Senja's magic video creator uses our AI Director to automatically transform your customer testimonials into compelling, ready-to-share sizzle reels.
Workflow Overview
Creating a Magic Video is a simple, four-step process:
Duration: Choose the length of your video.
Testimonials: Select the customer videos you want to include.
Direction: Tell our AI Director the story you want to tell.
Review: Customize and download your finished sizzle reel.
Step 1: Choose Your Video's Duration
First, decide how long you want your final sizzle reel to be. This helps the AI Director pace the video and select the best clips to fit the timeframe.
On the Create a magic video screen, you'll see several duration options.
Click on your desired length (e.g., 30 seconds, 45 seconds, 1 minute).
Click the Continue button to proceed.

Step 2: Select Your Testimonials
Next, choose the source material for your video. Our AI will analyze the transcripts of these testimonials to build the narrative. You have four flexible options for selecting them.

Option A: 3 Latest Video Testimonials
This is the quickest option. The AI will automatically use your three most recently received video testimonials.
Option B: Testimonials from Tag
If you've organized your testimonials with tags (e.g., "top-customers," "product-A-feedback"), you can select a tag to use only the videos associated with it.
Option C: Testimonials from Form
If you use multiple collection forms, you can choose to pull testimonials from a specific form. This is great for creating campaign-specific videos.
Option D: Manually Select Testimonials (Most Control)
This option gives you full control over which testimonials are included.
Click the Manually select testimonials tab.
Scroll through your library of video testimonials.
Click on each testimonial you wish to include. They will appear in the Selected testimonials panel on the right.
Once you're happy with your selection, click the Save Selection button.
Click Continue to move to the next step.

Step 3: Direct the AI
This is where you give our AI Director creative instructions. You can choose a pre-defined "feel" for the video, select the quality of the AI model, and even provide a custom focus.

Part 1: Choose a Feel
Select a theme that best represents the tone and style you're aiming for.
Before and after: Creates a narrative focused on the transformation your customers experienced.
Pains: Highlights the problems and challenges customers faced before using your product.
Outcomes: Focuses on the positive results, benefits, and successes customers achieved after using your product.
Highly emotional: Creates a video that pulls at the heartstrings by focusing on the emotional impact of your product.
Part 2: Choose Your Director
Select the AI generation model. This affects the speed, quality, and credit cost of the video generation.
Amateur (1 credit): Our fastest video generation model. It's great for quickly iterating and testing different ideas.
Spielberg (3 credits): Our most accurate and powerful video generation model. It takes longer to process but produces higher-quality, more nuanced results.
Part 3: Focus (Optional)
For even more customization, you can give the AI Director a specific text prompt. Use the "Tell the AI director what to focus on" text box to guide the narrative.
Example prompt: "Create an energetic video focusing on how our product saves users time and makes their workflow easier."
Once you've made your selections, click Continue.
Step 4: Let the Magic Happen!
Now, sit back and relax. Our AI is hard at work:
Fetching the transcripts from your selected testimonials.
Analyzing the text to find the most impactful sentences.
Reading timestamps to perfectly clip the video segments.
Assembling the clips into a coherent story based on your direction.
Generating your sizzle reel.
