QuotVid is an AI-powered platform that turns short quotes into ready-to-publish vertical videos. Every export is delivered as an MP4 file at 1080×1920 pixels (9:16 aspect ratio), formatted for TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, Pinterest, and similar channels. What QuotVid does for you The platform handles quote writing (in AI mode), visual layout, background selection, typography, background music, rendering, and—when your plan and integrations allow—scheduling posts to connected social accounts. You focus on strategy and distribution; QuotVid handles production. Two ways to create content AI Persona — Configure your niche, language, visual identity, generation cadence, and posting preferences once. QuotVid then produces quote batches and renders videos on your schedule. This path is designed for consistent, hands-off channel growth. Custom Studio — Enter your own quote text, refine layout and styling, and generate individual videos on demand. Studio outputs remain in your library until you delete them and are ideal when you need precise creative control. Main areas of the app (sidebar) Dashboard — Overview of usage, pipeline counts, and recent activity. Generated videos — All render jobs (queued, processing, completed, or failed). Scheduled — Videos with pending posts to connected platforms. Published — Videos that have successfully gone live, with links per platform. Integrations — Connect or disconnect social accounts (OAuth). Profile — Brand kit: logo, channel name, and on-video branding. Billing — View your plan, upgrade, or manage subscription. Recommended workflow (AI Persona) Step 1: Complete onboarding or funnel setup and sign in at app.quotvid.com. Step 2: Open AI Persona and configure Content, Visual Style, Schedule, Intent, and Posting Preferences. Save your changes. Step 3: Connect the platforms you want to post to under Integrations (if auto-posting applies to your plan). Step 4: Allow the first generation job to complete, or use “Generate batch now” for an immediate batch. Step 5: Review completed videos under Generated videos, download MP4 files if needed, and monitor Scheduled and Published as posts go out. You can switch to Custom Studio at any time for one-off videos without disabling your account.

QuotVid offers two distinct creation modes. Only one mode is “active” at a time; the active mode determines whether scheduled automation runs. AI Persona — automated content engine Purpose: Build a repeatable content system for your brand or channel. You configure: content category (niche), language, video template, backgrounds, accent colors, fonts, default music, generation schedule (daily or selected weekdays), daily batch size (within plan limits), brand intent (voice and goals), and per-platform posting times. What happens: The system generates quotes, creates video render jobs, and—on eligible plans—queues social posts after each video completes. Best for: Creators who want daily or weekly output without manually writing every quote. Where to find it: Dashboard → AI Persona (settings are organized in tabs: Content, Visual Style, Schedule, Intent, and posting-related preferences). Custom Studio — manual, single-video workflow Purpose: Produce a specific video from text you already have, or experiment with layout before updating your persona. You configure: Quote body (and optional author), template, fonts, colors, background, music, and optional per-video posting targets. What happens: One quote becomes one video. Studio videos are labeled in the Generated list. They are not removed on the same automatic retention schedule as AI-generated videos. Best for: Campaign-specific quotes, client deliverables, or testing a new visual style. Important: The background worker does not auto-post Studio videos. After render, use the in-app share or post flow to choose platforms for that video. Switching between modes If Custom Studio is currently active, scheduled AI generation is paused until you open AI Persona, save your settings, and return to AI mode. When switching from Studio to AI, you may be prompted to run “Generate batch now” to queue an immediate batch. Decision guide Choose AI Persona if you want volume, consistency, and optional auto-posting. Choose Custom Studio if you want full control over a single piece of content or need to keep the file indefinitely without the AI retention window.

This guide covers both sign-up paths: direct registration and funnel-based trial registration. Path A — Direct sign-up (app.quotvid.com) 1. Create an account with email or Google (where available). Verify your email if prompted. 2. Complete onboarding: select your niche, template, language, and basic preferences. These seed your first persona. 3. Open AI Persona from the dashboard. Review each tab (Content, Visual Style, Schedule, Intent). Adjust anything that does not match your brand, then save. 4. Wait for the system to queue your first generation job, or click “Generate batch now” if you want content immediately (subject to your daily limit). 5. Open Generated videos in the sidebar. When status shows completed, preview the video and download the MP4 if desired. 6. Optional: Open Integrations and connect a social account, then configure posting times under AI Persona → Posting Preferences. Path B — Funnel trial (QuotVid landing page) 1. Submit the funnel form with a valid email (temporary or disposable addresses are blocked). 2. Check your inbox for “Set your password” and complete registration within 24 hours. 3. You are signed in automatically with a trial plan and a persona pre-filled from your funnel answers (niche, goal, tone). 4. Go to Integrations and connect the platform you selected on the funnel (for example, Pinterest). This step starts your five-day trial countdown, shown on the dashboard banner. 5. Your first video generation job is queued during setup. Monitor Generated videos until processing completes. 6. Configure posting times and auto-post toggles under AI Persona if you want scheduled publishing during the trial. Path C — First video in Custom Studio (fastest manual route) 1. Sign in and open Custom Studio from the dashboard or persona area. 2. Paste or type a short quote (clear, readable lines work best on mobile). 3. Select template, language, background, and music. Use preview if available. 4. Click generate and wait for the job to finish under Generated videos. 5. Download or share to connected platforms from the video detail view. Tips for a strong first export Keep quotes concise (roughly one to three lines on screen). Match language in settings to the language of your text. On free plans, expect QuotVid branding on the video until you upgrade and configure your brand kit.

Your AI Persona is the control center for automated quote videos. Changes apply to the next generation run after you save. Content tab Category (niche) — Drives quote tone and recommended templates (for example, Stoic, Business, Discipline, Psychology, Mindset). Select “Random” if you want variety across batches. Language — Sets quote generation language and on-screen typography. Must be correct for RTL scripts (Arabic, Urdu, Persian). Template — Default motion and layout (Pure, Cinematic, Bold, Longform, Poetry for Urdu, and others). Filtered by category and language. Poetry — Available when language is Urdu; choose a subcategory (for example, love or sad) for specialized poetry layouts. Visual Style tab Font and size — Controls readability on mobile. Increase size for shorter quotes; decrease for longer text. Accent colors and mode — Highlight words or lines according to your brand palette. Text alignment and shadow — Left, center, right, or justified; optional shadow for contrast on bright backgrounds. Background — Options include solid black, gradients, AI-generated scenes (style and scene presets), or uploaded images managed in Studio. Music — Default track from the library or your uploaded audio (plan permitting). Preview before saving. Schedule tab Generation frequency — Daily, three days per week (Monday, Wednesday, Friday), or weekdays (Monday through Friday). Daily video count — Number of videos per generation run, capped by your plan. The dashboard and AI Persona header show used versus limit for free and trial accounts. “Generate batch now” — Queues an extra batch outside the normal schedule; useful after major setting changes. Intent tab Niche label, brand voice tags, and primary goals — Inform how the AI writes quotes. Align these with your audience and positioning. Posting Preferences tab Timezone — Use IANA timezone names (for example, America/New_York, Asia/Karachi, Europe/London). All scheduled post times are interpreted in this zone. Per-platform post time — 24-hour format (for example, 09:00 for morning, 18:00 for evening). Auto-post toggles — Enable or disable automatic publishing per platform without disconnecting the account. After saving The next scheduled run—or an immediate batch if you trigger one—uses the updated configuration. Existing completed videos are not re-rendered automatically; regenerate or create new content to apply visual changes retroactively.

In QuotVid, “category” or “niche” refers to the thematic bucket for your quotes. It affects AI writing style, template recommendations, and audience fit. Why category matters A aligned category produces quotes that sound native to your channel (for example, discipline-focused lines for a fitness motivation page). Misaligned categories can feel generic and hurt retention. Available themes (examples) Stoic — Reflective, resilience-oriented phrasing. Business / mindset / psychology — Growth, habits, and performance angles. Discipline — Action and consistency-focused lines. Poetry (Urdu only) — Line-by-line cinematic poetry layouts with subcategories such as love or sad. Random — Rotates thematic variety across batches when you want diversity. Changing category You may change category at any time in AI Persona. Previously rendered videos are unchanged. Only future generations use the new setting. Template relationship Each category maps to a subset of templates the product recommends. You can still override template in Custom Studio per video. Best practice Define one primary category per persona. If you operate multiple brands or languages, create separate personas (where your plan allows) rather than mixing unrelated niches in one profile.

QuotVid supports multilingual quote generation and on-screen rendering. Language must be set before you generate so fonts, line breaks, and direction match your text. Setting language AI Persona — Content tab → Language. Custom Studio — Language control in the studio form before render. Right-to-left (RTL) languages Arabic, Urdu, Persian, and related scripts use right-to-left layout and appropriate fonts (including Urdu Nastaliq where applicable). Do not enter RTL text while English is selected in settings. Latin and extended scripts European and many Asian languages use left-to-right layout with fonts chosen for readability at mobile scale. Poetry and Urdu The dedicated Poetry template and poetry subcategories are available only when Urdu is selected. Other languages receive the standard template catalog without the poetry layout. Quality guidelines Keep lines short enough to read without pausing. Avoid mixing two languages in one quote unless intentional. If characters appear as boxes or wrong shapes, confirm language setting and regenerate. For crowded layouts, reduce font size or shorten the quote in Custom Studio. QuotVid does not auto-translate your brand voice; it generates or displays text in the language you select. For multi-language channels, use separate personas or switch language before each batch.

Every completed render can be downloaded as an MP4 for backup, manual upload, or editing in external tools. How to download 1. Sign in at app.quotvid.com. 2. Open Generated videos in the sidebar. 3. Select a completed video (status must not be queued or processing). 4. Use the download action on the video detail or list view. 5. Save the file to your device. File names may include identifiers to help you organize batches. Retention rules (important) AI Persona videos — These are subject to automatic storage limits. An expiry date is shown in the Generated list (commonly seven days after creation). Download any file you wish to keep before that date. After expiry, the file is removed from your QuotVid library (posts already published on social networks are not affected). Custom Studio videos — Marked with a Studio badge. They remain in your account until you delete them manually. They are not subject to the same automatic deletion schedule as AI-generated videos. When to download Before the expiry date on AI videos. Before canceling a subscription if you will not renew and still need local copies. Whenever you post manually to a platform that is not connected via Integrations. Playback and sharing Exported files use H.264 video and AAC audio for broad compatibility. If a download fails, retry on a stable connection or contact support with the approximate time of the failure.

The free plan allows you to evaluate QuotVid before committing to a paid subscription. What is included Account access to the web application (app.quotvid.com). AI Persona and Custom Studio (subject to daily generation limits shown in the app). Access to core templates, categories, and languages. Ability to download completed MP4 files. What to expect on free Daily generation cap — The dashboard and AI Persona display “used / limit” for video generation. Limits reset according to the schedule shown in the app (quota is calculated in UTC). QuotVid branding — Videos include QuotVid watermarking on export. Custom logo replacement requires a paid plan and brand kit configuration. No automatic worker posting — The system does not enqueue automatic social posts for perpetual free accounts. You may still download videos and upload them manually. What is not required No credit card to create an account or generate videos within your limit. Upgrading Open Billing in the sidebar to compare Monthly, Annual, and Lifetime options. Paid plans typically remove the QuotVid watermark (when your brand kit is configured), increase or remove daily generation caps, and enable auto-posting for AI-generated videos when integrations are connected.

Users who register through a QuotVid marketing funnel (for example, a Pinterest or YouTube landing page) receive a trial plan after password setup. How the trial starts 1. You submit the funnel form with email and preferences. 2. You set your password via the email link (valid for 24 hours). 3. An account is created with plan_name “trial” and a persona seeded from funnel data (niche, goal, content tone). 4. The trial clock does not start until you connect your funnel platform under Integrations. 5. Connecting triggers the five-day trial window displayed on the dashboard banner (countdown). During the trial You generally receive access similar to paid subscribers: custom branding on paid rules, auto-posting when platforms are connected, and integrations for available networks. Daily generation limits still apply; monitor the usage indicator in AI Persona. Your first video job is often queued automatically at signup. When the trial ends If you do not upgrade, access to generation and posting features may be restricted until you subscribe. Your account data, connections, and history are preserved in most cases—upgrade from Billing to restore full access. Funnel platform lock Your trial may be associated with the platform you chose on the funnel (for example, Pinterest). Connect that platform first to start the trial and unlock the intended workflow.

QuotVid enforces daily generation limits on free and trial plans to ensure fair usage. Paid subscribers receive expanded or unlimited generation according to their plan. Where to see your usage AI Persona page header — Shows used versus limit for eligible plans. Dashboard summary — Daily usage widget when available. “Generate batch now” dialog — Confirms whether a new batch would exceed your limit. How limits work Each video render job counts toward your daily total when created. Deleting a video does not restore a slot for the same day. Limits reset on a schedule tied to UTC (the app displays the next reset time). Free and trial Subject to a daily cap (the exact number is shown in your account and may change—always trust the in-app counter). Monthly, Annual, and Lifetime Daily caps are lifted or substantially increased for paid plans. Billing page and plan details describe your entitlements. If you exceed the limit Generation and “Generate batch now” will be blocked until reset or upgrade. Upgrade under Billing for immediate higher limits on paid tiers.

Upgrading unlocks paid features such as custom branding, higher generation limits, and automatic posting for AI-generated content. Steps to upgrade 1. Sign in at app.quotvid.com. 2. Open Billing from the sidebar (or visit Pricing on the marketing site and follow checkout links). 3. Select Monthly, Annual, or Lifetime according to your needs. 4. Complete checkout on our payment partner (Lemon Squeezy). Enter payment details on their secure page. 5. Return to the app. Your plan usually updates within one minute after payment confirmation. After upgrade Configure your brand kit under Profile (logo and channel name) so exports use your identity instead of QuotVid watermarking. Connect social accounts under Integrations if you want auto-posting. Review AI Persona posting times and timezones. If your plan does not update Sign out and sign back in to refresh your session. Check your email for a receipt from Lemon Squeezy. Contact support@quotvid.com with your account email and payment confirmation. Plan comparison (general) Monthly / Annual — Recurring subscription; cancel before renewal to stop charges. Lifetime — One-time purchase for long-term access to features defined at time of purchase; no recurring subscription fee.

You may cancel recurring subscriptions without deleting your QuotVid account. How to cancel 1. Sign in and open Billing. 2. Open the customer portal or subscription management link provided on the page. 3. Follow the cancellation flow for Monthly or Annual plans. 4. Confirm the end date of your current billing period—you retain access until that date. After cancellation No further charges occur for the canceled subscription. Paid features remain active until the period ends. Download AI-generated videos before expiry if you will not renew (see retention rules in Download and keep your videos). Lifetime plans Lifetime is a one-time purchase and does not renew. There is no subscription to cancel. Account and data Canceling billing does not automatically delete your account or disconnect social platforms. Use Integrations → Disconnect if you want to revoke posting access. Reactivation You may subscribe again at any time from Billing; previous personas and settings typically remain.

Understanding the difference helps you manage downloads and storage. AI Persona videos Created by scheduled or manual AI batches. Listed in Generated videos with a visible expiry date (typically seven days). Automatically removed from your QuotVid library after expiry to manage storage. Always download files you need for long-term archives or offline editing. Custom Studio videos Created one at a time from your own text. Marked with a Studio badge in the Generated list. Not auto-deleted on the AI retention schedule; they remain until you delete them. Trial vs paid vs free Trial — Time-limited (five days after platform connect for funnel users); features similar to paid during the window. Free — Ongoing access with daily caps and QuotVid watermark. Paid — Custom branding, higher limits, and auto-posting for eligible AI videos. Lifetime plan One-time payment for access to product features defined at purchase. No recurring subscription. Fair use and terms of service still apply.

In AI Persona mode, QuotVid creates original quote text before rendering each video. Inputs the system uses Content category (niche) and language. Brand voice tags and intent goals from the Intent tab. Template and length constraints built into the generation pipeline. Quality controls Word count limits — Quotes outside the allowed range may be filtered or rewritten. Engagement scoring — Low-scoring lines can be discarded in favor of stronger alternatives. Deduplication — Similar text to recent quotes may be blocked to reduce repetition on your channel. From quote to video 1. A quote record is created and approved for production. 2. A video render job is queued (status: queued → processing → completed). 3. The render pipeline applies template, background, typography, music, and branding. 4. The finished MP4 is stored and listed under Generated videos. Custom Studio You supply the full quote text (and optional author attribution). The AI does not rewrite unless you edit and generate again. Use Studio when compliance, exact wording, or client approval requires fixed copy. Tips for better AI output Tighten brand voice tags to adjectives that describe your tone (for example, direct, calm, bold). Choose a category that matches your audience. Avoid switching language between batches without updating persona settings.

Templates define how text appears, animates, and sits on screen. Choosing the right template improves readability and watch-through rate on mobile. Template families (examples) Pure — Minimal layout, often on dark backgrounds; strong for stoic and mindset quotes. Cinematic — Atmospheric headings and dramatic pacing. Bold / minimal_dark — High-contrast motivational styles. Longform / scroll / split — Multi-line or narrative layouts for longer thoughts. Poetry (Urdu) — Line-by-line reveal tuned for Urdu script. Structured / story — Sections or beats for list-style or story content. How selection works AI Persona — Set a default template in Content. Category may limit which templates are offered. Custom Studio — Override template per video; preview when available. Changing templates Updates in AI Persona affect the next generation run only. To apply a new template to existing text, regenerate in Studio or wait for the next batch. Design recommendations Aim for one clear idea per video. Prefer three to seven on-screen lines for most templates. Test Longform only when your quote truly needs more screen time.

Every QuotVid export can include licensed background music mixed beneath the visual track. Library tracks Browse moods such as ambient, cinematic, uplifting, emotional, and dark in the music picker. Tracks are hosted on our CDN; the renderer downloads and caches audio during video generation. Select a default in AI Persona or per video in Custom Studio. Custom uploads Where your plan allows, upload your own MP3 or similar file. Uploaded audio is stored securely and associated with your account. Audio processing Volume is normalized for social platforms. Fade-in and fade-out reduce harsh starts and ends. Music does not replace spoken voiceover—QuotVid quote videos are music plus text visuals. Preview Use the in-app preview in the music picker before generating to confirm mood and energy. Troubleshooting silent videos If a video has no music, the track may have failed to download (network or CDN issue). Regenerate the video or choose another track. Persistent issues should be reported to support with the video ID and time of render.

QuotVid supports right-to-left (RTL) scripts including Arabic, Urdu, and Persian when the correct language is selected before generation. Configuration Set language to your target RTL language in AI Persona (Content tab) or Custom Studio. Do not paste RTL text while English is selected—layout and font selection depend on language. Typography Urdu poetry uses specialized fonts (for example, Nastaliq-style rendering) and the Poetry template. Other RTL languages receive appropriate direction and alignment for captions. Authoring tips Write naturally in the target language; avoid mixing LTR English phrases unless intentional. Keep lines short; RTL scripts often need more vertical space. Punctuation should follow the conventions of the language, not English quote marks alone. If output looks wrong Confirm language setting → save persona → regenerate. Do not edit only the video file externally; fix settings and re-render.

QuotVid standard export specifications are optimized for short-form social platforms. Video Resolution: 1080×1920 pixels (vertical 9:16). Container: MP4. Video codec: H.264 (broad device and platform support). Typical duration: Approximately 30–45 seconds, depending on quote length, template animation, and hold times. Audio Codec: AAC. Sample rate: 48 kHz (suitable for Instagram Reels and similar platforms). Background music mixed at configured volume with fades. Delivery Files are available for download from the app and may be uploaded to R2-backed storage for streaming in the library. “Fast start” moov atom placement supports quicker playback in browsers. Platform notes TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and Pinterest Pins accept vertical MP4 within platform size limits. If a network rejects a file, check its current maximum file size and duration policies.

Video generation is asynchronous. Understanding statuses helps you decide when to wait versus when to act. Job statuses Queued — Waiting for a worker. Processing — Actively rendering. Completed — Ready to preview and download. Failed — Render did not finish; see error hints in the app if shown. Normal wait times Most videos complete within a few minutes. Queue depth, background image generation, and music download can extend time during peak usage. If processing takes longer than one hour Note the approximate start time and your account email. Refresh the Generated list in case the UI is stale. Do not queue duplicate batches repeatedly—this adds load. Common failure causes Quote text too long for the selected template. Background asset unavailable or timed out. Music file failed to download from CDN. Temporary server maintenance (check status or support channels). Recommended actions Shorten the quote or switch template in Custom Studio and regenerate. Select a simpler background (solid or gradient) to test. Choose a different music track. Contact support@quotvid.com with account email, video or quote ID if available, and timestamp (with timezone).

Social connections let QuotVid publish on your behalf when auto-posting is enabled and your plan allows it. Prerequisites Active QuotVid account. For auto-posting on AI videos: paid or trial plan (perpetual free plans do not receive worker-driven auto-post). Platform marked “active” in Integrations (some networks may show “Coming Soon” until launched). Connection steps 1. Sign in and open Integrations in the sidebar. 2. Locate the platform card (Pinterest, TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook). 3. Click Connect. 4. You are redirected to the official OAuth login for that network. Sign in and approve the requested permissions. 5. After success, you return to QuotVid and the connected account or channel name appears on the card. Permissions (summary) YouTube — Upload videos and read channel information for labeling. Instagram — Publish content and read account/Page data as required by Meta. TikTok — Upload and publish video content; read display name. Pinterest — Read boards, create pins, read username. Facebook — List managed Pages and post to the Page you authorize. Disconnecting Click Disconnect on the platform card. QuotVid deletes your access token immediately and cannot post until you connect again. Security Tokens are stored encrypted. We never ask for your social network password inside QuotVid—only the official provider login page.

Pinterest is a primary integration for many QuotVid users, especially those arriving from Pinterest funnels. Connection steps 1. Open Integrations. 2. Click Connect on the Pinterest card (when status is active). 3. Approve OAuth scopes for boards, pin creation, and profile access. 4. Confirm your username appears on the card. After connecting Open AI Persona → Posting Preferences. Set your timezone and the daily time you want pins to go live. Ensure auto-post is enabled for Pinterest if you want hands-free publishing. Funnel trial users If you signed up via a Pinterest funnel, connecting Pinterest starts your five-day trial countdown. Complete this step promptly to avoid confusion about trial timing. Content format Videos are vertical MP4s suitable for video pins. Titles and descriptions may be derived from quote metadata and persona settings.

QuotVid supports multiple short-form networks. Availability depends on rollout status in Integrations. TikTok Connect via OAuth when the TikTok card is active. Permissions include video upload and publish capabilities for your authorized account. Posting times are configured per platform under AI Persona. Instagram (Reels) Typically requires a Meta business or creator setup as described in-app. Permissions cover publishing and account insights needed for Reels delivery. Reels require vertical video; QuotVid exports 9:16 MP4 by default. YouTube (Shorts) Connect your Google account and authorize the YouTube channel you manage. Uploaded videos are Shorts-compatible vertical MP4 files. You may always download and upload manually via YouTube Studio if preferred. If a platform shows “Coming Soon” Use Download from Generated videos and upload natively until Connect is enabled for your account. Watch product updates or the Integrations page for status changes.

Accurate scheduling aligns generation and publishing with your audience’s active hours. Where to configure AI Persona → Posting Preferences (and related schedule tabs). Timezone Enter an IANA timezone string, for example: America/Los_Angeles Europe/Berlin Asia/Karachi Australia/Sydney All post times are interpreted in this zone. Incorrect timezone is a common cause of posts appearing at the wrong local hour. Per-platform post time Use 24-hour format (HH:MM), for example 09:00 for 9 AM or 21:30 for 9:30 PM. Set different times per network if your audiences differ by platform. Generation schedule vs post time Generation schedule (daily, three-per-week, weekdays) controls when new videos are created. Post time controls when completed videos are sent to each platform. These are independent: you might generate overnight and post at 8 AM local time. Auto-post toggle Disable auto-post for a platform to pause publishing without revoking OAuth access. Custom Studio posts After a Studio render completes, use the share/post dialog to select which connected platforms receive that specific video.

Automation reduces manual work when AI Persona is active and your plan supports it. Automatic generation When AI Persona is the active mode, the scheduler creates quote and video jobs according to your generation schedule (daily or selected weekdays). “Generate batch now” triggers an additional batch outside the normal cadence, subject to daily limits. Automatic posting (AI videos only) After a video render completes, the worker may enqueue posting jobs for connected platforms with auto-post enabled. Posts go out at the times configured in Posting Preferences (in your timezone). Plan eligibility Trial and paid plans — Auto-posting for AI-generated videos is supported when integrations are connected. Perpetual free plan — Worker does not enqueue system auto-post; download and upload manually. Custom Studio — Not auto-posted by the worker; use manual share flow per video. Monitoring Track progress in Generated (render), Scheduled (pending posts), and Published (live links). Cancel scheduled posts from the Scheduled tab when the app offers cancel, before the publish time.

The three pipeline views organize your content by stage in the production and publishing lifecycle. Generated videos Purpose: Track every render job. Ordering: Active jobs (queued or processing) typically appear first, followed by completed, then failed. AI videos: Display an expiry date—download before this date. Studio videos: Show a Studio badge; no AI retention expiry. Actions: Preview, download, delete (where available), or open detail for posting options. Scheduled Purpose: Videos with one or more pending posting jobs to connected platforms. Display: May include countdown to scheduled publish time per platform. Actions: Cancel a scheduled post before it goes live when cancel is offered. Note: Canceling here stops the QuotVid job; it does not affect posts already published. Published Purpose: Historical record of successful posts. Display: Platform links, publish date, and which networks received the video. Actions: Removing an entry deletes only the QuotVid record—the live post remains on the social network. Dashboard overview The main dashboard summarizes counts for quick health checks without opening each tab.

Besides scheduled runs, you can trigger content on demand. Generate batch now Location: AI Persona (header or schedule section). Effect: Queues a new quote generation and video batch immediately using current persona settings. Limits: Respects daily used/limit for free and trial accounts; dialog shows projected usage. When to use it After changing category, template, or language and wanting content before the next scheduled run. When switching from Custom Studio back to AI Persona (you may be prompted to generate). When recovering from a failed batch and you need replacement videos. When not to use it Repeated clicks while jobs are still processing—wait for queue to clear. When you are already at your daily limit—upgrade or wait for reset. After triggering Allow several minutes for jobs to appear in Generated. Review failed jobs individually rather than spamming new batches.

A consistent logo builds recognition across your quote videos. Requirements Paid plan (free and trial exports use QuotVid branding unless upgraded). PNG format with transparent background recommended. Square or horizontal logos work best; avoid very fine detail that disappears on mobile. Setup steps 1. Sign in and open Profile. 2. Open the Brand kit or Watermark section (tab may be labeled accordingly). 3. Upload your logo file. 4. Adjust position (commonly corners), width, height, and opacity. 5. Save changes. 6. Generate a new video or batch to apply branding—existing MP4s are not retroactively updated. Preview Use any in-app phone or frame preview to confirm the logo does not cover the main quote text. Storage Logos are stored in secure cloud storage associated with your account.

The channel name (or handle) appears as on-screen text separate from the quote body—similar to a broadcast lower third or social handle. Best practices Keep text short (ideally under 20 characters). Use the same handle viewers search for on your social platforms. Avoid special characters that render poorly at small sizes. Configuration Set channel name, position, font size, and opacity in Profile → Brand kit alongside logo settings. Paid plans use your channel name; free/trial may show default QuotVid branding rules. Timing Changes apply to renders created after you save. Re-download or regenerate if you need updated branding on a specific asset.

Thoughtful placement keeps your brand visible without hurting readability. Position Top-left or top-right is standard for logos. Avoid covering the center of the frame where quote text animates. If using AI-generated busy backgrounds, prefer corners with darker or simpler areas. Opacity 100% opacity works on plain backgrounds. On busy scenes, reduce opacity slightly (for example 70–85%) so the logo remains visible but not distracting. Channel name vs logo Do not stack channel name and logo over the same text block. If overlap occurs, move one element or shorten the quote in Custom Studio.

Branding and content settings are split across two areas by design. Profile (Brand kit) Account-level logo, channel name, positions, and opacity. Applies to rendered videos according to plan rules (paid = your brand; free/trial = QuotVid watermark rules). AI Persona Category, language, template, colors, fonts, backgrounds, music, schedules, and posting. Drives what the AI writes and how each automated video looks and sounds. Interaction Persona controls creative direction; brand kit controls identity overlay. Update both before a large batch if you are rebranding.
