Step 1: Start a New Project

From the dashboard, click the New Project button to create a fresh project.

Step 2: Write Your Prompt

In the prompt input area, describe the video you want to create. Be as specific as you can — include details about colors, text, layout, and motion.

Example prompt:

Create a modern product introduction video with a dark background. Start with the title "Introducing iArt" sliding in from the bottom with a subtle glow effect. Then show three feature highlights appearing one by one with smooth fade-in animations.

Step 3: Wait for AI Generation

After submitting your prompt, the AI agent will start generating your video. This typically takes 15–30 seconds depending on the complexity of your request.

Step 4: Preview the Result

Once generation is complete, your video will automatically play in the preview panel. Watch it through to see if it matches your vision.

Step 5: Refine Through Chat

If you want to make changes, simply describe what you'd like to adjust in the chat. For example:

  • "Make the title text larger and change the color to white"

  • "Speed up the transition between sections"

  • "Add a subtle background animation"

The AI will update your video based on your feedback. You can iterate as many times as needed.

Step 6: Export Your Video

When you're satisfied with the result, click the Export button to render your video as an MP4 file.

Your video will be rendered in the cloud and available for download once complete.

Tips for Your First Video

  • Start simple — Begin with a straightforward concept and add complexity through chat refinements

  • Be descriptive — The more detail you provide in your prompt, the closer the result will be to your vision

  • Iterate freely — Don't try to get everything perfect in one prompt. Use the chat to make adjustments
