Text to Video
Turn Nano Banana Prompts Into Video
Nano Banana creates and edits images—it does not generate video. Start with a written prompt, or optionally add an image, then choose a dedicated video model to create a short clip. No starting image is required.
Choose Veo 3.1, Seedance 2.0, Seedance 1.5 Pro, or Grok Imagine Video. Nano Banana itself only creates and edits images; it does not generate video.

Start From a Script or Caption

How It Works
Create Text to Video in Four Steps
Go from prompt to final clip with a workflow built for fast video creation, testing, and iteration.
01
Write Your Prompt
Describe the subject, action, camera feel, and style. More specific prompts give the selected video model clearer direction.
02
Choose a Video Model
Choose Veo 3.1, Seedance 2.0, Seedance 1.5 Pro, or Grok Imagine Video. Nano Banana creates images; it is not the model generating the video.
03
Adjust Video Settings
Adjust the aspect ratio and any settings available for the selected model. A reference image is optional for this text to video workflow.
04
Generate and Iterate
Create the clip, review the result, then improve it with prompt edits or a different model until the video is ready to use.
