Blueprints
Blueprints let you train our AI to create videos that match your unique style. The more you use Blueprints, the better our AI gets at making videos that look and feel like the ones you’ve made before.
Blueprints help you create videos that are consistent in both structure and style. Structurally, your Blueprint will match elements like the voice and tone if your script, scene order, and what type of content is focused on, and then improve those suggestions to be more consistent over time. Style wise, your Blueprint will look at the type of scene designs that you select most often, what text & media choices you make, and what type of text gets highlighted.
You have 2 options for creating a Blueprint: you can create one from scratch from the Blueprints tab on the left side of your screen, or save an existing video as a Blueprint from the … menu in the dashboard.
Creating a Blueprint from scratch bypasses the script composer, so you won't be able to generate a script for your Blueprint if you create it from scratch. More about creating videos with the script composer here.
If you love a video that you've already created and want to use it as a blueprint for future videos, click on the 3 horizontal dot menu in on that video. This will open a menu where you can click Create Blueprint:

You’ll name your Blueprint, and then it’ll appear in the Blueprints section of your account.

Creating a blueprint from scratch is much the same as creating a video! You’ll need to select a template, adjust your style and structure settings, and then save it.
Choose a base template
The first thing you'll need to do is select a standard template to use as a base for your Blueprint. You can hover your mouse over each template to preview, and clicking on the template will select it and bring you to the next step. When choosing a base template, it's best to focus on the text animations, shapes, scene designs, and overall feel, rather than the fonts and colors, as those will be customized later.
Once you've picked the template that makes your heart sing, you'll select a format. Your best bet is to select the aspect ratio you use most often, but don't worry: you can change this at any time once you're editing your video. After you confirm the format, you’ll need to decide what type of Blueprint you're creating!
This page shows all the same settings you see when creating a video. This means you can set colors, fonts, music, and specific scene designs, and our AI will be trained on all of those elements.
You'll see this warning at the top, to make sure you know that you're editing a blueprint and not a video:

Now, set your style & structure!
Head to the Style tab to choose your overall appearance settings.
The watermark is the logo you'll see in one of the corners of your Lumen5 videos. Generally, watermarks work best when they're a square or squat rectangle in shape. You can upload your logo here, and choose the opacity and positioning using the dropdown menus. Alternatively, you can toggle the green button to not display a watermarked logo.

If you have a brand specific Font, you can upload this to your saved template. This guide can help you through it.
When choosing colors, you can click a palette to select a starting point, and then click individual colours to edit them. You'll have the option to enter the hex code of your brand specific colors, or you can use the colour gradient to fine tune your selection. More about colors here!

Set up scenes:
Now that your style settings are complete, you can start building your video structure! Create new scenes by clicking on the green + button on your scene list, or drag and drop media from the library onto your scene list. You can arrange those in the order that works for your content, and make any changes to your scenes that you'd like. You can edit the colors on individual scenes, add media, change the font, or swap scene designs. Any scenes that you create will influence the type of scenes that our AI will generate using this Blueprint in future videos. You can use this to lay out some general structure, include different scene types as examples, or set up an entirely complete video that just needs minor changes- it's totally up to you!
Finally, create your outro if you're going to be using one.
Saving your Blueprint
Note: Blueprints don't auto-save like videos do, so be sure to click Save Blueprint updates before you leave the page!
Once you're happy with all your settings, give your Blueprint a name and save it! The Blueprint name is in the top left corner; just click to edit it. Clicking Save Blueprint updates ensures your Blueprint will be saved, and you can navigate away from this page if you're finished.
The more videos you create using your Blueprint, the better it'll be at making choices that you like. To train your Blueprint, you'll want to create a few videos that your Blueprint can reference to start. Blueprints can be selected from the templates page, just like a regular template, and the process for creating your video is identical to creating any other video from there! The more videos you create for the Blueprint to learn from, the better your results will be.
Be sure to create separate blueprints for different video types! Right now if you create an AI voiceover blueprint, for example, you won’t be able to use that same blueprint for a talking head video.
When you're training your blueprint, keep what you want rigidly structured, and then change things that you don't! You may want some settings in your Blueprint to vary depending on the content you transform. If you always want the second scene in your video to feature an icon scene, for example, you’ll want to ensure the second scene is an icon scene across all the training videos that you create. If your scene order or structure might change depending on the content length, you’ll want to create or delete scenes in your training videos to ensure that your Blueprint has some variation in length. This goes for all elements of the Blueprint!
There are some things the Blueprint can't do: it won't influence music selection, use GIFs, or apply scene editing choices like trimming and cropping media. Blueprints also won't influence the pacing or voice selection for AI voiceovers.
