No Dialogue HQ Videos

Want your character to just do the thing, with no voiceover and no dialogue? You can make any HQ video silent, or mix silent and spoken scenes inside a single video.

The quick version

1. Open your video in the editor.
2. Tap Script.
3. Find the clip you want silent.
4. Tap the × on its dialogue line.
5. Tap the check mark to save.
6. Generate the video.

The clip plays silent. The actions in the Script still drive what your character does.

How it works

Each clip in the Script has two kinds of lines:

• Dialogue — what your character says
• Actions — what your character does and how the camera moves

Both are written for you when you build your video. They work independently:

• Remove the dialogue → the clip plays silent.
• Keep the actions → your character still moves through the clip the way you described.

The actions give your character direction, so keep them in place. You can always edit them to refine what your character does.

Add ambient sound if you want it

A clip with no dialogue plays without a voiceover. If you want ambient sound (rain on a window, café chatter, soft music), describe it in your prompt in Imagine or in the clip's actions. Sound effects show up in the Script as SFX lines.

Examples of ambient sound in a prompt:

• "Carl sips his coffee while soft rain patters on the window outside."
• "Carl walks through the busy market, vendors calling out and city traffic in the background."
• "Carl leans back at the bar, soft lounge music playing under the clink of glasses."

Mix silent and spoken scenes in the same video

Each clip in your video is independent. You can:

• Keep dialogue on Clip 1, go silent on Clip 2, more dialogue on Clip 3.
• Open with a silent moment, end with a voiceover.
• Make the whole video silent.
• Whatever the story calls for.

Remove the dialogue on each clip you want silent, save, and generate.

When to go silent

Silent scenes work well for:

• Establishing shots — a slow camera move across a setting before your character speaks.
• Reaction beats — a look, a gesture, a held expression that's stronger without words.
• Mood pieces — atmosphere-driven scenes where the visuals carry everything.
• Soundtrack-led videos — if you're planning to add music later and don't want a voiceover competing.
• Just because — some videos land harder without speech.

Examples for you to try

Use one of these in your prompt in Imagine. Swap in your character's name (or just describe what's happening), and leave out dialogue.

Quiet moment:

[Your character] walks slowly across an empty room, pauses at the window, looks out at the rain.

Reaction beat:

[Your character] reads the letter, jaw tightens, eyes drop to the floor.

Mood piece with ambient sound:

[Your character] sips coffee at a quiet café, soft rain patters on the window outside, distant chatter in the background.

Establishing shot:

Wide view of a sunlit kitchen — [Your character] steps in, sets down a grocery bag, glances around.

Drop any of these into your prompt, leave out dialogue, and generate.
