How to make a complete AI video — from idea to export.

Start with an idea in the Director chat. Director plans the whole video and keeps everything it needs in one project — images, voice, sound, music, AI avatars and the video scenes. You edit, reorder or replace any scene before the video is generated; planning and the previews are free, and the scenes and avatar lines are rendered in credits. Product photos and other images from Lab can guide a scene as references for its people, product and place.

The Studios give you direct control over a single asset: talking avatars in Video Studio; narration, music, sound effects and subtitle files in Audio Studio; images in Image Studio. Every result is saved to Lab, so one project can combine generated shots, uploaded media and sound.

• Short-form videos for Reels, TikTok and Shorts.
• Product ads, explainers, cinematic stories and social campaigns.
• Talking people, animals, presenters, singing, dancing and motion-controlled shots.
• Complete Director videos, plus vertical, landscape and square clips from Video Studio.

Every plan includes the same models, formats and quality; what a generation needs is enough credits for its estimate. Planning and preparing a video in Director is free within usage limits: past a limit, a plan is needed to keep making pictures, and any picture still missing at render time is part of the render's quoted price. Generation is paid in credits, from a one-time pack or a subscription, and the exact price shows before you confirm.

Check the current estimate beside Generate before submitting. If a provider accepts a job and it later fails under the refund policy, the interface reports the failure and restores the eligible credits.

• Changing the model can change quality, speed and credit cost.
• A model selected from a public model page stays selected in Studio.
• VlogMe never silently swaps an explicitly chosen brand during a provider outage.
• Current plan details and credit rules are always listed on Pricing.

Open Director and describe in the chat what the finished video should achieve. Mention the platform, target length, audience, tone, call to action and any facts that must remain exact.

When product images, brand references or a portrait matter, upload them to Lab and add them to a scene as references: Director uses them for the people, product and place, and the shot does not have to start from them. You don’t have to choose a technical model at the start.

• Weak: “Make a cool product video.”
• Better: “Create a 20-second vertical skincare ad for women 25–40, calm premium tone, three product close-ups, end with a trial CTA.”
• Keep legal claims, names, prices and on-screen text explicit.
• Say what must not change: logo, packaging, face, language or color palette.

Review the hook, scene order, spoken lines, on-screen text and ending. Shorten, reorder or rewrite any scene in the chat — or ask Director to redraft the whole plan — before the video is generated.

For a full video, judge the transitions between scenes as carefully as individual prompts. A strong plan varies shot size and rhythm while keeping the subject and message consistent.

• Confirm pronunciation, language and names before voice generation.
• Keep on-screen copy short enough to read on a phone.
• Use a clear visual purpose for every scene.
• Approve the plan only when the narrative works without relying on lucky generations.

Use sharp, well-lit images with the subject clearly visible. For products, include several angles and an unobstructed logo. For people or avatars, use a front-facing reference without heavy filters or overlapping faces.

Uploaded files are saved to Lab and can be reused in any workflow. Keep the original file when you expect to crop it into several aspect ratios.

• Avoid tiny subjects, motion blur and compressed screenshots.
• Use reference images with consistent styling when identity matters.
• Provide a mask only for a precise inpaint or replacement operation.
• Use licensed media and obtain permission for recognizable people and voices.

Director renders the scenes for you. In Video Studio and Image Studio, choose a specific model when you need direct control. Some models run on their developers’ own APIs, including OpenAI and ElevenLabs. Many others, including Veo, Nano Banana and Kling, run through partner platforms.

Each Studio workflow lists its featured models first and the rest of the catalog after them, and Repeat settings in Lab restores the model a result was made with.

• Use model pages to compare strengths, inputs and limitations.
• During a provider outage, keep the chosen model and retry later, or deliberately pick an alternative.
• Use image editing for exact local changes instead of regenerating an entire composition.
• Test identity, text and motion on a short scene before scaling a long campaign.

Review the full sequence in the storyboard and in the rendered preview. A clip can look impressive alone and still feel wrong in context, so watch pacing, continuity and the handoff between narration and visuals.

Changes to the plan are free, but each render spends credits, so rewrite the weak prompts before you render again. For an existing clip, use a suitable video-edit workflow when the requested change can be made without recreating the shot.

• Check the first two seconds: the hook should be immediately understandable.
• Alternate wide, medium and close shots to avoid visual monotony.
• Keep subjects and products in safe areas for captions and platform crops.
• Review the complete storyboard before the final render.

Choose a voice that matches the speaker, market and pacing. VlogMe uses ElevenLabs for primary voice and sound workflows. Director prepares the voice, sound and music as part of the project plan, and Audio Studio gives you direct control: it saves narration, music, sound effects and caption files (.vtt and .srt) to Lab, ready to reuse in any project.

Generate captions after the spoken audio is stable. Review names, brands, numbers and punctuation manually, then check contrast and line length on a phone-sized preview.

• Keep music below speech and avoid abrupt cuts at scene boundaries.
• Use lip sync or a talking-avatar workflow only where a visible speaker needs it.
• Localize the actual performance—not just subtitle a voice that feels wrong for the market.
• Do not clone a voice without the required rights and consent.

Check spelling, factual claims, faces, hands, logos, product details, lip sync, caption timing and audio levels. Also review the opening frame and final call to action as static thumbnails.

Director delivers the finished video as an MP4; for additional placements such as 16:9 or 1:1, generate matching clips in Video Studio. Save the project and source assets so you can create localized or platform-specific versions without starting over.

• 9:16 for most Reels, TikTok and Shorts placements.
• 16:9 for YouTube, presentations and landscape ads.
• 1:1 when a square feed placement is required.
• If a generation fails, read the status first; retry the same model or consciously choose an alternative.
• To post to connected social accounts, right away or on a schedule, open the finished video in Lab.

Lab is the library of your VlogMe account. Images, video clips, voice and music tracks, caption files and finished Director videos are saved there as soon as they are ready, together with the prompt and settings that produced them. Uploads go to Lab too, so a product photo or a portrait you add once can guide a scene in Director as a reference or become an avatar in Video Studio.

Filter by file type or by the tool that created a file, or search across file names and prompts. Open a result to preview, download, delete or reuse it in another workflow; Repeat settings restores the model and settings of an earlier generation, so you can run a variation without rebuilding the request. Renders that are still running, and the ones that need attention, are listed at the top so you can retry or edit them.

• Every result saves automatically; no separate export step is needed to keep it.
• Search works on prompts as well as file names.
• Publishing to connected social accounts, right away or on a schedule, starts from Lab.
