Overview

Themes revolutionize video creation by using AI to automatically categorize scenes and apply dynamic design layouts, eliminating the monotonous look of traditional videos while bringing content to life with engaging visual variety.

What are Themes?

Themes leverage advanced AI technology to analyze your video content and automatically:

  • Categorize scenes into distinct types (Title, List, Numbers, Quotes, Emphasis, Default)

  • Apply optimized layouts that match each scene's purpose

  • Extract and populate key elements from your content to create visually compelling presentations

Instead of manually designing each scene, Themes intelligently transforms your script into a diverse, professional-looking video with varied design elements that capture viewer attention.

Follow this step-by-step guide to transform your ideas into a great video

  1. For best results create a script that contains lists, statistics and quotes

  2. After submitting your script, you will see an option to select a theme. You can hover over the themes to see a preview. Pick one or none to not use a theme

  3. Thats it. You will land on the storyboard with the best layouts for each scene applied

  4. You can edit these scenes as usual

  5. You can also switch layouts from the Layouts Sub Menu on the Storyboard

Important Considerations

AI Limitations

Smart Templates uses probabilistic AI technology, meaning results may vary between identical scripts. This creates unique, diverse outputs but isn't deterministic.

Fallback Options

When AI categorization doesn't meet expectations, you can:

  • Manually adjust scene categories

  • Select different layouts within categories

  • Edit extracted content elements

  • You cannot remove a theme, once applied. However, you can start afresh and select none as the theme
