Batch Generation and Platform Pacing
Produce video variations at scale from a single base, auto-split clips into Instagram Stories, and tune scene timing for each social platform.
Create video variations at scale and auto-optimize timing for each social platform.
Batch Variations
Start from a single base video and generate multiple variations by swapping scene content. Each variation becomes its own video record that you can preview, edit, and render independently.
How It Works
- Provide a base video ID
- Supply an array of variation overrides
- Each override replaces specific scene slots
- New video records are created automatically
Use Cases
- A/B testing different headlines
- Localised versions with region-specific stats
- Content series with consistent branding
- Platform-specific messaging variations
Example: Content Series
- Base video: "Why BlackOps Center?"
- Variation 1: Hook headline → "Save 10 hours a week"
- Variation 2: Hook headline → "Your content, refined by AI"
- Variation 3: Hook headline → "From idea to published in minutes"
Story Auto-Split
Instagram Stories require clips of 15 seconds or less. Auto-split takes your video and divides it into sequential story segments, each in portrait format (1080 x 1920).
- Input: Any video with scenes totalling more than 15 seconds
- Processing: Scenes grouped into ≤15s segments, format set to portrait
- Output: Multiple video records, one per story slide
Platform Pacing Profiles
Each platform has different audience expectations for pacing. Apply a pacing profile to automatically adjust scene durations and transitions.
| Platform | Style | Hook | Content | CTA | Transition |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| YouTube | Longer scenes, smooth fades | 5s | 8s | 6s | crossfade 0.8s |
| TikTok | Short, punchy cuts | 2s | 4s | 3s | cut (none) |
| Instagram Stories | 15s max per segment | 2s | 5s | 3s | slide 0.3s |
| Professional pacing | 4s | 7s | 5s | crossfade 0.6s | |
| Twitter / X | Fast, attention-grabbing | 3s | 5s | 4s | cut (none) |
API & MCP Access
Both batch generation and platform pacing are available through the REST API and as MCP tools.
batch_videos
Two modes: variations (clone + override slots) and story-split (auto-split into ≤15s segments).
create_video with platform
Pass a platform field when creating a video to auto-apply pacing.
