# Video Generation

## 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)

This lets you control how quickly or slowly the motion happens.

***

Use pan and zoom to:

* Highlight a specific feature or UI element
* Guide attention across a screen

* Create smoother, more engaging transitions between scenes
