How to Generate Video and Audio with Ask AI

Create custom short-form marketing videos and multi-format audio voiceovers directly from text prompts inside Ask AI.

  • Delivery Controls: Tone, pacing, and emotional direction.

How to Maintain Clear Text in Generated Videos

Video generation models animate across frames, which can distort text generated inside a moving scene. Ask AI resolves this by rendering text as a static image first, then animating that graphic into the video clip.

Specify exact wording inside quotation marks within your prompt to ensure clarity. Define whether the text must remain visible from the start frame or animate during camera movements.

How to Anchor Videos Using Start and End Frames

Anchor frames keep video transitions aligned with existing images or brand assets. You can anchor the start of the video, the end of the video, or both frames simultaneously. Anchor frames allow you to:

  • Begin a clip using a specific product image.

  • Conclude a sequence on a branded call-to-action screen.

  • Generate a transition between two distinct static images.

  • Turn a static design into an animated sequence.

How to Direct Camera Motion, Lighting, and Visual Style

Camera and style directions instruct Ask AI on framing and visual texture. Providing concrete staging details yields higher consistency than general descriptions. Supported prompt parameters include:

  • Camera Movement: Slow zoom in, slow zoom out, static camera, or panning.

  • Framing: Product close-up, wide landscape, or centered vertical view.

  • Lighting: Soft studio lighting, golden hour, or commercial lighting.

  • Negative Prompts: Elements, artifacts, or distortions to explicitly exclude from generation.

How to Generate a Video in Ask AI

Follow these steps to generate a video clip from a prompt.

  1. Open Ask AI from the main navigation menu inside your account.

  2. Enter your video prompt containing duration, orientation, camera movement, and copy.

3. If anchoring the scene, select the source graphic to use as your start or end frame.

4. Submit the prompt.

5. If requesting 4K resolution, confirm the processing prompt to proceed.

6. Review the completed video rendered in the inline conversation player.

How to Save a Generated Video to Media Storage

Saving an asset moves the file from the conversation window into permanent account storage for use across websites, funnels, and campaigns.

  1. Reply to the completed video output in Ask AI requesting to save the file.

2. Confirm the save action when prompted.

3. Verify that Ask AI displays the saved file name (e.g., .mp4) and confirms placement.

4. Navigate to Media Storage from the left-hand navigation to view the file in your media library.

How to Generate an Audio Voiceover in Ask AI

Follow these steps to generate spoken audio from a text script.

  1. Open Ask AI from your account dashboard.

  2. Submit your written script accompanied by delivery instructions (such as tone, speed, or pacing).

  3. Select an option when Ask AI prompts you to choose from the 10 available voices.

  4. Set playback speed between 0.25x and 4x if a non-standard speed is needed.

  5. Review the rendered take using the inline audio player.

  6. For scripts exceeding 4,000 characters, submit the text in segmented sections to render separate audio players.

  7. Select Export and choose your target format: MP3, WAV, OPUS, or AAC.

Common Issues and Fixes

Video Rendering Takes Longer Than Expected

  • Cause: Selecting 4K output requires additional rendering passes compared to standard resolution.

  • Fix: Confirm standard resolution for draft clips, and reserve 4K generation for finalized production assets.

On-Screen Copy Warps During Camera Movement

  • Cause: Prompt did not instruct Ask AI to generate copy as a static image prior to animation.

  • Fix: Re-submit the prompt specifying the exact text in quotation marks and instruct the AI to anchor the text from frame one.

Audio Export Fails to Play in Downstream Tools

  • Cause: Target tools may not support modern codecs like OPUS or AAC.

  • Fix: Re-export the rendered audio file as an MP3 or WAV file.

FAQ

What is the difference between Ask AI audio generation and Ask AI Voice Mode?

Ask AI audio generation produces exported, reusable voiceover audio files from a written text script. Ask AI Voice Mode is a real-time conversational interface used for talking back and forth with the assistant.

Can I supply a start frame image without supplying an end frame image?

Yes. You can supply an initial image to anchor only the start of the video, provide an end image to anchor the finish, or include both to animate a transition between them.

Can I edit text directly inside a generated video clip after rendering?

No. Rendered video pixels cannot be edited directly. To modify copy, adjust the text inside your prompt and generate a revised clip.

Is a Brand Board required to generate video or audio?

No. A Brand Board provides optional styling context such as pre-selected colors and fonts, but Ask AI generates video and audio without an active Brand Board configured.

How does Ask AI handle scripts longer than 4,000 characters?

Ask AI divides the input into manageable text blocks and renders each section as an individual inline player containing up to 4,000 characters.
