Text-to-video extends the diffusion paradigm to a temporal dimension. The hard problems are **temporal consistency** (objects should persist plausibly frame-to-frame, physics should look real), **controllability** (camera motion, character identity, scene layout), and **compute cost** (video has roughly 24–60× more tokens than a single image per second of output). OpenAI's Sora, Google Veo, Runway Gen-4, Kuaishou Kling, and MiniMax Hailuo each made visible progress on all three during 2024–2026.
Current production sweet spot is 5–10 second clips at 720p–1080p, with prompt-plus-image seeding ("use this frame as shot 1") now standard. Longer narrative video still requires stitching clips with editorial craft — fully autonomous generation of a 2-minute branded spot is not yet a solved problem despite the demo reels.
APAC enterprise traction is strongest in e-commerce (product-in-use clips without a shoot), entertainment (storyboard animatics), and training content localisation. The legal surface is wider than text-to-image: on top of training-data questions, video generation raises deepfake, likeness-rights, and accessibility captioning obligations that vary by jurisdiction.
