Turn scripts, transcripts, and footage into publish-ready videos

Template-driven workflows map a script or transcript into shot-level storyboards, suggested B-roll, aligned captions, and multi-aspect exports so marketing, product and learning teams can produce consistent video at scale.

Pipeline overview

How it works

Use a single input (script, transcript, deck, or raw footage) to generate a scene-level storyboard, voiceover and caption assets. Each scene maps copy to suggested shots, timing windows, and on-screen text so editors and automated renderers produce consistent outputs quickly.

  • Import: upload MP4/MOV/WAV/MP3, PPTX/PDF slides, SRT/VTT, or paste plain-text scripts and transcripts.
  • Template: pick a template (social ad, explainer, tutorial, repackaging) that defines scene count, durations, and aspect presets.
  • Storyboard: auto-generate shot lists, B-roll keywords, and approximate timings for each scene.
  • Captioning: produce aligned SRT/VTT entries and short on-screen text for accessibility and repurposing.
  • Export: render draft previews and export platform-ready assets in common formats and aspect ratios.

Ready-to-run prompt clusters

Prompt templates & examples

Use built-in prompt packs to generate scripts, storyboards and variants. Each prompt is optimized for repeatable outputs and quick manual editing.

Short social ad (15–30s)

Hook–benefit–CTA script with three on-screen text frames and B-roll suggestions.

  • Prompt: “Write a 15s hook–benefit–CTA script for [product], include 3 on-screen text frames, suggest 2 B-roll shots and a closing CTA overlay.”

Explainer demo (60–90s)

Multi-scene demo script with narrator copy, close-ups, and one testimonial line.

  • Prompt: “Create a step-by-step script that shows feature X in 6 scenes; add narrator copy, suggested close-ups, and one testimonial line.”

Long-form to shorts

Extract highlights and vertical crops from longer videos for social repurposing.

  • Prompt: “Scan this 10‑minute transcript, extract 5 shareable highlight clips with suggested captions, suggested thumbnail text, and vertical crop points.”

Storyboard & shot list

Scene-by-scene visuals, camera direction and shot durations for editors.

  • Prompt: “Generate a scene-by-scene storyboard with visuals, camera direction, suggested B-roll keywords, and approximate shot durations.”

What you can import

Source ecosystem

Work with the asset types you already use. The pipeline accepts footage, audio, slides, and text and can pull existing platform outputs for repurposing.

  • User-uploaded assets: raw footage (MP4/MOV), images (PNG/JPG), audio (WAV/MP3).
  • Transcripts and subtitle files: plain-text, SRT, VTT for aligned caption workflows.
  • Slide decks and screen recordings: PPTX, PDF, MP4 for demo and tutorial generation.
  • Cloud sources: connect content stored in S3, Google Drive or Dropbox.
  • Platform inputs: repurpose published YouTube videos and podcast audio via transcript imports.

Consistent output at scale

Brand & quality controls

Apply brand rules across every generated asset: logo placement, typography, color palettes, voice tone and caption style. Save brand kits and lock them to templates so multi-variant campaigns keep a consistent look.

  • Brand kits: logos, safe zones, fonts and color tokens applied at export.
  • Caption styles: control on-screen text length, line breaks and speaker labels.
  • Export presets: save aspect, bitrate and naming conventions for campaigns.

Platform-ready outputs

Export formats & delivery

Generate draft preview links for internal review and export final cuts and caption files for distribution across channels. Presets speed production for common placements.

  • Aspect ratios: 16:9 (landscape), 9:16 (vertical), 1:1 (square) export presets.
  • Captions: aligned SRT/VTT exports for accessibility and repackaging.
  • Draft previews: shareable links for stakeholder review and timestamped comments.

From webinars to bite-sized clips

Repackaging long-form content

Automatically scan transcripts or long videos to surface high-engagement moments, generate captioned short clips, and propose thumbnail and title options tailored to platform conventions.

  • Highlight extraction: find candidate clips based on transcript cues and pause patterns.
  • Crop & variant generation: vertical crops, trimmed intros, and alternative CTAs for A/B tests.
  • Thumbnail pack: suggested text overlays and imagery guidance for each clip.

Review, iterate, fine-tune

Collaboration & editor handoff

Built for review cycles—stakeholders can comment on draft previews, approve scene changes, and export edit-ready files for NLEs so editors can fine-tune final assets.

  • Timestamped feedback on draft previews.
  • Scene-level approval flow for multi-stakeholder review.
  • Export edit-ready project packages that include footage, SRT/VTT and a shot list for manual refinement.

FAQ

What input formats and assets can I use?

You can import raw footage (MP4/MOV), images (PNG/JPG), audio (WAV/MP3), slide decks (PPTX/PDF), transcripts and subtitle files (SRT/VTT), or paste plain text scripts. Cloud sources such as S3, Google Drive and Dropbox are commonly used for asset storage and retrieval.

How do exports work — aspect ratios, captions and edit-ready files?

Choose an export preset (16:9, 9:16, 1:1) to render platform-optimized drafts. Captions are produced as aligned SRT and VTT files that match cut points. For final editing, the pipeline can package footage, shot lists and caption files into an edit-ready bundle for standard NLEs.

Who owns the generated video and how are third‑party asset licenses handled?

You retain control of the assets you upload and the outputs generated in your account. Third-party stock or licensed assets remain subject to their original license terms; the system surfaces license information so you can confirm usage rights before including those clips in exports.

Can the system add accurate captions and support multiple languages?

Yes—caption-first workflows produce SRT/VTT aligned to edit points. The platform supports translation and localization prompts for on-screen text and voiceover scripts; for dubbing or local voice talent, the workflow provides localized script and tone suggestions to guide external recording or automated voices where available.

How do I preserve brand guidelines across generated videos?

Save brand kits with logos, fonts, color palettes and caption styles, then lock those kits to templates. Brand settings apply automatically at render time so every export adheres to your visual and typographic rules.

How does repurposing long-form content into short clips work?

The repackaging workflow analyzes transcripts and timestamps to identify shareable highlights, proposes vertical crops and caption text, and generates multiple short-form variants and thumbnail concepts for A/B testing. You retain control over final clip selection and edits.

What review and collaboration features exist?

Share draft preview links with timecoded commenting, assign scene-level approvals, and iterate on prompts or storyboard elements until stakeholders sign off. Approved scenes can be batched for final rendering.

Can generated videos be imported into standard editors?

Yes—exports can include footage, shot lists, SRT/VTT captions and an edit-ready package designed for import into common non-linear editors so editors can perform final color grading, audio mixing or precision cuts.

What security and storage options are available for uploaded assets?

Assets remain under your account controls and can be stored in connected cloud buckets or the platform’s storage. Access controls, role-based review flows, and export policies let teams manage who can view, edit or download assets. For specific compliance or storage configurations, consult your account representative.

How do I scale templates for campaigns and create multi-variant exports?

Create template-driven pipelines that define scene structure, brand kit and export presets. Use variant generation prompts to produce headline, CTA and trim alternatives, then batch-render multiple variants across aspect ratios to produce AB test files for distribution.
