# Video Generation

How to generate videos from text prompts using the Video Generation tool in the Chatbo, including resolution, audio, and duration options.

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**

<table><thead><tr><th width="332.13128662109375">Option</th><th>Credit Cost</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>720p</td><td>Lower</td></tr><tr><td>1080p (default)</td><td>Standard</td></tr><tr><td>4K</td><td>Higher</td></tr></tbody></table>

**Audio**

| Option               | Credit Cost    |
| -------------------- | -------------- |
| With audio (default) | Standard       |
| Without audio        | Slightly lower |

**Duration**

| 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.
