Enter the film title and the look you're after, and AI designs the title card. Once you confirm it, the tool automatically generates an opening and an ending with music. You can download the package or create a link to share it.

Fill in the form Title card Confirm Opening, ending and music Download / Share
Example: “Harbor Lights”, opening (left) and ending (right)
Example: “Weekend Kitchen”, opening (left) and ending (right)
Example: “Night Market Beat”, opening (left) and ending (right)
Wherever the form shows a ?, hover over it (or tap it on a phone) to see a detailed explanation of that field.

Fill in the form

01Choose the scope and type

Under Scope, pick Opening only, Ending only or Full pipeline. By default the opening and ending are made together.

Type below has two options; Package is selected by default:

  • Package: AI designs a visual scheme on the fly from your Visual Style text (metal, silk, ceramic, fluid… the material follows the show), builds the title into the frame, then renders a fast fly-through lock-up video. Each opening takes about 3–6 minutes.
  • Drama: the title is set in brush calligraphy over the frame — the text is 100% accurate and the size is adjustable. The background comes from the footage or stills you upload; upload nothing and AI generates a cover from the title. The ending is a credits scroll.
Choose the scope and type

02Describe the visual styleOptional

In Visual Style (optional), describe the look you want in one sentence, for example:

Flowing liquid metal, cold blue sheen, high-speed sci-fi fly-through

Fill in the visual style
For Package, the whole visual scheme is designed from this text, so the more specific the better; leave it blank and AI can only guess from the title. For Drama with no footage uploaded, AI generates the cover from the title plus this description.

03Fill in the creditsOptional

The Credits track has 5 fixed fields: Director, Producer, Writer, Presented By and Special Thanks. You can add other crew in two ways:

  1. 1Click + Add a row, enter the role on the left (e.g. Cinematography / Art) and the name on the right. Click the × on the right to delete the row.
  2. 2Click ⤴ Upload .md list and upload a .md file with one Role: Name entry per line. Lines starting with Director, Producer, Writer, Presented By or Special Thanks fill the matching fixed fields; everything else becomes extra rows.
Fixed fields + other crew
If the credits are left blank, the two types behave differently: Package only produces the ending sting, with no credits screen; Drama fills in a randomly generated sample list — the names are made up, so enter the real credits before your final cut. When you make an opening only, this card isn't used and is greyed out.

04Fill in the film info

  • Film Title: the only required field. Until it is filled in, the generate button stays grey.
  • Aspect Ratio: 16:9 (default), 9:16, 1:1, 2.39:1, 4:3. Choose 9:16 for vertical video.
  • Opening Duration (sec): 5 seconds by default, adjustable from 4 to 15. The ending length is set automatically by the length of the credits.
Film title, aspect ratio, opening duration
When you pick a ratio other than 16:9, the page reminds you that the framing may differ from 16:9 — this is just a reminder.

05Upload a logoOptional

Click ⤴ Upload Logo and choose an image. AI checks whether the logo already spells out the full film title and shows the result within a few seconds:

  • Contains the title: your logo is used as the lock-up as is, and no separate title is designed. Package re-renders the logo in the material of your visual style; Drama places the logo over the frame and offers three placements to choose from.
  • No title: a title is designed as usual, and the logo appears alongside it as a badge (top-left for Drama, above the title for Package).
The logo is checked for the title automatically
If the result is wrong, tick This is wrong — let me correct it to fix it. White backgrounds are removed automatically; a transparent PNG works best.

06Upload feature footageOptional

Click ⤴ Upload feature footage (video or images, multiple allowed) to upload clips from your film or stills:

  • Drama: footage clips work best — frames are taken from them as the opening and ending backgrounds. Stills alone are fine too and become a slow push-in. Upload nothing and AI generates a cover from the title as the background.
  • Package: the uploads are used to analyze the overall grading and visual style.
Hover over the ? next to Feature Footage Upload to see how the background will be made this time and how long the opening and ending will each be. If an uploaded video is too short to split into an opening and an ending, the card tells you right away and the generate button is disabled until you fix it.

07Choose the music

In Music Source, the opening music and the ending music are chosen separately, each with two sources:

  • Upload music (default): click “⤴ Upload a local music file” below and upload your own audio.
  • AI generated: an instrumental piece is generated to match the final length — no file needed.
Choose a music source for the opening and the ending
If you choose Upload music but don't upload a file, the tool switches to AI generated automatically, so you will still get a finished video.

Generate and confirm

08Start generating

Once everything is filled in, the line next to the button reads “All checks passed — you can start generating.” Click Generate Opening / Ending → to open the workspace.

Click “Generate Opening / Ending →”
Generating images, video and AI music are real calls and are charged to your credits; regenerating is charged again. Your current credits are shown in the top bar — click “Top up” to add more.

09Confirm the title card

AI first designs the title card, and the run pauses here for your confirmation. Package produces two images:

  • First frame · opening scene: the picture the opening video starts from.
  • Last frame · lock-up: the picture where the title finally settles. It is already selected (ticked in the top-right corner).
Title Card Design: first frame + lock-up
  1. 1Click an image or the ⤢ in its top-right corner to view it larger; use ‹ › or the arrow keys to page through.
  2. 2If one image isn't right, click ↻ New first frame or ↻ New lock-up in its top-left corner to redo just that one.
  3. 3To redo the whole set, click ⟲ Regenerate All.
  4. 4When you're happy, click ✓ Confirm & Continue.

Drama offers three candidates with different layouts (or three placements of your logo, if it already contains the title). Click the circle in the top-right corner of the one you like; to redo a single candidate, click ↻ New layout in its top-left corner.

Nothing after this step starts until you click “Confirm & Continue”. If you close the page, the run waits at this step until you come back to confirm.

10Wait for automatic generation

After you confirm, the remaining steps run automatically in order: Opening Video → Opening Music → Ending Video → Ending Music → Composite & Export. The steps run along the timeline at the top, and the top bar shows “x / 6 steps” with a progress bar.

Top-bar progress + step list
StepTypical time
Opening / ending video (AI-generated)2–5 minutes each
AI music1–3 minutes each
Local compositing for Drama (footage or stills uploaded)A few seconds to a few tens of seconds
The task runs in the background — closing the page won't stop it. Click ☰ Run History in the top bar at any time to come back. When many tasks are waiting, the line under the title shows “Queued — n task(s) ahead”.

Results

11Preview and redo single steps

Each step can be played right on the page as soon as it's done. If one step isn't right, redo only that step:

  • ↻ Recomposite: recomposite with the same background clip — done in seconds, no new video is generated.
  • ⟳ Regenerate video: generate a new clip with a different camera move (about 2–5 minutes, charged).
  • ↻ New music: redo just this piece of music.
Preview the opening, ending and music on the page

If a step fails, ⟲ Retry This Step and ⑂ Rerun Downstream From Here appear — just follow the prompt to retry.

12Download the package

When all steps are done, ⬇ Download Package appears in the top bar. Click it to save the result to your computer.
