*Step by step*

## How to Bring Story & Reels Creation into Your App

*Integrate in a few lines of code on iOS and Android*

We made sure that our the state-of-the-art code and thorough documentation makes the integration process a breeze.   You donât have to worry about discrepancies between platforms as our SDK is powered by one creative engine portable to iOS, Android, and Web, ensuring the same quality regardless of platform used.

*Choose features matching your use case*

Whether itâs stories, reels, or video recording (or all three together) you can choose the best matching features and adjust them as needed to provide your users with a smooth and intuitive experience.   Features can be enabled & disabled by default and behave in a strictly defined way, giving you full control of how your users create content.

*Customize the UI*

Our SDK ships with out-of-the-box UIs to help you launch your app as soon as possible. You can, however, build entirely custom editor UIs on top of our headless API to perfectly fit your brand and specific needs.

*Integrate asset libraries*

Make the creation process more enjoyable and help your users achieve the desired effect, by integrating dynamic & static assets, such as audio tracks, stickers, filters, emojis, GIFs, or whatever will help make their creativity shine.

*Create templates*

Help your users create simple and elaborate videos by providing them with easily adaptable templates. Templates can jump-start their creative process and serve as an inspiration, as well as help you define what type of content is being generated.

*Enable automation*

Producing content doesnât have to be a choice between quality and quantity. Provide users with automation capabilities, such as pre-defined logo placements, branded assets, and subtitles, and let them easily create content at scale.

Integrate AI features that allow creators to instantly generate video content, scripts, captions, visuals, and even voiceovers using simple prompts.   Thanks to model-agnostic AI plugins, you can connect any third-party model or APIâenabling faster, more scalable production of story-driven short-form videos for any platform.
