Video and reels
NexoFlow can generate short videos and vertical reels from a description, sized for whichever platform you are posting to.
What it is
NexoFlow can generate short videos and vertical reels from a description, sized for whichever platform you are posting to.
These are short-form marketing clips- a few seconds long- not long-form video.
Where to find it
Sidebar > Reels Video generation is also available from the Assets area.
What you can set
Description
What the video should show. As with images, be concrete about the subject. NexoFlow can also write the description for you from the post's topic.
Platform and shape
Instagram Reel, Facebook Reel, YouTube Shorts, TikTok, YouTube, Instagram feed, or a custom shape. The aspect ratio follows the platform- vertical (9:16) for reels and shorts, square or landscape elsewhere.
Length
Short clips, 8 seconds by default.
Start image
You can supply a starting frame- an uploaded photo or an image from your Media Library- so the video begins from something real and on-brand. This is the most effective way to keep generated video anchored to the actual business.
Text on screen
You can set the text colour and choose how it animates in (fade, slide, or no animation).
- Hook text- A short line shown at the start of the reel.
- Caption text- A caption or subtitle shown throughout.
Voiceover
Optional spoken narration, with a choice of voices.
Captions from audio
Captions can be generated from the audio track.
How generation progresses
Video generation is a background job. Each one moves through:
- Pending- Queued
- Generating- Being produced, with a progress message
- Done- Ready to download or publish
- Failed- Did not complete; an error message explains why
Video takes noticeably longer than images. You can leave the page and come back.
Common questions
Can NexoFlow make videos?
Yes- short marketing videos and vertical reels for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts and Facebook.
How long are the videos?
Short clips, 8 seconds by default. This is short-form social video, not long-form content.
Can I use my own footage?
You can supply a starting image so the video begins from a real photo of the business. Uploading your own full video clips for editing is not part of this feature.
Can I add text and a voiceover?
Yes. You can add a hook line at the start, a caption throughout, choose the text colour and animation, and optionally add spoken narration.
Where can I publish reels?
Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and Facebook, depending on which accounts you have connected. TikTok and YouTube require video- they cannot take image posts.
Why is it taking so long?
Video generation is much heavier than image generation. It runs in the background, so you can leave the page and come back to it.
My video failed.
The job shows an error message. Common causes are a credit shortfall or a description the video model declined. Try a simpler, more concrete description.
Does video use AI credits?
Yes, and considerably more than text or images.
