Import video clips ​

Prepare your footage ​

Import clips before generating a video. You can use your own footage or appropriately licensed stock footage. Choose clips that match your topic and make sure you have permission to use them.

  • Format: Use .mp4 files. The documented workflow currently requires the lowercase .mp4 extension.
  • Aspect ratio: Keep clips at the same aspect ratio for a consistent result.
  • Duration: Aim for 3–15 seconds per clip. The editing workflow extracts up to 15 seconds from a clip.
  • Variety: Use different shots and viewpoints. You can split longer footage into individual shots with an editor such as CapCut.

Import a folder ​

Click Select at the top of the middle panel. Choose your prepared clips folder, then confirm with Select Folder to import its videos.
