# Video

> Turn your images or make videos from scratch, generated by Julius.

Julius can **generate and edit video directly from a prompt**. Describe what you want — a script, product demo, a story, a restyle of an existing clip — and Julius builds it. You don't need separate software or manual editing.

***

## Creating a video

Go to the **Video** tab, select the type of video generation you want, and edit the prompt based on your preference. Video generation works best when you're specific about the format and content:

> Make a 15-second video of a sunset over the ocean

> Turn this photo into a slow zoom-in animation

> Extend this clip by 5 more seconds

Julius builds the video and shows it inline. Open it in the side panel to preview, download, or publish.

## Types of video generation

Julius supports several video generation modes, depending on what you're starting from:

* **Text to video** — generate a video directly from a written prompt or script
* **Image to video** — animate a static image into a moving clip
* **Video editing** — trim, adjust, or modify an existing video
* **Video extension** — extend an existing clip further in time
* **Cinematic sequences** — generate multi-shot, story-driven video sequences
* **Video restyling** — apply a new visual style or aesthetic to existing footage
* **Synced audio** — generate video with audio (dialogue, music, or sound effects) synced to the visuals
* **High definition** — generate output in high-resolution quality

## Prompting tips

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Describe the scene, mood, and pacing" icon="film">
    Set the tone up front so Julius knows what feel you're after:

    > A calm, slow-paced drone shot over a foggy forest at sunrise
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Point at a reference" icon="image">
    If you're editing or restyling, reference the image or clip you want Julius to start from.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Name the length and format" icon="ruler">
    Say how long and what shape you want:

    > A 15-second clip, vertical video for Instagram Stories
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Iterate shot by shot" icon="clapperboard">
    For longer sequences, refine one shot at a time instead of regenerating the whole thing.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Ideas to try

* **Product demos**: turn a product description into a short promotional video
* **Social content**: generate short-form video for social media posts
* **Brand sequences**: create cinematic intros or brand story videos
* **Content restyling**: reimagine existing footage in a new visual style
