Projects User Guide

Ad Projects

When you create an ad project, you can interact with the onboarding campaign modal to have GPT-5 help brainstorm creative ideas and ad writing for you. Generate 40 creative concepts, pick the best one, merge it with a modified version of idea #7, and brainstorm scripts around that concept. The possibilities are endless, ideas generate in real time, and you are in complete control (no AI ideas required).

Ad Settings & Onboarding
  • Brand Setup - Describe your brand and messaging
  • Campaign Goals:
    • General Awareness - Build brand recognition
    • Specific Goals - Target particular objectives
  • Creative Assets - Add headlines and copy snippets
Content Organization Strategy
  1. Start Simple - The platform is very flexible. Start with as many or few scenes as you like, and work in any chronological order of your choice. Start at the end, or work your way out from the middle.
  2. Build Out Progressively - Each description can be re-written by AI or manually to add in details as ideas come.
  3. Break Scenes Apart - Each "scene" has only one video shot or image associated with it. If the description is too complex for one shot, create more shots and break apart your description to describe only that shot.
  4. Complex shots - If you want to keep a specific scene description which includes a complex shot, for example cuts to 3 different views of your scene and requires 3 separate generated videos, create a new project that represents this one shot and render it together separately. Then import the render as your video for that scene.
