The Autopilot tab (Short Automation) is the core feature of nQivi Studio. It automates the entire video creation pipeline: generating scripts, storyboards, voiceovers, background music, stock footage, subtitling, and watermarks in a single run. The configuration workflow is divided into 6 steps.

🎬 Gaining Mastery Over the 6 Setup Steps

​
Step 1: Input / Output

Configure the baseline settings for your video batch:
  • Number of videos: The quantity of videos you want to generate in this queue.
  • Aspect ratio: Select 9:16 Portrait (for Shorts, Reels, TikTok), 16:9 Landscape (YouTube), or 1:1 Square (Instagram).
  • Expected duration: Set the target duration (e.g. 30s, 60s, or custom limits).
  • Video Quality: Set resolution presets (720p, 1080p).
  • Custom Output Folder: Pick a specific folder path on your drive where results will be organized.
  • Metadata: Enable Auto-gen metadata to let the AI draft SEO titles, targeting keywords, tags, and description chapters.

​
Step 2: Script

This step defines the topic and narration style:
  • Video Language: Choose the output language of the video narration.
  • Type of videos: Select custom topics, URLs, or Reddit content templates.
  • Subject / Idea: Enter a prompt or topic description (e.g. β€œ3 interesting facts about the ocean”).
  • Create outline / Get ideas: Generate multiple conceptual variations before writing the full script.
  • Script Textbox: View or manually edit the script. Use AI helper buttons to Reword, Summarize, Translate, Shorten, or Extend your text.

​
Step 3: Audio

Choose the voice and music for your content:
  • Text to speech engine (TTS): Select a provider (EdgeTTS, MiniMax, Gemini, ElevenLabs, OpenAI).
  • TTS Speed: Scale speech velocity from 0.7x to 1.2x.
  • Voice Selector & Samples: Listen to samples of voices and select the speaker. If using dialogue-style content, toggle Auto assign voices to distribute roles among multiple speakers.
  • Background Audio: Select background tracks from the Asset Library or upload your own audio files. Adjust the background volume level (typically 5% - 15%).
  • Sound Effects & Transitions: Configure transition audio and automatic sound effects.

​
Step 4: Media

Determine the visual content:
  • Edit with images/footage: Enable this to add media.
  • Visual Style: Choose between Image (Bing search/AI), Video (Pexels/YouTube search), or Mixed modes.
  • Image/Video Sources: Use Pexels stocks, Bing search, or AI models (Freepik, Fal.ai) to generate visuals.
  • AI Model Quality: Adjust quality levels (low, medium, high) and duration of generated clips.
  • Browser Automation: Allows using browser-driven searches for stock sourcing (useful in God Mode).

​
Step 5: Captions

Customize your subtitles:
  • Use Captions: Toggle subtitle generation.
  • Caption Style & Font: Select standard layouts, customized borders, colors, text highlighting, and paragraph sizing.
  • Number of words per line: Choose word constraints to fit your screen size.
  • Texting Style: Enable a messaging or bubble chat format (perfect for dialogue or Reddit threads).
  • SRT files: Export subtitle files (Plus feature) or upload your own custom .srt file (Pro feature).

​
Step 6: Advanced

Add final touches:
  • Add Text: Set custom watermark text, select fonts, choose animations, and configure speed.
  • Greenscreen Animations: Insert green screen assets (such as subscribe buttons) with chroma key settings (color, similarity, blend).
  • Overlays: Insert visual effects like moving frames or live audiowaves.

πŸ–₯️ Checking Results & Editing

The right-hand side of the Autopilot tab provides real-time review interfaces:
  • Preview: Render a quick preview of your active video project before building the final file.
  • Gallery: Browse through images and footage scraped or generated by the script.
  • Editor: A built-in timeline editor where you can adjust scene start times, replace clips, edit subtitle text, and fine-tune rendering.
