AI Video Creation

Create short, engaging video clips using AI for eye-catching digital signage content that stands out from static images.

Getting Started

1. Navigate to AI Studio > Video Generation 2. Choose your generation method:

  • Text-to-Video — Describe the video scene
  • Image-to-Video — Animate an existing image

Text-to-Video

Write a description of the scene you want:

  • Describe the visual elements and their motion
  • Specify camera movement (pan, zoom, static)
  • Mention mood and lighting

Example prompts:

  • A cup of steaming hot coffee on a wooden table, camera slowly zooms in, warm morning light, cozy atmosphere
  • Fresh vegetables falling into a salad bowl in slow motion, bright kitchen, professional food videography
  • A modern retail store entrance with people walking by, time-lapse style, busy shopping day

Image-to-Video

Start with a still image and add motion:

1. Select an image from your library or AI gallery 2. Describe the desired motion: the clouds move across the sky, gentle breeze moves the trees 3. The AI animates the image based on your description

Image-to-video produces more predictable results because the AI has a clear starting point. Generate a great still image first, then animate it.

Credit Costs

  • Text-to-Video: 5-12 credits (depends on duration and settings)
  • Image-to-Video: 5 credits

Use Cases

  • Menu boards — Add steam, sizzle, and pour effects to food photos
  • Retail — Animate product showcases with rotation or zoom
  • Hospitality — Create ambient lobby videos with gentle motion
  • Corporate — Generate animated backgrounds for announcement screens
  • Seasonal — Falling snow, blooming flowers, flowing water

Best Practices

  • Keep videos short (5-10 seconds) — they are accent content
  • Pair AI videos with text overlays added in the design editor
  • Loop videos seamlessly for continuous playback
  • Combine with static images in a playlist for variety

Processing Time

Video generation takes longer than images:

  • Typical generation time: 1-3 minutes
  • You will receive a notification when complete
  • You can continue working while videos generate

AI-generated videos may have occasional visual artifacts. Always preview the full video before publishing to screens. Regenerate if quality is not satisfactory.
