Use generated clips as material, and build the piece around them.
A prompt-to-video generator turns a description into a clip. Grapple is an editor: it can run a generator through a model you connect, then combine the result with your footage, titles, masks and animation in a project you can keep revising.
What changes when the notes arrive
| Task | In Grapple | With a generated clip alone |
|---|---|---|
| Correct a title | Edit the text layer. Its animation and timing stay as they were. | If the text is part of the generated frames, generate again or cover it in an editor. |
| Change the pace | Trim, ripple, speed-ramp or retime the keys. | Generate again, or retime the clip in an editor. |
| Keep a logo exact | Place the logo file as its own layer. | Depends on how faithfully the model reproduces it. |
| Fix one part of the frame | Mask it, composite over it, or replace that element. | Generate again, or fix it in another tool. |
| Make a vertical version | Have Ape nest the cut in a vertical composition, then reposition the layers. | Generate at the new aspect ratio, or reframe the finished clip. |
| Know how a shot was made | Each Create run is kept with its prompt, references and result. | Depends on the generator's history. |
Generation inside Grapple
The Create workspace runs image, video and audio models from providers you connect, such as Google Veo for video. Plan the shots on the Storyboard page, generate the ones you can't film, and place them in the edit beside your own footage.
A generated clip is finished pixels. When a shot needs parts that move independently, generate them separately, a background plate and the foreground elements, and let Grapple place them in depth with a camera. Ape can run that whole process from a brief.

Pick a short clip and one job, such as a lower third or a trimmed opening. The getting-started guide takes you from import to an exported file.
