## What is the Automated Video Generator Solution?[#](#what-is-the-automated-video-generator-solution)

The Automated Video Generator is a customizable web-based solution that enables you to build templated video experiences using CE.SDK. It supports both user-facing UIs and headless automation — so whether you want users to edit videos manually or generate them via scripts and data inputs, the choice is yours.

At its core, the editor supports **video placeholders**, allowing you to create flexible templates where users or automation scripts can drop in new assets, text, or colors — without altering layout integrity or brand guidelines.

This pre-built solution is ideal for content automation platforms, marketing tools, social media management dashboards, or any workflow where video personalization and speed are critical.

## Key Features[#](#key-features)

*   **Video placeholders for automation**  
    Define editable areas in a video template that users or scripts can replace with their own clips, images, or content — all while keeping layout consistency.
    
*   **Permission-based constraints**  
    Configure placeholder behavior in “creator” mode to restrict movement, styling, or deletion — ensuring end-users stay on-brand.
    
*   **UI or headless execution**  
    Use the interactive editor for in-app editing, or automate video generation entirely via CE.SDK’s headless API.
    
*   **Scalable output generation**  
    Generate multiple variations of a video by swapping placeholder content — ideal for social campaigns, product showcases, or ad creatives.
    
*   **Web-optimized experience**  
    Fully compatible with modern browsers and built for seamless integration in React or vanilla JavaScript apps.
