With Narration Flow

What is the narration flow?​

The With Narration flow is ReelBot’s most powerful and commonly used creation path.

It combines:

  • structured messaging
  • AI voiceover
  • word-level caption synchronization
  • visual storytelling

This flow is designed for clarity, pacing, and retention — not raw automation.

Overview of the steps​

The narration flow follows five deliberate steps:

  1. Topic
  2. Script
  3. Voiceover
  4. Assets
  5. Review & Generate

Each step:

  • has a single responsibility
  • builds on the previous step
  • can be regenerated independently when needed

Step 1: Topic​

The Topic step defines what the video is about.

You can:

  • write your own topic manually, or
  • generate AI topic suggestions

AI topic suggestions​

When generating topics:

  • you provide keywords or context
  • ReelBot returns multiple topic options
  • you choose one to continue with

Only one topic is active at a time.

Once selected:

  • the topic is locked
  • the next step becomes available

Step 2: Script​

The Script step defines what will be said.

You can:

  • write your own script, or
  • generate an AI script based on the topic

Script limits and duration​

Script length is automatically constrained by:

  • the selected video duration
  • natural spoken pacing

This ensures:

  • scripts fit the final video length
  • delivery feels natural, not rushed

Regeneration​

If the script doesn’t feel right:

  • you can regenerate the script
  • tone and duration settings are respected
  • assets and voice remain untouched

Step 3: Voiceover​

The Voiceover step defines how the script is delivered.

In this step, you:

  • select a voice
  • review voice type and accent
  • generate the voiceover

Once generated:

  • a preview player becomes available
  • spoken pacing is locked
  • captions timing is derived from speech marks

Why voice comes before visuals​

In narrated videos:

  • voice controls timing
  • captions follow the voice
  • visuals adapt to delivery

This order ensures accurate synchronization.

Step 4: Assets​

The Assets step defines what is shown visually.

You must select:

  • at least one B-roll video
  • optionally, background music

B-roll sources​

You can choose from:

  • your uploaded videos
  • public library videos
  • AI-generated animated images

Selected assets:

  • can be reordered
  • are previewable
  • are adapted to the chosen orientation

Music (optional)​

If selected:

  • music is mixed under the voice
  • volume is balanced automatically
  • only one track can be used per video

Step 5: Review & Generate​

The Review step summarizes all decisions.

You’ll see:

  • format and duration
  • tone and caption settings
  • selected voice
  • asset count
  • music selection

From here, you can:

  • generate the video
  • go back and adjust specific steps

Video generation​

When you click Generate Video:

  • ReelBot composes the video asynchronously
  • progress is tracked automatically
  • the system polls until completion or failure

On completion:

  • the video is saved as a Project
  • preview and download options appear
  • publishing options become available

Regeneration rules​

ReelBot enforces safe regeneration.

  • Regenerating script does not affect assets
  • Regenerating voice does not affect script
  • Changing duration or tone may require clearing earlier steps

You are always warned before steps are cleared.

Draft behavior​

The narration flow supports automatic drafts.

  • progress is saved continuously
  • you can leave and resume anytime
  • drafts are removed once a project is created

Drafts ensure creation is never interrupted.

Common mistakes to avoid​

  • Changing duration after generating voice
  • Regenerating everything instead of one step
  • Over-optimizing visuals before the message is right

The flow exists to prevent these mistakes.

The CreatorOps perspective​

The narration flow is not a form — it’s a pipeline.

By locking decisions in the right order, ReelBot ensures:

  • consistent pacing
  • accurate captions
  • predictable results
  • safe iteration

This is CreatorOps applied to storytelling.
