Short answer

Text-to-video is generative AI that creates video clips from written prompts or source images. Models such as Sora, Veo, Runway, and Kling generate motion, scenes, and camera movement from descriptions. Marketers use it for concept development, social content, and ad variations, though output length, consistency, and rights still require careful review.
