# Video Nodes

Video Nodes generate short animated clips directly from text prompts and optional reference images.\
They are ideal for creating **cinematic previews**, **marketing videos**, **quick scene animations**, or **visual storytelling elements** within Atlas workflows.

Two nodes are available: a full-featured version and a simplified fast-generation version.

### Text + Image -> Video <a href="#text--image-to-video" id="text--image-to-video"></a>

Generates a video from a **text prompt**, an optional **continuation prompt**, and up to **three reference images**.

* **Continuation Prompt** (optional) — describes how the animation should evolve
* **Reference Images** — up to **3** images to control style, subject, or composition

#### Video Settings <a href="#video-settings" id="video-settings"></a>

* **Duration:** 4, 6, 8, 16, 24, 32, or 40 seconds
* **Resolution:** 720p or 1080p
* **Aspect Ratio:** Landscape or Portrait

#### Output <a href="#output" id="output"></a>

* A rendered video clip in the chosen format

This node is suited for more controlled, style-specific video generation, especially when reference images are important.
