All Tutorials List — every VidFarm video in one place
The whole course on a single page. Every filmed chapter, in order, with its video, what it covers, and a link through to the full written guide. Watch it top to bottom, or jump to the one thing you're stuck on.
Key takeaways
- This page collects 37 tutorial videos — every chapter of the walkthrough, the Marketplace course, and the standalone deep-dives.
- Chapters are in filmed order: each one assumes the ones above it, so top-to-bottom is the intended path.
- Every title is its own anchor link — copy the address bar after clicking one to send someone straight to that video.
- Each entry links through to the full written chapter, which adds screenshots, copy-paste prompts, and the agent/devcli version of the same workflow.
How to use this page
Every video below is the same clip that lives at the top of its own chapter — this page just puts them all in one scroll. Nothing here replaces the written guides; it's the fastest way to find the right one.
If you're brand new, don't skip around: start with the quick demo, then swipe mode, then agentic editing. Those three take about ten minutes together and they establish the vocabulary every later chapter uses. If you already know what you want, use the filter above or the index below — the titles are anchors, so the link you copy points at the exact video.
Filmed sessions, firstWatch on YouTube
The recordings that are also published on YouTube — up front, so if you arrived here from one of them you don't have to scroll the whole course to find it. Each one plays here too; the YouTube link under the player is the same recording.
These sit at the top by design. Everything below them is the course in filmed order.
Introduce VidFarmSwipe mode — the easiest way to get videos
The lowest-effort path: open Discover → Swipe and keep or skip pre-generated, on-brand videos. Set your product description first; VidFarm auto-recuts proven templates into ads for you and makes more in the background.
The zero-effort entry point, and the honest answer to "I don't want to edit anything." You write a product description once, and VidFarm keeps recutting proven templates into ads for you in the background while you keep or skip them like a dating app. Worth watching even if you plan to edit by hand — it's the fastest way to see which formats fit your offer.

Introduce VidFarmDesktop AI Agents — the best way to use VidFarm
Run a coding agent on your own machine — Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Gemini CLI, Opencode, or Kimi Code — to drive VidFarm with free local rendering, all on the flat-rate subscription you already pay.
The power-user path. A coding agent on your own machine — Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Opencode, Kimi Code — gets a real shell and a real filesystem, which means free local rendering and unattended batches on the flat-rate plan you already pay for. This is the chapter that changes your unit economics rather than your workflow.

Operating ContextTikTok strategy — every post is a ticket
The posture that makes every other chapter pay off: why TikTok rewards audience response rather than effort, why account health is an asset, and how to build viral surface area instead of agonising over one video.
The posture chapter, and the one to watch before you make anything. It reframes a post as a free attention lottery ticket rather than a masterpiece: TikTok scores audience response, not effort, so volume and healthy accounts beat one agonised-over video. It also covers the parts that quietly sink founders — panic-posting into a shadowban, judging strategy from tiny samples, and quitting one week before compounding starts.

Operating ContextStrategy & tactical video production
The full pro session: do the customer homework, run the consultation, source raws, remix templates, bulk-generate under a cost cap, gate everything on a best-practices regime, and distribute to affiliates on a schedule.
The longest video on the blog, and the one that ties the rest together: a full 58-minute pro session, cut down from 2h 12m of raw footage. It opens on the homework almost everyone skips — about-offer.md and about-customer.md, five whys, real customer language off Reddit — then runs the consultation, sources raws, remixes templates, bulk-generates under a 10¢ cap, and schedules the output to affiliates. Watch it for the moment the hooks come back wrong and the fix is to correct the premise rather than the video. That single habit is what makes a batch of fifty relevant instead of merely well-produced.
Operating ContextRepurpose any video into your own ad
The whole product in one demo: Copy Prompt any Discover video, hand it to a desktop agent, and transpose its winning formula onto your product — then dial the same ad from pure-AI (~$1.50) down to $0 by swapping generated video for clipped footage, and save it as a reusable template.
The cheapest recipe on the blog. Take any existing video, reuse a decompose if one exists, mine fresh clips straight from source URLs instead of uploading, keep the voiceover and music, and render locally for $0. Watch it for the cost posture as much as the edit.

Edit Demo — Clone a UGC TestimonialClone a UGC testimonial ad
Re-shoot a creator's winning "talking to camera" testimonial for your own product with an AI creator — Copy Prompt hands it to a desktop agent that builds a character card, a storyboard, then the final AI video, approving each step.
The advanced demo. Import a real UGC testimonial, hit Copy Prompt, hand the whole thing to a desktop coding agent, and watch it build a character card and storyboard before generating the final video — then review it side by side with the original. This is the chapter that shows the ceiling.

DeveloperScripting mode — file-backed flows
Drive VidFarm from repeatable, file-backed scripts so an AI agent can build videos unattended.
Scripting mode turns a video into a set of files an agent can build unattended and repeatably. This is how you go from making one video to making fifty variants overnight.

Standalone deep-diveClone an ad style onto your own product
Borrow a template's look — not its content. Point an agent at a style you like plus your own website, and get an ad that explains your product in that style, in any language.
The distinction this one teaches is the useful part: you're taking the style of a template, not remaking its content. The demo picks a Vox-style motion piece as the reference, hits Copy Prompt, then tells the agent to use that look to explain a completely different product — a business-diagnostic tool — with narration, music, and five animated captions, output in Spanish. It runs in hybrid cost mode, so AI video fills only the gaps the free paintbrushes can't.

Introduce VidFarmVidFarm in 3 minutes — the quick demo
The fastest end-to-end path: pick a template, chat one edit to the AI editor, render, and post. Includes the one-click agent skill for Claude/Codex.
Start here if you only watch one. It runs the entire loop end to end — Discover feed, fork, one chat instruction to the AI editor, render, post — so every later chapter has somewhere to attach. The last minute is the part most people miss: the one-line agent-skill install that hands this same loop to Claude or Codex on your own machine.
Introduce VidFarmAgentic video editing — edit by chatting
What it means to edit short-form video by talking to an AI director instead of dragging clips on a timeline, and why it's faster.
The concept chapter behind everything else. It explains why describing an outcome ("make the hook harder, cut the dead second at 0:04") beats dragging clips, and what the copilot is actually doing to the timeline when it obeys. If the editor ever feels like magic you can't predict, this is the chapter that makes it predictable.
Introduce VidFarmFree vs paid & bring-your-own-key perks
What the free tier includes, what unlocks on a paid plan, and how bringing your own AI keys (BYOK) changes cost and capability.
The money chapter: exactly what the free tier does, what unlocks when you pay, and how bringing your own OpenAI / Gemini / OpenRouter key changes both cost and capability. It also carries the three short provider walkthroughs showing where to create each API key — expand the one for the provider you're on and paste the key straight into the Add AI Key dialog.
SetupRegister & set up VidFarm
Create your account, find your VidFarm API key, add your own AI provider keys, and install the agent skill so an AI can drive VidFarm for you.
The boring one that prevents most support tickets. Registering, finding the Developer settings tab, adding your provider keys, and confirming the account is actually wired up before you burn a render on a misconfiguration. Ten minutes here saves an afternoon later.
Operating ContextThe viral video funnel — angles, hooks & awareness
The operating model behind short-form — awareness stages, angles, and hooks — plus how to run the whole funnel by chatting with VidFarm.
Strategy, not software. Why one product needs several videos — different angles for different awareness levels — and how a hook earns the next two seconds. This is the chapter that decides whether the videos you make actually convert, and it's the framework the chat chips are built on.
Operating ContextCopying competitors (the right way)
Feed a competitor's winning video to VidFarm, decompose why it works, and fork the structure into your own on-brand version.
Copying, done in the way that's both legal and effective: you lift the structure — the beat map, the hook shape, the pacing — and replace the substance with your own. The demo imports a competitor's short, decomposes it into scenes, and rebuilds it as a video that's unmistakably yours.
Edit Demo — Easy RecaptionEdit demo #1 — easy recaption
Fork a proven template and swap only the captions to your message. The gentlest first edit, done entirely by chatting.
Edit demo #1 and the gentlest possible first edit: same video, new words. It's the fastest way to get a feel for how the copilot reads your instruction and applies it to the caption track, and it's genuinely useful on its own for A/B testing hooks.
WalletYour wallet & credits, explained
How credits, cost centers, and rate limits work — what a render actually costs and how to cap spend.
What every line in your billing ledger means. Balance, Stripe top-ups, and an itemized read of which action charged what — so a render, a decompose, and a generation stop feeling like the same opaque "credits" number. Watch this before you scale up a batch.
Edit Demo — Product Feature TeaseEdit demo #2 — product feature tease
Combine your brand media kit and a product demo recording into a punchy feature-tease using the AI editor.
Edit demo #2: the short, punchy format for teasing one feature. The core move is the media swap — keep a proven template's timing and structure, drop your own product footage into its slots. It's the highest hit-rate format for software products.
Sourcing & Clipping RawsThe three paintbrushes
The mental model for sourcing every shot: raw clips, HyperFrames motion graphics, reusable assets, and AI generation.
The mental model that makes sourcing click. Three ways to get footage — clip it from real video, generate it with AI, or upload your own — and when each one is the right brush. Short, conceptual, and it makes every later sourcing chapter faster to follow.
Sourcing & Clipping RawsMy Files — the directory explorer
Where every clip, render, and asset lives: the five file roots, folders, move/copy, and the pop-out explorer.
My Files is a real directory tree, not a dumping ground, and this chapter shows why that matters. Roots, folders, moving and copying, notes and search — the organizational layer that keeps a hundred raws and a dozen forks findable once you're past your first few videos.
Sourcing & Clipping RawsWorkflow — remixing clips
The end-to-end loop of turning a pile of raw clips into a finished remix inside the editor.
The full remix loop in one sitting: open a fork, ask the copilot to swap a scene with a hunted raw, recaption the hook, composite a greenscreen foreground, render. If you want to see how the pieces from the sourcing chapters actually assemble into a finished video, this is the one.
Sourcing & Clipping RawsSourcing & clipping raws with AI
Browse the public raws feed, import a video by URL or upload, and let AI mine the best clips — or clip a subrange yourself.
How to fill your library with usable footage. Drop a YouTube/TikTok/IG/X link or upload a file, then let the AI clipper mine it into matching moments instead of hand-scrubbing for a subrange. Tracers let you label a batch so you can find it again a week later.
Edit Demo — Easy RemixEdit demo #3 — easy remix with raws
Drop your freshly clipped raws into a template and let the AI editor cut them to the beat.
Edit demo #3, and the first one that combines two skills: hunting raws from your library and asking the copilot to place them. This is where sourcing and editing stop being separate chores and start being one prompt.
Edit Demo — Actor ReplacementEdit demo #4 — actor replacement
Keep a template's timing and captions but swap the on-screen actor for your own person or an AI-generated one.
Edit demo #4: swap the person in a scene while keeping the timing, framing, and cuts intact. The obvious use is putting yourself or your product's spokesperson into a format that already works — no reshoot, no green screen studio.
Edit Demo — Animate Static BookEdit demo #5 — animate a static book
Turn a flat book cover or page into a living, moving scene with HyperFrames motion and a consistent character.
Edit demo #5: give a still image motion. Ken Burns moves, parallax, and paced reveals turn a flat book cover or product photo into something that survives a scroll. The cheapest way to make static assets look filmed.
Edit Demo — Animate Static BookCharacter consistency across shots
Build a character sprite card and use reference images so the same face and outfit survive every generated shot.
The chapter that solves AI video's most annoying failure: the same character looking like a different person in every shot. Character cards, folders, and a consistent reference set — the prep work that makes multi-shot AI narrative actually watchable.
Edit Demo — AI Drama SeriesEdit demo #6 — an AI drama series
Storyboard a multi-scene narrative with recurring characters, lock every beat with cheap images, then generate motion into a cohesive series.
Edit demo #6 and the most ambitious one: a multi-scene AI drama built from a storyboard rather than a single prompt. It also shows the cost-confirm step honestly, so you can see what an ambitious generation actually runs you before you approve it.
Edit Demo — Product PromotionEdit demo #7 — product promotion & demos
Turn a product URL or demo recording into a polished promo with hooks, feature beats, and a call to action.
Edit demo #7: the workhorse format. Product on screen, benefit stated, proof shown, call to action. Less clever than the drama series and far more likely to be the video you actually ship this week.
Edit Demo — Motion ExplainersEdit demo #8 — Vox-style motion explainers
Build a kinetic-typography, data-driven explainer where the motion graphics are the message.
Edit demo #8: explainer video in the Vox house style — typographic, diagrammatic, keyframed. Nothing is filmed; every visual is authored. Watch it if your product needs explaining rather than demonstrating.
Support & SettingsTerms of Use & Privacy Policy
The plain-language version of what you agree to, the analytics and data we keep, and how to have your data deleted on request.
What you're agreeing to and what happens to your data, in plain language rather than a wall of clauses. Short, and worth knowing before you upload client footage.
Support & SettingsCancellation & refunds
How to cancel your subscription, what happens to your wallet balance, and the refund policy.
How to cancel, what's refundable, and what isn't — stated up front so you never have to guess. The help accordion covered here is also the fastest route to a human.
DeveloperREST API & the agent skill (for developers)
Every VidFarm workflow is raw REST. Point an AI agent at the skill and it can drive the whole platform for you.
For developers: every step in this course is a REST route, and the agent skill is that API packaged so an AI can drive it without you writing a client. This chapter is the map between the two.
DeveloperInstall the VidFarm devcli locally
Install the command-line director, run it local-first with HyperFrames bundled, and connect it to your account.
Installing the devcli locally, which is what unlocks free local rendering and the file-backed flows. If you watched the Desktop AI Agents chapter and wanted it, this is the install.
DeveloperFree mode with NVIDIA credits
Run the clipping-first free mode on NVIDIA credits — what you can do, and what image/video generation still needs.
The clipping-first free mode running on NVIDIA credits: what it genuinely covers, and which image/video generation steps still need a qualified provider key. Watch it before assuming free mode does everything.

Buy on the MarketplaceIntroducing the VidFarm Marketplace
Why buying from specialist AI video agents beats DIY: skipped R&D, efficient market prices, and the aggregated productivity of every vendor's prompt-engineering.
A tour of the Marketplace — a bazaar of specialist AI video agents, each one a vendor's prompt-engineered setup tuned to a single style. The pitch is simple: someone already burned the iterations to make that style reliable, and invites are free.
Buy on the MarketplaceHow to place an order on the Marketplace
