# Video Clone

The Video Clone method lets you take any short video and recreate it with your own product seamlessly integrated.

### **Best for:**

* Refreshing high-performing ads
* Recreating proven video formats with your own product
* Repurposing influencer and UGC-style videos
* Scaling winning concepts without reshooting
* Testing new products in familiar, reliable formats

### How to use Video Clone <a href="#h_f6763b7b3a" id="h_f6763b7b3a"></a>

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### Open Video Clone

Click on the **Video** tile in your Holo dashboard and choose **Video Clone**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Select your source video

Upload an MP4 file (maximum 12 seconds) or pick a video from My Videos if you want to use a video created by Holo.

{% hint style="success" %}
Choose high-quality source videos. Clear lighting, visible subject, and stable camera movement tend to clone best
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Add instructions(optional)

Add instructions if you want to guide the transformation with specific creative direction.\
​\
Examples:

* “Make it feel cozy and warm, winter-themed.”
* “Turn this into a skincare demo with a clean, minimal aesthetic.”
* “Replace the drink with our protein shake pouch.”

Leaving this blank is perfectly fine — Holo will still clone the video based on your Brand DNA.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Choose aspect ratio and duration

Choose the desired video format and length. Once everything looks good, proceed to cloning.&#x20;

Your finished video will appear in your **Library** as an MP4 in the chosen aspect ratio. From there, you can **edit, delete, download, or post** them to your connected social media accounts.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Edit your video

After generating a video, you can open it in the editor to make quick adjustments before exporting. Click on the video in the **Library** and then **Open in Editor**.&#x20;

In the editor, you can:

* **Add captions** to your video
* **Add music** or sound
* **Add media** such as extra images or videos
* **Add overlays** on top of your video
* **Add text and subtitles**
* **Cut** parts of the video on the timeline

Once your edits are done, click **Export** to save the final version.
{% endstep %}
