How to Use vFlow: Create Your First Video

A five-step walkthrough — from script to final export.

1. Script

Start with a script

The easiest way to use vFlow is to start with dialogue.

Banana: "We need to leave."
Strawberry: "Right now?"

You can add scene descriptions if you want more creative control, but you don't have to.

Banana: "We need to leave."
(Banana rushes toward the front door.)
Strawberry: "Right now?"

vFlow will automatically break the script into scenes, shots, characters, and locations. For narration videos, just paste your script as-is.

Choose a visual style

You can use one of the built-in styles, or upload your own references. A good reference isn't necessarily a character — it's usually a screenshot from a video that has the look and feel you're after.

Think: camera style, lighting, color palette, overall vibe.

Not: "I want this exact character."

Reuse styles

If you've used a style before, you can bring it back instantly from Saved References. This is especially useful for series and recurring formats.

2. Assets

This is where consistency starts

After analyzing your script, vFlow generates references for:

  • Characters
  • Locations
  • Important objects

These references become the foundation for the rest of the video.

Check the voices

Every character gets a voice automatically. Before moving on, take a minute to listen — a small voice change here can make a huge difference later. If something feels off, you can swap it out in Voice Settings.

Refine your characters

If a character appears throughout the story, it's worth getting them right now. You can:

  • Upload your own reference image
  • Edit the prompt
  • Regenerate the character

The better your references are here, the less fixing you'll do later.

3. Story

Think like a director

Most people focus on the script. The best creators spend time on Visual Direction — this is where you tell vFlow what the camera should see.

Instead of:

Banana and Strawberry talk.

Try:

Banana stands in the middle of the room holding a necklace. Strawberry watches from the couch. The front door swings open and Apple rushes in.

The more specific the staging, the better the shots tend to be.

Understanding scenes

Each scene shows:

  • who's in it
  • where it takes place
  • how many shots it contains

Think of this page as your storyboard before production starts.

4. Shots

Review before generating

Every shot starts with an image. Before turning them into videos, quickly check:

  • characters
  • location
  • composition
  • continuity

Most issues are easier to fix here than later.

Make adjustments

Need a different character? Different location? Different composition? Use the refresh button next to the image assets and regenerate. Small changes at this stage often have a big impact.

Generate videos

Our recommendation:

  1. Review all images first
  2. Fix anything that feels off
  3. Select all
  4. Convert everything to video

This is usually much faster than generating videos one-by-one.

5. Export

Final review

Once all shots have been generated, combine them into a single video. Watch it through once before exporting — you'll often catch small continuity issues that are easy to fix.

Add finishing touches

vFlow currently focuses on video generation. Background music and sound effects can be added later in tools like:

  • Vrew
  • CapCut
  • Premiere Pro

Export

When everything looks good, hit Export. Your video is ready.
