Script to video overview

Turn any idea into a scripted video with AI-generated narration and visuals. Write your own script or let AI generate one, then customize visual style, layout, and voiceover.

Script to video is the most popular workflow for creating videos from scratch. Describe your topic, and AI writes a script and generates a complete video with narration, visuals, and captions.


When to use

Use this workflow when you want to:

  • Create a video from an idea or topic

  • Generate a script using AI

  • Write or paste your own script

  • Control visual style and media sources

  • Produce professional videos quickly


How it works

  1. Click New video and select Script to video.

  2. Choose your visual style (Free stock, AI image, Premium iStock, or Custom).

  3. Select Generate script to have AI write it, or Blank script to write your own.

  4. If generating, enter your topic and configure voiceover, language, and duration.

  5. Review the generated script and adjust sections as needed.

  6. Click Generate video to produce your video.

After generation, you enter the editor where you can refine every detail.


Configuration options

Before generating, you can configure:

  • Aspect ratio — 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, or other formats

  • Visual style — Free stock, AI-generated images, Premium iStock, or a custom mix

  • Visual direction — Optional guidance for what visuals to use

  • AI voiceover — Choose a narrator voice

  • Language — Set the script and narration language

  • Duration — Target video length

  • Preset — Apply saved style settings


Tips

  • Be specific when describing your topic—detailed prompts produce better scripts.

  • Use Rewrite script to regenerate if the first version doesn't fit.

  • Enable AI image for creative or conceptual videos where stock footage may not exist.

  • Add visual direction to guide the AI toward specific imagery.
