Quick start

Last updated: April 13, 2026

This guide walks you through creating, editing, and exporting your first project on Wondercraft.

Create a new project

You can start a new project in two ways:

With Wonda (AI-assisted):

  1. From the homepage, select Video project or Audio project.

  2. Type a prompt describing what you want to create - for example, "Create a 2-minute podcast about productivity tips with two speakers." The prompt can be as simple or as comprehensive as you want.

  3. Click the send button. Wonda generates a script, selects voices, and builds an initial production for you.

You can also browse templates from the homepage to start from a pre-made format. Click to use it in your production.

From scratch (manual)

  1. Click Create from scratch on the homepage, or go to My Projects in the left sidebar and click + New in the top right.

  2. Choose whether to create a video or audio project.

  3. You'll land in the editor with an empty timeline, ready to write your script and add assets manually. If you have a script and want to simply import that, follow the instructions here: 📄 Import and edit own script with one or more speakers

Edit your project

Using Wonda

Click the Wonda icon (purple W) at the top of the left panel to open the AI chat. Describe what you want to change - for example, "Make the intro shorter" or "Add background music." Wonda proposes changes that you can accept or reject before they're applied. See 📄 How to use Wonda for more details.

Editing the script manually

Click any speech clip in the script panel on the right to edit the text directly. You can add, delete, split, or combine clips. For multi-speaker projects, see 📄 Import and edit own script with one or more speakers.

Choosing voices

Click a speaker name to open the voice picker. Browse, preview, and select from Wondercraft's voice library, or create a custom voice. See 📄 Choose the perfect voice for your contentfor guidance.

Generate and add assets

Speech

Switch to Text only view if you're working in a video project. Select a voice for each speaker, then click Generate on individual clips or Generate all/Generate Convo in the top right of the timeline to produce audio for the entire script.

Visuals (video projects only)

Open the various visual tabs in the left panel to add images, video clips, text overlays, or shapes to your timeline. You can also add an avatar from the Avatar tab.

Music and sound effects

Use the Music and SFX tabs in the left panel to browse, preview, and add background music or sound effects. You can also ask Wonda to recommend and add these for you.
