and one slow push-in. The request to keep the bottle’s shape consistent is an instruction, not a tested claim about the model’s output.

Paste this example into the main Prompt field, rather than the separate Prompt Assistant chat:

A five-second product shot of an amber glass perfume bottle on a beige stone pedestal. The camera slowly pushes in while soft window light moves gently across the glass. Keep the bottle centered and its shape consistent. One continuous shot, no cuts, no text, no logo.

We used English directly and left Translate to English off. We did not click Polish your Prompt, Enhance Prompt, or Create Similar One. Manual entry is sufficient for following this setup demonstration.

3. Set the resolution, frame and duration

We changed the resolution to 720P, selected 16:9, and kept 5S. Keep the duration in the form consistent with your written prompt. Use the frame shape required by your destination; this example is landscape.

4. Review visibility and the credit quote, then stop

Public Visibility was on in this session. We observed it without changing it. Before any future generation, review this setting for the material you intend to use and check whether your account supports the visibility you need.

The final button displayed Generate 110. This is the quote shown for this configuration during recording, not an amount charged by this tutorial. Quotes may change with the model, parameters, plan or product updates. Check the value shown in your own account; do not assume preparing a form means generation is free.

Do not click Generate when following this setup-only exercise. Our balance remained 6 trial credits before and after the walkthrough. Save your prompt in your own notes if you want to return later; persistence of an unsubmitted form was not tested.

5. Recognize the prepared state

You should see your prompt and chosen parameters still in the input panel. The Inspiration gallery on the right is separate from your work. Its examples do not prove that your prompt has run. This lesson ends with a prepared form and an untouched Generate button.

Session notes

Recorded in signed-in desktop Chrome on September 18, 2026. We inspected the model menu, entered the shown prompt by hand, and prepared the parameters. No generation, assistant request, translation request, payment or download was submitted. Generation count: 0. Credits consumed by these recorded actions: 0. The video and screenshots come from that same session. Later output review and export testing are outside this guide’s scope.
