### Overview

Video generation in Chat Video Pro supports multiple modes and models, each optimized for different creative needs:

* **Text-to-Video** - Create videos from text descriptions
* **Image-to-Video** - Animate still images into motion
* **Transition Mode** - Create smooth transitions between two keyframes
* **Reference Mode** - Generate videos with consistent characters using multiple reference images

### Available Features

#### [Supported Video Models](https://docs.chatvideopro.com/features/video-generation/supported-video-models)

#### [Text-to-Video](https://docs.chatvideopro.com/features/video-generation/text-to-video)

Create videos from scratch using text prompts. Learn how to write effective prompts, configure settings, and generate cinematic videos with AI.

#### [Image-to-Video](https://docs.chatvideopro.com/features/video-generation/image-to-video)

Animate still images into motion. Upload an image and describe the movement you want to see. Perfect for bringing static artwork, photos, or designs to life.

#### [Transition Mode](https://docs.chatvideopro.com/features/video-generation/transition-mode)

Create smooth cinematic transitions between two keyframes. Upload a start and end image, and AI generates the motion between them. Ideal for scene transitions, morphing effects, and creative edits.

#### [Reference Mode](https://docs.chatvideopro.com/features/video-generation/reference-mode)

Generate videos with consistent characters using 2-7 reference images. Perfect for maintaining character appearance across multiple shots, creating talking head videos, or ensuring visual consistency.
