In this help doc

Video Agent can turn a document, a web page, or a script you already wrote into a narrated video. This doc shows how to add each kind of input and how the agent uses it.

Make a video from a document

To use a document:

  1. Click + in the chat box and choose your file. You can also drag the file onto the page.

  2. Type what you want, for example “Make a short video from this document”, and click the arrow button (Send).

  3. The agent asks “How should I use this document?” Choose Use pages as backgrounds or Extract the content.

The two choices work like this:

  • Use pages as backgrounds: each document page becomes the scene background, and the narration follows the page.

  • Extract the content: the agent summarizes the document into new scenes with generated images and a template.

Choosing Use pages as backgrounds or Extract the content

Note: You can change this later with Document use in the options above the outline. Using pages as backgrounds sets the ratio to 16:9.

Make a video from a web page

To use a link:

  1. Paste the web page address (URL) into the chat box. Send only the link.

  2. Click the arrow button. The agent reads the page and writes an outline from it.

💡 Tip: A YouTube link works differently. If you send only the link, the agent asks what to do and you can choose Download or AI dubbing. If you add words such as “Dub this video”, the tool opens right away. See Download or Dub a YouTube Video with Video Agent.

Make a video from your own script

To use your script as the narration:

  1. Paste your script into the chat box and send it.

  2. The agent treats long text as a script and shows “I will read this text as the narration script.”

  3. Check the options and click Make it like this. The agent uses your text as the narration and builds the scenes around it.

Note: Video Agent treats your text as a script when it is 300 characters or longer, has two or more paragraphs, or has four or more sentences. Shorter text is treated as a topic.
