Before starting the rapid AI automotive video production process, ensure you meet the following criteria:

• Subscription: The dealership must have an active Aimotion account and access to Octo Cut via the Octoport platform.

• Template Selection: Decide on campaign objectives and select appropriate video templates (over 200 options based on trends and festivals).
• Script and Voice Preferences: Prepare desired script content and voice settings, or utilize Aimotion’s AI script generation and Voice Cloning features.

• Issue: Video fails to generate due to missing attributes.

• Solution: Double-check that all required fields (brand, model, script, template) are completed before submitting.

• Issue: Voice cloning or avatar replication not matching desired quality.

• Solution: Follow the step-by-step cloning guides precisely; use clear, high-resolution input media.
