Using the AI Image Generator (Beta)

Overview

The SundaySky AI Image Generator, developed with Google Vertex, can transform your ideas and input into a high-resolution image.

The AI Image Generator is designed for both novice and expert prompt writers. With an easy-to-use and friendly prompt generator, you are sure to generate the images that will support your video's message. One of the tool's main features is the ability to use the voice-over in the video as a starting point for generating the prompt.

Currently in beta release, the AI Image Generator will be continuously improved and refined to ensure that its output perfectly matches your needs.

Generating a New Image

1.	From the scene line-up, select the relevant scene.
2.	Select the media placeholder to which you want to add an image.
3.	On the toolbar, click the Generate an image icon.
	Click to see another access point for this action
4.	(Optional) If this is the first time that you are accessing the AI Image Generator, you will need to accept the terms and conditions before continuing.
	The AI Image Generator is displayed.
5.	In the Prompt box, describe the image that you want to generate. ▶ You can also use the Copilot Prompt Generator if you would like the SundaySky AI Copilot to assist you in writing a prompt. ▶ For recommendations on how to write an effective prompt, see Tips for Using the AI Image Generator.
6.	Select a style for the image.
	Click to see brief descriptions of the styles Style Description Photograph High-resolution photorealistic images with a clean, professional look. Close-up Macro photographic style with tight framing and shallow depth of field for visual impact. 2D illustration Simple 2D art with clean lines, bold shapes, and a minimalist aesthetic. 3D illustration Stylized 3D illustration with bold colors that create playful and eye-catching images. Black and white photo High contrast black and white photography that evokes a timeless, dramatic mood. Cinematic photo A high-end film photographic style that generates dramatic images with a narrow plane of focus, and distinctive elements like lens flares and soft background blur. Icon Minimalist icons used to communicate concepts efficiently in bullet placeholders. Aerial Striking bird's-eye photos, revealing a unique overhead perspective and visually stunning compositions. None If you are not sure which style to select, we recommend None. If you described a style in the prompt that you wrote (e.g. pop art), None would also be the best choice.
7.	Click Generate image.
	The generated images (up to four) are displayed.
	After the images are generated, you can continue to any of the following actions:
	Preview an image Add an image to the scene Save an image in a folder Regenerate a new image You can also double-click the image to preview it. Select the desired image and then click Use image at the bottom of the AI Image Generator. The image is added to the media placeholder. It is also added automatically to Your Media. An image can be saved for future use without being added to the current video. 1. Click the Options menu on the image thumbnail.   2. Depending on where you want to save the image, select Add to Folder or Add to Your Media.   If you are not happy with the results, you can generate new images using the options described below. When you regenerate images, the results may look very different from the previous results. This is because the AI algorithm does not "remember" what was already generated and essentially starts from scratch. ● Edit the description in the prompt box.   ● Click Copilot Prompt Generator to launch the AI Copilot and begin by typing prompt. The conversational chat with the AI Copilot can help to finetune the prompt, resulting in a more exact image.   ● Select a different style.   After making the changes, click Generate again at the bottom of the AI Image Generator. Note: If, initially, you used the Copilot Prompt Generator to create a prompt, you can continue to refine the prompt by clicking Copilot Prompt Generator beneath the prompt box. After accessing the AI Copilot, you'll see your previous conversation and can continue from there.

Using the Copilot Prompt Generator

Instead of writing a prompt directly in the prompt box, you can use the SundaySky AI Copilot to assist you in formulating an effective prompt.

1.	Click Copilot Prompt Generator beneath the prompt box.
2.	The Copilot Prompt Generator is launched.
3.	In the conversation box, type a description of the image that you want to generate. ▶ If the scene includes a voice-over narration, you can use that as your starting point by typing voice-over.
4.	Press ENTER or click Submit.
	AI Copilot will then ask three questions (example below) to which you'll need to respond with one of the answer options or type in your own answer. After the last question, you can request to adjust the prompt or add more details.
5.	When you are happy with the prompt that was formulated, click Insert prompt.
	The prompt provided by AI Copilot is inserted into the prompt box.
6.	(Optional) Edit the prompt.
7.	Continue with selecting a style.
