Training & Brand Integration
Enhance your videos with workspace training data and brand settings for brand-consistent, contextually informed video content.
Use Training
Enable this to incorporate your workspace's training data into video generation.
What Training Data Includes:
- Text Content: Custom text you've added about your brand/business
- Uploaded Files: PDF, Word, and other documents with brand information
- Website Content: Scraped content from your website URLs
- Q&A Pairs: Specific questions and answers about your brand
- Google Docs: Documents linked from your Google Drive
- Notion Pages: Content from your integrated Notion workspace
How It Works:
- Training data must first be assigned to Video Gen BV in Workspace Training
- When enabled, the AI uses this knowledge to understand your brand context
- Improves video prompt interpretation based on your brand's specific terminology
- Helps generate videos aligned with your brand's visual and messaging style
- Provides context the AI wouldn't have from the prompt alone
- Influences scene composition, subject matter, and narrative elements
When to Use:
- Generating brand-specific video content
- Creating product demo videos (AI knows your products from training)
- Making industry-specific content (AI understands your sector)
- Ensuring consistency with your brand documentation
- Producing videos that reference company-specific information
Setup Required:
- Navigate to Workspace Settings → Training
- Add training content (text, files, web links, Q&A, Google Docs, Notion)
- Assign training data to "Video Gen BV" using the assignment modal
- Training data is then available when this toggle is enabled
Use Brand Settings
Enable this to apply your workspace's brand profile to video generation.
What Brand Settings Include:
Brand Basics:
- Company name and description
- Brand colors (primary color)
- Logo/visual identity
Brand Personality:
- Brand archetype (Hero, Creator, Explorer, Sage, Jester, Everyman)
- Personality traits (Friendly, Professional, Bold, etc.)
- Tone of voice (Formal, Conversational, Witty, Inspirational, Empathetic)
Market Position:
- Business model (B2B, B2C, Marketplace, etc.)
- Target audience (Gen Z, Millennials, Executives, etc.)
- Unique selling proposition
Brand Messaging:
- Core values (Integrity, Excellence, Innovation, etc.)
- Customer emotions (Trust, Joy, Inspiration, etc.)
- Tagline and brand story
How It Works:
- The AI retrieves your workspace brand settings
- Brand colors influence the color theme and visual palette
- Brand personality guides the video style, pacing, and mood
- Target audience informs scene composition and appeal
- Core values ensure generated videos align with brand values
- Tone of voice influences motion, camera work, and overall feel
When to Use:
- Creating brand-consistent video content
- Ensuring videos match your brand personality and tone
- Maintaining visual identity across generated videos
- Automatically applying brand colors to video scenes
- Producing videos that resonate with your target audience
Setup Required:
- Navigate to Brand Settings (4 sections: Basics, Personality, Market, Messaging)
- Complete your brand profile (name, colors, personality, values, etc.)
- Brand settings automatically apply when this toggle is enabled
Both features are optional and can be used independently or together. Using both provides the most brand-aligned, contextually accurate video results. Training provides knowledge while brand settings guide tone and style.
