Steps to set video duration

  1. Open the Idea page

    Click New Video to start creating.

  2. Select a workflow
    Choose your preferred workflow (for example, Script to Video).

  3. Click the Auto pill
    Click the pill labeled Auto to open duration settings.

  4. Choose a duration mode
    Select one of the following:

    • Automatic
      Let VideoGen choose a length based on your script or idea.

    • Preset duration
      Pick from predefined lengths.

    • Custom
      Enter a minimum and maximum duration range.

  5. (Recommended) Add a buffer
    If you’re aiming for a specific length (for example, 10 minutes), try a range like 9–12 minutes.
    That gives the AI room to structure the video without cutting important content.
