# Video Generation

> Create AI-generated videos from text prompts or images. Learn about supported video models, duration options, and download formats in Open Canva.

## Overview

Open Canva supports AI video generation alongside image generation. You can create videos from text prompts (text-to-video) or from existing images (image-to-video) using a growing library of video models.

## How video generation works

<Steps>
  <Step title="Select a video model">
    In the model selector, switch to the **Video** tab. Pick one or more video models to run.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter your prompt">
    Describe the motion and scene you want. Video prompts benefit from action words and camera direction:

    * "A golden retriever running through a field of wildflowers, slow motion, cinematic"
    * "Camera slowly orbiting around a futuristic city at night, neon lights reflecting off wet streets"
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose generation mode">
    * **Text-to-Video (T2V)**: Generate a video entirely from your text prompt.
    * **Image-to-Video (I2V)**: Attach a reference image and the model animates it into a video.

    <Info>
      Not all models support both modes. The UI indicates which modes each model supports.
    </Info>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Generate and review">
    Click **Generate**. Video generation typically takes longer than image generation (30 seconds to several minutes depending on the model and duration).

    Videos appear in your session history with a play button overlay and autoplay on hover.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Video duration

Video duration limits depend on your subscription plan:

| Plan       | Maximum duration |
| ---------- | ---------------- |
| Starter    | 5 seconds        |
| Pro        | 5 seconds        |
| Max        | 10 seconds       |
| Enterprise | Unlimited        |

## Downloading videos

Click the download button on any generated video to choose your format:

* **MP4** -- Standard video format, best compatibility
* **GIF** -- Animated GIF for easy sharing
* **WebP** -- Animated WebP, smaller file size than GIF
* **PNG** -- Extract a single frame as a still image

## Tips for video generation

<Tip>
  **Describe motion explicitly**: Unlike image prompts, video prompts should describe what moves and how. "A bird soaring across a sunset sky" works better than "a bird at sunset."
</Tip>

<Tip>
  **Use Image-to-Video for control**: If you have a specific starting frame in mind, generate the image first, then use I2V to animate it.
</Tip>

<Tip>
  **Expect longer generation times**: Video models are more compute-intensive. Plan for 30 seconds to a few minutes per generation.
</Tip>
