Pro Tips for Success

Get the most out of your first video creation

Start with Text Block

If you're new to video creation, begin with Text Block format. It's simpler to set up and great for learning the basics.

Keep Text Concise

Mobile users watch videos quickly. Keep your text short and impactful for maximum engagement.

Test Text Positioning

Try different text positions to avoid covering important parts of your images. Bottom position usually works best.

Choose Contrasting Colors

Ensure your text color contrasts well with both the image and background. White text on dark backgrounds is most readable.

Common First-Time Issues

Avoid these common mistakes when creating your first video

Video generation not working? Make sure you're on the Growth or Pro plan. Basic plan users need to upgrade to access video generation.

Text not visible? Check that your text color contrasts with both the image and background. Try white text with a dark background for best readability.

Images look blurry? Use high-quality images (at least 1080x1920 for best results). AI-generated images are automatically optimized for video use.
