How to Use DocuViralPro
Everything you need to create, edit, and export AI-powered documentaries.
Quick Start
- 1. Go to the Create page and select a genre (Historical, Scientific, Nature, etc.).
- 2. Type your topic or click "Have AI generate trending topics" for ideas.
- 3. Choose your target length, narration voice, visual art style, and background music.
- 4. Click Generate documentary — your video will be queued and rendered automatically.
- 5. Watch progress on the My Videos page. When it's done, export or download it.
Script Editor
The Script Editor lets you generate a script with AI and edit it before creating your video — so you have full control over exactly what the narrator says.
Requirements:
- • A paid plan — Starter or above (not available on Free).
- • The "Anything" genre must be selected (available on Silver and above).
Click the Script Editor button (next to the "Paste your own script" section). If you've entered a topic, the AI generates a script based on it — or leave the topic blank to start with a completely blank script you can write yourself. You can edit freely in the editor, and when you're happy, click Save Updated Script to return to the Create page with your refined script loaded.
You can also access the Script Editor from your Videos page — click the file icon next to any video's script to load it into the editor.
Popular script editing functions:
These are industry-standard screenplay cues you can embed in your scripts using brackets or parentheses. The narrator skips them — the image generator uses them as visual instructions.
SCENEThe battle was over. [SCENE: Ruined village at dawn, smoke rising] Survivors emerged.
CUT TOThe king addressed his court. [CUT TO: battlefield, soldiers charging]
FADE[FADE OUT: darkness] [FADE IN: years later, the city rebuilt]
TRANSITIONThe empire flourished. [TRANSITION: centuries pass, seasons turning] Then it collapsed.
DISSOLVEThe seedling was planted. [DISSOLVE TO: full-grown tree, decades later]
B-ROLLThe scientist explained her theory. [B-ROLL: lab equipment, microscopes, data charts]
TITLE CARD[TITLE CARD: "Chapter 2 — The Fall"] The empire crumbled from within.
INT.[INT. throne room, candlelit] The queen sat alone, contemplating.
EXT.[EXT. mountain pass, blizzard] The army trudged through the snow.
You can combine these freely — e.g. [CUT TO: INT. castle dungeon, torchlight] — and pair them with --- scene breaks for precise image control.
Visual Directives
You can embed visual directives directly in your script to control what the AI image generator creates — without the narrator reading them aloud. The narrator will skip these automatically, and the image generator will follow them as visual instructions.
Available formats:
[bracketed text]
Use for scene changes, time of day, or visual descriptions.
Example: The army marched at dawn. [SCENE CHANGE: Night falls, campfires dot the hills] By nightfall, the soldiers rested.
→ The narrator reads the two sentences seamlessly. The image shows a nighttime campfire scene.
(parenthetical text)
Same as brackets — use whichever you prefer.
Example: The city thrived (wide aerial shot at golden hour) until the earthquake struck.
--- (three dashes on their own line)
Forces a new image at that exact point. The narrator skips the dashes — they're purely a visual transition marker so you control where images change.
The army marched at dawn. The sun rose over the hills. --- By nightfall, the soldiers rested around campfires.
→ Two images: one dawn marching scene, one nighttime campfire scene.
Combining scene breaks with directives:
Place --- where you want the image to change, then add a directive right after to describe the new scene:
The army marched at dawn. --- [SCENE CHANGE: Night falls, campfires dot the hills] By nightfall, the soldiers rested.
→ The --- forces a new image. The directive tells the generator what that image should look like. The narrator reads only the narration sentences.
Tips for best results:
- • Be specific:
[SCENE CHANGE: moonlit winter forest]is better than[night] - • Use
---to control exactly where images change — without it, the system splits images automatically based on narration length. - • Without a directive after a
---, the system maintains visual continuity (time of day, lighting, setting) from the previous image. - • Use directives sparingly — too many can make the storyboard feel choppy.
End of Video Remarks
Add closing words the narrator will speak at the very end of your video — perfect for call-to-actions like "Subscribe for more" or "Thanks for watching."
You can save frequently used endings in Settings and quickly insert them from the dropdown on the Create page.
