Which AI tool converts text to video?
Sora (by OpenAI), Runway, and Veo (by Google) are video generators, but they are not yet accessible to the public. However, there are several AI tools - including Kapwing - which generate a video from a text prompt by synthesizing a voiceover layer and pulling videos from across the internet to match the timing of the AI voice. This enables you to convert an existing text document, like a script, into a video automatically. Kapwing's AI Video Generator is free to try.
How can I convert a script into video using AI?
There are a number of tools that convert text into professional videos. Kapwing is able to transform Word, PDF, and other text documents into short video summaries that include clips, music, transitions, and subtitles. Other tools like RunwayML and Synthesia can generate visual-to-video footage with a text prompt and a reference image or human-like AI avatars.
What is the best text to video converter?
