Overview

Create professional videos with synchronized dialogue and sound effects entirely through AI. Go from empty canvas to finished 16:9 clips with synced sound in roughly one minute. What you’ll create:
  • Videos with integrated dialogue
  • Synchronized character speech
  • Scene cuts and transitions
  • Professional camera movements

Before you start

  • Access to Kive workspace
  • Basic understanding of video prompting

Steps

Step 1: Access Video Generation

  1. Open the Generation section
  2. Switch to Video mode using the mode selector
  3. Click the Settings icon on the right side

Step 2: Configure Video Settings

Set your video parameters:
  • Mode: Premium (for best quality)
  • Aspect Ratio: 16:9 (or your preferred format)

Step 3: Master Video Prompting

Video prompting differs from image prompting—think about action that unfolds over time.

Prompting structure

Sequential Action Description:
  • Early prompt = early in video
  • Later prompt = later in video
  • Describe actions in chronological order
Essential Elements:
  1. Set the Scene (light initial description)
  2. Focus on Speaking Character
  3. Add Dialogue (in quotes)
  4. Sprinkle Scene Descriptions throughout

Advanced techniques

Adding Cuts:
Camera Movements:
  • Include camera directions in your description
  • Examples: “camera pans left”, “zoom in on face”, “aerial shot”

Step 4: Generate Your Video

  1. Review your prompt and settings
  2. Click Generate
  3. Render time: approximately 1 minute
  4. Set up multiple variations while waiting

Step 5: Review with Sound

Once complete:
  1. Play the video with sound enabled
  2. Check dialogue synchronization
  3. Save successful generations to boards

Tips

  1. Start Simple: Begin with single character, single scene
  2. Build Complexity: Add cuts and camera moves gradually
  3. Use Starting Points: Check homepage for prompt templates
  4. Batch Generation: Queue multiple variations while waiting
  5. Sound Design: Describe ambient sounds for richer audio
