## 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:**

```
First scene description, "character says this"
Cut to: New scene description, "character says that"
```

**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

## Prompting

### Basic prompt structure

```
[Scene setting], [character description] says "[dialogue]", 
[action description], [camera movement]
```

### Example prompts

**Simple Dialogue Scene:**

```
Office setting with natural light, professional woman 
in blue suit says "Welcome to our presentation", 
she gestures to the screen, camera slowly zooms in
```

**Multi-Cut Sequence:**

```
Busy coffee shop, barista smiles and says "What can I get you?",
Cut to: Customer thinking, then says "Large cappuccino please",
Cut to: Close-up of coffee being made, steam rising
```

### Character consistency tips

* Describe characters clearly at first mention
* Use consistent descriptors throughout
* Reference previous character descriptions for cuts

## Settings

| Setting      | Options                 | Best For                                                        |
| ------------ | ----------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Mode         | Default / Premium / Max | Premium or Max for professional results with synchronized audio |
| Aspect Ratio | 16:9, 9:16              | 16:9 for YouTube, 9:16 for social                               |
| Duration     | Auto-determined         | Based on prompt complexity                                      |

## Techniques

### Create conversations

```
Person A in red jacket says "How are you?",
Person B smiles and responds "Great, thanks!",
They shake hands, camera circles around them
```

### Scene transitions

```
Sunrise over mountains, birds chirping,
Cut to: Hiker on trail says "What a beautiful morning",
Cut to: Summit view, hiker raises arms in triumph
```

### Emotional moments

```
Close-up on tearful face, soft lighting,
"I never thought this day would come" she whispers,
Camera pulls back to reveal celebration scene
```

## Troubleshooting

### Audio Sync Issues

* Keep dialogue concise and clear
* Place dialogue quotes immediately after character description
* Avoid overlapping speech in single shots

### Scene Consistency

* Maintain consistent character descriptions
* Use "same \[character/location]" references
* Keep lighting and time of day consistent

### Render Quality

* Always use Premium mode for final outputs
* Generate multiple variations for options

## 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

## Quick reference

| Element             | Syntax                     |
| ------------------- | -------------------------- |
| Dialogue            | `character says "text"`    |
| Scene Cut           | `Cut to: new scene`        |
| Camera Move         | `camera pans/zooms/tracks` |
