Step 1: The AI Wizard is Your Best Friend

Once you log into your InstaDoodle dashboard, you'll be presented with a few options. For maximum speed and efficiency, we recommend starting with the AI Wizard. Simply give it a topic or paste in your script. For example, you could type, "A marketing video for a new coffee shop." The AI will then generate a full script and a series of corresponding doodle scenes for you. It's the fastest way to get a solid first draft.

Step 2: Customize and Personalize

Now for the fun part. The AI has given you a great starting point, but you'll want to add your personal touch. Click into each scene to:

  • Edit the text: Tweak the wording to match your brand's voice.
  • Swap images: Browse the library of 1000+ doodles or upload your own logo and images.
  • Change the hand style: Select a hand that best fits your video's tone.
This is where you can really make the video your own.

Step 3: Bring it to Life with Audio

A silent video is an ignored video. InstaDoodle gives you three easy options to add audio:

  1. Record your own voiceover: Speak directly into your microphone for a personal touch.
  2. Upload an audio file: Use a professionally recorded voiceover or a favorite music track.
  3. Use the text-to-speech engine: Choose from a variety of AI voices to narrate your script automatically.
Don't forget to add a background music track from the library to complete the experience.

Step 4: Generate and Share Your Masterpiece

Once you are happy with your creation, simply hit the "Generate" button. InstaDoodle's cloud servers will do the heavy lifting and render your video in full HD. You'll receive a notification when it's ready to download. That's it! You've created a professional, engaging doodle video in minutes, not days.
