# Text to Video

> Generate video clips from text prompts.

DeepInfra hosts text-to-video models that generate short video clips from a text description. Browse [all text-to-video models](https://deepinfra.com/models/text-to-video).

## Endpoint

```
POST https://api.deepinfra.com/v1/inference/{model_name}
```

## Example

<CodeGroup>
  ```python Python theme={null}
  import requests

  DEEPINFRA_TOKEN = "$DEEPINFRA_TOKEN"
  MODEL = "Wan-AI/Wan2.1-T2V-14B"

  response = requests.post(
      f"https://api.deepinfra.com/v1/inference/{MODEL}",
      headers={
          "Authorization": f"Bearer {DEEPINFRA_TOKEN}",
          "Content-Type": "application/json",
      },
      json={
          "prompt": "A serene mountain lake at sunrise, with mist rising from the water and pine trees reflected on the surface.",
      },
  )

  result = response.json()
  # result["video"] contains the URL to the generated video
  print(result["video"])
  ```

  ```bash cURL theme={null}
  curl -X POST \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $DEEPINFRA_TOKEN" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{"prompt": "A serene mountain lake at sunrise, with mist rising from the water and pine trees reflected on the surface."}' \
    'https://api.deepinfra.com/v1/inference/Wan-AI/Wan2.1-T2V-14B'
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Tips for good prompts

* Be descriptive about the scene, lighting, and motion
* Specify the camera movement if relevant (e.g. "slow pan", "aerial shot", "close-up")
* Keep prompts focused — overly complex prompts can produce inconsistent results
* Use the [negative prompt](https://deepinfra.com/models/text-to-video) parameter (if supported) to exclude unwanted elements

## Async inference

Video generation is compute-intensive and may take longer than text inference. Consider using [webhooks](/account/webhooks) to receive the result asynchronously rather than polling.
