Video Generation

Quickly create on-brand teaser videos, sizzle reels, and product overviews. Easily tweak headlines and voiceovers to stay on message.

Overview

Creator Studio allows you to quickly generate polished, on-brand videos using your Arcade demos, brand kit, and AI-generated scripts.

You can create a video from scratch or directly from an existing interactive demo, then customize everything from scenes and voiceovers to transitions and layouts.

How do I create a video?

You can start video generation in two ways:

From the Create button on your home screen (team or personal workspace)
From an existing Arcade:
- Click Share
- Select Generate with AI → Video

What do I need before generating a video?

Before generating, you must:

Add a description (script, goal, or instructions)
Select a brand kit
Choose a video length

Optional additions:

Files
Other Arcades
URLs

If the Generate button is disabled, it’s usually because:

No description was added, or
You don’t have enough AI credits

You can check your credit balance in the top left or in Settings.

What happens after I click generate?

Once you generate:

Arcade will:
- Analyze your input
- Apply your brand kit
- Create the initial video (typically under 1 minute)
You’ll see:
- A preview player
- A timeline
- Options to:
  - Play / pause
  - Mute
  - Rate the output (thumbs up/down)

Hover over a section in the video timeline
Click Add pan and zoom
In the left-hand editor:

Highlight a specific feature or UI element
Guide attention across a screen
Add motion to otherwise static screenshots
Create smoother, more engaging transitions between scenes

Video Format

Square

Playback Controls

Rewind / fast forward
Zoom timeline in/out

These edits are for how you experience your editing, not the end user's view/experience.

Why can't I edit this video generation scene?

What you can edit in custom scenes varies based on what the software automatically generates as an editable setting.

Usually, text and numbers are editable, but there are limitations on custom scenes. If you're having issues, wondering why you can't edit something, it is most likely a custom scene.

Can I regenerate a specific scene and not the whole video?

Not yet, but coming soon!

Exporting & Drafts

Click Share to:

Copy a shareable link
Export as:
- Video
- GIF

Is the preview the same quality as the export?

No. The preview (link share) is lower quality. Your exported video is the high-resolution version.

Can I make multiple drafts?

Yes. Use the three dots menu → New Draft to create another version without losing previous edits.

Can I see my generated videos in Arcade?

Yes. They will be available in your Arcade library.

Can I copy and paste specific scenes?

Yes. You can use your right click or Command+C/V to copy and paste video generated scenes within the same video or across videos.

Why is there an Arcade watermark on my generated video?

The "Made with Arcade" watermark that gets applied to the bottom right of video generation is automatically applied the free plan. On paid accounts, this is automatically removed.
