Creating a New Video

Customize Options

Step 3: Select Visual Parameters

In the step, you can choose between different visual elements for your video:
  • Import Images (Optional):
    • You can import images to enhance your video by pasting a URL or uploading custom images. To retrieve media directly from a URL, click on "Get Media From URL" or simply drag and drop images into the upload box.
  • Choose Media Type:
    • Select the type of media that will be used to illustrate the video. Choose from different options like "Scraped media" from the article link or “Moving AI Images” to guide the AI in using specific footage or assets.
  • Choose Your Screen Ratio:
    • Adjust the aspect ratio of your video to match your target platform. Options include formats such as 9:16, ideal for mobile and social media platforms.
  • Prevent Content Summarization:
    • Toggle this option to prevent the AI from summarizing content if it exceeds 500 characters. By default, content is automatically summarized if longer than this limit.
