## Generating a video

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Video Generator">
    Log in to [app.mynexusai.com](https://app.mynexusai.com) and select **AI Video Generator** from your dashboard. This tool requires a **Premium or Ultimate** plan.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter your video prompt">
    Type a detailed description of the video scene or story you want to create. For example: *"A product reveal of a sleek black smartwatch on a rotating pedestal, dramatic studio lighting, cinematic style."*
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set duration and style preferences">
    Choose your desired clip **duration** and select a **visual style** (e.g. cinematic, animated, documentary, minimalist). Additional style settings may include colour grading preferences and motion speed.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Generate and wait for processing">
    Click **Generate**. Video rendering takes slightly longer than image generation — processing typically completes within a few minutes depending on duration and complexity. You will be notified when your video is ready.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Preview and download">
    Watch your video in the built-in preview player. If the result meets your expectations, click **Download** to save the file. Otherwise, refine your prompt or adjust the settings and regenerate.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  The AI Video Generator requires a **Premium** ($25/mo) or **Ultimate** ($50/mo) plan. It is not available on the Free plan. [View pricing](https://app.mynexusai.com) to upgrade.

## Best practices for video prompts

Writing effective video prompts takes a slightly different approach to image prompts — motion, sequence, and narrative all play a role.

<Accordion title="Describe the action, not just the scene">
  Video is defined by movement. Instead of *"a coffee cup"*, write *"a coffee cup being placed on a wooden table in slow motion, steam rising gently."* Including verbs and motion cues gives the generator clearer direction.
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="Set the scene clearly">
  Specify the **environment**, **time of day**, and any relevant background details. For example: *"A busy city street at night, neon signs reflecting on wet pavement, medium shot."* The more visual context you provide, the more coherent the output.
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="Define the mood and tone">
  Words like *"dramatic"*, *"upbeat"*, *"serene"*, *"tense"*, or *"playful"* help steer the overall atmosphere of your video. Mood cues influence pacing, colour grading style, and visual energy.
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="Keep prompts focused for short clips">
  For clips under 10 seconds, concentrate on a single scene or moment rather than a sequence of events. Trying to pack too much action into a short clip can lead to disjointed results.
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="Iterate and refine">
  Your first generation is a starting point, not a final product. Review the output, identify what worked and what did not, then adjust one or two elements in your prompt and regenerate. Incremental refinement yields better results than starting from scratch each time.
</Accordion>
