The hands-on AI video editor

Total control over every shot

Manual Mode turns Vivideo into a full AI video editor. Instead of a single prompt, you direct the whole production — choosing a different AI video model for each shot, writing the script scene by scene, and timing every cut on a clear timeline.

It's the mode for marketers, editors and studios who want the final say: build long-form videos up to 10 minutes, keep every scene on-brand, and export in any aspect ratio for any platform.

  • Mix Sora, Veo, Kling and 30+ models in one video
  • Long-form AI video up to 10 minutes
  • Frame-accurate timeline and script editing
  • On-brand captions, music and any export format

Works with every top AI model

Hands-on control, scene by scene

Manual Mode is for creators who want to direct, not just prompt. On a familiar timeline you build the video shot by shot — adding scenes, writing each script, setting avatars and voices, and adjusting timing — while AI generates the actual footage behind every choice you make.

Its signature power is per-shot model selection: use one model for a cinematic establishing shot, another for a fast product close-up, and a third for an avatar segment, all in the same project. You get the strengths of 30+ models without juggling 30+ tools or subscriptions.

Manual Mode completes Vivideo's three-mode workflow. Rough out a video with Auto-Generate or Agentic Chat, then switch to Manual Mode for frame-level polish — brand kit, captions, music and export formats — without leaving the project or paying for another app.

Frequently asked questions

Who is Manual Mode for?

Creators, editors and teams who want precise control over every scene rather than a one-click result — while still using AI to generate the footage.

Can I use different models in one video?

Yes — that's a core strength. Choose the best model per shot and mix them freely in a single project, on one subscription.

Can I start from Auto-Generate?

Yes. Generate a first cut automatically, then open it in Manual Mode to refine scene by scene — nothing is locked.

Can I edit the script per scene?

Yes — every scene has its own script and timing you can edit directly.

Does it support long videos?

Yes — build long-form video up to 10 minutes, scene by scene.

Is Manual Mode free?

You can try Manual Mode free to start, no credit card. Premium models and heavier use are on a paid plan.

Genuinely impressed

I've tried a bunch of AI video tools and Vivideo is the first that actually nailed what I described. A one-line prompt turned into a polished clip in minutes, and the avatars and voices feel real.
