In order to get started, type or paste in your idea in the text box on the Dashboard. You can write ideas (e.g. 'A story about a ship captain stranded at sea') or paste in whole scripts including stage directions (e.g. '[Scene 1: the Captain's quarters] Captain: We're in a real pickle. First mate [sardonically]: You don't say...').
You can also start with an audio or video file to provide the narration and audio track for your video by clicking on the plus button in the creation text box and selecting the file type you'd like to start with. Your audio or video file must include narration (i.e. people speaking).
If you select 'Video', shots from your video file will be interspersed with generated images and video to create your final video.
Once you've written your idea or or uploaded your file, and set your animation style, aspect ratio and desired length, click the green arrow button to create and/or format your script:
If you're using the old creation experience, follow the directions below:
If you already have a script written, try clicking 'B-Roll for a script' and pasting your script in.
If you have an idea for a video and would like assistance creating a script, try clicking 'start with an idea'.
If you have an audio or video clip recording of the lesson already and would like to add ai-generated videos to it, try clicking 'B-Roll for an Audio Clip' or 'B-Roll for a Video Clip'
