Make your first video

02 · Planning

Storyboard & review

Storyboard shows the direction and individual frames of your video before and during the build.

• Start with a written brief and optional reference assets. You can also choose Write the plan myself.
• Use Storyboard / Preview in the top bar to move between the plan and the editing workspace.
• Review each frame’s picture and status. A Conti is a planning reference; it may be a sketch or an early scene preview.
• Add a comment to a frame and choose Send to Assistant to request a revision.
• Use Open in editor on a built frame to inspect that scene in Preview.
• Use Draw the conti on an unbuilt frame to sketch the layout you want.

03 · Editing

Timeline & preview

Preview is the editing workspace: assets, the video canvas, the timeline, and controls for the selected object.

• Upload source footage, images, audio, or fonts in Assets, then place media on the timeline.
• Play or scrub the timeline to review how footage, captions, audio, and graphics work together.
• Select an editable clip or object to inspect its properties. Move or trim timed clips to change their placement and duration.
• Some objects span the whole composition and have locked timeline rows; change those objects through their properties or the Assistant.
• For a specific change, select the relevant object or clip and send its context to the Assistant.

04 · AI editing

Edit with the Assistant

Describe the result you want in chat, then refine the same project with follow-up instructions.

1. 1

   Give a concrete instruction

   For example: “Make this a 30-second vertical edit. Keep the answer, cut the pauses, and add a title at the start.”

2. 2

   Provide the right context

   Attach reference files, select the relevant timeline object, or mark the area of the picture you want changed.

3. 3

   Review and follow up

   Watch the updated preview and ask for another adjustment. A request may involve several AI steps, each contributing to credit usage.

05 · Visual feedback

Draw an instruction

Use Annotate to show the Assistant exactly which part of the picture needs attention.

1. 1

   Choose the moment

   In Preview, seek to the moment you want to change, then turn on Annotate in the top bar.

2. 2

   Mark the picture

   Draw on the frame and add a short instruction. You can mark more than one moment before sending.

3. 3

   Send to Agent

   The Assistant receives the marked picture, the original picture, and your instruction. Timeline dots let you return to the moments you marked.

06 · Media

Assets & attachments

Files attached in the Assistant are uploaded into the project’s Assets library, where the edit can use them.

• Use the paperclip in chat to pick files, drop files into the Assistant drawer, or paste an image from the clipboard.
• Drag an existing project file from Assets into chat to reference it without uploading a second copy.
• Add an instruction with your attachments so the Assistant knows whether to use them as footage, reference images, audio, or fonts.
• Removing an attachment chip from chat keeps the uploaded file in the project.
• Supported video uploads: MP4, WebM, and MOV. Audio: MP3, WAV, OGG, M4A, and AAC. Images include JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP, AVIF, and SVG; supported font files can also be uploaded.

07 · Captions

Generate captions

Create captions directly in the editor, without sending a chat request. The result is an editable caption track on the timeline.

1. 1

   Open Create captions from audio

   Upload a video or audio file to the project, then open the caption-generation dialog from the timeline toolbar.

2. 2

   Choose the source and length

   Select the source take. Choose Sentence, Standard, Short, or Word by word for caption length. The spoken language is detected automatically.

3. 3

   Choose a range

   Use Entire take, In to Out, Selected clip, or Custom range. In to Out and Selected clip need the matching source clip on the timeline; custom start and end values are in source seconds.

4. 4

   Create and review

   Choose Create captions. When generation finishes, inspect the caption track, correct the text, and adjust its appearance in the editor.

08 · Captions

Caption styling

Select the generated caption track to change its design, or describe a treatment to the Assistant.

• Adjust the caption appearance in the editor’s caption design controls.
• Preview readability over both bright and dark parts of your footage.
• Ask the Assistant for animated captions, word emphasis, or a different layout.
• Review timing and line breaks after changing the caption length or design.

09 · Captions

Translate captions with the Assistant

Ask the Assistant to translate the project’s captions and name the target language.

10 · Delivery

Render your video

Render the current composition after reviewing its timing, audio, captions, and dimensions.

1. 1

   Review the composition

   Preview the complete video and check its aspect ratio and duration. If you opened one storyboard frame in the editor, return to the full project before rendering the complete video.

2. 2

   Start a render

   Use the editor’s render controls and choose the available output settings. The render queue shows progress and completion.

3. 3

   Download the result

   Wait for the render to finish, then download the completed video. Rendering uses credits for compute time; downloading an existing result does not start a new render.

11 · Workspace

Projects & storage

Projects holds your project list and opens the editor on the work you choose.

• Search by project name, sort by last edited, creation date, or name, and switch between grid and list views.
• Pin projects for quick access. Rename or delete a project from its menu.
• Without signing in, the project list is saved on this device. Sign in to sync project records across devices.
• Project media, scenes, and plans used by the editor are stored in the project workspace on the server.
• Keep your original source files and download finished videos you want to retain.

12 · Captions

Languages

Caption generation detects the source language automatically. For translation, tell the Assistant which target language you want.

13 · Credits

Credits & billing

One credit balance covers caption transcription, AI editing, generated media, and video rendering.

• New accounts receive 30 one-time free credits. These credits do not renew or expire.
• Starter includes 100 credits for $10/month, Pro 350 for $30/month, and Studio 1,200 for $100/month. Prices are in USD before applicable tax and currency conversion.
• Monthly credits reset each billing cycle and do not roll over. Plans differ by allowance and use the same editor and tools.
• AI requests are charged for model usage. Longer conversations, extra revisions, and generated images, audio, or video can use more credits.
• Video rendering is charged by render compute time, rather than the finished video’s duration alone.
• Manual editing and preview playback do not consume credits. A stopped AI request can still incur charges for work already performed.
