Foxy has four video generation flows. Knowing which one to use makes the difference between "close to what I wanted" and "exactly what I wanted."
The four flows
1. Custom prompt (Text-to-Video)
You write the prompt from scratch.
Where: Create → Custom prompt tile
Best for: you have a specific scene in mind and want full control
Prompt control: full — you describe everything
2. Image-to-Video
Animate an image from your gallery.
Where: open any image → tap the play (Make video) icon → write an action prompt
Best for: you have a great image and want to bring it to life
Prompt control: full — you describe the action; setting and look are inherited from the source image
3. Video templates
Pick a ready-made scene.
Where: Create → Video → browse the template grid
Best for: fastest way to get a great video without writing a prompt
Prompt control: none — the prompt is locked. You pick a template and run it as-is
4. Example-prompt videos
Reuse a video prompt you've seen.
Where: tap "Reuse" on any example video in the gallery
Best for: recreating a look you've seen
Prompt control: none — uses the original video's prompt
Which one should you use?
I want to… | Use… |
Write my own scene from scratch | Custom prompt |
Animate an image I already love | Image-to-Video |
Move fast with a curated look | Templates |
Recreate a video I saw | Example-prompt |
Important: template prompts are locked
If you pick a template and want to tweak it — change the outfit, the setting, the action — you can't. Templates are fixed scenes. To customize, start over from Create → Custom prompt and write the version you actually want.
Tips for great prompts
Be specific and visual — describe what we'd see, not abstract feelings
One main action per prompt — videos are short, so focus on one moment
Iterate — small wording changes can produce very different results
