01

What a template is

A tested recipe with blanks left for you to fill.

A template is a prompt we already wrote, tested, and tuned. You don't need to know camera language — fill in the blanks for what the clip is about, who is in it, or what you are selling, then generate.

Three places on this site look similar but do different jobs:

PageWhat it is for
HomeType your own prompt — the most freedom, but you have to know what to write.
TemplatesTake a recipe that is known to work and get the job done — fill the blanks and generate.
CommunitySee what other people made and borrow ideas — not something you fill in and run.

02

Find the right template

Every card carries a sample clip actually made from that template. Tap the speaker to hear the audio before you commit — the sample tells you the shape of the result far better than the name does.

  • The topic row at the top — a broad filter: green screen, cooking, ads, pets, and so on.
  • The tag row (#) beneath it — finer-grained, and new tags keep appearing.
  • The “comes with images” chip — that template ships its own sample images, so you can generate without finding a photo first.

03

Step 1 · Fill in the blanks

Press “Use this template” and a three-step panel opens.

The first step is that template's set of fields. How many there are depends on the template — some have one, some have four or five.

  • Fields labelled “can be left empty” — leave them blank and the system fills its own example. The clip still comes out fine.
  • The “Try with examples” button — fills every empty field at once, so you can then edit them one by one. Much faster than starting from a blank page.
  • The “Pick a style” row (when a template has one) — one press swaps the whole tone, e.g. from bright and clean to dark and cinematic.

Attach your own images

Image-driven templates state how many images they need under “Your images”. If the template brought its own, that image is marked “system” — tap it to swap in yours. That swap is the whole point of a template: the same recipe applied to your subject.

Step 2 · Check what you typed

The step that stops you paying credits for a typo.

This step lays out every value you entered in one read, along with the images that will actually be sent. Anything the system filled for you is marked “(example)”, so you can tell your own words from ours.

Below that is the full prompt that will be sent, which you can expand and actually edit. What you see is what gets sent. If you edit it into a mess, “Reset” takes you back to our recipe at any time.

Step 3 · Settings and generate

The last step holds the values that drive both the price and the shape of the file you get:

SettingWhat it doesAffects price
Length5–20 seconds · longer costs proportionally more credits.Yes
SharpnessStandard is a preview · HD costs 3× the credits · FHD 5×.Yes
Aspect ratioVertical for TikTok/Reels · landscape for YouTube · square for feeds.No
SoundLets the model bake ambience and speech into the same file.No
Show in communityCan be turned off when paying with purchased credits — the clip then lives only in your library.No

06

What happens after you press generate

  • The job queues immediately. Close the panel or change pages — you don't have to watch it.
  • The task bar at the bottom keeps showing progress, even while you browse other templates.
  • When it finishes the clip lands in “My library”, the one place all your clips live.
  • Press “Make another” to loop back into the same template without hunting for that card again.

07

Make a template yours

A template is a starting point, not a cage.

  • Change the field values first and leave the full prompt alone. Only go deeper if the result still misses.
  • Change one thing per generation, not three at once — otherwise you never learn what helped and what hurt.
  • Explore at short length and standard sharpness, then re-run the version you like at HD or FHD.
  • Keep the prompt that worked for you, and type it straight into the home page next time.

Once you start wanting to rewrite the prompt yourself, the prompt writing guide is the next page to read — it explains why the recipes are written the way they are.
