TalkCut offers multiple approaches to video generation, each suited to different creative needs. All generated videos appear as new elements on your canvas.

​
Text-to-video

Describe a scene in words and the AI generates a video clip. Examples:
  • “A drone shot flying over a mountain range at sunrise”
  • “A cat walking across a piano keyboard, close-up”
  • “Abstract liquid metal flowing and morphing shapes, slow motion”
Text-to-video works best for establishing shots, abstract sequences, and scenes where you want the AI to interpret your description freely.

​
Image-to-video

Turn a static image on your canvas into a video. The AI animates the image while preserving its visual style and composition. Examples:
  • “Animate this landscape with gentle wind through the trees and clouds moving”
  • “Make the water in this image ripple and reflect light”
  • “Add subtle camera movement — slow push in toward the subject”
This is one of the most useful generation modes. Start with an image you like (generated or uploaded), then bring it to life.

​
First-last-frame

Define the start and end of a video by providing two images. The AI interpolates between them, creating a smooth transition. To use this:
  1. Place two images on the canvas — your first frame and your last frame
  2. Tell the AI: “Create a video transitioning from [first image] to [last image]”
This gives you precise control over the beginning and end of a shot. The AI handles the in-between frames. Use cases:
  • Scene transitions (day to night, empty room to furnished)
  • Character movement (standing to sitting, calm to surprised)
  • Environmental changes (dry landscape to rainy, calm sea to storm)

​
Motion control

Apply the motion pattern from a reference video to a static image. The AI extracts how things move in the reference and applies that motion to your image. To use this:
  1. Upload a reference video with the motion you want
  2. Place a static image on the canvas
  3. Tell the AI: “Apply the motion from [video] to [image]”
This is useful when you have a specific camera movement or animation style you want to replicate with different visual content.

​
Edit video

Modify an existing video with text instructions, similar to image editing. Examples:
  • “Change the color grading to a warm vintage look”
  • “Make the motion slower”
  • “Add rain to this outdoor scene”

Video generation uses more credits than image generation because of the computational complexity involved.
