Workflows that work

Six routes people take most, each written as the steps in order. Spark can do any of them from one sentence; the steps are what it does for you.

A 30-second promo from stills. Make or upload four to seven pictures that read as consecutive moments. Video Studio, A longer video from pictures: the pictures in order, one line a pair (or let the studio write them), 5 or 10 seconds a step. The studio makes each clip starting on the exact last frame of the one before, collects them, lays an edit out with Cut joins and makes the video. Add a title and an end card in the Editor, then Make the video again.

A product video. Product Studio: photos, the product's name, what it does, the platform and length. Approve the script, then each scene's plan, then make the clips; choose a Take per scene; Finish assembles it. Open in Editor for a logo, a lower third with a name, and the SceneRender tag off if it is a client's.

A listing walkthrough. Listing Studio, on the page: the photos in room order, the agent's name, brokerage and card. This one is worked by hand on purpose, because the details are a licensed agent's own.

A music video. Music Studio: write the song (or bring your own); Music Video: the look, up to a few reference pictures, who is in it; Plan the shots (free) and Listen along before anything is spent; make it. Shots you would rather film yourself are filled from your own footage and never charged.

A longer film with scene changes. Make the scenes as separate clips (Video Studio or Clip Studio), put them on one timeline in order, set Between every clip to Cut, then click each seam where the scenes differ and make an AI scene change with a line about the move. Make the video once every change has landed.

A brand-consistent set (Enterprise). The holder fills the brand kit once. Every seat's new text starts in the brand's face with the colours one click away, the logo sits under Brand in the media list, and Spark writes titles and end cards from the company's taglines. Ask Spark for "an end card with our tagline" and it uses the kit.
