# Your First AI Video

The [Freepik **AI Video Generator**](https://www.freepik.com/ai/video-generator) lets you **create videos** from a **text prompt** or an **image**. The tool handles **scenes**, **transitions**, and animation automatically.

There are a few ways to start: 

- Select the AI Video Generator from the [AI Suite homepage](https://www.freepik.com/ai).
- Directly from a generated image by selecting **Create video**.
- Or choose the **Reuse** image as a video.

## Generate Videos Using Text Prompts

An easy way to make AI videos is by **writing a short prompt**. The AI Video Generator turns it into an animated video, scene by scene.

Once the video is ready, you'll be able to preview it, download it, or make quick adjustments.

## Generate Videos Using Images

If you already have a design or style in mind, use images to create AI videos with consistent results. Here's how:

<StepGuide steps={[
  {
    title: 'Open the <a1>AI Video Generator</a1>.',
    titleLinks: {
      a1: 'https://www.freepik.com/pikaso/ai-video-generator',
    }
  },
  {
    title: 'Switch to the Image tab, located next to the prompt input.'
  },
  {
    title: 'Upload your image or choose one from your recent creations.'
  },
  {
    title: 'Depending on the selected mode, you can set a start image, end image, or add references to guide the style and structure.'
  },
  {
    title: 'Click Generate video to begin.'
  },
]} />

Use this method to create AI videos from your images. It gives you more control over the visual style and is useful for product shots, UI mockups, or designs that need consistency.

Once done, you can preview, download, or edit the video further.

## AI Video Templates

The **AI Video Generator** includes a selection of **video templates** to help you start quickly, apply preset styles, and skip manual setup.
