Introduction
An introduction to Video Generation in Qolaba — what it does, how to access it, a walkthrough of the interface, and how to generate your first video.
Qolaba's Video Generation workspace lets you create short AI-generated videos from text prompts, reference images, or a combination of both — using multiple state-of-the-art generative video models. Whether you are animating a static image, generating a cinematic scene from a prompt, or creating a transition between two frames, the workspace gives you granular control over motion, quality, duration, and style.
What You Can Do
Text-to-video — Describe a scene and generate a video from a written prompt
Image-to-video — Upload a starting image and animate it with a motion prompt
Image transition — Define a first and last frame and let the model generate the motion between them
Reference-guided generation — Use images, videos, or audio as generation references (model dependent)
Cinematic control — Apply motion, lens, lighting, focus, and enhancement keywords for precise stylistic control
Multi-model access — Choose from multiple video models, each with different strengths for speed, quality, realism, and creative output
Multiple variations — Generate several versions in one run and compare outputs before downloading

Interface Overview
The Video Generation workspace is organized into three areas:
Left Panel — Input & Configuration This is where you set up your generation. It contains:
Model selector
Prompt input and Magic Prompt toggle
Reference media uploads (initial image, last frame, reference files)
Keywords panel (motion, focus, lens, enhancement, lighting, negative keywords)
Right Panel — Output Controls This is where you define the parameters of your output:
Number of generations
Video duration
Resolution and quality
Aspect ratio and dimensions
Audio generation toggle (model dependent)
Bottom Bar — Credit Display The live credit counter updates in real time as you adjust settings — showing exactly how many credits will be consumed before you generate. Total credits are calculated as credits per video × number of generations.
Generate Your First Video
Step 1 — Open the workspace via Audio & Video → Video Generation in the left navigation panel.
Step 2 — Select a model from the model selector. If you are unsure which to choose, see Model Selection & Configuration → for a full breakdown of model capabilities and recommendations.
Step 3 — Enter a prompt describing your scene. Include the subject, environment, camera movement, and mood for best results. Use Magic Prompt to automatically enhance your prompt if needed.
Step 4 — Optionally upload a reference image as the starting frame, last frame, or creative reference depending on your chosen model.
Step 5 — Set your output preferences in the right panel — duration, resolution, aspect ratio, number of generations, and audio if applicable.
Step 6 — Review the credit cost in the bottom bar. Adjust settings if needed.
Step 7 — Click Generate. Your video will appear in the preview area once processing is complete.
