Create your first video

Read before this

1. What is ngram?

Creation Studio turns a brief and optional sources into a video you can review and revise. Use this guide for a new video; existing older projects remain in Projects.

Before you start

Sign in and check that you have credits available. Prepare a short brief with an audience, a main message, and the action you want viewers to take. Add only source material you have permission to use.

Create the video

1. Open Home and choose Prompt to video.
2. Write your brief in Video brief. Choose Add files if the video needs source material.
3. Review Model, Length, Voice, Presenter, Pace, Format, and Brand. Pick a style from Start from a style when you have a visual direction.
4. Choose Create video. The setup shows the estimated credits before generation.
5. Read the proposed plan, including its script and production details. Request changes if a fact, visual direction, or section is wrong.
6. Choose Approve plan when it matches your brief and the credit estimate. Production then starts.
7. Play the preview. Use chat or Make changes for revisions; changes may consume credits.
8. Choose Download when the selected video is ready. If Preparing download appears, wait for the MP4 to finish rendering.

Check the result

Replay the opening, factual claims, and final call to action. Enable captions when a caption track is available and you want it included. The conversation saves your work so you can return to it from Projects.

If progress stops

A plan waiting for approval needs your response. Read the last conversation message before retrying a failed run. Keep the same conversation open while production or download preparation is active so you do not create a duplicate.
