#Open the source controls
Select the sources pill on Dashboard for quick switches. For the full grouped view, open the sliders button labeled Advanced settings. The Fine-tune this video dialog groups choices into Footage, Images, and Extras.
An enabled tile allows that source type in the build. It does not promise an exact number of clips from each source. Review the selected source chips in the final confirmation.

#How choices work together
- AI media includes generated video and images. AI images is the images-only alternative; switching to it turns off AI media.
- An AI look sets the visual treatment for generated imagery. It does not recolor stock or web footage.
- A talking-head video supplies its own presenter, so the AI presenter source is not needed for that recording.
- Enabling cast requires generated visuals and can enable an AI source for the project.
- Changing a niche may offer to replace your current sources with that niche’s preset. Use Keep mine when your selection should stay.
#Review cost and suitability
The live estimate updates as you choose sources. The confirmation separates base production, generated media, and presenter charges when applicable. AI narration is free except for Enterprise. On non-enterprise accounts, selecting both AI media and an AI presenter lowers the base to 45 credits per finished minute. Presenter generation and any paid AI media remain separate. Graphics, music, and captions are included as shown in the confirmation.
Before publishing, review the footage and images in the actual video for relevance and applicable usage rights. A source switch is a creative selection, not a guarantee that every asset is suitable for every use.
