# Video layouts

> Place generated assets in layouts that support narration and scene pacing.

## Overview

Generated assets are most useful when layout decisions make the message obvious.

Use this page to place generated media as background, primary visual, or supporting element.

## Before you start

* Confirm which asset is the visual focal point.
* Decide if generated media should lead the scene or support another element.
* Keep overlay/caption placements in mind before finalizing layout.

## Common layout patterns

* **Full-frame visual**: generated media is the primary scene.
* **Split context**: generated media plus text/camera support.
* **Background support**: generated media behind explanatory overlays.

## Steps

1. Insert generated media into the target scene.
2. Choose the layout pattern that matches your narrative role.
3. Adjust framing and layer order.
4. Ensure captions/text overlays remain readable.
5. Set timing for entry/exit with scene transitions.
6. Preview in sequence with neighboring scenes.

## Check your result

* Layout clearly communicates scene intent.
* No important overlays are obscured.
* Transitions to adjacent scenes feel intentional.

## Troubleshooting

### Scene feels cluttered

Limit to one primary focal element and simplify supporting overlays.

### Media crops key visual detail

Reframe asset or switch layout mode.

### Pace feels slow after insertion

Trim clip duration and reduce transition overhead.
