Wixel: Creating a Video with AI

Create a full video from an idea, event, or product you want to promote, such as a new item in your store or an upcoming sale. The Wixel Agent may ask follow-up questions to better understand your vision, such as the type of video, mood, and audience.

1. Describe your idea in the text box. For example, "Create a new video for social media, for a new skin care product I'm selling in my store".

2. (Optional) Click the Add icon

   

   to attach images that customize the video for your needs. For example, add photos of the sneakers from different angles to get a product ad that shows them off.

3. Click the Generate icon

   

   .

Tip: Once you've provided enough details, the Wixel Agent will begin generating your video with shots and background music.

Create a highlights video from footage you already have, focusing only on the moments you want to showcase.

1. Click the Add icon

   

   in the text box and upload one or more video files directly to the chat.

2. Tell the Wixel Agent to generate highlights from this video. For example, “Generate highlights for this football game”.

3. Click the Generate icon

   

   .

4. Answer any follow-up questions about what you want to highlight, such as exciting events, key moments, or anything else you'd like to focus on. For example, "Show touchdowns only".

Drag and drop shots to change when they appear in the video. This moves the shot's elements (e.g. images and text) with it as well.

Divide a shot for sharper edits or new scenes. When you split a shot, it also splits the layers in it (e.g. the video element and text).

Select where you want to split the shot on the timeline and click the Split icon

on the timeline.

Drag the edge of any shot or element on the timeline to change when it appears or disappears.

Click the Add New Shot icon

to the right of your timeline and choose how to add a new shot:

• Generate with chat: Describe what you want to see in the shot and the Wixel Agent creates it for you.

• Upload image as shot: Add your own image to the shot.

• Upload video as shot: Add your own video to the shot.

• Start from blank: Begin with an empty shot and add only what you need.

Boost your message with visuals like text and graphics.

1. Click + Elements on the action bar.

2. Select or drag an element onto the video.

3. (Optional) Use the design options on the action bar to customize the element.

Select any video component in the timeline and use the action bar to make changes:

• Edit with AI: Let the Wixel Agent redesign your video with a new style or fresh visuals.

  Note: This option is only available if you generated a video with AI.

• Replace: Replace the media with an uploaded video or image from the Wixel Media Manager.

Add movement or transition effects to any element in your video. Animations can create smooth entrances, highlight key details, and guide your viewers’ attention where you want it.

1. Click the Animations icon

   

   on the action bar.

2. Select an animation from the available options.

   • Entrance: The animation introduces an element to the screen - it only plays once, when the element first appears.

   • Loop: The animation plays in a continuous loop.

   • Exit: The animation plays as the element disappears from the screen.

3. (Optional) Customize the animation to match the video's look and feel. Hover over the selected animation and click the Customize icon

   

   .

   Note: The available customization options depend on the animation you choose.

Tip: You can combine multiple animations for the same element. For example, make an image fade in and rotate while it's onscreen.

Add an AI voiceover to narrate your video. Use it to guide viewers through your video, highlight the moments that matter most, and support the message you want to send viewers.

1. Click the Add voiceover icon

   

   on the timeline.

2. Type (or paste in) a script for the AI voice to read.

3. Click the Voice drop-down and select an AI voice.

   Tip: Click Preview to listen before you add it.

4. Click Add Voiceover to add it to your video.

5. (Optional) After you add a voiceover, click the More Actions icon

   

   on the voiceover element and choose what to do:

   • Change Voiceover: Update the script or switch to a different voice.

   • Change Volume: Adjust the volume of the narration.

Tip:

You can add more than one voiceover with different voices in separate parts of the video. For example, add a voice for the opening segment and another to share product details.

Add captions to show your voiceover text on screen as the audio plays, so people can follow your video with the sound off. Make sure to add a voiceover to your video first, before adding captions.

1. Click the Caption style icon

   

   on the timeline.

2. Enable the Show captions toggle.

3. Style your captions using the available options. Choose a plain or karaoke style, adjust the sizing, colors, and positioning, and more.

Set the tone and mood with background music. You can generate music or choose from pre-made music provided by Wixel.

1. Click the Choose music

   

   icon on the timeline.

2. Choose what to do:

   • Select a track from the music library: Hover over the track you want and click Select to add it to your video.

     Tip: Click the Play icon

     

     to listen to a sample before choosing it.

   • Generate new music: Click Generate new track to have the Wixel Agent generate new music for your video.

3. (Optional) Drag the slider to adjust the music volume.

Note: Currently, you can only add 1 music track to your video.

1. Hover over the relevant element and click the More Actions icon

   

   .

2. Select Duplicate to make a copy or Delete to remove it.

The timeline controls help you precisely preview, navigate, and manage every part of your video. Here's what each control does:

• Expand layers: Open the full video editor to view and edit all visual components inside the main shots.

• Play

  

  /Pause

  

  : Preview your video from the current position in the timeline. Pause it when playing to quickly stop and review.

• Zoom: Use the

  

  and

  

  controls to work closely on a shot.

• Rewind

  

  / Fast forward

  

  : Jump forward or backward in the video.

• Video length & timestamp: The time indicator (e.g. 0:05/0:14) shows the total length of your video. When you stand on a specific place in the timeline, it'll show your current time in the video.

The Wixel Agent can assist you with:

• Creating a video

• Adding a shot

• Generating and regenerating background music

• Regenerating a shot for a scene or for the whole video. For example, you can ask to replace a product that's featured in the entire video.

Note: Actions that involve generating or editing a video with AI use AI credits.

Select any component, then type your request in the chat. The Wixel Agent will apply the change directly to what's tagged, so you don't have to reference the element you want to edit.

Videos are generated in 16:9 or 9:16 format.

Tip: If you know what size format you want (e.g. for social media on mobile) mention it to Aria at the beginning of your conversation.

No, you can’t resize an existing video directly. However, you can use the same prompt and media to generate a new video in a different aspect ratio.

Note: This uses additional AI credits.

A shot is a section or scene in your video. The video element holds the visual footage inside each shot.

When generating a video with the Wixel Agent, it may ask you questions to learn what to create. You can respond saying you don't have the answer, or you don't have the images (if this is what's asked). The Wixel Agent will generate the missing information for you, which you can later change in the video editor.
