Text to video AI tools like Runway let you turn a written prompt into generated video footage in minutes. The challenge is getting results that look intentional, not random. On aidowith.me, the Reels & Short Videos route includes 10 steps for creating AI-generated videos from text prompts using Runway and similar tools. You'll write a scene description, set camera movement and style parameters, generate multiple takes, pick the best clips, and edit them into a finished video. The route covers prompt structure for consistent results: how to specify lighting, camera angle, subject motion, and visual style so the output matches what you pictured. You'll also handle common problems like flickering, morphing faces, and inconsistent lighting between shots. The whole process takes about 45 minutes, and you'll finish with a polished short video ready for social media or a presentation.
