AI Video Generation

StarZero Agents can generate video clips from text descriptions using AI. Describe a scene — the action, camera movement, style, and mood — and StarZero Agents will create a video clip (3–10 seconds) you can add to your timeline. Generated videos include AI-generated audio (dialogue, sound effects, ambient sound), so they arrive ready to use.

It also works on videos you already have: restyle a clip into a completely new look, edit something in it, or extend it past its ending.

Generating a Video from a Prompt

Describe the scene you want:

"Generate a cinematic aerial shot flying over a misty mountain range at sunrise"

"Create a close-up of coffee being poured into a ceramic mug, warm lighting, shallow depth of field"

"Make a tracking shot following a person walking through a neon-lit city street at night"

StarZero Agents generates the video and displays a preview directly in the chat. You can play it back before deciding to add it to your project. Below the preview you'll find controls to copy the video URL or download the video file.

Each video gets a short, descriptive title, like "Cat on a skateboard" or "Pop art restyle of Intro". The title appears under the preview in chat, and it's also the video's name in your library, so it's easy to find later.

Tips for Good Prompts

The quality of your prompt directly affects the result. Be specific:

• Camera motion — "dolly forward", "tracking shot", "aerial", "handheld", "slow push-in"
• Style — "cinematic", "film noir", "documentary", "sci-fi", "stop motion"
• Composition — "wide shot", "close-up", "over-the-shoulder", "portrait framing"
• Lens effects — "shallow depth of field", "macro lens", "fisheye"
• Lighting and mood — "warm golden hour", "blue-toned night", "high contrast", "soft diffused"
• Subject and action — Be precise about what's happening and how it moves

Important: Avoid negative language like "no", "don't", or "without" — the AI tends to ignore negatives. Instead of "a room without furniture", say "an empty room with bare walls and hardwood floors."

Generating Video from an Image

You can provide an image as a reference, and the AI will animate it into video. This is great for bringing still images to life:

"Generate a video starting from this image" (with an image URL)

"Animate this photo — have the camera slowly push in"

"Turn this product shot into a video with a gentle rotation"

The starting image can be anything — a photo from your library, a generated image, or an extracted frame from another video. For best results, use high-resolution images and describe the camera move and the subject's motion in detail — "make it move" produces little.

Interpolating Between Two Images

You can provide two images to use as the first and last frame. The AI will generate a smooth video that moves from one to the other:

"Generate a video that starts with this image and ends with this image — create a smooth camera pan between them"

This is useful for creating transitions, time-lapses, or connecting two shots with a generated in-between.

Generating New Footage from References

When you want brand-new footage that borrows the style, subject, or setting of existing material, pass references alongside your prompt:

"Generate a wide shot of this character walking through a park" (with a character reference image)

"Create a shot in the same visual style as this clip"

"Take the look of that intro clip from my library and generate a new shot of a city skyline"

You can use up to 10 references per generation, mixing images and video clips. Up to 3 of them can be video clips, and each clip contributes at most 3 seconds — you (or StarZero Agents) can pick which 3 seconds to use.

When using multiple references, refer to them by position in your prompt, and say what each one contributes and what must appear in the result — for example, "animate the character from the first image in the style of the second reference." The AI only carries over what your prompt asks for.

This is also the way to keep several independent shots consistent — same character, same style, same setting — by giving each generation the same references.

Restyling a Video

Restyling repaints every frame of an existing video in a completely new look, while the camera movement, cuts, timing, people, and audio stay exactly as they are. It's a great way to turn a talking-head clip into eye-catching social content.

"Restyle my intro clip as pop art"

"Turn the first 10 seconds of this interview into anime"

"Restyle that video as 16-bit pixel art, and keep the logo in the corner"

Any captions burned into the footage are removed, and decorations that match the new style (sparkles, shapes, ornaments) are animated in around the speaker. The restyled video is the same length as the clip you give it, up to 10 seconds. Pick a different 10-second section to restyle other parts of a longer video.

Preset Styles

StarZero Agents has a set of ready-made styles, tuned for footage with a person on camera:

Style	The look
Pop art	A 1960s silkscreen print in flat, bold colour blocks
Neon light painting	Everything redrawn as glowing neon tubes on black
Psychedelia	A 1960s psychedelic concert poster with swirling, vibrating colours
Liquid chrome	A glossy Y2K render where everything turns to mirror-polished metal
Swiss style	A clean, grid-based 1960s design poster with halftone imagery
Slit-scan glitch	A split frame with motion smeared into streaks
Anime	Hand-painted 1990s anime film animation
Bauhaus	A 1920s geometric poster in primary colours
Art deco	A 1920s poster of gold and black geometry and sunbursts
Balloon art	The subject rebuilt as a twisted balloon sculpture
Y2K streetwear poster	A cool-toned photo poster on worn, creased paper
Cyberpunk	Acid-yellow and magenta graphics with digital glitches
Tonal deboss	The scene pressed into white paper, shown only through light and shadow
Surreal photo collage	The scene floating as an island in an open blue sky
Maximalism	A dense, clashing collage of patterns, stickers, and doodles
Golden hour relight	A realistic relight to dramatic sunset light — the footage stays photographic
16-bit pixel art	Chunky pixels, like a retro console game
80s city-pop print	A sunny 1980s Japanese poster illustration
Comic ink over 3D	Comic-book inking and halftone dots over a 3D-looking scene

You can add adjustments to any preset ("keep the logo in the corner", "make the background calmer"), or skip the presets entirely and describe your own look:

"Restyle this clip as a 1970s travel poster in faded oranges and teals"

Editing a Video

You can change something in an existing video while keeping its motion, cuts, timing, and audio. This works on videos you just generated, clips from your library, and rendered videos (up to 10 seconds at a time). Describe only the change:

"Change the lighting to golden hour"

"Add falling snow to that video"

"Remove the coffee cup from the table in this clip"

The edited video keeps the length of the original. You can also ask for a different framing — for example, "make that video vertical" to reframe it for 9:16.

Edits can build on each other: after generating or editing a video, keep asking for changes, and each new version starts from the previous one. This is much faster than regenerating from scratch when you're close to what you want but need adjustments.

For a change to the whole look of the footage, use restyling instead.

Extending a Video

To make a longer continuous shot, ask StarZero Agents to continue a video past its end. Each extension adds 3–10 seconds and keeps the subject, style, and motion going. Describe what happens next:

"Generate a clip of a spaceship approaching a planet"

"Now extend it — the spaceship lands and the hatch opens"

"Continue that shot for another 5 seconds as the camera pulls back"

An extension picks up from the last 10 seconds of the video (or any 10-second section you choose), and the extended clip plays that section followed by the new footage — so one extension gives you a clip of up to 20 seconds. You can extend a generated video, a clip from your library, or a rendered video.

For an even longer shot, keep extending the latest result, up to 40 seconds in total. StarZero Agents lines the pieces up on your timeline so the shot plays through without repeating itself.

Controlling Audio

Generated videos always include audio. You control what the audio sounds like through your prompt:

• Dialogue — Use quotation marks: "The character says 'That's incredible'"
• Sound effects — Describe them explicitly: "tires screeching, glass shattering"
• Ambient sound — Describe the environment: "quiet forest with birds chirping"

Restyled videos keep the original audio untouched.

When adding a generated clip to your project, decide whether to keep the audio based on how you're using the clip:

• Keep audio when characters speak, when sound effects add value, or when ambient sound enhances the scene
• Mute audio when the clip is purely visual (b-roll, transitions) or when you'll add your own voiceover or music

"Add that video to the timeline with audio muted"

"Add the generated clip and keep its audio"

Creative Modes

Beyond basic text-to-video and image-to-video, StarZero Agents has specialized prompting techniques for more ambitious projects:

• Restyling — Repaint existing footage in one of the preset styles or a look you describe. Great for turning talking-head clips into viral social content.

• Script-to-video — Provide a script and a reference video whose style you want to match. StarZero Agents breaks the script into scenes and generates footage for each one in the reference's style.

• From stills — Generate still images first, then animate them. Useful for intro cards, b-roll cutaways, logo animations, and other shots that don't need live footage behind them.

Just describe what you want and StarZero Agents will use the right approach:

"Restyle my video as a pop-art print"

"Generate footage for this script in the style of this reference video"

"Create an animated intro card for my channel"

Using Generated Videos in Your Project

Generated videos work like any other clip on your timeline:

"Add that generated video to the end of my project"

"Insert the generated clip between the second and third clips"

You can trim them, adjust their audio volume, reposition them, and add keyframe animations — just like library clips.

Credit Cost

Video generation costs credits based on duration. StarZero Agents will show you the estimated cost and ask for your approval before generating. For restyles and edits, the cost follows the length of the clip you give it; for extensions, it follows the length of the whole extended clip — the section of the original it continues from plus the new footage.

Great Uses for Generated Video

• B-roll — Fill gaps in your footage with matching visuals
• Intros and outros — Create cinematic opening or closing shots
• Transitions — Generate connecting shots between scenes
• Concept visualization — Bring ideas to life before filming
• Stock footage replacement — Generate exactly the shot you need instead of searching stock libraries
• Creative effects — Produce surreal, stylized, or impossible shots that can't be filmed
• Restyled content — Transform existing footage into an eye-catching new look
• Iterative refinement — Generate a base video and tweak it through follow-up edits until it's exactly right
