Turn a short visual brief into AI video

Thague's Video tab supports text-to-video and image-to-video generation. For text-to-video, describe the scene and its motion, choose from the available models and review the cost before starting. The model determines which length, size and other controls are available.

Write for motion, not only appearance

An image prompt describes a frame; a video prompt also describes what happens over time. Set out the subject, environment, movement and camera behaviour. A simple action in a stable setting gives you a clearer result to evaluate than several scene changes in one short clip.

Keep the camera instruction coherent

Choose a main camera movement such as a slow push-in or a gentle pan. Combining a zoom, orbit, tracking shot and abrupt cut in the same brief can be ambiguous. Describe how fast the subject moves and what should remain stationary. Model-specific support for sound and other features varies; use the controls shown for the selected model.

Review before building the next asset

Watch the full result for changes in identity, flicker, awkward motion and continuity. Download useful clips and keep the original brief for later revisions. An existing clip can also become the input for the video tools, including Upscale and Restyle, rather than requiring a new generation for every adjustment.

How to use it in Thague

  1. Open Studio → Video and choose Generate.
  2. Describe the scene, subject movement and camera movement.
  3. Choose the model, supported length and size, then check the displayed cost.
  4. Start generation, review the clip and download the result.

Example text-to-video prompt

A ceramic cup on a stone table beside a window. Steam rises gently while the camera slowly pushes closer. Soft morning light, fixed background, one continuous shot.

What to check before sharing

Video generation is not guaranteed to follow every action precisely. Clip lengths and output settings depend on the selected model. Review for visual errors, and use only source material you have permission to upload.

Questions

Can Thague generate video from a text description?

Yes. Use Generate in the Video tab without a start image. Describe the scene and motion, then choose an available model and its supported settings.

How much does an AI video cost?

A plan (Starter, Pro or Pro Plus) is required. Each video uses credits; the cost varies with the model and settings and is displayed before you start. There is no single fixed credit price for every video.
