Auto compose uses AI to turn your media into a first-draft video. Review the result before you export, especially if you need exact wording, order, timing, or brand details.
What the AI can and can't do
Auto compose can:
- Review the photos and videos you add.
- Pick highlights, pacing, layouts, transitions, music, and effects.
- Create different versions from the same media and style choices.
Auto compose may not perfectly follow:
- Every literal instruction or prompt detail.
- Exact clip order, timing, or duration requests.
- Precise text, captions, names, dates, or brand rules.
If you need precise control, use the editor timeline after auto compose creates the draft.
How to use auto compose
- Sign in to Clipchamp, then select Create a video with AI.
- Name your video, add the media you want included, then select Get started.
- Choose style preferences with thumbs up or thumbs down, or select Choose for me, then select Next.
- Choose landscape or portrait, choose the video length, preview the draft, then select Next.
- Keep the selected music or select Music to preview and choose another track.
- Select Export if you're happy with the result, Create a new version to regenerate, or Edit in timeline to make manual changes.
How to correct or refine the result
If the video doesn't match what you wanted:
- Regenerate: Select Create a new version for a different draft.
- Adjust inputs: Remove unwanted media, add missing media, or use fewer files for a more focused result.
- Change the style or music: Pick different style preferences or a different background track.
- Fine-tune in the timeline: Trim, reorder, delete, or replace clips; edit text; replace music; adjust timing; add effects, stickers, or captions.
