Video Generation
Summary: XBRUSH's video generation creates a video from a text prompt, optionally guided by reference images, videos, or audio. Select an AI engine, set the aspect ratio, length, and resolution, describe the motion with a prompt, and a video is automatically generated.
What is Video Generation?
Video generation is XBRUSH's feature that uses an AI engine to create a video with natural motion from a text prompt and, optionally, reference images. With the default engine (Seedance 2.5) you can generate a video even without an image. The credit cost depends on the engine and settings (resolution, length, etc.) and is shown on the Generate button.
Video Generation Overview
Video › Generate in the Direct panel. Sub-tabs: Generate · LARP · AI Edit · Upscale. The prompt line shows an example ("e.g. @Image 1 and @Image 2 are taking a selfie together"), followed by the option chips Seedance 2.5 · Reference images 0/30 · Reference videos 0/10 · Reference audio 0/10 · 16:9 · 720p · 5s · Draft 480p (off) · Audio (on) · Settings, and the Generate button with its credit cost.
- In the Workspace input box, switch to Direct mode, select the Video tab, and open the Generate sub-tab. (Other sub-tabs: LARP, AI Edit, and Upscale.)
- You can select the AI engine used to generate the video. Seedance 2.5 is used by default.
- A start image is not required with the default engine — leave the reference images empty and the video is generated from the prompt alone.
- You can add up to 30 Reference images, 10 Reference videos, and 10 Reference audio files.
- Choose the aspect ratio (Auto, 21:9, 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4, 9:16; default 16:9) and the resolution (480p / 720p / 1080p; default 720p) from their chips.
- Length: the 5s chip sets the video length. The default is 5 seconds; the available range depends on the engine.
- Draft 480p generates a quick low-resolution draft. It is off by default.
- Audio (on by default) creates audio along with the video. Background music is left out by default because it may be blocked by copyright checks; in Chat mode you can ask the agent to add it (e.g. "add background music too").
- Settings holds additional video options.
- You can add a text prompt to describe the motion.
- With the default settings (Seedance 2.5 · 16:9 · 720p · 5 seconds · audio on), the Generate button shows about ◆ 454. The exact cost changes with the engine and settings.
Generate a Video from a Generated Image
Hover over a generated image, click its ⋮, and choose Use › Animate to turn it into a video. The image detail view has the same Animate button.
- Add an image and click the Run button.
- The video generates immediately without a prompt, producing a 5-second video by default.
- Processing time depends on the engine and settings; when it is done, a result card appears in the session feed.
Generate a Video from an Uploaded Image
- Add an image with + Reference images (optional), adjust the settings, and click the Generate button.
- The default video length is 5 seconds.
- Processing time depends on the engine and settings; when it is done, a result card appears in the session feed.

Writing a Prompt
- You can enter text to describe the motion of the image for video generation.
- When you attach reference files, refer to them in the prompt with @: attached files are numbered in the order you added them, such as @Image 1 and @Image 2. For example, "@Image 1 and @Image 2 are taking a selfie together" tells the engine which reference plays which role. This is especially useful when you combine several references.
Generation Settings
- Set the aspect ratio, video length, resolution, Draft 480p, and Audio from the option chips; more options are under Settings. The available options vary by engine.
