How to Use Imagine

Imagine is where you make videos and images with your characters. Here's where to find it and what each option does.

Where to find Imagine

• In the app: tap the ✦ button at the bottom center of the screen.
• On the web: select Create Video in the left menu, or use the prompt box at the bottom center of the Home page.

What you can make

In the app, Imagine has three options at the top: Quick, Video, and Image. On the web, you can make HQ videos and images.

Quick

A quick video is a short clip of your character, ready in seconds. Your character says what you choose. Quick videos are made in the app.

1. Tap Quick.
2. Pick a character.
3. Type your prompt, tap a suggested topic, or tap # to see trending topics.
4. Tap the send button.

See How to Make a Quick Video.

Video

An HQ video is a full scene with your characters. You choose who's in it, what happens, and how it feels.

1. Tap Video.
2. Add your characters. Tap one from your recent characters, or type @ in the prompt box and pick a name.
3. Describe your scene. Add details about where your characters are, what they do and say, and how you want the scene to feel.
4. Choose the length. On the web, also choose Normal or Premium quality.
5. Generate your video.

HQ videos come in two qualities. Normal is fast to generate and works well for conversations and everyday scenes. Premium is the highest quality and slower to generate, best for action and big cinematic moments.

When your video is ready, you can change the script, cast, locations, wardrobe, and sound. See How to Make an HQ Video and How to Edit Your Scene.

Image

Make a picture with your characters, or start from a theme.

1. Tap Image.
2. Describe your image. Type @ to add characters, or tap Themes to pick one.
3. Generate.
