AI video production is a pipeline, not a tool. Script to storyboard to synthesis to edit to delivery, with generated components assembled programmatically so the same input reliably produces the same kind of output at volume.
It works where video is repetitive and high-volume — product variants, localisation, training modules, personalised outreach. It works poorly where the value is in a single crafted piece, and being clear about which of those you have is the difference between a useful system and an expensive novelty.
What you get
- LLM-directed video assembly
- Avatar spokesperson videos
- Localization & dubbing pipelines
- Multi-provider cost governance
How we build it
Template design
The structure every output shares — segments, timing, brand treatment. The pipeline produces variations within it rather than starting fresh each time.
Content assembly
Scripts and assets pulled from your catalogue, CMS or data source, so the video reflects current information rather than a snapshot.
Synthesis
Voice, avatar and generated footage where they are appropriate, composited with real assets rather than replacing them wholesale.
Assembly and render
Programmatic editing, timing and captioning; rendering queued and parallelised for volume.
Review gate
A human approval step before publication. Generated video fails in ways that are obvious to a person and invisible to a metric.
Distribution
Format variants per channel, with the aspect ratios and length limits each one enforces.
The stack
GENERATION
Text-to-speech, avatar synthesis and generative video, selected per segment rather than committing to one vendor.
ASSEMBLY
FFmpeg and programmatic editing for deterministic, repeatable composition.
ORCHESTRATION
Queued render pipelines with retries and cost tracking per output.
ASSET MANAGEMENT
Versioned brand assets, voices and templates.
LOCALISATION
Translation, re-voicing and caption generation per market.
DELIVERY
Encoding per channel and publication through their APIs.
What it connects to
- Product catalogues and PIM
- CMS and DAM systems
- YouTube, social and ad platforms
- LMS and training platforms
- CRM for personalised outreach
- Translation and localisation services
Where teams use it
Ecommerce
Product videos generated per SKU and refreshed automatically as the catalogue changes.
Training
Course modules kept current, re-rendered when the underlying policy or procedure changes.
Localisation
One production re-voiced and re-captioned across markets without reshooting.
Sales
Personalised outreach video at a volume no team could record.
Real estate
Listing walkthroughs assembled from photography and property data.
Internal comms
Routine updates produced without occupying a production team.
How a build runs
Format definition
1–2 weeks
Template, brand treatment and quality bar agreed on sample outputs.
Pipeline build
3–5 weeks
Assembly and rendering producing consistent output from real data.
Integration
2–3 weeks
Source systems and distribution channels connected.
Pilot
2 weeks
A production batch with human review on every output.
Scale
ongoing
Volume, languages and formats extended.
When this is the wrong answer
For a single flagship piece, hire a production team. This pays for itself on repetition and volume, and on nothing else.
Generated video still needs human review before publication. The failures are obvious to a person and invisible to any automated check we can currently build.
Synthetic voice and likeness carry consent and disclosure obligations that vary by market. That is a legal question to settle before the pipeline exists, not after.
Render cost scales with output. At high volume it becomes a real line item and belongs in the business case rather than in a footnote.
Proof
Agentic video production across 11 pipeline types
Instruction-driven video production orchestrated by an LLM director — explainers, avatar spokespersons and localization dubs from declarative manifests.
Frequently asked questions
How does agentic video production work?
An LLM director reads a declarative manifest and orchestrates generation — footage, voice, music, composition — across 11 specialized pipeline types.
Can we swap AI providers as prices change?
Yes — our dynamic tool registry enables zero-code provider swapping with cost governance across video, image, TTS and music generation.
What volume can it produce?
Pipelines are built for scale: batch localization, per-market variants and template-driven series without per-video manual editing.
Will it look obviously generated?
Some of it will, which is why every output goes through human review before publication. The failures are obvious to a person and invisible to any automated check we can currently build. Where quality matters more than volume, this is the wrong tool.
Do we need consent for synthetic voices or faces?
Yes, documented and revocable, and the rules vary by market. That is a legal question to settle before the pipeline exists rather than after, and using a likeness after consent is withdrawn is a legal problem rather than a technical one.
How much does rendering cost at volume?
It scales with output and becomes a real line item, which is why it belongs in the business case rather than a footnote. We track cost per rendered output from the first pilot batch.
Can it use our existing brand assets?
That is the normal case. Generated components are composited with your real footage, logos, fonts and colour treatment rather than replacing them, which is also what keeps output recognisably yours.
What about other languages?
Re-voicing and caption generation per market, from one production, with lip-sync where the format needs it. Localisation is usually the clearest return on this pipeline because the alternative is reshooting.
When should we not use this?
For a single flagship piece. Hire a production team. This earns its place on repetition and volume — product variants, training modules, localisation, personalised outreach — and on nothing else.
Who owns the code and the models?
You do, from the first commit. Work happens in your repository under your licence and the contract assigns IP outright. We keep no rights, hold no keys you cannot rotate, and build nothing proprietary that makes leaving expensive.
How do we know whether it worked?
We agree the metric before the build and baseline it before anything changes, so the comparison is possible afterwards. Without a baseline every result can be described as a success, which is why so many AI projects are.
Can our own team maintain it after handover?
That is the intended end state. We use standard, widely-known technology rather than anything clever, document decisions as they are made rather than at the end, and run handover sessions with your engineers. If a system can only be maintained by us, we have built it wrong.
