Before starting the Octo Cut video automation process, ensure you meet the following criteria:

  • Active Subscription: You must be subscribed to the Octo Cut product via the Octoport platform.

  • Account Setup: An active account and login credentials for the web-based Octoport platform are required.

2. Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Log in and Select Octo Cut

Action:

  1. Visit the Octoport web-based platform and log in using your dealership credentials.

    Key Tip: Confirm that your subscription is active and the Octo Cut module is visible. If not, contact support at contact@ai-motion.ai to resolve access issues.

Step 2: Choose Production Mode and Upload Assets

Objective: Set up the foundation for automated video creation using either Smart Cut or Beat Sync.
Action:

  1. Select either "Smart Cut" (for rapid, template-driven editing) or "Beat Sync" (for advanced synchronization with music).
  2. Upload raw footage, or select from the pre-existing asset library. Combine your own media with library assets if desired.

Step 4: Generate, Review, and Publish Video

Objective: Produce and deploy high-retention short videos efficiently.
Action:

  1. Click “Generate Video.” Allow the platform to process and assemble content (typically under 10 minutes per 30-second video).
  2. Preview the generated video for quality, brand consistency, and Localization accuracy.
  3. Download the video or publish directly to your chosen social platforms (e.g., TikTok, Facebook, Instagram) via the Data Dashboard.
    Key Tip: Perform a final review for potential AI errors or localization mismatches before publishing. Cross-check against campaign objectives.

Step 5: Monitor Performance and Iterate

Objective: Optimize future campaigns using data-driven insights.
Action:

  1. Access the Data Dashboard to track content performance, engagement rates, and lead conversion data.
  2. Use insights to refine future video attributes, scripts, and templates for continuous improvement.
