Create AI Image

The media library includes a feature that allows you to add AI images. It automatically generates background images based on the content entered for each slide.

You can generate AI images in various styles such as realistic, digital art, vector, flat, contemporary illustration, watercolor style, and more.

Selecting AI Image Categories

< Selecting AI images from the category panel on the left >

By default, categories pull stock libraries from Pexels or Pixabay. Click the category search button to select AI images.

Add AI Image

< Add public AI image window >

When you press the + Add button, a modal window appears to add AI images. By default, if there is a text block entered within the slide, the text will be fetched.

The size of the image to be added can be selected from square, horizontal, and vertical, with the default value being square. (It is recommended to add in square format.)

Videostew’s AI image-addition feature is provided so that anyone can use prompts easily. Normally, images that many people create for their content are quite different from the images they want; to add the highest-quality images, you have to refine the prompt yourself, and that makes high-quality AI image generation possible.

Edit Existing Image

Instead of creating a new one, you can also use an image already placed on a slide. Double-click that image and choose AI Edit Generate, or click the Edit button in the Properties Window.

Because the image currently visible on screen is used as a reference, the resulting image changes only as much as the description you entered, rather than being regenerated from scratch. Just write down only the parts you want to change, like "make the background night" or "change to winter scenery with the same composition".

You can also choose a style from above the Editing Window. Original Style keeps the current image's style as is, and if you choose one of photo, digital art, vector, flat, newspaper illustration, or silhouette, it will be redrawn in that style. If you need a style not in the list, select Custom at the very end and enter your desired style directly.

< Style Picker in the Image Editing Window >

You can leave the edit prompt blank. If you generate by only changing the style without writing anything, the composition and figures remain the same and only the style changes to create the image. This is good to use when you found a photo you like but the video tone and style don't match. However, for styles where people are prerequisite like flat or silhouette, people may appear that weren't in the original, so if you need to keep the composition exactly the same, please check the result once.

This can be used not only for AI-generated images but also for uploaded photos or stock images. It is especially useful when you like the composition of a stock photo but only the color or atmosphere is slightly off.

The result is added as a new item without overwriting the original, and AI credits are used for generation. If you want to pick a new one from the slide's image without any original reference, choose Generate with AI instead of AI Edit Generate.

When you add a regenerated image to the library, the chosen style is saved together. When you open that image again later, the style appears in selected state, so you don't have to remember what you chose when continuing to make with the same style.

If you press Generate Edit again without applying, the previously created result becomes the new reference. If you want to start over from the original, please close the window and reopen it.

When modifying photos containing people or trademarks, please refer to the AI Image Copyright guide for important considerations.

AI Image Search

< Search AI Image Library >

All AI images added by Videostew users are converted into a searchable format and stored in the public library. When you enter a search term, the newly added AI images appear in the list, and you can drag and drop them into the slide from the [library].

Copyright for AI images added in Videostew can be checked in detail in the AI Image Copyright guide document.

Create Similar Style

< Add as Similar Style >

If there is an image you like in the public AI image library, you can click the "Mouse Right Click > Create Similar Style" button to add a similar image. You can also briefly describe the idea you want to add in the text input window, allowing you to add an image that more closely matches the situation you are thinking of.
