How to Make an AI Video in Interlace, Step by Step

Click Create in the left sidebar. The composer in the middle has two modes. Prompt starts from a description. Document starts from a file you already have, such as a PDF, a Word file or a slide deck. This guide uses Prompt; for files, read the document-to-video guide.

Type what the video is about. A sentence or two is enough. Say who it is for and the points it must make, in the order you want them. Interlace plans the scenes from this.

Stuck for a first line? The Product explainer, Training video and Marketing promo buttons above the composer fill in a starting prompt, and there are more under Or start from a prompt.

Click the style button in the row under your prompt. It shows the current style's name. Hover over any style in the list and a sample plays on the right. The style sets how every scene is drawn, so pick the one that suits your audience. We picked Paper Collage.

Custom styles you have made live under My Styles. To compare all of them in motion first, see every Interlace video style.

Click the voice button next to the style. Press the play button beside any voice to hear it, then click the one you want. The button next to it sets the language of the narration.

The next three buttons set the length, the shape and the resolution. For a first video, keep it short: we chose 15s. Use 16:9 for screens and slide decks, and 9:16 for phones.

Two optional settings sit on the row below. Narration sets the pace: Fast speeds up the voice and the cuts, and is offered on short videos. Music adds a background track.

Leave Review script switched on. Interlace then writes the script and the scene plan first and waits for you, so nothing is drawn until you have read every line.

The line under the composer shows the project the video saves to. Click Change to pick another. Then press the arrow button.

Once the script is written, you see Shape the story before we build it. Each card is one scene: a title and the exact words the narrator will say, with a word count and a length estimate. The outline on the left lists every scene.

Click into a card and type to rewrite it. The buttons under each card rewrite that scene for you: Polish tidies the wording, Shorten cuts it down, and Add detail expands it. Attach image adds your own picture to the scene.

To change the whole video at once, use Direct the whole story on the right. Type something like "Use a warmer, conversational tone" and press Ask AI.

When the story reads the way you want, press Approve and continue.

Interlace now draws each scene in your style and records the narration. The cards fill in one by one, and the counter at the top right shows how many scenes are done and how long it has been running. Our 15 second video took about two minutes.

When every scene is ready, the editor opens with your first scene on the canvas. Press Play video under the scene strip to watch it from the start. The strip shows every scene with its length, and the timeline below it lines up the narration, word by word, with each part of the picture.

Nothing is final yet. The left column opens on Chat, a chat with the editor; the Scene and Video tabs next to it hold the settings you can change by hand. Type what should change, such as "Make scene 2 shorter" or "Warmer voice", and send it. You can also start from the suggestions above the box.

To point at one thing, press Select under the canvas (or V) and click the part of the scene you mean, then say what to do with it.

Click Export at the top right. Keep MP4 video selected and pick the resolution and frame rate. Under Render on, This device builds the file in your browser; keep the tab open until it finishes. Interlace servers builds it for you and saves it with the video, so you can close the tab.

Press Download and the MP4 lands in your downloads folder.
