Training & Brand Settings
Leverage your workspace's training data and brand profile for more contextual, brand-aligned video generation.
Training Data Integration
Training data provides the AI with deep knowledge about your brand, products, and industry for more informed video generation.
Training Data Types:
- Text content and documents (PDF, Word, etc.)
- Website content from URL scraping
- Q&A pairs about your brand
- Google Docs and Notion pages
Assignment System:
- Training data must be assigned to "Video Gen BV" in Workspace Training
- Only assigned data is used during generation
- Multiple training sources can be combined
- Character limits apply per workspace plan
Benefits:
- AI understands your brand's specific terminology and products
- Generates videos aligned with your brand's messaging and visual language
- Improves prompt interpretation with brand context
- Creates product demo videos using knowledge from training documents
- Ensures industry-specific accuracy in video content
- Influences scene composition, narrative, and subject matter
Example: If your training includes product documentation, the AI can accurately generate demo videos of your products with proper terminology and feature highlights, even from brief prompts like "demo video of our flagship product."
Brand Settings Integration
Brand settings provide the AI with your complete brand profile to guide video style, tone, and visual elements.
Brand Profile Components:
1. Brand Basics:
- Company name and description
- Primary brand color (hex value)
- Logo and visual identity
2. Brand Personality:
- Archetype: Hero, Creator, Explorer, Sage, Jester, Everyman
- Traits: Friendly, Professional, Bold, Trustworthy, Quirky, etc.
- Tone: Formal, Conversational, Witty, Inspirational, Empathetic
3. Market Position:
- Business model (B2B, B2C, Marketplace, Subscription, etc.)
- Target audience (Gen Z, Millennials, Gen X, Boomers, Executives, etc.)
- Unique selling proposition (Price, Quality, Innovation, etc.)
4. Brand Messaging:
- Core values (Integrity, Excellence, Innovation, etc.)
- Target emotions (Trust, Joy, Inspiration, Connection, etc.)
- Tagline and brand story
How Brand Settings Influence Video Generation:
- Colors: Brand colors inform color theme selection and visual palette
- Personality: Archetype and traits guide video style, pacing, and mood
- Audience: Target demographics influence scene composition and appeal
- Values: Core values ensure generated videos align with brand ethics
- Tone: Brand tone influences camera movement, pacing, and overall feel
- Messaging: Tagline and story provide narrative context
Example: A brand with "Bold" and "Cutting Edge" personality traits targeting "Gen Z" will receive more dynamic, fast-paced videos with vibrant colors, while a "Professional" brand targeting "Executives" will get more measured pacing with sophisticated compositions.
Setup Requirements
For Training Data:
- Navigate to Workspace Settings → Training
- Add training content (Text, Files, Web, Q&A, Google Docs, Notion)
- Click "Assign" on training items

- Save assignments
For Brand Settings:
- Navigate to Brand Settings (sidebar menu)
- Complete all 4 sections:
- Basics (name, color, logo)
- Personality (archetype, traits, tone)
- Market (business model, audience, USP)
- Messaging (values, emotions, tagline, story)
