Video

Video is a planned generation tool in Datavju. Its choice in Organizer → Generate is disabled, so generating footage through Video is not available yet. You can write a shot list in Markdown or use Animate to create an editable SVG scene and export it as MP4.

Current availability

The disabled Video choice has no settings screen, provider selection, duration control or generated footage output. Animate's MP4 export is available for the SVG animations you build there.

  1. Open the context menu on Organizer or a folder.
  2. Open Generate.
  3. Find Video, which is disabled. Choose an enabled tool for the output you need today.

Prepare a video

Use the shot-list sample below to plan a short catalog walkthrough. Each row keeps a visible action beside the words that explain it.

| Shot | What viewers see | Narration |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Catalog opens | Start with the current product catalog. |
| 2 | Available products selected | Show the products available to order. |
| 3 | One product opens | Read its description and specifications. |

Write a shot list

A Markdown table keeps the plan easy to review before you record footage.

  1. Open the destination folder's context menu and choose Create → Markdown.
  2. Paste the sample above into Markdown source.
  3. Choose Preview to read the three shots as a table.
  4. Return to Split to revise actions and narration before using the plan in your recording workflow.

Make an animated diagram clip

Use Animate for a diagram made from editable groups and paths. Its MP4 download exports that scene as a clip.

  1. Choose Create → Animate and set SVG Root to the canvas size you need.
  2. Choose AI Create and enter Create a delayed circle morphing into a square. Choose AI Create in the dialog and inspect the proposal summary.
  3. Choose Apply, then inspect the resulting artwork and sequence timing on the canvas.
  4. Wait for Saved, open the plus-and-chevron menu, choose an output size if needed and select Download MP4.
  5. Review the downloaded clip. For detailed timing and path changes, follow the Animate article.

Limits and common mistakes

  • Footage generation, a Video editor and Video provider settings are not available through this entry yet.
  • Animate exports the SVG scene you build. Use your current recording and editing workflow when you need filmed footage or a soundtrack.
  • Image creates still image files. Keep a shot list, still images and recorded clips clearly named so you can find the material needed for each shot.
  • Generate - choose an available generation tool.
  • Markdown - write and revise a shot list.
  • Animate - edit SVG motion and export an MP4 clip.
  • Image - generate still images.
  • Audio - check the planned Audio entry.
