Step 3: Create New Video - Idea Mode

Now let's create your video!

3-1. Select Idea Mode

Click the "Idea" card on the dashboard.

3-2. Enter Your Idea

Enter your idea for the video. One line is enough!

Good idea examples:

• •"5 principles of stock investing for beginners"
• •"3 habits to do right after waking up"
• •"Personality differences between dogs and cats"
• •"How to boost productivity when working from home"

"

💡 Tip: Including specific numbers helps AI generate more structured scripts. "5 investment tips" is better than just "investment tips".

3-3. Video Settings

After entering your idea, you can adjust these settings:

Basic Settings

TTS (Voice) Settings

"

🎧 Click the play button next to each voice to preview.

Subtitle Settings

3-4. Generate Script

Click "Generate Script" and AI will write a professional script based on your idea.

Usually takes about 10-20 seconds.

3-5. Review and Edit Script

Review the generated script.

If you need to edit:

1. •Click the script area to enter edit mode
2. •Modify as needed
3. •Click "Regenerate" if not satisfied

"

💡 Tip: 70-80% of AI-generated scripts can be used as-is, but it's good to manually edit brand names or specific expressions.

---

Step 4: Media Search and Review

Once the script is ready, click "Search Media".

4-1. AI Media Search

AI automatically searches for images and videos matching each sentence.

During this process:

1. •Searches related media from Pixabay, Pexels
2. •Vision AI verifies content match
3. •Auto-researches if unsuitable
4. •AI Image Generation: If no suitable image is found in stock media, AI generates custom images optimized for your content

"

🚀 Coming Soon: AI video generation is also in the works. Soon you'll be able to generate not just images, but videos with AI!

4-2. Media Review Screen

When search completes, you'll see the media review screen.

For each segment (scene):

• •Script Text: Narration for that scene
• •Selected Media: Image or video chosen by AI
• •Vision AI Reasoning: Why this media was selected

4-3. Modifying Media

If you don't like certain media:

Option 1: Re-search

• •Click "Re-search" button for that segment
• •AI will find different media

Option 2: Upload your own

• •Click "Upload" button
• •Select image/video from your computer

4-4. Approve All

When all media looks good, click "Approve All".
