Text-To-Film: 15-Minute Video From One Prompt!

Matt Wolfe demos InVideo AI, which generates full videos from text prompts by writing scripts, adding voiceovers, and pulling stock footage. A 90-second short takes about 90 seconds to process; a 15-minute explainer takes roughly 9 minutes. You can customize voices, edit the script and clips, and add subtitles.

In this video, I want to share with you an AI tool that allows you to enter a text prompt and output an entire film. You could simply enter a prompt like a cinematic video about a monk with superpowers and watches. This tool scripts a video for you, does a voiceover for you, and find stock video to cover the entire video. All you do is enter a prompt and it completely makes a video for you. The tool I'm talking about today is called InVideo AI and they're actually the sponsor of this video. Check out this description, think of any topic and Invideo AI gets to work. It generates your script, creates scenes, adds voiceovers, and tweaks everything at your command. They don't call this text to video, they call it text to film because you can literally generate ten 20 minute plus videos using this one tool. Now this isn't similar to other tools where you enter a text input and it generates a brand new video where you get people with funky hands and weird motion and you've seen the text to video that exists out there already. This isn't that. This actually pulls stock video footage from existing stock video libraries. And they have a database of over 16 million-stock media files. So let's jump in and check it out. When we log in, they have a very, very simple dashboard. Let's go ahead and click on Create AI Video. Up at the top, we've got a little dropdown for YouTube shorts, YouTube explainer, or a recent events video. I believe they're going to be adding a lot more workflows in over time, but this is a very, very early tool. You're on the ground floor and seeing something very, very new right now. Let's go ahead and click on select workflow. We'll pick a YouTube short and then it brings up this little dialog box to help us prompt here. So create a YouTube short. About seven fun attractions to visit in and around San Diego. And then we can select the gender of the voice we want. We can have it pick for us with any gender. We can pick a male or we can pick a female. Let's go ahead and use a female. Under the second dropdown, we have some more options. A clear American voice, voice with a Californian accent, Southern accent, Midwestern accent, transatlantic voice, voice of a New Yorker, young British voice, Northern English, middle aged British, old, husky British, Indian English, young Indian voice, and Australian voice. Since this is about San Diego, let's go ahead and do voice with a Californian accent. And then we have the option to show or hide the subtitles of what it generates. So let's go ahead and let it show them and click Continue. Now I can click generate video and you can see as it does its work here. It did an analysis and now it's thinking. It came up with a title, San Diego's Top seven Unmissable Attractions. And now it popped up with another dialog box asking me for the audience, do we want it to be for tourists, for travel enthusiasts, or for California residents? Let's go ahead and leave it for tourists. Look and feel bright summer inspiring. Let's go ahead and use summer feel platform. Let's go ahead and leave it for YouTube shorts. And click Continue. And now it says this might take a few minutes and it's ideating and it's done. Now I know I edit out the loading just to keep the video moving, but it took about 90 seconds, less than 2 minutes to do this whole thing. So let's take a peek at what we've got here.
Sunshine, palm trees and a whole lot of fun. Welcome to San Diego, a city that's never short on excitement. Here are seven must visit attractions to add to your bucket list. First up, Balboa Park. With 17 museums and a world class zoo, it's a culture vultures paradise. Next, we hit the waves at Pacific Beach, a surfer's dream come true. For the history buffs, there's the USS Midway Museum, which is a naval aircraft carrier turned museum that's simply awe inspiring. Love nature. Torrey Pines State Reserve offers scenic trails and stunning ocean views. Fifth, Old Town, San Diego. Step back in time and experience the rich Mexican and early American history. SeaWorld San Diego, where you can encounter marine life like never before, takes the sixth spot. Lastly, don't miss La Jolla Cove. Its mesmerizing sea lions and crystal clear waters are truly captivating. That's your quick guide to San Diego, the city that has it all.
Okay, first comment. I couldn't help but hear Ellen DeGeneres voice. That's what it sounded like to me. But second of all, it actually nailed the video clips when it actually showed the various locations. The videos were actually showing the right locations. But let's say it didn't. Let's say some of the clips weren't quite right. Well, I can simply click on this edit button, click on Edit media, and then we can see all of the various clips that it used up here. And then when I click on a clip, you can actually see that it highlights that section of the video so I know exactly which part of the video it is. So let's go and click on this one where it said SeaWorld San Diego, where you can encounter marine life like never before. It kind of has a video of the beach. It's not really relevant to SeaWorld. So let's go ahead and type SeaWorld down here and see if it can find something a little more relevant. And we've actually got a still image of SeaWorld. I can go ahead and click Replace, click Apply. It's going to process here for a second. And now I've got the green check mark saying that it's been changed. So now if I jump to this part of the video where it talks about SeaWorld, you can see now.
Now, SeaWorld San Diego, where you can encounter marine life like never before, takes the sixth spot.
Now, I've got a clip of SeaWorld directly in that video. Let's say there's something that's not quite right about the script, and I want to tweak that. I can click on Edit script. I can see the full script here, and I can change any specific words that I need to change in the script. I think this one did a pretty good job. So I'm just going to leave it as is. Now let's say I want it to be a male voice instead of a female voice. I can actually come down to this. Give me a command to edit the video box that's right here and say change the voice voice over to a male Californian voice. Click, generate. You can see here it says regenerating voiceover. And now you can see it says, change the voice to a new one. So let's give it another quick listen. Sunshine, palm trees, and a whole lot of fun. Welcome to San Diego, a city that's never short on excitement. Let's go ahead and change the background music to something more upbeat and poppy. Click, generate. Now it's updated the tracks. Let's see what it sounds like this time. Sunshine, palm trees, and a whole lot of fun. Welcome to San Diego, a city that's never short on excitement. Here are seven, much better. So if you need to crank out a ton of YouTube shorts or a ton of TikTok videos or Instagram reels or wherever you like to post your videos, this is a way to just crank out a ton of videos really quickly on whatever topic and it will automatically pull in the footage. And yes, it does say I stock by Getty Images on this and some of them had the story blocks watermark down in the bottom corner. But when you export the, you can actually export it without Watermarks if you're on their paid plan. All right, let's try another topic. Let's go up here to create new but this time let's do a YouTube explainer video. Let's do a 15 minute video this time. And this time let's do the best advice around starting a brand new home based business. And it says here we can add optional creative directions. Make the video your own by adding detailed creative thoughts and ideas like tone, humor, et cetera. The video should be fun and playful with a little bit of humor but also very educational. Make the background music inspiring. This time let's go ahead and use a female and let's do. I want to use an Australian voice. And let's go ahead and click continue. And now it wrote the prompt for us. Create a 15 minute YouTube video about the best advice around starting a brand new home based business. Make the background music inspiring settings. The video should be fun and playful with a little bit of humor but also very educational. Use a female Australian voice. All right, so who is our audience? Let's go ahead and make it home based workers look and feel. Let's make it inspiring and let's click continue. This might take a few minutes. I'm going to fast forward real quick and I'll tell you exactly how long it took. Okay, so it took about 9ish minutes to complete that, which makes sense because it's over 16 times longer than the last video. Now I'm not going to play this entire 16 minute long video, but let's take a peek. You can see it actually broke it up into looks like eight chapters here. Let's watch the first few minutes of it.
Have you ever thought about starting a home based business? It's a tantalizing prospect, isn't it? The idea of swapping the daily commute for the comfort of your own living space. Trading in the office politics for the tranquility of your own domain.
I don't really want to play a full 16 minute video here, but it looks like it found some really good relevant stock video for the entire thing which is really, really impressive. Now if I'm being honest, I'm not totally sure I hear the Australian accent in the voice.
Now let's talk about the marketing and sales strategy. This is where your market but it's.
Still a pretty impressive sounding voice nonetheless. And to be able enter just one prompt, wait 9ish minutes and have a completely done video. That's dang impressive. Let's try adding subtitles. Let's click add subtitles to the entire video. And let's click generate. It says, all right, let's add some subtitles to this video and literally just a few seconds later it already says enabled subtitles. Let's click play.
Have you ever thought about starting a home based business? It's a tantalizing prospect, isn't it?
Pretty dang good. One more test here. In the very beginning, the example was a monk that becomes a superhero. Let's not use a workflow here. Let's go ahead and just enter our own prompt and say a three minute story about a monk who becomes a superhero. Use the hero's journey story arc and a three act structure and let's just click Generate video with no other instructions. Let it sort of pick everything else itself. Audience, let's go comic book fans. Look and feel minimalist Zen. Let's go Epic platform. I'll leave it on YouTube. And let's click continue. So it took less than two minutes to generate this video. And. And before we take a look at it, I do want to tell you that you can try Nvidia AI for free. I'll put the link in the description to where you can try it. If you've been watching my YouTube channel for any time now, you'd know that I don't actually ever do dedicated sponsored videos where a sponsor wants me to make an entire video about just their product. I've said no every single time that's come up. Invideo has been the one exception because I saw what the tool can do and went, this is awesome. Let's do it. And so this is the first and probably only video you're going to see. It's a completely sponsored video by one single company. And that's just because I was actually blown away by the tool myself and really love the outputs that it came up with. I'm a fan. Again, I'll put the link to where you can find InVideo AI in the description and try it yourself for free. And I'll wrap this video up by watching From Zen to Hero Amongst Journey. And as you're watching this, just think about the types of videos you can make with a tool like this. Explainer videos, story videos, narrative videos. I truly believe it's going to be a super useful AI tool.
In the heart of an ancient temple nestled high in the Tibetan mountains, a mysterious event unfolded. A humble monk known only as Tenzin was meditating when a strange comet streaked across the sky, bathing the temple in a radiant, ethereal light. This was not just another celestial body passing by. It was the harbinger of a destiny yet to unfold. Tenzin the monk was a man of peace and tranquility, but destiny had chosen him for a path less ordinary. His life, once filled with serene contemplation, was about to become a battleground of epic proportions. The comet brought with it an alien entity, a malevolent force bent on sowing discord and chaos. Soon, Tenzin found himself in the throes of adversity. His once peaceful temple was now a fortress under siege. The entity, a shape shifting shadow creature, sought to engulf the world in darkness.

The final confrontation was a spectacle of light and shadow, a cosmic ballet of good versus evil. Tenzin, armed with his newfound powers, faced the entity. Their battle shook the mountains, the clash of their powers echoing through the valleys. But Tenzin, with his unwavering spirit and celestial martial arts, overcame the great evil. He banished the entity, restoring peace and harmony to his temple and the world beyond. And thus, the humble monk transformed into a beacon of hope, A superhero. He became the guardian of the temple, the protector of peace. His story serves as a reminder that heroes come in many forms, often from the most unlikely places. From the tranquil heart of a temple to the chaotic battlefield. Tenzin's journey was one of transformation, courage, and resilience. In the end, the monk turned superhero stood as a testament to to the power of the human spirit. His journey from humble beginnings to a destiny written in the stars is an epic saga of a hero's journey. His transformation is a testament to the potential within us all. A reminder that sometimes the greatest heroes come from the most unexpected of places. Tenzin, the guardian of the temple, is a superhero like no other. A warrior of peace in a world of chaos.
