Your First Video

This guide walks you through creating a complete AI-generated video from scratch.

1. Choose or create a project

If you don’t have a project yet, create one first. Each project has a flow that defines its video generation workflow.

2. Start a new video run

  1. Open your project from the dashboard
  2. Click Create Video
  3. The flow runner launches with your project’s workflow

3. Work through the flow

The flow runner presents steps one at a time. There are two types of steps:

Interactive steps

These require your input:
  • Text Input — Type your video topic or concept
  • Media Upload — Upload images or videos
  • Text Editor — Edit generated text
  • Review — Preview and approve/regenerate media
  • Auto Captions — Configure caption styling
  • Voiceover — Select a voice and preview audio
  • Background Audio — Search and select background music

Background steps

These run automatically without your input:
  • Script generation
  • Image generation
  • Video generation
  • AI transforms
Background steps show a loading spinner. Wait for them to complete before moving to the next interactive step.

4. Review your results

At each Review step, you can:
  • Preview the generated image or video
  • Approve to continue to the next step
  • Regenerate to try again with the same or different settings

5. Export

On the final Approve & Export step:
  1. Review the assembled video
  2. Click Export to render
  3. Download the MP4 or publish directly to TikTok or YouTube

Tips for better results

  • Write clear, specific prompts for your video topic
  • Use a composable multi-shot workflow (Parse Scenes → Split → Image Gen → Video Gen → Collect) for longer, more structured videos
  • Experiment with different AI models — each has different strengths
  • Check model costs to optimize your credit usage
