Quick Start

Create your first image directions from one rough idea, keep provider spend visible, then steer the best version in a short review loop.

Start with one rough idea

VideoBrainstorm is for the early creative pass. Start short, generate options, then react to the version that feels most useful.

1. Open the studio. Sign in, complete product access if needed, and add the provider keys you want to use in Settings. Gemini is the main key for Auto Mode, Gemini image generation, and Veo.
2. Start a project. Use one project per product, campaign, or visual direction so instructions, references, checkpoints, and finals stay scoped.
3. Describe the direction. Say what you want to explore in one sentence. Add reference packs only when brand, product, character, or style continuity matters.
4. Generate versions. Auto Mode plans the smallest useful job, then creates image directions or a video task based on your request.
5. Review any pause. If the app pauses for provider spend or missing references, read the reason before choosing Edit request, Run anyway, or the lower-cost option.
6. Pick what works. Watch active generations near the composer, then mark useful results as finals or choose a version and ask for more like it.

Example first prompt: "Surreal product launch visuals for a new iced coffee brand, bold morning light, premium but playful, social campaign look."

Example first pass:

• Version A, Studio hero: clean product-first direction with bold morning light.
• Version B, Desk lifestyle: realistic campaign frame with room for copy.
• Version C, Surreal energy: riskier visual route for social testing.

Keep the loop short

Use one intent at a time. After the first result, select the version you like and ask for the next move.

• More like this: use when a version has the right direction and you want more options.
• Change this: use when one part is wrong but the version is mostly useful.
• Included references: use when a brand, product, character, or style should carry into the next run.
• Finals: save useful assets for share links, polls, and later project references.
