Open the [Contouron AI Agent](https://my.contouron.com/agent) 2. Describe what you want (e.g., "make a 60-second video about the history of coffee") 3. The AI Agent generates your video using your Brand Kit for on-brand copywriting and visuals 4. Chat with the AI to make changes -- update text, swap images, change styles, add voiceover Set up your Brand Kit in Settings > My Brand first for the best results. You can also create visuals directly in Claude Code and Antigravity: [Watch tutorial](https://youtu.be/3HVH2Iuplqo) Examples of 100M+ views faceless AI videos made in Contouron: #### Why does my video look like static images? The AI Agent (and the first "Create Everything with AI Agent" template) generates **static images by default** because they cost fewer credits and render faster. To turn them into animated video clips: * **Before creating:** click "Need more customization? Click to see advanced options" and turn on the toggle to convert all AI images into video clips. * **After creating:** open the video in the editor, click a green image clip, then click "Create Animated Image" in the left panel to animate the clips you choose. Full steps: How do you animate still images into video clips? ### Option B: Manual Template For more control over each scene, use a template directly: 1. Go to [Videos > New](https://my.contouron.com/videos/new) 2. Select the "AI Video with AI voice" template 3. Paste your script into the Prompt field. Here's an example: > Morpheus: "This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill—the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill—you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes." > > Neo chooses the red pill, opting to uncover the truth about the Matrix 5. Click "Generate Video" below the Prompt field. 6. Your video opens in the full-screen editor. This is where you preview and customize your video. 7. Next, you'll see the Contouron video editor, populated with cheap AI images, based on your script. 8. I recommend storyboarding with cheap images, then finalize your video with high-quality images, then click "Create Animated Image" to convert it into video clips. Video clips cost more credits than static images, and it takes several minutes to generate the video clips. 9. To choose a voice, click on the BLUE caption track. It will open the "Captions" panel on the left. Click "Voice" where you can see all the 11labs voices.
10. After the AI voice is generated, you will probably need to align your image/video tracks with the AI voice captions. Click on your image or video track, then click "Align to Captions": 11. When you're done, click "Export Video" to create the final MP4 video. You can download it or publish it directly to social platforms via Contouron. Click "Download" to download the video as MP4. Click "Create Post" to make a new Tiktok post from your video. Then click "Clone" if you want to copy it to Instagram, Youtube, etc.
