Overview
The Video Gen tab in SheetXAI settings configures the AI model used for video generation capabilities. This specialized setting allows you to create videos directly from your spreadsheet data using SAI formulas with a special prefix.
Key Information
Purpose
The Video Gen tab determines which AI video generation model will process your video creation requests. This powerful feature enables you to transform spreadsheet data into dynamic video content without leaving your spreadsheet environment.
How to Use Video Generation
To generate videos using your configured model, you'll use a special prefix in your SAI commands:
#SAI !VIDEO create a 15-second product showcase video for #A highlighting these features #B
The !VIDEO prefix at the beginning of your instruction tells SheetXAI to route this request to your configured video generation model instead of the standard content model.
Note: The
#SAIformat automatically transforms to a spreadsheet formula every few seconds when the chat panel is open. If you need the native Google Sheets vs Excel formula syntax, use the SAI Commands Builder to generate it.
