FAQ

What's the difference between AI-generated script and Use my own script?
With AI-generated script, AI writes a new script for video from your text and splits it into scenes. With Use my own script, your text is not rewritten, and each paragraph becomes a scene.

How long can my script be?
Up to 15,000 characters. A script needs at least 100 characters.

Can I edit the scenes and the script?
Yes. You can edit each scene in the Check Script step, and you can change the media and text of each scene in the preview.

I chose AI Videos. Why do I only see an image in the preview?
The AI video is created when you start exporting. The preview shows the starting image for each scene, and you can see the motion in the finished video.

Why is my video taking a long time to generate?
Generation time depends on the script length, the number of scenes, and the media type. Videos with AI video take longer because the AI video is made during export.

Where did the dashboard text box for Script to Video go?
The text box at the top of the dashboard now starts Video Agent. To use Script to Video, open it from Apps.
