Generate a shot in an edit

Missing a shot? Choose Generate on the editor’s left to make one without leaving the edit. Your credits left show at the top of the panel.

1. Choose Video, Image or Sound (a voiceover).
2. Pick a model. Under its name is what it costs.
3. Write the Prompt: describe the shot. Type @ to bring in one of your elements, such as a character or product. For Sound, type the words to say.
4. For video, choose the Length: 3s, 5s or 10s.
5. Choose how many Takes to make: 1, 2 or 3.
6. Move the playhead to where the shot should go, then choose Generate. The button shows the total credits.

Shots come out in the edit’s shape, and video comes with sound. Each take lands at the playhead when it’s ready, on a free track, so takes don’t cover your other clips. You can keep editing while they’re made.

If you don’t have enough credits, nothing starts and Shotz shows you ways to get more. If a take fails, its credits come back.

After it lands

Click the new clip to see its prompt and model in the Clip panel. From there you can make another take, try it on a different model, or fix it. See Change a clip.

Talking avatars need a photo and a voice track, so they’re made from Create or the UGC ad tool rather than here.
