## Start a new video project

2. Choose how you want to start your story:
   * Idea or Prompt
   * Voiceover Script
   * Scene-by-Scene Breakdown
3. (Optional) Click **Examples** to explore ready-made ideas
4. Click **Let’s Go** to continue

### **Using Examples**

The Examples panel helps you start quickly if you’re unsure what to write or want inspiration.

You can:

## **Create a Video from Idea or Prompt**

This option is ideal when you have a rough idea or short prompt and want Videfy to help build the story, narration, and visuals.

### **Step 1: Choose your starting point**

1. From the Home Screen, click **Create a video**
2. Select **Idea or Prompt**
3. (Optional) Click **Examples** to open a curated library of ready-made ideas
   * Browse prompts for common use cases (storytelling, promo, demo, social, etc.)
   * Use tags to filter by category
   * Click **Use** to instantly apply an example
4. Edit the text if needed
5. Click **Let’s Go**

### **Step 2: Let’s Create Your Story**

On this page, you’ll define the foundations of your video.

**Required fields**

* **Story name** – Internal name for your project
* **Start with your idea** – Describe your concept or prompt

The Continue button remains inactive until the idea field is filled.

#### **Mandatory settings**

Videfy requires a visual style and video format for every video. These are **automatically set by default**, so you don’t need to take action to continue.

* **Visual style** – A default style is already applied. You can keep it or choose a different style.
* **Video format** – A default aspect ratio and layout are preselected. You can change them if needed.

These settings are always present. You either continue with the defaults or customize them — it’s not possible to proceed without them being set.

**Optional setup**

* **Tone** – Define mood (e.g. cinematic, emotional, playful)
* **Content keywords** – Add context to guide AI prompt generation

### **Step 3: Generate Voiceover Script**

* Click **Continue** to generate a voiceover script
* You can refine or regenerate the voiceover script if needed

### **Step 4: Scene breakdown**

* Videfy automatically breaks the script into scenes
* You may preview the breakdown or click **Skip** while it generates in the background

### **Step 5: Generate scenes and visuals**

Choose whether to:

* Create prompts for all scenes
* Create illustrations for all scenes

Click **Let’s Go** to start scene generation.

Videfy automatically:

## What happens after clicking Let’s Go

If you selected **Yes** for **Create Prompts for All Scenes**, Videfy will create prompts for your scenes from the Storyboard.

If you selected **Yes** for **Create Illustrations for All Scenes**, Videfy will create illustrations for your scenes from the Storyboard.

From there, you can review each scene, edit the text, regenerate visuals, or make manual changes before moving forward.
