How It Works
Navigate to Topic to Video
To start, head to the Topic to Video feature. You can access it by typing your video prompt directly into the text input bar at the top of the dashboard.
Prompt Your Video and Customize
Enter your video concept with as much detail as possible. (See examples above)
Customize Video
For more customization options, click the options menu on the right side of the input bar. Adjust the video's duration and objective to align with your project goals.
Select a Template
After specifying your video goal, relevant templates will appear. Choose the one that best matches your project. Templates are fully customizable, so you can refine them even after the video is generated.
Select Video Language
Choose the language for your video. AI Studios supports over 80 languages.
Customize Your Script
Add extra prompts to guide Topic-to-Video with any specific details you'd like included in the generated script.
Objective: Clearly define the goal of your video (e.g., teach a skill, explain a concept, or share a story).
Audience: Identify who the video is intended for (e.g., beginners, professionals, Gen Z, etc.).
Tone: Describe the desired style or mood of the script (e.g., informative, humorous, formal). You can also specify what to avoid (e.g., no casual language).
Speed: Set the preferred reading speed for the script using a scale (e.g., 0.8 for slower pacing, 1.0 for normal, 1.2 for faster delivery).
Image and Video Style
Choose how AI Studios sources images and videos for your project:
Auto: AI Studios selects images automatically.
Upload: Use your own uploaded images.
Search: AI Studios searches the web for relevant media.
Free Stock: Access Pixabay's free media library.
Premium Stock: Use Shutterstock's premium stock media.
Generative: AI Studios creates unique images tailored to your video
Click Next & Preview the Generated Draft
Review the video that was created using your selected script and image options.
Change Options: If the video doesn’t match what you had in mind, go back to the options menu to update the images or script prompt.
Editor: If only small changes are needed, you can make edits directly in the video editor without regenerating the entire video.
Click Export
When you’re ready, click “Export” to generate the final video. The script will be synthesized with AI voice narration and an AI avatar presenter to create the complete video.
Continue Editing or Generate Your Video
After generation, you can either export the video immediately or continue editing. Adjust the script, swap images, and modify avatars in the video editor to finalize your project.
