Generate AI Video and Edit It in KubeezCut: End-to-End Workflow

Creating professional video content used to require a design team, expensive software, and days of work. With Kubeez and KubeezCut, the full pipeline — from raw idea to finished video — runs entirely in the browser in under an hour.

This tutorial walks through every stage: generating a base image with Nano Banana 2, animating it into a video clip, adding AI music, and editing everything in KubeezCut to produce a polished, export-ready video.

#The Four-Stage Pipeline

The workflow has four stages that flow naturally into each other:

1. Generate — create a high-quality product or promo image with Nano Banana 2
2. Animate — turn the image into a video clip using Seedance or Kling
3. Score — generate a background music track with AI
4. Edit — assemble, polish, and export in KubeezCut

Each stage produces an asset that feeds into the next. Let's go through each one.

#Stage 1: Generate Your Base Image with Nano Banana 2

Go to Kubeez Images and select Nano Banana 2 as your model. This is Kubeez's default image model — best value, excellent quality, and great at producing clean, animatable visuals.

Write a detailed prompt for your subject. For a product video, include:

• The product name and category
• Setting and background ("marble surface", "minimal white studio", "outdoor golden hour")
• Lighting style ("soft diffused light", "dramatic side lighting", "backlit")
• Quality specifiers ("photorealistic", "commercial product photography", "ultra-sharp")

Example prompt: "Premium glass perfume bottle with gold cap, isolated on a white marble surface, soft diffused studio lighting, photorealistic, commercial product photography, shallow depth of field, no text, no watermarks."

Set the aspect ratio to 16:9 for video output. Generate 2–4 variations and pick the strongest one.

Tip: If the first result isn't quite right, use image-to-image: upload your best result and prompt Nano Banana 2 to refine it — adjust the lighting, clean up the background, or change the color.

#Stage 2: Animate the Image into a Video Clip

Go to Kubeez Video Generation. Upload your generated image and choose an animation model:

• Seedance — smooth, cinematic motion. Best for product videos and professional content.
• Kling 2.6 / 3.0 — more dynamic motion, great for lifestyle and social content.

Write a motion prompt describing what should move and how:

Example motion prompt: "Slow elegant camera push in. The perfume bottle stands still. Soft bokeh particles float gently in the background. Cinematic, luxury brand feel."

Tips for motion prompts:

• Keep motion subtle for product videos — avoid describing dramatic camera moves
• Mention camera behavior explicitly: "dolly in", "slow pan left", "static shot"
• For social content, allow more energy: "dynamic handheld movement", "product floats slowly"

Set duration to 5–10 seconds depending on your target platform. Download the generated .mp4 clip.

#Stage 3: Add AI Music

Go to Kubeez Audio and generate a background music track to match your video.

Write a prompt describing the mood and style you need:

Example music prompt: "Elegant ambient music, soft piano melody, slow tempo, luxury brand feel, 15 seconds, instrumental, no vocals."

Prompting tips:

• Match the energy to the video: if the video is calm and cinematic, the music should match
• Specify duration that slightly exceeds your video length (e.g., 20 seconds for a 15-second video)
• Include tempo guidance: "slow", "moderate", "upbeat"

Download the generated audio file.

#Stage 4: Edit in KubeezCut

Open KubeezCut at editor.kubeez.com — no install, no account needed. Everything runs in Chrome or Edge 113+.

Importing your assets:

1. Click Import and add your video clip (.mp4)
2. Import your music track (.mp3 or .wav)
3. Both appear in the media library

Building the timeline:

1. Drag the video clip onto the Video track
2. Drag the music track onto the Audio track below it
3. Trim the audio to match the video length — drag the right edge inward

Adding text overlays:

1. Click the Text tool and add a title card (e.g., your product name or brand)
2. Position it in the lower third or center
3. Set the font, size, and color to match your brand
4. Set in/out points so the text fades in after 0.5s and fades out before the end

Applying visual effects:

1. Select your video clip on the timeline
2. Open the Effects panel and apply color correction — boost contrast slightly, adjust temperature for warmth
3. For luxury product content, a subtle vignette adds polish

Auto-captions (optional):

• Go to Captions and enable Auto-transcribe
• Kubeez runs local Whisper transcription — no audio is sent to a server
• Review and clean up any errors, then style the captions to match your brand

Exporting:

1. Click Export
2. Choose format: MP4 with H.264 for maximum compatibility
3. Select resolution: 1080p for social media, 4K if your plan supports it
4. Click Download — the video encodes locally and saves directly to your device

#Real Example: A 15-Second Instagram Reel

Here's how this workflow produces a finished Reel for a skincare brand:

Image prompt: "Minimalist white ceramic face cream jar with gold lid, flat lay on a beige linen surface, natural daylight, soft shadows, commercial beauty photography, no watermarks."

• Model: Nano Banana 2, aspect ratio 9:16 (for Reels), 1K

Motion prompt: "Slow gentle dolly in toward the cream jar. Soft natural light shifts subtly. Clean, minimal, beauty brand feel."

• Model: Seedance, duration 10s

Music prompt: "Calm, minimal piano loop, slow tempo, 20 seconds, luxury beauty brand, instrumental."

KubeezCut:

• Trim video to 10s
• Add brand name as lower-third text, fade in at 1s
• Add product name subtitle at 5s
• Color grade: slight warmth boost (+10 temperature), contrast +8
• Export: 1080 × 1920 (9:16), MP4, H.264

Total time: under 20 minutes.

#Best Practices

Consistent style across stages: Use the same color temperature in your image prompt, your video motion, and your KubeezCut color grade. Inconsistency across stages produces a disjointed final video.

Batch the image stage: Generate 5–6 image variations before moving to video animation. It's much faster to iterate at the image stage than to regenerate videos.

Export for platform: Different platforms have different requirements. Instagram Reels and TikTok need 9:16. YouTube needs 16:9. Generate at the correct aspect ratio from the start.

Caption everything: Even if your video has no dialogue, on-screen text and captions dramatically increase watch time on social platforms where audio is often muted.
