# 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) *** ## Editing your Generated Video ### How do I edit my video?

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 ### How do I share or export my video? 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. *** ### Sharing & Feedback #### Can I see my generated videos in Arcade? Yes. They will be available in your Arcade library. #### How can I share feedback or request changes? Contact us on our Support channel. #### 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. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
