Frequently asked questions

Do I need video-editing experience?

No professional editing software experience is required. Choose a workflow, provide your source and goal, and use the generated result as your starting point.

Can I leave while a video is being generated?

After a task has been submitted, you can follow it from the task list. Make sure any upload has finished before leaving the page.

Should I use a workspace or a focused tool?

Use a workspace when you need a complete source-to-video flow. Use a focused tool for a single job such as captions, audio, or format conversion.

Do all workflows share the same task list?

The four AI creation workflows use the task list for task status and results, giving you one place to manage generated videos.
