Apply a creator template

Complete creator workflows in one command — TikTok, podcast clips, UGC ads, product demos, cinematic stories, and music cutdowns. Step-by-step.

One command applies a complete creative treatment: canvas size, style, captions, pacing, and overlays. Perfect for common video formats.

Available templates

| Template | Format | Best for | |----------|--------|----------| | tiktok-highlight | 9:16 vertical | Viral social clips, highlights | | podcast-clip | 9:16 vertical | Talking-head content, podcasts | | ugc-ad | 9:16 vertical | Direct-response ads, hooks | | product-demo | 16:9 landscape | Tutorials, walkthroughs | | cinematic-story | 16:9 or 2.39:1 | Documentaries, narratives | | music-cutdown | 9:16 vertical | Beat edits, gaming, music |

How to apply a template

Step 1: Open the Agent panel

Click "Agent" in the top-right header
Panel opens on the left side

Step 2: Request template

Type one of these:

TikTok:

"Apply the TikTok highlight template"

Podcast:

"Apply the podcast clip template"

UGC ad:

"Make this a UGC ad"

Product demo:

"Turn this into a product demo"

Cinematic:

"Apply cinematic story template"

Music:

"Apply music cutdown template for beat edits"

Step 3: Wait for processing

The agent applies multiple changes:

Sets canvas — changes aspect ratio
Reframes — smart crops to new format
Applies style — color grade and effects
Generates captions — if audio present
Adds hooks/CTAs — if template defines them

You'll see: "Applying template..." → "Setting canvas..." → "Reframing..." → "Done"

Step 4: Review

Play the preview. Check:

Framing — faces/products centered?
Colors — style matches your vision?
Captions — text readable?
Pacing — feels right for the format?

Tips

Apply template early — sets canvas; everything after adapts
Undo if wrong — Cmd/Ctrl+Z reverts all template changes
Save as recipe — after customizing, save for reuse
Match to platform — TikTok template for Reels/Shorts too

Troubleshooting

| Issue | Fix | |-------|-----| | Wrong canvas size | Template sets its default; ask "set canvas to 16:9" to override | | Captions too bold | Ask "switch caption skin to minimal-clean" | | Reframe cut off face | Ask "reframe with face focus" | | Style too strong | Ask "lighten style" or switch style pack | | Template missing CTA | Some templates include CTA; others don't. Add manually: "Add CTA overlay" |
