There are four total steps to the Autopilot process to get your video to the finish line. This article will detail out each page and their functionalities. Consider this handbook as a co-pilot when working on your first videos as it may help you with your process, and maybe even help or improve your projects.

On this page, you'll upload the song for your Autopilot project. You will also see your library of previously uploaded songs.

To upload a song, select Upload Music. From there, your computer's directory will appear and you would select your song.

There's a lot of really great functionalities on the Track page. To best understand each component, below is a screenshot with numbers that will dive into each feature.

To generate a cover for your track, you can click on the 🌄+ icon. A popup box will appear where you can enter your Prompt for the artwork and select a Style preset (optional). From there, click Generate and you will see your album art appear below. You can click on the album art to Expand on it, or select it and click Close. Generating an album cover uses 3 credits.

You can change the title of your song - this is a great option if you have demos of songs you're working with, or just want to keep things organized to your liking.

Helpful when creating customized durations of your video. Click anywhere on the waveform and drag both left and right to find the exact duration that you're wanting. To confirm that you've reached the correct placement, click the Play button to hear the playback from the beginning and end point of the duration.

When uploading your song, our AI automatically transcribes the lyrics to the song. There may be instances where you need to fine-tune the lyrics or the timing they come in. To edit the Lyrics, click into the Lyrics box and make any necessary changes. You can play the timestamped line of lyrics and adjust the timing. You can add or delete lines of captions, too.

All of your previous videos for the specific uploaded track will be here. Click into a Clip and this will redirect you to the Storyboard. Helpful when creating an Autopilot draft and wanting to continue your project, or fine-tuning a specific clip or scene.

Click the dropdown to select between 16:9 or 9:16 aspect ratios, perfect formats for social media.

While you have the ability to click on the waveform and drag it around to precisely the exact position you want, we also offer Presets which are great for social media. As an example, for a YouTube Short, your video must be under 60 seconds.

The Video Concept is where your story comes to life. This is where you would enter the type of video you're wanting, info about what your subject or character is going to be experiencing in the video. You can also mention aspects of scenery, location, and style. You can write anything in here that you want and our AI will listen to all of it.

If you don't enter a Video Concept, no worries! Our AI will create one for you based on your song.

Styles add visual flair to your video. Here, you have the ability to select from Preset Styles or an Autopilot Style that you've created. For more info about Autopilot Styles, check out this article.

You can have up to three completely controllable characters that you can upload or text prompt for your video. Alternatively, you can select no character at all or let our AI generate a character for you based on your song. For more info, check out this article.

Once you have all of your parameters locked in, click Create Video. You will see a pop-up screen that asks you to choose your Video Technique. There are three different types of techniques:

The Storyboard page is where you'll see your video begin to come together - you can fine tune the project or you can let our AI take the wheel. To best understand each component, below is a screenshot with numbers that will dive into each feature.

Whether you've added your Video Concept or you let our AI generate the Video Concept, you'll have the ability to make changes to the Video Concept. You can be as descriptive as you want - the AI will listen to all of it.

You also have the option to Pimp My Story, which uses our AI to put an extra kick to your Video Concept. Note: Pimp My Story uses 1 credit.

Once you've made changes to your Video Concept, be sure to click Regenerate Scenes to have your updated Video Concept align with the scenes of your video.

The Style feature allows you to pick a preset style, or one that you've created yourself. Based on attributes of your song, our AI will select a style automatically. If you want to change the style, you can click on the Style button. This will expand into multiple Style presets that we offer where you can view some examples of the images used for each Style. If you've trained an Autopilot Style, you can select it here.

If you make changes to your Style, be sure to Regenerate Scenes to activate the new Style for your scenes and video.

The Scenes portion of the Storyboard page is where your Storyboard comes to life. With the Scenes feature, you can see the way your story will be told, based on your Video Concept. You can make changes to each Scene, and individually Regenerate Scenes, rather than the entire Storyboard.

You can assign a character by clicking Character to go to the Character portal. You can pick up to three completely controllable characters that you can upload images of, or prompt. For more info about Character Consistency, please check out this article.

Anytime you make changes to the Video Concept, Style, or Character, you'll need to click Regenerate Scenes. This way, your changes to the Video Concept prompt and the Style that you've selected are locked in for the video. The credit value for Regenerating Scenes is listed on the button, and typically aligns with how many scenes are on the Storyboard.

Clicking on the Video Model (Keyframes cost + Video cost) will allow you to select which model you'd like to use. It's important to note that the total cost of each video you create is dependent on the duration of your track, the amount of clips needed, and the model you select. To see how models perform, you can click here.

When selecting the model, keep in mind the total cost of the video, which is the Keyframe Value + the Video Cost. In the GIF below, you can see the separate Keyframe cost and the Video Cost. You will need to add these two numbers together to get the total cost of your video. In the GIF below, the costs to create this video are:

If you didn't lock in the Video Technique, you can select it from this dropdown.

When clicking on the Create Video dropdown, you have the ability to Generate Starting Images first (Keyframes) so you can view each starting image individually, or you can skip straight to the full video.

Generating Starting Images to view all of the starting images, keyframe prompts and video prompts does take a bit of extra time, but avoids extra surprises and allows you to regenerate the keyframes up front, saving potential future cost in the future if needing to re-generate a clip from your video.

Once you click Create Video on the previous page, you'll be taken to the Video page.

When you select the Starting Images First on the Storyboard page, you have the ability to:

Select how each individual clip will look by using the Cut, Blend or Lip Sync scene parameters.

Notes:

When you generate the Starting Images first, this gives you a really great idea of how the video will look because you can see the exact prompt for the Starting Image, as well as the Video Prompt prompt associated with the image. You can make changes to the Starting Image and then Re-generate the image, and you can make changes to the Video Prompt.

Important: When you make changes to the Starting Image, be sure to Regenerate the Keyframe. To do this, click on the Recreate icon where you're editing the prompt. If you only make changes to the Video Prompt, there's no need to regenerate the keyframes at all.

When you've finished making any necessary changes to the Starting Images and have Regenerated them, or any changes to the Video Prompts, you can click Create Video. Your video should be finished in around 10 minutes.

When your video is complete, you continue to have the ability to:

To begin the editing process on the Video page, scroll towards the bottom, right below the Video Player. You can click for a specific Scene to scroll through all of the clips related to a Scene, or you can click on a Scene and then select an individual clip.

You can then begin the editing process for either the Starting Image, or the Video Prompt. Once you have made adjustments, you can:

To download your video, you'd click on the Download button at the top right-hand side of the Video tab on Autopilot. From there, you'll be given options of downloading the direct 1080p, or an enhanced 1080p. For Ninjas and Nirvana's, you'll be offered to upscale to 4k where the credit value would be listed.

You also have the ability here to allow us to share your video for promotional purposes - this is completely optional but if you decide to do this, you'd be prompted to share your social media links through the dropdown.

Upscaling your video usually takes about 10 minutes or so, so hang tight or go to a different tab while our upscaler works its magic.

When your video is complete, you'll see the Download button appear again and then you can Download your video simply by clicking the ↓ button.
