How To Use Instant Video Creator

Instant Video Creator is easy to use. Here’s how to start making your AI-generated videos. For this demonstration, we’ll use a blog post template.

Step 1: Choose Your Template

Video template options: new blog post, FAQ, customer review, blog quote, case study, how to, announcement, or blank.

Before you start creating your video, you’ll need to choose a template to work with.

For the blog post template, you’ll need a URL from the blog post to generate the video’s information automatically. Please note that information is automatically pulled only from the posts written in English.

For all other templates and articles in other languages, you’ll need to add information manually.

To get started, click on the “New Blog Post” template.

Arrow points to the New Blog Post option.

Step 2: Add Your Information

For the blog post video, you’ll want to add your desired URL and then click “next.”

After you add the URL, wait a few moments for the information to generate.

After your upload is complete, Instant Video Creator will display the information pulled from your blog post.

You can “Click to unmute” to listen to the video and see the end result.

If you are happy with the video, you can leave the content as is, or you can manually change the generated information to customize your video.

There are a few ways to customize your video, and the next few steps will show you how to do that.

Step 4: Change the Face, Voice, Style, and Music of Your Video

In the left sidebar of Instant Video Creator, you can change the avatar, voice, style, and music in the video. We will demonstrate how to change the video content in Step 5.

To change the visuals, style, and music, click any icon on the left sidebar.

Arrow points to the face, voice, style, and music buttons.

Clicking on each icon will bring up a prompt that allows you to change the face, voice, style, and music bed.

When selecting your avatar, you can choose from the provided avatars, upload your own or disable it.

To change the voiceover, click on the voice icon. From here, you can choose the language, the accent, and the gender of the voice to suit your ideal persona. You can also disable the voiceover.

Sample voiceover settings. In this example, the options are set for English language, American accent, and female voice. From this, there are four different voice options, labeled Olivia, Emma, Charlotte, and Ava.

To change the appearance, click on the “Style” icon.

This will allow you to choose one color (this could be a primary brand color). It also allows you to choose a font that closely matches your brand.

When changing the music bed, you can select from the music already provided by Instant Video Creator, turn the background music off or upload your own MP3 file.

If you choose to upload your own music, make sure the song is royalty-free to avoid any legal issues or that you have purchased the rights to the song.

Shows two options: to upload an MP3 to set your own background music, or to choose from music already provided. Examples of provided music include tags for different styles, such as energetic, laid back, and restless.

You can also search a library of royalty-free images to add to your video in the “Media” section.

Any edits you make will be autosaved as you work on your video.

Step 5: How To Change the Content of Your Video

For the blog post templates, the content in your video is automatically generated from the article you’ve written. However, you can adjust the content in your video in a few steps.

Start by locating the settings that allow you to change each block in your video. They appear as your cursor hovers over each block.

Arrow points to settings symbol. It appears as the cursor hovers over each block

If you want to add another block, you can click the “+” and choose from these types of blocks:

Title
Text
Image
Call to action (CTA)
Quote
List

To change the block’s style, pattern, color, voice, and face, click on the cog icon.

When editing content, hover over the Title or Text blocks to directly edit the auto-generated content.

Some words/phrases can be shown and not spoken. To do this, you need to write a word/phrase in square brackets [...]. For example: write [Semrush] to show “Semrush” in subtitles but not pronounce it.

To change how a word/phrase is pronounced, you can write it like this [text]{text spelled phonetically}. For example: [Microsoft]{Micro soft}. "Microsoft" will appear in the subtitles, but it will be pronounced "Micro soft".

You can also add a pause in your text. Type "<0.5s>" to add a 0.5-second pause or "<5s>" to add a 5-second pause. These can be placed anywhere in the text. Pauses can be up to 10 seconds long.

Hover over the orange call to action (CTA) block to change the text and the logo that displays at the end.

Mouse hovers over each block and then the orange call to action (CTA) block to change the text

Finally, if you want to rearrange the blocks in the video, click on the six-dot icon and drag the block to its new position.

Once you’ve altered your video to your liking, play your video a few times to make sure everything appears correctly.

Be sure to “Click to unmute” to hear the voiceover and the music playing.

Step 6: Download Your Video

Once you have perfected your video, you can download it using one credit from your plan. If you don’t have credits yet, you can easily purchase them upon downloading your video.

To download your video, click the blue button labeled “Export Video (1 Credit).” The exported video will be available for download in three ratios - Landscape (16:9), Portrait (9:16), and Square (1:1).

Videos are saved indefinitely. We recommend you save the link to be able to download the video in the future. You can find all your videos in “Your Videos”.

Arrow points to Export Video button in top right corner.

You can also download videos in a batch. You can change Video Title, Face, Voice, Style, and Music in a spreadsheet-like editor.

“Add translation” will automatically translate your video into other languages.

Arrows point to Add Translation button in the Batch create widget and to the Batch button on top of the page.
