# Getting Started

## Create your first video in Videfy

This guide walks you through the full Videfy workflow, from creating your first project to exporting your finished video. You’ll learn how each step works so you can move quickly while staying in control of your creative process.

### **1. Dashboard: Your Home Screen**

When you log in, you’ll land on the **Dashboard**. This is where all your projects live.

From here you can:

* Open existing projects
* Create a new project
* Rename, duplicate, or delete projects

To get started, click **Create a video**.

</Frame>

### **2. Create Your Story**

After creating a project, you’ll be taken to the **Let’s Create Your Story** page. This is where you define the foundation of your video.

Here you’ll set:

* Your script or idea
* Visual style
* Video format
* Optional AI assistance for prompts, illustrations, characters, and voiceover

</Frame>

#### **2.1 Choose a Script Type**

Videfy supports three ways to start your story:

* **Idea** – Write a short idea and let Videfy generate a narration script for you.
* **Voiceover script** – Paste a finished narration if you already have one.
* **Scene Flow** – Define each scene manually for maximum control.

<Frame>
  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/videfyai/uIQq_KibiQwxFrYy/images/Idea(1)-1.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=uIQq_KibiQwxFrYy&q=85&s=a38620d4927e585956eb2a468b0440a4" alt="Idea(1)" width="1440" height="788" data-path="images/Idea(1)-1.png" />
</Frame>

Choose the option that best fits how much structure you already have.

#### **2.2 Add Your Voiceover Script**

If you’re using a voiceover-based flow:

1. Write or paste your voiceover script
2. Click **Continue**
3. Select **Tone & Context Keywords** to guide generation
4. Click **Continue** again

Videfy will automatically split your script into scenes.

<Frame>
  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/videfyai/uIQq_KibiQwxFrYy/images/Idea(2)-1.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=uIQq_KibiQwxFrYy&q=85&s=7840ab6cc956a6c97339c561fe8c0007" alt="Idea(2)" width="1440" height="788" data-path="images/Idea(2)-1.png" />
</Frame>

You can:

* Edit scene text
* Add or remove scenes
* Regenerate all scenes if you change the script

When everything looks right, click **I Love It**.

#### **2.3 Choose a Visual Style**

Next, select or create a **Visual Style**. This style will be used for generating images and videos.

You can change the visual style at any time later in the process.

#### **2.4 Select a Video Format**

Choose the aspect ratio for your video:

* **9:16** (vertical)
* **16:9** (landscape)
* **1:1** (square)
  <Frame>
    <img src="https://mintcdn.com/videfyai/uIQq_KibiQwxFrYy/images/Untitled.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=uIQq_KibiQwxFrYy&q=85&s=181c3f60594a967fdfd0166b06a0118c" alt="Untitled" width="944" height="260" data-path="images/Untitled.png" />
  </Frame>

This can also be changed later if needed.

#### **2.5 Let AI Help Build Your Scenes (Optional)**

You can speed things up by enabling AI-assisted options:

* **Create Prompts for All Scenes** – generates prompts for each scene
* **Create Illustrations for All Scenes** – generates images (requires prompts to be enabled)
* Keep Character Consistency – Maintains the same character appearance across all generated scene images

<Frame>
  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/videfyai/uIQq_KibiQwxFrYy/images/Untitled1.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=uIQq_KibiQwxFrYy&q=85&s=5883b9525b6ef1d33328dbd11b48923e" alt="Untitled1" width="944" height="260" data-path="images/Untitled1.png" />
</Frame>

Even when AI is enabled, you can still edit prompts and visuals manually at any time.

#### **2.6 Characters**

If prompt generation is enabled, Videfy can also create characters automatically based on your script.

</Frame>

* You can edit characters manually at any time

#### 2.7 Add Voiceover

Next, choose how you want to add narration to your video.

<Frame>
  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/videfyai/uIQq_KibiQwxFrYy/images/Let's-breakdown.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=uIQq_KibiQwxFrYy&q=85&s=e36e08aa244b6495ac83a7cf70e14f68" alt="Let's Breakdown" width="1440" height="788" data-path="images/Let's-breakdown.png" />
</Frame>

You can either:

* **Generate a voiceover using Videfy** – Turn your narration script into AI voiceover
* **Upload your own voiceover file** – Use audio you’ve already recorded

When generating a voiceover, you can use:

* **Quick** – Generate narration quickly with simple voice settings
* **Pro** – Access more advanced voice controls
* **Upload** – Add your own audio file instead of generating one

In Quick mode, you can choose the voice model, language, accent, narrator pace, and narrator.

When you’re ready, click **Generate Voiceover**.

Videfy shows the estimated duration, word count, character usage, and credit cost before generation, so you can review everything before creating the final voiceover.

### **3. Storyboard**

Once your story setup is complete, you’ll move to the **Storyboard**. This is where you generate and organize your scenes.

<Frame>
  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/videfyai/uIQq_KibiQwxFrYy/images/Storyboard-(collapsed-view).png?fit=max&auto=format&n=uIQq_KibiQwxFrYy&q=85&s=74ba850cdcad016fe65c4bb51266f86d" alt="Storyboard (collapsed View)" width="1440" height="788" data-path="images/Storyboard-(collapsed-view).png" />
</Frame>

From the Storyboard you can:

* Generate images, videos, and prompts
* Reorder scenes
* Add or remove scenes

#### **3.1 Automatic Generation**

If you enabled AI options earlier, Videfy will automatically start generating:

* Prompts
* Illustrations
* Voiceovers

#### **3.2 Compact vs Extended View**

You can switch between two storyboard views:

* **Compact view** – Quickly review and organize scene order

  </Frame>

#### **3.3 Generate Images or Videos**

To generate visuals, open **Extended view** or click **Edit Visual** to generate & edit content per scene

#### **3.4 Timeline (Storyboard Stage)**

At the bottom of the Storyboard, the timeline lets you:

* Move clips
* Remove silences
* Upload assets
  <Frame>

  </Frame>

When everything is ready, click **Go to Videfy Studio**.

### **4. Videfy Studio**

The **Videfy Studio** is where you polish your video before export.
