Start creating a video

Start with a prompt, a screenplay, a script, or narrated audio or video.

Updated over a week ago

You can start creating a video in a few different ways, depending on what you have:

Prompt Box: Start with an idea

You can start by entering a simple idea in the prompt box. Hypernatural will use it to generate a script for you.

You can also use @ mentions to bring in specific elements like products, characters, or styles directly into your video.

  1. Click the @ button in the prompt box or type @

  2. Select from your saved products, characters, or styles

  3. This helps keep visuals consistent and aligned with what you want

A story about a ship captain stranded at sea using @StormyOceanStyle and featuring @CaptainRoe

ℹ️ If you have any specific instructions (e.g., only a narrator, no narrator, or names for your characters), include them in your prompt.

Prompt Box: Start with a screenplay

You can also paste a screenplay directly into the prompt box. This is best when you already have dialogue written and want your characters to speak.

You can include:

  • Character lines (dialogue)

  • Optional narrator lines

  • Scene descriptions (to guide visuals)

You can also use @ mentions here to control consistency across scenes, or you can select your characters or styles in the next step.

Example (screenplay):

[Scene: The Captain’s quarters, lantern light, rain tapping the windows, in @CinematicStormStyle]
Narrator: The storm had been chasing them for days.
@CaptainRoe: We’re running out of supplies.
First Mate: Then we don’t have time to waste.

ℹ️ Characters with dialogue will be cast and voiced.

Voiceover: Paste a script (narrator-only)

Click the + icon in the prompt box and select Voiceover.

Use this option when:

  • Your video has only a narrator

  • You have an exact script you want read out loud

  • You don’t want the script interpreted as dialogue

Important: The Voiceover option is a true voiceover track—everything you paste will be read by the narrator. That means you should not include scene headers, stage directions, or character labels unless you want the narrator to say them out loud.

Example (recommended):

I used to think I needed the perfect idea to start. But the truth is, momentum comes first. So today, I’m making something small—and finishing it.

Example (avoid):

[Scene 1: A stormy deck at sea] Narrator: The storm had pushed the crew to their limits. @CinematicStormStyle

Because the narrator will literally read: “Scene one: a stormy deck at sea…” or "@CinematicStormStyle"

✅ Best for explainers and any narrator-only video where you want word-for-word reading.

Narrated Audio or Video: Upload an audio or video file

Click the + icon in the prompt box and upload an audio or video file.

  • The uploaded audio becomes the narration

  • The file must include spoken voice

  • If you upload a video, shots will be blended with AI-generated visuals

Generate your video

Once you’ve:

  1. Entered your idea or script

  2. (Optional) Added @ mentions for products, characters, or styles

  3. (Optional) Selected the aspect ratio and video length

Click the green arrow to generate and format your script.

You can then:

  • Edit or delete text

  • Request broader changes using the Change script… prompt

When you’re ready, click Make video to generate your video.

You’ll see the total credit cost before generating, based on what’s included in your video.
