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.

Works with every top AI model
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.
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.
