Review notes

  • Source article did not include exact in-product UI labels or navigation steps, so the draft stays model-selection focused and avoids inventing interface details.
  • The source content is descriptive rather than procedural; steps were adapted into a task-first decision workflow to meet the how-to template.
  • Plan limits are mentioned only as a general credit check because the source and metadata reference AI credits but do not specify exact limits or eligibility.
  • No explicit permissions caveats were provided in the source; none were added beyond the generic credit note.

Summary

Choose the AI model that best matches your text-to-video goal. Seedance Pro is focused on high-quality visuals and cinematic control. Veo 3 adds native audio generation, including sound effects, ambient noise, and human dialogue.

Before you start

  • Open Powtoon and go to the Text to Video workflow.
  • Make sure you know whether your project needs visual control, audio generation, or both.
  • Check your available AI credits before generating, if your plan uses credits.

Steps

  1. Review your project goal.
    • Choose Seedance Pro if your priority is visual realism, motion quality, camera control, or cinematic style.
    • Choose Veo 3 if your priority is synchronized audio, spoken dialogue, or soundscapes.
  1. Compare the model strengths against your prompt.
    • Use Seedance Pro for detailed visual scenes, realistic movement, and complex camera direction.
    • Use Veo 3 for prompts that need audio to be part of the generated result.
  1. Select the model in Text to Video.
    • Pick Seedance Pro for visuals-first output.
    • Pick Veo 3 for video generation with native audio support.
  1. Write your prompt based on the model you selected.
    • Keep visual instructions clear when using Seedance Pro.
    • Include audio cues and dialogue needs when using Veo 3.
  1. Generate the video and review the result.
    • Check whether the visuals, motion, and audio match your goal.
    • If needed, revise the prompt and generate again.

What happens next

Powtoon generates the video based on the model you selected. Seedance Pro returns a visuals-focused result, while Veo 3 can return video with synchronized audio. If the first result does not match your goal, adjust the prompt or switch models and try again.
