Easy to use video editing suite helps design teams work faster

The StyleForge Video Editor is an advanced video editor that has a very simple interface to abstract the complexities of video editing while still giving you all the advanced features you might find in products like Adobe Premier or CapCut. We developed the video rendering flow in StyleForge to let artists create designs on artboards (Infinite Canvas or Video Canvas projects) and have the freedom of designing without a timeline. This is a faster, more organic visual process than trying to design in a traditional video editor. Once you create a scene design on a canvas project, you render it into the StyleForge Video Editor. We basically convert vector shapes, video and image elements into a format that works for video editing, and capture the animation for each element so you can avoid using keyframes and complex timeline sequences. This canvas-to-video workflow is built to help speed up production of short-form training videos, video presentations and making social media ads where the power and complexity of full-blown video editors slow down the process.

Create a new infinite canvas project that has video artboards. For example, under the Social Media section of the start page, click on Instagram Video Reels. This will create 3 new video scenes sized at 9:16 for Instagram. Each will be connected together as nodes. Each artboard in the node is a scene. The first artboard represents scene one, and so forth. Add design elements to the video artboard (text, videos, graphics, etc). You can also set images or videos as the background on any video artboard by selecting and right clicking on the image/video and choosing Make Artboard Background from the context menu. Once you have created each video scene like you want it, click the Render Scenes button on the artboard menu (the small menu that floats above each artboard when it is selected). After you click on the Render Scenes button, you will see a modal that asks you to select the video or background you want to have show up for the scene. If you have an artboard background image you can add animation to it using the Ken Burns settings, and choose an animation style that applies to it (i.e. zoom in or zoom out, pan and move, etc) and the duration that the scene lasts. You can then go to step two where you can generate narrations (generative AI audio) using voice actors or generate music (short songs or background music) or upload audio/music of your own. You can skip this step if you don't need narration or music. The last step on this modal asks you to name the video project if you want. A default name is provided for you. You have two choices of the type of editor UI you want to open up: Scene Cards or Timeline mode. Scene Cards abstract all elements on the scene into a single card view. the Timeline mode shows each element on the scene as part of a timeline track that lets you adjust individual elements (more advanced). Once you are ready, click the Open StyleForge editor button and the project is rendered into our StyleForge Video Editor. You can then generate videos and variations for A/B testing.

The Video Canvas is setup with an easy to use timeline, audio generation and AI Avatar workflows. Use the Video Canvas projects if you know you want to always create videos that have animated elements, audio and video on them. You will be shown scene cards at the bottom of the timeline for each video artboard in the project. Add design elements to the scene (i.e. text, shapes, images or videos) and when you have all the scenes ready, click the purple Render button on the timeline. This opens up the modal where you can customize and add additional content to the video such as music or narration that spans the length of the entire video and runs across all scenes. You can choose to open up the StyleForge Video Editor using Scene Cards or in the Timeline model (more advanced as it shows each element in the scene on a traditional timeline track allowing for granular adjustments). Click the Open Editor button when you are ready to open your project up for final adjustments, captioning video and audio, making A/B variations and rendering.

Yes, we offer a fast and easy video/audio captioning system that using generative AI to analyze the audio from a video or an audio file, and makes captions that are placed on the timeline. These will show text captions as the video/audio plays. To create a caption select a video or audio track on the timeline and you will see an orange Caption video or Caption audio button. Click on this and in a few seconds, the caption will appear over the top of the scene. You can customize the look of the caption by first selecting it on the timeline then clicking on the Caption Presets tray on the top right of the editor. We offer 22 styles of captions with different color options. You can change the style of font and further adjust the letter spacing, alignment, line height or font size of the captions using controls that show up when the caption is selected.

Yes, at the top of the StyleForge Video Editor you will see buttons that allow you to upload images, videos or audio files from your desktop. These will appear on the project in the timeline where you have the playhead at when you import them. You can then resize and adjust properties for each new asset once it is imported into the project.

Yes, when you have a video project open in the editor, you will see an orange + Brand Assets button at the top of the editor. Click on this and it opens up an Add Brand Assets modal that allows you to select the brand kit you want (if you have multiple brands or clients, you can choose the kit to pull the content from). You can also choose to filter the type of assets you want to add from the brand kit by clicking on: Show Videos, Show UGC Content, Show Lip-Sync and Video Templates. Video Templates are a feature we are working on where you will be able to add in preset elements that have animation on them.

Yes, we built into the StyleForge Video Editor the ability to add generative AI narration (select the voice, enter a text-to-audio script or record your voice and use the voice-changer feature to have a voice actor dub your recording). You can also generate music, generate new images (Seedream 4) or videos (Veo 3). The new assets will be added to the video project once created.

At the top of the video editor, when you are working with a Scene card view, you will see an orange + Scenes button. Click on this and a new modal will open up letting you pick a background color (solid or gradient), or select a background image from a brand kit. You can also select a background video for the scene. If you choose to add a background image you will see a Ken Burns menu show up at the top of the modal. This lets you animate the new image. There is also a Duration option at the top of the modal that sets the duration of the new scene you are adding.
