Setup

Sign in to the workspace where you will create the draft.
Review your footage and decide whether it already has usable speech, needs narration, or should become a music-led edit.
Have your source videos ready to upload or already available in Source Videos. For Narrated Story, have a voice profile ready. For Trending Sounds, know which trend you want to use.

Step by step

1. Open Projects

Go to Projects in the sidebar and click Create project.

The Bevyl Projects page with the Create project button

2. Choose the format

On the What video format would you like to use? screen, choose Narrated Story, Trending Sounds, or Talking Head based on the audio path you want Bevyl to use.

Clicking Create project opens the format selection screen

Use the audio path as the narrow decision point:

If your draft should use...	Choose...	What Bevyl does
Narration over product shots, process clips, or b-roll	`Narrated Story`	Scripts and generates a voiceover for your raw footage
A music-led or trend-led edit	`Trending Sounds`	Aligns your raw footage to a trending sound
Someone already speaking on camera	`Talking Head`	Retains the spoken dialogue from your raw footage

The format also sets the generated draft length guidance:

Format	Draft length guidance
`Narrated Story`	15-45 seconds
`Trending Sounds`	4-30 seconds
`Talking Head`	15-60 seconds

3. Continue to inputs

After choosing a format, click Next step to open the input step.

The format selection screen showing Narrated Story, Trending Sounds, and Talking Head options

Select at least one source video, then complete the extra choice for your format:

Narrated Story: select a voice profile.
Talking Head: keep the original video audio.
Trending Sounds: select a trend.

Click Next step when it becomes available.

If something blocks you

No format feels right: choose by the audio path you want Bevyl to use, not by channel alone.
Next step is disabled: select at least one source video, then finish the required voice or trend selection for the format.

Done

You are done when the create flow advances to the prompt step for the format you selected.
