Quickstart

This guide takes you from a new account to a finished advert you can download and share. Have two things ready: a product photo and your logo.

Caution

Steps 7 and 8 spend credits. The app shows the price before each one, and nothing is charged until you confirm.

1. Create your account

   Go to the sign-up page and choose Create Free Account, or Sign up with Google. When you are in, you land on Discover.

2. Set up your brand (recommended)

   Open Brands in the left menu and choose New brand. Add your brand name and logo, then set your colours and fonts, or import them from your website or a guidelines PDF. Select Save.

   You can also add a brand later, from the canvas. See Brands and brand kits.

3. Pick a starting point on Discover

   Open Workflows in the left menu. The Discover tab shows featured flows. Select Browse all, or open the Brand Flows tab, to see every flow and template by category. Select a card to open its preview.

4. Choose how to start

   The preview has two buttons:

   • Let’s begin opens the flow with an empty brief, ready for your own product and words.
   • Use template shows every node of the example first. Select Use template again to open your own editable copy on the canvas.

   For your first advert, choose Let’s begin.

5. Fill in the brief

   Add what the flow asks for, such as your product photo, logo and a line about the product. Then select Generate storyboard. The flow opens on the Brand Flow canvas.

6. Review the plan

   The copilot panel on the right plans your advert as scenes. Each scene has a visual and a script line. Rewrite a line, drag scenes into a new order, remove one, or select + Add a scene. Editing the plan is free.

   Check the Storyboard score. If it is too low to build, the panel lists what to add, such as your brand or your product.

7. Shoot the storyboard

   Select Run storyboard. Reignitor makes one still frame for each scene so you can see the advert before any video is rendered. If a frame is not right, change the scene’s prompt, or type one change into the frame, and shoot it again.

8. Build the advert

   When the frames look right, select Build advert. In the Generate Video window, choose the video type, render quality, aspect ratio, voice and music. The window shows what the render will cost and your balance before and after. Select Generate.

   Progress shows at the top of the canvas as scenes finish. You can also open the render queue from the header of the app.

9. Download and share

   When the canvas shows Rendered, select Play to watch it and Download to save the MP4. On the Final Video node you can copy a link anyone can watch, with no login needed.

What to do next

• Select Edit video on the canvas to trim and caption the advert in the Video Editor.
• Open the Build advert menu and choose Add a language to render it in another language. See Translation and language cuts.
• Every render stays in the renders menu on the canvas. Re-downloading an earlier render is free.
