Your first published video

Path from a generated script to a private YouTube upload.

1. Connect YouTube

Open the channel page, switch to Credentials, click Connect YouTube, complete the OAuth flow. The token is stored encrypted (AES-256-GCM).

2. Generate audio

Project → Audio → pick a voice → Generate. Per-scene synthesis runs and a master audio file is produced.

3. Generate visuals

Project → Visuals → Auto-storyboard. The system picks B-roll for each scene. You can swap any scene from the panel.

4. Render

Project → Render. The GPU pipeline (or CPU fallback) assembles the final video in MP4. Once ready, the project transitions to ready_to_publish.

5. Pick a thumbnail + write metadata

Project → Thumbnails → pick a variant. Project → Metadata → review the AI-generated title, description, tags, and chapters.

6. Publish

Project → Publish → set privacy to Private for the first run, hit Publish. The publish worker uploads, sets the thumbnail, and writes chapters into the description.

The publication row tracks the upload status. On success, the YouTube video URL appears with a CTA to open it.
