Script in, finished MP4 out — the fastest path through the whole pipeline.

The fastest path from a blank screen to a finished MP4.
1. Paste your script
Written the way you would want it read aloud. It is split into scenes automatically on your own sentence and paragraph breaks — nothing is rewritten.
2. Turn on Auto mode, or plan it yourself
Auto mode runs voiceover and visual generation together with one switch — the fastest route to a first draft. Turning it off lets you choose a visual source and review each scene as it is planned, which is worth doing once just to see how the pieces fit together.
3. Let AI Director choose the shots (optional)
Turn on AI Director and the model decides shot count, visual source and pacing per scene instead of one image per paragraph. It is a normal, editable project afterwards either way.
4. Review on the timeline
Adjust Ken Burns pan/zoom, swap a transition, or restyle a caption on the live preview — it matches exactly what renders.
5. Export
Pick 9:16 or 16:9 and render. Export finds the fastest encoder your machine actually has and falls back to a clean CPU encode if none qualifies. See Exporting Your Video for the details.
