Get started with video creation using VID's templates and settings.
Video Templates
VID provides you with a number of video design options. You can select any template from the video template dropdown menu. Once you’ve determined your other output settings, click the “Generate” button to see your selected video template in action. If you’d like to try other designs, you can switch between all template options in the editor (pictured below).
Video Length
VID can produce videos with durations of 6, 15, 30, and 60, 90, 120 and 180 seconds. The selected video length will determine how many slides are generated. Slides are approximately 5 seconds long and feature one key point from the text provided. Articles over 10,000 characters will support videos of any length. Articles under 2,000 characters are not ideal for longer videos because they do not provide sufficient content for the tool to generate enough key points (pictured below).
Aspect Ratio
VID can produce videos in the following aspect ratios: 9:16, 16:9, 1:1, 4:5. When creating your video, you can select an aspect ratio that will best suit your desired use (for example, 9:16 for social media, 16:9 for YouTube, etc). You can preview your video in any aspect ratio on the edit screen before generating the final file (pictured below).
Audio
VID has 15 AI-generated, royalty-free tracks you can use as background music for your video. You can preview all audio tracks with your video by clicking the “Preview” button on the edit screen (pictured below).
Brand
If you have multiple brands, you can select the brand you want applied to the video template from the dropdown menu. If you only have one brand set up, this dropdown will default to that brand (pictured below).
Use Your Own Images
If you’d prefer to select your own imagery (instead of images being AI-generated), you can use the “Use My Own Images” toggle. By selecting this option, you’ll be able to source or upload your preferred images when editing your video. Note that slides will appear without visuals when first generated if you select this option (pictured below).
Quick Create
VID allows you to quickly generate a video with no editing required. To do this, select the “Quick Create” toggle. When using this feature, you will not be able to adjust the output settings for video template, video length, aspect ratio, audio and brand once you’ve clicked “GENERATE.” Additionally, you won’t be able to edit the text, text color or background color on any of the slides in the video. Each slide will leverage AI-generated images. You’ll have a fully generated video within seconds—no editing required (pictured below).
