Quickstart

Velo sits over the work you already do and turns it into video. Point it at a recording, a document, a link or an intent; it cleans the audio, paces the delivery, writes narration grounded in the source, and returns a link you can share and track. This guide covers everything from sign-up to your first shared video.

​

Create your account and workspace

Step 1: Sign up at app.usevelo.ai using your email or Google account. Step 2: After signing in, you’ll be prompted to set up your first workspace. Give it a name (you can rename it later) and optionally upload a logo. Your workspace is where all your team’s videos, libraries, and brand settings live. You can invite teammates later from the workspace settings.

​

Choose where to start

The home screen has three tabs, and each one opens a different way in:

• Start from scratch — two cards. Start with a screen recording captures your screen live through the Velo extension. Start with a prompt builds a video from a description, with no source material at all.
• Upload Video/PDF — drop in an MP4, MOV or PDF you already have.
• Paste a link — hand Velo a URL and its browser agent walks the site for you.

Below the tabs, Shortcuts jump straight into common jobs — Polish your recording, PDF to Animated video, PDF to Narrated video, Animated explainer video — and a gallery shows finished examples by category. There is no single right path — pick whichever matches what you already have.

​

Upload Content and Choose a Voice

After choosing to upload a recording, select the desired file from your local storage. Once the upload is confirmed, pick a voice. The picker has three tabs — My Voices (your own clones), Organisation Voices (ones a teammate has promoted for the workspace), and Public Voices, a ready-made set described by tone: Drew (casual, curious and fun), Charon (informative and clear), Kore (firm and confident), Puck (upbeat and friendly), Leda (youthful and bright), Orus (firm and steady), and Aoede (breezy and natural). Select a voice profile to handle the automated narration of your video.

​

Process and Refine Your Video

Velo drafts a script first, broken into scene cards you can edit, then builds the video once you select Go, Make my Velo. A progress card tracks the run — creating the voiceover, then matching the new audio to the video — and the preview appears in the right-hand panel when it’s done. Velo provides real-time status updates as it processes the video and audio. Once the video is generated, the Quick actions row offers Disable Zooms, Add Music, Add Logo, Add Face, AI Rewrite, Publish video and Open full editor. When you’re ready to send it out, select Get a sharable link. Review the final output and use quick actions for last-minute refinements. The finished video is a narrated video with clean audio and consistent pacing, ready to share.
