PromoForgeAI User Manual

1. Getting Started

PromoForgeAI turns your images, products, ideas and scripts into polished promotional videos with music, voice-over, animation and editing — all in your browser.

Create your account

1. Go to the registration page.
2. Enter your name, email and a password, then click Register.
3. You can also sign up instantly with Google or Facebook.
4. You're ready to create — the free plan is included, no credit card required.

Sign in

Use the Sign In page with your email and password. Forgot your password? Click Forgot Password on the login page to receive a reset link. Choose a strong password and keep your account secure.

2. Dashboard

After signing in you land on your Dashboard. It shows:

• Stat cards — total projects, videos created, AI generations and storage used.
• Usage chart — videos rendered and AI generations over the last 6 months.
• Recent renders — status and progress of your latest render jobs.
• Recent projects — quickly open any project in the editor.

Use the left sidebar to navigate: Dashboard, Create Video, Projects, Templates, Media Library, AI Voice Over, AI Image, Notifications and Profile.

3. Creating a Project

Click Create Video in the sidebar or the Create New Video button on the Dashboard. Choose how you want to start:

Project types & resolutions

Each project can be created at 16:9 (landscape), 9:16 (vertical/Reels), 1:1 (square) or 4:5 (portrait), and rendered at 720p or 1080p.

4. AI Promo Wizard

The fastest way to a professional promo video. The wizard takes you through four simple steps:

1. Business info — enter your brand or product name, a short description, and the promotion goal (launch, sale, feature, etc.).
2. AI script — PromoForgeAI generates a promotional script and a storyboard (scene-by-scene plan) for you. You can edit the script and regenerate it any time.
3. Settings — pick the duration, voice-over language, music and aspect ratio.
4. Create project — the storyboard becomes a project you can refine in the editor.

You can also generate an AI script, storyboard, caption or marketing copy on demand from any project page.

5. Video Editor

The editor is where your video comes together. It has three main areas:

• Canvas (preview) — shows a live preview of your video at the chosen aspect ratio.
• Timeline — separate tracks for video, text and music. Drag clips to reorder, resize them to change duration.
• Properties panel — edit the selected clip: position, scale, rotation, opacity, animations and more.

Text layers

Add animated text with effects like fade, slide, zoom, bounce, typewriter and pop. Edit the text, color, font and timing directly on the canvas or in the properties panel.

Autosave, undo & redo

Your project autosaves as you work. Use Ctrl+Z to undo and Ctrl+Y (or Ctrl+Shift+Z) to redo. You can also save manually with the Save button.

Image-to-Video effects

Apply motion to still images: Ken Burns (slow zoom/pan), zoom in/out, pan left/right/up/down, fade, slide, crossfade between clips and blur.

6. Music

• Music library — browse built-in royalty-free tracks across 10+ categories and add them to your timeline.
• Upload your own — upload MP3, WAV or M4A files and use them in any project.
• Mix controls — adjust volume, add fade in/out, loop the track, and enable ducking (music automatically lowers while a voice-over speaks).

Tip: Make sure you have the rights to any music you upload. The built-in library is royalty-free.

7. AI Voice-Over

Give your video a professional voice-over generated on your own server:

1. Open AI Voice Over from the sidebar.
2. Type or paste your narration script.
3. Choose the voice and language (English, Hindi or Hinglish).
4. Click Generate — the audio is produced and saved to your project.

Generated voice-overs can be placed on the music/text timeline in the editor and combined with ducking so they stay clear above the music.

8. Media Library

Upload and manage all your images, audio and video files in one place:

• Go to Media Library and click Upload.
• Accepted files are images, MP3/WAV/M4A audio, and video files, up to your plan's size limit.
• Uploaded files are private to your account and can be renamed or deleted any time.
• Use your media in any project — files appear automatically in the editor's asset picker.

Images you generate with the AI Image generator also appear here, ready to drop into your projects.

9. Templates

Skip the blank canvas:

1. Open Templates from the sidebar (or the landing page).
2. Preview templates across categories like Software Promotion, Mobile App, Product, Sale, Restaurant, Real Estate, Corporate, Festival, Instagram, YouTube, E-commerce, Facebook and WhatsApp.
3. Click Use Template — a new project is created with the template's scenes, text and music, which you can fully customize in the editor.

10. AI Image Generator

Create unique visuals without leaving PromoForgeAI:

1. Open AI Image from the sidebar.
2. Describe the image you want (e.g., "modern smartphone on a gradient studio background").
3. Choose the size and click Generate.
4. The image is added to your Media Library and ready to use in any project.

11. Rendering & Export

When your project is ready:

1. Click the Render / Export button in the editor or on the project page.
2. Choose the resolution (720p or 1080p) and aspect ratio (16:9, 9:16, 1:1 or 4:5).
3. Rendering runs in the background — you can keep working or close the tab. Check progress on the project page or Dashboard's Recent Renders.
4. When complete, the video exports as MP4 (H.264 + AAC). Download it from the project page.

Social-ready formats

Choose the perfect size for each platform — Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, Facebook Reels, WhatsApp Status — or export a custom resolution.

Note: Rendering requires FFmpeg on the server. Everything else (projects, media, AI scripts, voice) works even if rendering is unavailable.

12. Watermark

Exported videos can include a watermark configured by the site administrator:

• Position, opacity and size are configurable.
• Free-plan videos may carry the "PromoForgeAI" watermark.
• Higher subscription plans can remove or customize the watermark.

13. Brand Kit

Keep your videos on-brand automatically:

• Store your logo, brand colors, fonts and contact details in your Brand Kit.
• When you create an AI Promo, your brand identity is auto-applied to the script, colors and scenes.

14. Account & Notifications

Profile

• Update your name, email and profile picture from the Profile page.
• Change your password any time from the same page.

Notifications

Get notified when a render finishes, succeeds or fails. Open Notifications in the sidebar to review updates and mark them as read.

Subscription & limits

Your plan (Free / Starter / Professional / Business) determines storage space, feature limits and usage. See Pricing for the current plans.
