Every Izy Studio video opens in an editor. The scenes, text, and sounds sit on the timeline. In the panels, you add what's missing, and Izy makes any changes you ask for.
Where to find it in Cognizy
Before you start
- Have a video created in .
- Auto captions, narration, and AI soundtrack use credits. The cost shows on each button.
Step by step
- Step 1:
In , click the video. The editor opens with the preview in the center and the timeline below. At the top, choose the format: 9:16, 1:1 or 16:9.
- Step 2:
The left panel holds what goes into the video. In Files, upload photos, videos, and sounds. Library offers ready-made images and videos. Text, Graphics and Elements add titles, animations, and shapes.
- Step 3:
Open Audio to take care of the sound. Narration turns text into voice, AI Soundtrack composes a song that fits the video's mood, Sound effects marks the transitions, and Upload sound brings in your own audio.
- Step 4:
Open Caption. Auto caption turns the speech from an uploaded video into captions. The option just below creates a caption you write yourself, at the playhead's position.
- Step 5:
In the right panel, Edit shows the options for the selected item, Script shows the video's text scene by scene, and Izy takes your requests, like shortening the video or changing the beginning.
- Step 6:
Once everything's ready, click Export.
- Step 7:
In the Export video window, choose the formats and check the review points. The build button generates the final file for you to download and publish, and shows the cost in credits. Once the video is built, the window also shows the cover and the Use in post button.
