About text to video on Cicadas

Make a short landscape video from one English prompt with AI text to video. Describe a single continuous shot, then choose Kling 3.0 Pro for a silent five-second MP4 or Veo 3.1 Fast for a six-second 720p MP4 with generated audio. You see the exact credit quote (140 or 225 credits) before you generate, and the finished text-to-video clip stays private in My videos.

Give the scene a sound.

A wide desert shot with generated sound. The recorded audio has footstep-like taps and a low thump; it does not establish exact environmental sound control.

Why use Cicadas for text to video

Text to video with or without sound

Kling 3.0 Pro makes a five-second, 16:9 silent MP4 for 140 credits. Veo 3.1 Fast makes a six-second, 720p, 16:9 MP4 with generated audio for 225 credits. Length and format are fixed for each model.

Turn one prompt into a single-shot video

In English, name the subject, the setting, one main action and the camera move. The sample videos are single continuous shots; a new prompt can still come out with different composition, motion or timing.

Pay once and keep your AI video private

The quoted credits are charged once. If generation fails or the MP4 fails our file check, the credits come back. A finished video you don't like is still charged, and it stays private in My videos.

  • “A futuristic city street at golden hour, flying cars passing above pedestrians, slow forward camera move, one continuous take, no text or logos.”

Tested on Cicadas · reviewed 2026-09-30

Three clips made on Cicadas: moonrise and a harbor at dawn with Kling 3.0 Pro (5 seconds, 16:9, silent) and desert-sound with Veo 3.1 Fast (6 seconds, 720p, 16:9, generated audio). Each shows its request ID and date. None guarantees how closely a new prompt is followed, or its anatomy and timing.
