Step 5: Let Kumba AI Generate Your Video
Hit "Generate"

Processing time: ~2–4 minutes depending on complexity
Real-time progress indicator displayed
Pro tip: This is a good moment to appreciate that what used to take a production team days is happening in minutes
Step 6: Preview & Refine
Watch the full video in Video Studio's built-in preview player
Review: transitions, text overlay timing, color palette accuracy, pacing, CTA impact
Refinement options:
Adjust specific elements (text, music, timing, color tones)
Regenerate individual sections without redoing the full video
Generate alternate versions for A/B testing
Pro tip: Always generate 2–3 variations — what looks great to you might perform differently with your audience
Step 7: Download / Publish
Download: Select resolution (1080p / 4K), file format (MP4), with or without watermark
Direct Publishing: Push to connected social channels via Kumba's built-in scheduling tools — set date/time, add captions, configure platform settings
Campaign Integration: Pair the video with ad copy from Agent Text-It and visuals from Agent Pix-It for a complete campaign package
Pro tip: Always download the highest resolution available — you can compress later, but you can't upscale
