Motion videos: what they are and when to use them

A motion video is a 30–60 second ad or explainer where text and graphics are the main visual rather than footage: kinetic phrases, counters, charts, buttons, calendar, timer, 3D text and a live fluid background. It is built by code to the words of the voice-over, so every element appears exactly on the voice. Where: Content Factory → Motion videos → New. After launch: the AI director writes the voice-over text and storyboard from your brief, a voice narrates it, the engine renders frames (on a GPU if premium graphics is on), then everything is mixed with music and sound effects. Usually 5–10 minutes. Good for: product, feature or plan ads; launches and announcements; facts and numbers (the director turns them into counters and gauges); step-by-step processes; before/after comparisons. Not for stories with real people, real UI or food demos — use the regular stock video or AI blogger for that. A finished video has “Repeat with the same settings” (new text and scene on the same brief) and “Redo” with a style change — only the frames are rebuilt, with no new AI or voice cost.

What to put in a motion video brief

The brief is plain text with 3–8 points, not a script. The director writes the voice-over and picks the graphics itself, so facts matter more than wording. Must have: (1) what it is and for whom — one sentence; (2) 2–4 concrete benefits or features, ideally with numbers (“1224 channels”, “in 10 minutes”) — numbers become counters and gauges and are spoken as words; (3) one pain the product removes — it becomes the hook in the first seconds; (4) what to do and where — site, button, section — this goes into the final title. You do not need to describe format, length or style — those are set on the page. For a specific scene, add a hint right into the brief: “end with a manual vs autopilot comparison”, “show a 10-minute timer”. Bad example: “tell how great our service is” — without facts you get generic text with no graphics. Speech length: 30 s ≈ 90–105 words, 45 s ≈ 115–140, 60 s ≈ 150–175; split longer topics into several videos.

Motion video style: every setting and the preview

The “Video style” block sets the look, not the content: the director gets it as constraints and the style is applied at render time. That is why you can change the style of a finished video via “Redo” — only the frames are rebuilt. Presets: Gold · premium, Neon · techno, Acid · street, Magazine · editorial, Alert · red, Violet · dream. A preset fills every field below; any field can be changed. Accent color and background — swatches or a custom color. Headline font and numbers font — from the palette (Unbounded, Oswald, Playfair Display, Russo One, Rubik Mono One, JetBrains Mono, Caveat); the director also varies fonts between scenes. Caps: auto / always / never. Pace: fast (chopped phrases) or calm. Energy — strength of hits, glitch and camera shake. Text placement: center, top (graphics below) or bottom like subtitles. Background graphics: auto, 3D wireframes, particles, fluid (GPU only), clean. Fluid palette: warm, cold, two colors, single color. Film look: grain and vignette. Duration: 30/45/60 s — the target speech length for the director. Checkboxes: italic serif on key words (font contrast inside a phrase) and brand label in the corner. The style preview is a live mock-up: it shows colors, fonts, text placement, grain and vignette together. There is no animation, 3D or fluid in it — it is a color proof before launch. Premium graphics (GPU) adds 3D text with lighting and a live fluid; it renders on a rented GPU and takes longer. Pick music in the “Background music” block — without it the video has only voice and effects.

Topic or own script, languages, limits

“Topic” — you write a topic and the AI creates a script in the chosen language. You can tick several languages at once: each gets its own video with its own script. Extra context (tone, what to mention) goes into the single AI script call. “Own script” — paste ready text. The language is detected from the text. End every sentence with a period, question or exclamation mark: footage is picked per sentence. If there are almost no periods, the system neatly adds punctuation before rendering (the words do not change). Script limit — up to 7000 words (~60 minutes of voiceover); rule of thumb: 150 words ≈ 1 minute. If the text is longer, shorten it with the “Shorten with AI” button. You can set your own word limit and target length range in the project settings. You can also upload your own video files — the AI analyzes them, suggests a script and edits a clip from your footage.

Voice, voice speed, music and subtitles

Voice — choose from the ElevenLabs list (▶ plays a sample, ★ adds to favorites). Your own cloned voice does not appear in the shared list — enter its ID and a name in the project settings. Voice speed — from 0.7 to 1.2 (empty = normal). For news and fast formats 1.1–1.2 works well. Subtitles stay in sync. Music — the “Background music” block: no music by default; tick “BelkaFood music” (the service library, automatic or a specific track) or “My music” (your tracks in order) — details in the “My music” article. Default volume is 0.12 (0–1); it can be changed in the project. Subtitles — the “Subtitles on video” checkbox: unticked means no subtitles on the clip. Size (30–100) and position (top/middle/bottom) are set in the project or in a one-off video. Subtitles are “karaoke” style: words light up as they are spoken.

Ads in a video: two modes and the marker

In the video creation form you can add up to 3 ad inserts. For each one choose how to show the ad: • “Muted — the AI weaves the ad text into the script”: you enter the ad text and upload a photo or video. The AI retells the ad in its own words inside the script (with a heads-up and a thank-you to viewers) while your media plays silently on screen. Works in “Topic” mode only. • “With its own sound — whole clip, narration waits”: you upload a ready ad clip (video). It plays in full with its own sound; the narrator's voice and the music go silent meanwhile and continue afterwards. No subtitles are shown on the ad. Works in “Topic” and “Own script” modes. Where the clip with its own sound goes — the “When to show” field: • “By marker in the text” — the [AD_1] button becomes active: click to copy and paste the marker into the script after any sentence. In “Topic” mode the AI places the marker itself, and you can move it later in the script editor. • “At the start / In the middle / At the end” — the ad goes there automatically (no marker needed). If there is no marker but “By marker” is chosen, the ad goes to the end. The product link and ad description go to the START of the video description, above the clip's own description. For now the own-sound ad is supported only in the regular stock mode (not in avatar and split-screen modes).

My music: your own tracks, playlists and copyright

The “My music” section (under “My work”) is your personal background music library. Only you see and use it. Tracks you generated with AI (ElevenLabs Music) appear here automatically, marked “generated”; tracks you uploaded are marked “uploaded”. Adding a track: “My music” → “Add track”. Upload a file (MP3, WAV, M4A, FLAC, OGG, up to 50 MB — the server compresses it to MP3 192 kbps) and fill in: title, artist/author, source (e.g. YouTube Audio Library, Pixabay, your own recording), license, link to the license or track page, the “License requires crediting the author” checkbox and the attribution text for the video description. You can add a personal comment, e.g. “for calm videos”. You can upload up to 50 tracks. A track can be edited or deleted (videos already using it don't change). Copyright: if the license requires credit, fill in the attribution text — the track won't save without it. Copy exactly what the source requires: in YouTube Studio → Audio Library, tracks marked “Attribution required” have a “Copy” button. This text is added automatically to the end of the description of every video using the track (when publishing to YouTube and Telegram), as a line with 🎵. If a video uses several tracks, all credits are added without duplicates. Tracks that don't require credit are not added. The “Background music” block is the same in every creation form (New video, project video, From my videos, Quick clip, films, series) and in project settings. It has two checkboxes, both off by default — then the video has NO background music. “BelkaFood music” is the service's ready-made library: choose “Pick automatically” (different tracks in turn) or a specific track, each with ▶ preview and a personal comment. “My music” is your own tracks. Only one of the two can be on. The top right of the block shows what is selected. Choosing your tracks: tick “My music” — the “Choose tracks” button becomes active. Click tracks in the order you want: each gets a number 1, 2, 3… (clicking again removes it, numbers shift). You can also play a track ▶ and edit its comment there. The order and total length are shown under the button. How the playlist plays: tracks play one after another in the chosen order and loop until the video ends. Example: a 10-minute video with two 3-minute tracks → 1, 2, 1, 2 and 1 again (cut at the end of the video). A single track shorter than the video simply repeats. Track loudness is levelled automatically, there is a smooth 3-second crossfade between tracks, and the music fades out at the end. Overall music volume is a project setting. Music for the whole project: project settings → “Music” tab — the same block; click “Save project music”. All project videos, including autopilot, use it; in the new-video form of the project the block is pre-filled from the project and can be changed for a specific video. For a project, BelkaFood music is always picked automatically. A new project is created without music. Picking one specific track in the video editor replaces that video's choice. Generating a track with AI (ElevenLabs Music, commercial license included): “My music” → “Generate your own music” — describe the mood, choose the length, the track appears in your list in about a minute. Generation is only available in this section.

Quick clip: a photo comes alive in 5–15 seconds

“Quick clip” (Create menu) is a short video up to 15 seconds with one character from a photo: a person, cartoon character, pet or toy. For longer stories with scenes and several characters use “My films”. How it works: your photo is the first frame — the character, place and light come from it. The clip is built from 5-second scenes (5 sec = 1 scene, 10 = 2, 15 = 3), each continuing the previous one from its last frame. Each scene is animated by the LTX-2.5 model on our GPU server (LTX-2.3 as backup), then scenes are joined and voice, subtitles and music are added. Script — two modes, the “AI director” checkbox: • On (default): one field “What happens in the clip”. The AI (Gemini) splits the idea into 5-second scenes, invents the movements and, if the character speaks, short lines, and translates everything into English for the model. Handy when you just have an idea. • Off: a field appears for each scene. Your text goes to the model as written — no text AI is involved and the photo isn't described by AI either. The model understands English best — write simply and concretely: “the character waves and smiles at the camera”. If the character speaks, each scene has a line field voiced word for word (up to ~10 words per scene). Scene parameters (“Parameters” button): camera movement (static, push-in, pull-out, pan, orbit, follow, handheld), shot (wide, medium, close-up, detail), character movement intensity and emotion. They become precise wording for the model. Always on: same character, always fully in frame, same place, no other people and no scene changes — so the clip doesn't drift. Voice: “The character speaks” — choose a voice (ElevenLabs or Gemini), lips are synced with speech; “No speech” — movement only, no voice or subtitles. Background music — the “Background music” block (no music by default). Tips: a clearly visible character in the photo and simple actions give the most predictable result. The model follows your wishes but doesn't guarantee every detail — if a scene fails, simplify the text or change the parameters.

Video thumbnail: caption, update and AI thumbnail

The finished video page has a thumbnail block. What you can do there: • “Thumbnail hook caption” — a catchy text on the image. A long text is wrapped automatically into 2–4 lines so it does not run off the edges. • “Update thumbnail” — the same frame with the new hook text (even if you have not pressed “Save” yet). • “Another frame from the video” — picks a different random frame. • “Generate thumbnail with AI” — choose a model (for example Ideogram or Nano Banana) and the AI draws a juicy, clickable thumbnail from the title, description and hook. You do not write a prompt. This is a paid operation: it is charged from the AI balance like a regular AI image; if the model fails, nothing is charged. • “Upload your own thumbnail” and “Download thumbnail”. Note: YouTube does not let our channel upload thumbnails via the API, so YouTube uses an auto-cover from a video frame by default. You can download the thumbnail here and upload it to YouTube manually. The “Regenerate description/hashtags/hook” button recreates only the texts — the footage does not change. To get a different video with the same settings, use “Repeat” in the “Parameters” panel.

Videos without a voiceover

If you do not need a voice, untick “Voiceover” in the project settings or in the “New video” form. ElevenLabs is then not used (the voiceover is free), and the clip is assembled like this: the script is split into sentences, a stock video is picked for each, the footage changes at reading pace, with background music and subtitles (readable) and, if needed, text captions on top. Reading pace is set in words per minute (160 by default; the lower, the longer each shot stays). The minimum length of one sentence is 2.2 seconds so the text can be read. Without a voice the music is the only sound, so its default volume is higher (0.5); you can change it in the project settings. The mode works with stock and AI-image modes. It is not available with an avatar (the avatar speaks with a voice). For short question cards there is a separate “Trigger card” mode. Your own voice instead of a voiceover: on the video page of such a project there is a “Record my voice” button — you read the text in the browser and the clip is built to your pace (see the article “Recording your own voice: by phrase and teleprompter”).

Open as a separate page →

Recording your own voice: by phrase and teleprompter

For videos from a “no voiceover” project you can record your own voice right in the browser instead of ElevenLabs — no downloading or external editor needed. The voiceover cost is zero. How to start: on the video page click “Record my voice”, allow microphone access (a standard browser prompt) and choose a mode. • “By phrase” — one phrase on screen. Press “Start” or Space, read it, press Space again — the phrase is saved and the next one starts immediately. Any phrase can be played back (▶) and re-recorded. The most precise option: every phrase is recorded separately. • “Teleprompter” — the whole text scrolls smoothly, the current phrase is highlighted. The slider sets the speed (words per minute) and can be changed while reading — find a comfortable pace. “Pause” — to breathe or cough (recording pauses too), “Previous phrase” — if you slipped: the failed attempt will not get into the clip, “Next (Space)” — to move the highlight faster. Read along with the highlight. At the end you can listen to the whole recording and read again. After “Save and build video” the clip length and the shots adapt to your actual reading pace, and the music plays quieter than the voice. If you change the script later, the recording is reset (the text changed — record again). “Remove recording” returns the video to silent. Tips: record in a quiet place, keep the microphone at a constant distance; there is no noise suppression.

Video editor: replace shots and on-screen text

A finished clip can be tweaked without re-voicing it and without paying for the voiceover again. On the finished video page click “Editor: replace shots and text”. For every phrase of the script you can: • Change the keywords for finding the shot (in English) and the type: video or photo. • “Find a shot” — 8 options from Pexels with previews; click an option to pin that shot to the phrase, “Reset choice” returns automatic selection. • Set on-screen text: a title, a list or a quote. “Save and rebuild video” queues the clip: the voiceover and timings are taken from the existing ones, only the picture changes. “Save only” stores the edits without rebuilding. In avatar modes only stock inserts are replaced, the presenter's phrases stay as they are. The editor is available after the first video generation. For now you cannot reorder phrases or upload your own shots — only replace stock shots and edit captions.

A version of a video in another language

Any video with a script can quickly be repeated in another language. On the video page choose a language (RU, EN, NO, SV, DA, DE, FR, IT, ES, PL) next to the “Version in another language” button and click it. What happens: the script is translated by the AI (ad markers [AD_1] are kept), a new draft is created with the same project, music and voice, the title gets a suffix like “(EN)”. You land on the edit page — check the text. Important: the voice is copied as is. For the new language pick a suitable voice (ElevenLabs multilingual voices also read other languages, but an accent may be noticeable). Then start generation — the voiceover of the new clip is billed as usual.

Video languages: which languages you can make clips in

The Content Factory makes clips in 10 languages: Russian, English, Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Polish. The language is chosen in the video creation form and in project settings (“Default language”). What depends on the language: the script (when the AI writes it from a topic), punctuation, footage tagging, and the title, description and hashtags for publishing. The voiceover reads the script in the language it is written in: the ElevenLabs voice detects the language from the text itself. So if you paste your own script in German and pick “Deutsch”, the clip comes out in German. Choose a voice that sounds good in the target language and make a short test clip before a series — pronunciation and accent differ between voices. The panel interface can also be switched to any of these 10 languages: use the language switcher (language code) in the top-right corner of the panel. The public site stays in Russian, English and Norwegian; help articles in the other languages are shown in English.

My films: a cartoon of scenes with consistent characters

The “My films” section creates sequential films: the AI writes a story with dialogue, draws the characters, animates the scenes, voices the characters with different voices and assembles the finished film. The characters stay the same from scene to scene. How to create: “My films” → “Create film”. Describe the idea, choose a style (3D cartoon, anime, watercolor, clay, cinematic, photorealistic), the format (landscape 16:9 or portrait 9:16 — frames are drawn in the chosen proportion), the duration (30 seconds to 10 minutes), the narrator language and voice; you can turn on subtitles and add advertising (see below). Step 1 — story (free). The AI writes the characters and scenes: mostly dialogue between the characters, lines of 8–24 words, varied shots, a beginning and an ending. The film stops with the status “Waiting for story review”. You see a cost estimate and can edit character descriptions, lines, frame and motion descriptions, pick a separate voice for every character (▶ plays a sample) and the speaker of each scene. Don't like it — “Write the story again (free)”. Step 2 — creation (paid). Press “Approve and create film” and confirm the price. Reference portraits, scene frames (based on the references, so the characters do not drift) are drawn, frames come alive as 5 or 10 second clips (depending on the line length), lines are voiced and the lips of speaking characters are synchronised with the voice. Background music is added. If a model refuses to draw a frame, the system tries other wordings, softens the description, uses a backup model and as a last resort substitutes a neighbouring frame — the film does not stop. If something still stops (for example the balance runs out), press “Continue from where it stopped”: finished work is not paid for again. Any scene can be regenerated (paid). Your own script: when creating a film choose “I have my own script”, paste the text (a play “NAME: line”, a story, book chapters — up to 60,000 characters) or upload a .txt. The AI finds the characters and lays out the lines almost unchanged, you check the characters and voices, draw the characters, voice the script (pennies) and press “Create film” — the AI invents frames for the finished voice-over, you review them and confirm the exact price. Such a film is at most 30 minutes long; it appears in “My films” in the “Films from your script” block. Finished film: download it or press “Publish / schedule” — it becomes a regular video with publishing to channels and the Planner. Cost: about 4–5 kr per 5-second scene (a 10-second clip costs twice as much) plus about 2.5 kr for lip sync per character line; the exact estimate is shown at the review step. Charged from the AI balance as generation goes.

Series: consistent characters, episodes and your own script

The “Series” section is a shared world with consistent characters, and 1–10 minute episodes continue the story. Characters are drawn once and look the same in every episode. Two ways to create a series (chosen at creation): • “AI invents from a topic” — you describe the world and mood, the AI invents 2–5 characters (you can edit them). Draw each one (“Draw”, about 0.45 kr) and pick a voice — by default the AI casts different voices itself. Then “New episode”: describe the plot or leave it empty — the AI continues the story using summaries of previous episodes (written automatically after every finished episode) and leaves a hook for the next one. • “I have my own script” — paste a play (“NAME: line”), a story or book chapters (up to 60,000 characters) or upload a .txt. The AI finds the characters and lays out the lines, hardly changing your words. Check the characters and voices, draw the characters and press “Voice the script” (pennies): the exact length becomes known. The script is split into episodes by time without breaking scenes; change the number or length of episodes with “Recalculate split” — every episode shows its duration and price. “Create episode” builds the episode for the finished voice-over: the AI invents frames and motion, you review and confirm the price (the lines themselves can no longer be edited in this mode). An episode opens as a regular film (review, generation, publishing). Dialogue, different voices and lip sync work as in “My films”. Advertising in series: in the “Advertising in series” card add a product (upload a photo — a hero uses it in the frame, packaging and logo are preserved) or a service (heroes mention it in dialogue). You can set scenes per episode and episode numbers. Scenes with advertising automatically carry an “Advertising” label. In own-script mode product advertising works; spoken service lines are not added there because the voice-over is already recorded.

Studio with a presenter: the same host in every video

The “Studio with a presenter” mode is for channels where every video has the same host (news, reviews, stories) without paying for a “talking head” in each video. Setup: in the project settings choose “Studio with a presenter”, describe the host (for example: “a confident man of 35 in a dark jacket, a news studio”), pick the picture style and save the project. A “Studio host” block appears below. Host pictures: press “Create base picture” (about 0.45 kr). Then create more angles (“looks aside”, “holding a tablet”) — they are built from the first picture, so the character stays the same. Press “Approve” on the pictures you like and delete the rest (up to 6). Until at least one picture is approved, videos in this mode will not start. Animating: press “Animate” on an approved picture — the AI makes a short 5-second loop (the host blinks and moves the head and hands). It takes 1–3 minutes and costs about 3.8 kr. If the project has animated loops, videos use only them (in rotation), otherwise still pictures with a gentle camera move. To remove a picture from videos, remove its approval or delete it. How the video is built: the host's pictures or loops are placed on the host's lines, and between them (if “Alternate the host with stock footage” is on) — stock footage on the topic. Voice-over, subtitles and music work as in regular projects; autopilot and your own scripts work the same way. Why it is cheap: you pay for the host's pictures and loops once, when you create them — after that they are reused in all the project's videos for free, like your own stock footage. In each video you pay only for the voice-over. Limitation: the 5-second loop repeats and the host's mouth does not move exactly with the words — enough for news and review videos.

The “Ads” section: a library of ad campaigns

The “Ads” section is a library of your ad campaigns. Create an ad once and pick it from the “From the ad library” list in any ad block: in a video and a single video, in project ads, for show sponsors, in films and series. What to fill in for a campaign (“New ad”): - Name and brand; - What you advertise — a product or a service; - “What to say and show” — facts and details. In videos the AI weaves it into the script in its own words; in films and series the characters mention it or show the product; - Call to action / short description — for example “20% off with a promo code”; - Link — goes into the video description; - Product photo — a film character or the blogger will hold the product, keeping the packaging and logo; - A ready picture or clip — shown full screen during the ad insert and in “Stock + ad” mode. If the clip has its own sound, tick “show in full”. When you pick a campaign, the ad block fields do not need to be filled in — everything is filled in automatically. If you delete a campaign, the ad stays in videos already made: they keep their own copy of the data. The section itself is free; you only pay for generating the videos the ad is placed in.

Editing films and series: “Dynamic”, “Classic” and verified presets

When you create a film or an episode there is an “Editing” block — how the video is assembled: speech speed, pauses, how often the picture changes, subtitles and music. “Dynamic” is selected by default — a brisk pace without pauses or frozen frames. “Classic” is calmer, as before. Presets marked “verified” are settings of successful videos saved by an administrator. “Detailed settings — what they do and cost”: - Speech speed — speeds up the voiceover without changing the pitch (×1.12 — brisk but clear). Free. - Pause after a line — how long the frame is held after the last word. Free. - Trim silence at the start and end of lines. Free. - Max shot length — a long line is split at a pause into short shots, the second one tighter (a “push-in”). No new pictures are drawn, but each shot is a separate animated clip (paid per shot). 0 — do not split. - Animation model (lips to sound) — runs on our GPU; the clip price is shown next to it. - ElevenLabs voice stability — higher: the character's voice is the same in every line; lower: more emotion. Gemini voices are kept consistent by one instruction per character and are free within the quota. - Word-by-word highlighted subtitles — the spoken word lights up (if on-screen subtitles are on). Free. - Final call-to-action card — a banner over the last scene, e.g. “Comment WANT”. Free. - Your own music (ElevenLabs Music) — a unique track for the length of the video, saved to your library. Paid per minute; empty — a track from the library or rotation. Series settings apply to all of its episodes.

Your own photo for a character or presenter

You can use your own photo as the face reference in three places. Film and series characters. The character card has “Your own character photo (optional)” with two modes: - “Photo as is — becomes the reference” — free, the photo is used directly for all frames with this character; - “From my photo + description” — the AI draws the character with this face, but in the right look and film style (for example, cartoon). Paid, like drawing a character. Studio presenter. In the project settings, “Presenters and pictures” block: “Your photo” when creating the base picture — the presenter gets this face, while the look and studio come from the presenter description. Other angles are built from the base picture. You can also upload your own ready presenter frame or your own short presenter video (up to 12 seconds) — free and more reliable than any generation. Blogger. In the “Create a blogger” wizard — the “Your photo” field. Tips: a front-facing photo, good lighting, one face in the frame. Glasses and jewelry from the photo are kept. Upload only your own photo or photos of people who have given consent.

A video from your own footage

The “From my videos” section assembles one video from your own recordings — for example, from ten short clips of one repair job. 1. Upload your videos: several files, each up to 2 GB, MP4, MOV (from a phone, as is) or WEBM. Large files upload in parts; if an upload breaks off, delete it and add it again. Previously uploaded videos are in “My sources” — you can add them again, name them and star ★ them. 2. Choose what video to make: - “Keep my voice” — you speak on or off camera; the AI transcribes the speech, removes pauses, repetitions and digressions, and adds subtitles and quiet music; - “Voice-over story” — the AI watches the video, picks the best moments and writes text read by the chosen voice; - “No words, to music” — the best moments edited to music with short step captions. 3. “What happens in the video” — optional but helps the AI a lot (for example: “replacing a wheel bearing, Mercedes 190”). 4. Video length (30 seconds – 10 minutes) and orientation. If there is less useful footage, the video will be shorter. Before assembly you will see the cut and can adjust it. Deleting a source permanently also removes the file from storage — finished videos stay, but they can no longer be rebuilt from that file.

Music: your own library and AI-generated tracks

Every creation form (video, single video, film, episode, project) has a “Background music” block. - “Automatic” — a track from the shared pool in rotation (the one not played for longest goes first). - A specific track — from the shared pool or your personal library. You can preview a track ▶, star it ★ and leave a note only you can see. - “Generate your own music (AI)” — describe the mood (for example “calm background, soft synths”) and click “Generate”. It usually takes about a minute; you can keep filling in the form — the track appears by itself. A long track suits long videos. The track is saved to your library and available in all future videos, a commercial license is included. If generation fails, nothing is charged. A project can keep its own music pool (the music tab in the project settings) — project tracks alternate between its videos.

Insert design, subtitle style and the AI image model

Insert design — how titles, lists and quotes look over the video (cards, backing panels, darkening, different fonts, entrance animation). “Auto” picks its own design for each new video. Subtitle style — color, outline, highlight and how many words per line. Films and series also have “Word-by-word highlighted subtitles” in the “Editing” block. AI image model — in modes where the AI draws the frames (full AI render, films, studio). Models differ in price and style: Flux Schnell — the cheapest, Flux Pro — higher quality, Recraft V3 — illustration and vector, Ideogram and Gemini — good at text and scenes, Qwen-Image and SDXL-Turbo — on our own server (cheaper). Next to a model you can leave your own note — only you can see it (handy for noting what worked). The animation model (how the picture moves) is chosen where it is needed: in the project or in a film's “Editing” block.

Animated clips, scene regeneration and stopping generation

While generation runs, the video, film or series page shows a live stage indicator — the page refreshes by itself; you can close it and come back later. While you wait, you can pick a dinner recipe — the banner leads to Belka Food and can be closed with the cross. Animated clips. In films and series, each scene card plays the animated clip itself, and the “⬇ animated clip” link downloads it separately. In regular videos with AI frames, links to each frame's picture and clip are in the video editor. Regenerating a scene. In the scene card, tick what to redo: the frame, the voiceover or the clip (motion), and click “Regenerate”. Only what is ticked is charged. A new frame or voiceover of a speaking character automatically remakes the clip too, so the lips match the sound. Nothing ticked — everything is regenerated. Stopping. The “Stop generation” button — everything already done is kept, and you can resume from where it stopped. Finished frames and clips are not charged again. If generation fails because of a server problem (for example, a GPU did not start), you are not charged for the failed part.

Voices: ElevenLabs and Gemini

The voice picker has two kinds of voices. ElevenLabs — the most natural voices, billed by text length. In films you can set “Voice stability” in the “Editing” block: higher — the voice is the same in every line, lower — more emotion. Gemini (voices marked gemini) — free within the quota; each character has a permanent voice instruction (manner, pace), so they sound the same from line to line. You can preview any voice ▶ and star it ★ — favorites are shown first. In films and series, voices are assigned to characters automatically (different male and female voices); you can change them in the character card. Your own cloned voice is set in the project settings voice field and is available only to you.

Carousel: a multi-image post for TikTok and Telegram

A carousel is a post of several images that people swipe through. On TikTok and Instagram such posts often do better than videos: people save and share them. How to make one: “Create” → “Image posts” → “Carousel”. Write the topic, choose the language and the number of slides (4 to 10). If the topic contains a number of items — for example “5 mistakes when brewing coffee” — there will be enough slides to cover every item: an opening slide, the items themselves and a call to action at the end. Images — two options: • Stock photos — free. • Generate with AI (Nano Banana) — beautiful images made for each slide. You choose how many slides to generate: generated images go on the first slides, the rest come from stock. One image costs about 0.5 kr and is charged to your AI balance only if it succeeds. If the AI cannot generate an image right now, the slide gets a stock photo, nothing is charged and the page tells you about it. The AI writes a large headline and a short text for every slide, with a catchy question or promise on the first one. The post caption and hashtags are filled in automatically. Publishing: on TikTok as an image post, on Telegram as an album. YouTube does not accept image posts. You can download all slides as one archive together with the caption — for example to post on Instagram by hand. One finished carousel uses 1 minute of your plan's monthly limit.

Text posts: the agent runs your Telegram channel or group

The “Text posts” mode is for people who run a Telegram channel, group or page: news, laws, tips, expert notes. No video or voiceover — the agent writes the post, picks an image and publishes on schedule. How to set it up: 1. “Create” → “Posts” → “Text posts”. 2. Write the task for the agent: what the channel is about and what posts to write. For example: “Fresh changes in Norwegian law for immigrants. Plain language, with a “What it means for you” block at the end”. The more precise the task, the better the posts. 3. Choose the post length in characters: 500 — a short news item, 1000 — a regular post, 2000–4000 — an article. 4. Image: stock photo (free), AI-generated (about 0.5 kr) or no image. 5. Where the text goes: in the image caption (up to 1024 characters — Telegram's limit) or as a separate message after the image (up to 4096). 6. Optional: the post title on the image and its font, emoji, source links at the end. 7. On the “Autopilot” tab set the publishing times and channels. Where it publishes: Telegram — to a channel, a group or a specific topic of a group (connect the topic by its link in “Social networks”; several topics are possible, each works as a separate channel). TikTok and Pinterest — as a photo post with the text in the description (they need an image). YouTube does not accept text posts via its API. What the agent does each time: finds a fresh topic for your task, checks facts on the web (it does not invent numbers or dates), writes a post of the chosen length in your style and structure, picks an image and publishes. You can also make a post by hand: the “Create post now” block in the project settings. The finished post opens on its own page — you can edit the text before publishing. “Your own text” mode — when you write the post yourself. The “Create post now” block has a “Your own text” field: write your thoughts as they are, with typos and no structure, or press “Dictate” and say it out loud (up to 5 minutes, the text appears in the field and can be edited). The agent does not search for a topic and invents nothing: it keeps your meaning, tone and promises, fixes mistakes, removes repetition, splits the text into paragraphs, adds a catchy first line and a short call to action. Leave the field empty and the agent finds a fresh topic from the project task as usual. With an image or text only: next to “Create post now” choose the image for this particular post — as in the project settings, stock photo, AI image or “No image — text only”. Text only is published to Telegram as a regular message; TikTok and Pinterest need an image. Price: about 0.2 kr per post from the AI balance (topic search and text), an AI image adds about 0.5 kr, stock photos are free. 10 posts use 1 minute of the plan's limit — the free 30 minutes give 300 posts a month. It is the most affordable Content Factory format.

3D videos: a 3D world for your topic

A 3D video is a short clip (30–60 seconds) in a real three-dimensional world: a city with cars, a kitchen, a room, a forest camp. A host character walks around the scene, objects appear and move, coloured zones show “right / dangerous”, 3D captions and numbers hover above the scene. The camera automatically shows the place where the action happens. How to make one: “Create video” → “3D video” (or the “3D videos” section in the menu). Choose a world, write a topic — for example “who goes first at an uncontrolled intersection” or “how to put out a campfire safely” — the language, duration (≈30, 45, 60 or 90 seconds — the AI writes a script of matching length), format (vertical 9:16 or horizontal 16:9), voice and music. The rest is automatic: the AI director writes a voice-over for the chosen duration and stages the scene using what exists in the world; a voice narrates it; a GPU is rented for your video and Blender renders the 3D world; then sound effects (engine, brakes, a whoosh on captions), music and subtitles are added. Usually 15–20 minutes. Cost: GPU rendering is charged to the AI balance at actual cost — about 1–3 kr per video, plus the voice-over. A balance of at least 5 kr is required. A finished video can be downloaded, “Repeated with the same settings” (new text and scene on the same topic) or “Redone” with another topic. With the same topic only the video is rebuilt, and the voice-over is not charged again.

3D video worlds: what you can do in each

The world is chosen in the 3D video form and in the project autopilot. There are four now; new worlds appear in the same list. 🚗 City intersection — traffic rules, driving schools, “who goes where”. Cars of different colours, taxis, police, ambulance, fire trucks and lorries arrive from any side, go straight or turn left and right. The intersection can be uncontrolled, have priority road signs (“Give way”, “Stop”) or traffic lights that change as the story goes. A green zone under a car means it goes, red means it gives way; numbers above the cars show the order. Example: https://img.belka.no/belkafood/content-factory/scene3d/2/2/video-pA7zyR.mp4 🍳 Kitchen — recipes, food storage, kitchen safety. The chef host walks to the fridge, sink, cutting board, stove and table. About a hundred foods and kitchen items: eggs, bread, cheese, meat, fish, vegetables, fruit, frying pan, pot, plates, cutlery, ready dishes. Food appears on the counter and flies to the stove or the plate; a red zone means hot or dangerous, green means right; labels show time and amount (“3 MIN”, “2”). Example: https://img.belka.no/belkafood/content-factory/scene3d/2/3/video-C25HLY.mp4 🏠 Room and workplace — work, study, home, gadgets, habits. The host walks to the desk with a computer, the TV, the sofa, the coffee table and the bookcase. Items: laptop, monitor, books, mug, boxes, plants, lamp, speaker, snacks. Example: https://img.belka.no/belkafood/content-factory/scene3d/2/4/video-j6DyIr.mp4 ⛺ Forest and camp — hiking, survival, outdoor safety, ecology. A clearing by a river: a tent, a campfire with log benches, a big rock, a trail with a signpost, forest. Gear: bucket, axe, shovel, box, sleeping bag, fishing rod and fish, firewood, a pot. Example: https://img.belka.no/belkafood/content-factory/scene3d/2/5/video-72ukRt.mp4 All worlds have 3D captions (up to three short lines), a big “?” for questions and an automatic camera. Tip: write the topic so it can be shown with the world's objects — the AI stages the scene literally from the text.

Timelapse: a sped-up film of a transformation

A timelapse is a video where a house is built, a car is restored, an overgrown plot is cleared or a garden grows before your eyes. It looks as if it was filmed from one fixed spot over weeks of work, and is shown in 15–60 seconds. How to make one: «Create video» → «Timelapse» (or «My works» → «Timelapses»). Choose a scenario (construction, restoration, cleaning and landscaping, room renovation, growth and seasons, or your own story) and describe what changes — for example «a wooden sauna on the shore of a mountain lake». Settings: • Video type — cinematic, photorealistic, 3D cartoon, anime, watercolour, claymation, miniature. • Light and weather — sunset, overcast, night, winter. • Format — horizontal 16:9 (YouTube) or vertical 9:16 (Shorts, Reels, TikTok). • Length — 15, 30, 45 or 60 seconds; the number of frames is calculated automatically. • Pace — «fast» (speed-up, stronger timelapse effect) or «calm» (no speed-up, fewer frames, cheaper). • Shots — one view, or with a change to a medium and close-up shot, as in film editing. • Final reference — upload a photo of the result you want; it becomes the last frame and the stages are drawn backwards to the start. • Project — the video appears there for publishing; the project's ads are added there too. Storyboard: the AI plans the stages and draws the frames in order — each continues the previous one, so the place and the view stay the same. At this step you only pay for the images. Any frame can be edited or redrawn — the following frames adapt. Animation: after «Approve and animate» a graphics card is rented, smoothly animates the transitions between frames and is switched off right after the work. Then the video is assembled: speed-up, stage captions, music. Usually 10–20 minutes. The finished video can be downloaded, published to your channels and added to the planner. Autopilot: in the project settings → «Autopilot» choose the source «Timelapses», set the series topic and settings — the AI picks a new subject every time and releases a video on schedule without manual approval. Cost: a storyboard frame costs one image (shown on the create page), animation is charged by the actual graphics card time, usually a few kroner per video. Everything is taken from the AI balance.

Chronicle from archives: real footage from open archives

"Chronicle from archive" is a format where the video is built on real footage instead of stock clips laid under a script: a volcano erupting, a rocket launch, historical film, nature. The AI watches the footage you pick and tells what is happening in it. Where to find it: "+ Create video" → group "Real footage from archives" → "Chronicle from archive". How it works: 1. Choose the video type (event, space and science, historical chronicle, nature, technology) and write the topic in any language. The agent writes English search queries itself and picks clips. 2. Sources: NASA, Wikimedia Commons and vetted Internet Archive collections. Only material that may be used in commercial videos is taken: public domain, CC0 and CC BY. The source, author and licence are shown on every card. 3. Press ▶ on the preview to watch the clip in the card. "⬇ Download" saves the video as is, without processing. "Use this video" sends it to assembly. 4. After "Use this video" the "Video from your own materials" page opens in narration mode: the AI picks short moments and writes text for each, without pauses. Choose the voice (or a blogger — see below), subtitles, music, length and format. 5. The source and licence are added to the end of the finished video's description automatically — publish it with them unchanged. What it costs: • The agent's search — 0.20 kr from the AI balance per search (an empty result is not charged; factory admins do not pay). • Downloading the video as is is free. • Assembly on our machines: voice and processing are charged from the AI balance, video minutes come from your plan limit. Blogger instead of a voice: the assembly page has a "Who tells the story" block. "Blogger at the bottom" or "Blogger at the top" — a HeyGen presenter says your story in the first person and takes half of the screen while the video plays in the other half. The blogger is charged from the AI balance by the minute of the finished video and costs noticeably more than a voice-over. Ads are not woven in in this mode. Good to know: • Open archives have little fresh news or disaster footage; nature, space, science and historical film are found best. • Footage is often horizontal: in a vertical project it is cropped to the centre. • If an archive does not respond, wait a minute and search again.

Favourites and folders in Chronicle: collect videos for one topic

In "Chronicle from archive" you can save videos you like to favourites and sort them into folders, to gather several videos for one topic. How to save: press ☆ in the corner of a preview. A choice appears: "No folder", any of your folders or "New folder" (type a name and press "+"). If the video is already in favourites, the star is yellow and the window has "Remove from favourites". Saving the same video again simply moves it to another folder. The "★ Favourites" tab: at the top there are filters "All", "No folder" and your folders with counters. Here you can create, rename and delete a folder (videos of a deleted folder stay in favourites without a folder). A video in favourites can be played, downloaded and used in a video just like in search. Build one video from a folder: open the folder and press "Build a video from the folder". All its videos (up to 6) are downloaded and "Video from your own materials" opens: the AI watches them and writes one coherent story about the whole topic. The sources and licences of all videos are added to the description. Limits: up to 500 videos in favourites, up to 30 folders, up to 6 videos in one build. Favourites themselves are free.

Stock photos and videos in “Chronicle” and the “From Chronicle and stock” button

“Chronicle” has a “Stock photos and videos” tab: search across Pexels and Pixabay — free services with an open license: commercial use is allowed and no credit is required. Search is free. How to search: open “Chronicle” → “Stock photos and videos” tab, type a query (any language), tick “Photo” and/or “Video” and the services (Pexels, Pixabay), press “Search”. What you can do with results: • ☆ — save to favorites and sort into folders, like archive videos (photos carry a “Photo” badge). • ⬇ — download as is. • Videos can be taken into a clip (“Use this video”), published as is, or assembled from a folder. Photos never go into video assemblies: they are for images (storyboard, sample, reference). The “From Chronicle and stock” button: next to every image upload field in the Content Factory (films, series, timelapse, bloggers, etc.) there is a “📁 From Chronicle and stock” button. The window has two tabs: “My folders” (your saved photos) and “Search stock” (Pexels and Pixabay search right in the window). Tick one or more photos and press “Add” — they are put into the field like a normal upload and then work like your own file. If the page was open for a long time and search says “CSRF token mismatch”, reload the page. Good to know: • The stock license allows commercial use but gives no right to show identifiable people in advertising. Do not animate identifiable people or use them in ad videos. • Mark AI-generated content on platforms according to their rules. • Video search needs a working service key; if a service is temporarily unavailable, the search tells which one.
