Create a video

Choose a video type

Pick the production path that matches the source material and the result you want, rather than choosing by the underlying rendering technology.

Read before this

Read these direct prerequisites in order. Each guide lists any earlier context it assumes.

  1. 1Create your first videoGo from prompt and sources to a reviewable first video.

Common video types

  • AI Motion Graphics: narrated explainers built from designed scenes and motion.
  • Avatar: presenter-led videos using a selected or custom face and voice.
  • Screencast: turns a product recording into a structured, polished walkthrough.
  • Screencast + Avatar: combines product footage with a presenter.

Match the type to the source

Choose motion graphics for concepts, announcements, and stories that do not depend on a recorded interface. Choose a screencast path when showing the exact product interaction is the point. Choose an avatar when a visible presenter adds trust, instruction, or personality.

Availability can vary

The video types shown in Studio can depend on the entry point, account, and source material. Use the choices visible in your pre-start flow as the current source of truth. Older articles may use production labels that are no longer choices in Studio.

Before generating

  • Confirm the type matches the desired output.
  • Attach any recording, presenter image, or brand source required by that type.
  • Check the script and scene plan in PRO for high-stakes work.
  • Review the displayed credit estimate and model choice before proceeding.

A safe first pass

  1. Open Home and add the prompt and approved sources.
  2. Choose the relevant creation setting and leave unrelated controls at their defaults.
  3. Review the mode, duration, aspect ratio, voice, models, and displayed credit estimate.
  4. Create a representative first version and verify the setting had the intended visible effect.

If the result is not available

If the named choice is missing or disabled, follow the plan message and the current options shown in Studio. Return to Home, reopen the source, or select a compatible video type; contact Support only when an expected eligible control remains unavailable.
