# Video Generation

The Video Generation tool lets you produce short AI-generated videos from text prompts directly within the chat interface — powered by **Veo 3.1** by Google, one of the most capable video generation models available.

***

#### What It Does

When Video Generation is enabled, describe the video you need in your prompt and the model generates a short clip inline within the chat. Credit usage for video generation varies based on three factors you can control — resolution, audio, and duration.

Common use cases:

* Short social media video drafts
* Product concept visualizations
* Ad campaign storyboard clips
* Explainer video references
* Creative ideation and visual prototyping

***

#### How to Enable It

Toggle **Video Generation** on in the Toolkit panel. Describe the video content in your prompt — include details about scene, motion, style, and tone.

**Example prompt:**

```
A short 5-second clip of a coffee cup on a wooden desk,
steam rising slowly, warm morning light, cinematic style, no audio.
```

#### Generation Options & Credit Usage

Video generation credits vary based on three factors:

**Resolution**

**Audio**

| Option               | Credit Cost    |
| -------------------- | -------------- |

{% hint style="info" %}
For quick concept drafts or storyboard references, generate at 720p, 4 seconds, without audio to minimize credit usage while still evaluating the visual output.
