What is an AI reference to video generator?

An AI reference to video generator creates video clips based on a visual reference you describe in text. You describe the style, composition, lighting, and color palette of an existing image, painting, or concept, and the tool generates a video that reflects those visual characteristics.

AI Reference to Video Generator

Medieval castle from concept art

Input

A stone castle on a hilltop at dusk, weathered walls with moss, flags waving from towers, a winding dirt path leads to the gate, aerial view circling slowly, muted earth tones and deep blue sky

Expected output

A slow aerial circling clip of a medieval castle matching the described concept art style

Renaissance portrait with zoom

Input

A woman in Renaissance clothing sits by a window, soft natural light illuminates her face, warm ochre and sienna tones, subtle smoke drifts in the air, camera slowly pushes in on her expression

Expected output

A slow zoom-in clip on a Renaissance-style portrait with warm lighting and atmospheric detail

Futuristic cityscape at night

Input

A sprawling city at night with neon-lit skyscrapers, flying vehicles between buildings, deep purple and cyan color palette, camera sweeps from left to right across the skyline

Expected output

A sweeping aerial cityscape clip with neon lighting and futuristic color palette

Create video clips that match the style or composition of a reference image or concept described in text

Animate visual references

Describe a reference image, painting, or visual concept in text and see it rendered as a moving video clip.

Communicate art direction

Use text prompts to convey the look and feel of reference materials to teams or clients without uploading files.

Explore motion variations

Generate multiple clips from the same reference description with different camera movements or pacing.

How It Works

1

Describe the scene

Describe the desired scene and motion.

2

Choose settings

Choose the available generation settings.

3

Generate and download

Generate, review, and download a suitable result.

Describing reference visuals

Describe the visual reference in words: art style, medium, composition, color palette, and lighting to guide the generation.

Input Constraints

  • Describe reference imagery in text; the tool does not accept image uploads for this route
  • Include details about medium, color palette, and composition
  • Avoid describing copyrighted characters, logos, or trademarked artworks

Practical Tips

  • Mention the medium of the reference such as oil painting, pencil sketch, or digital concept art
  • Include camera motion descriptors like push-in, dolly, or aerial sweep
  • Describe lighting conditions to maintain visual consistency with the reference

Privacy

  • Do not upload personal or sensitive material unless you have permission to use it.

Usage Rights

  • Confirm that you have the rights needed for the inputs and intended use of the result.

Prompt recipes

Copy a structure, then adjust the subject, lighting, camera, and output details for your own result.

Impressionist garden scene

A garden path with blooming flowers on both sides, dappled sunlight through trees, soft brushstroke texture, pastel colors, camera glides slowly forward down the path

Describing brushstroke texture and pastel palette helps convey an impressionist painting style in motion

Film noir street corner

A dark city street corner at night, harsh shadows from a single streetlight, rain-slicked pavement, high-contrast black and white, camera slowly pans from left to right

High-contrast lighting and panning motion capture the dramatic visual style of film noir cinematography

Japanese woodblock wave

A large ocean wave with foam cresting, stylized wave patterns, deep blue and white colors, traditional woodblock print style, camera holds steady while the wave moves

Referencing traditional woodblock print style and stylized patterns helps recreate a specific art historical look

Retro 80s poster aesthetic

A neon grid floor receding into the distance, a glowing sunset horizon with pink and purple gradients, geometric mountains silhouette, camera flies forward over the grid

Neon grid, gradient sunset, and forward motion are signature elements of retro 80s synthwave visuals

Watercolor landscape

Rolling hills with soft color washes, a lone tree on the hillside, sky with light blue and peach tones, visible watercolor texture, camera slowly pans across the landscape

Describing color washes and watercolor texture conveys the reference medium while adding subtle motion

Limitations to know before generating

  • The tool generates clips from text descriptions; it does not accept image uploads for this route
  • Output quality depends on how clearly you describe the reference visual style and composition
  • Complex or highly specific reference styles may need multiple generation attempts
  • Generated clips are interpretations of your description, not exact reproductions of source images
  • Avoid describing copyrighted artworks, characters, or trademarked designs in detail
