How to Use NadouPro to Generate AI Stock Footage

Yes. NadouPro can be used to create stock-footage-style AI clips and B-roll: first plan reusable scenes, generate video from text or reference assets, refine the results in Canvas or Workbench, then use post-processing tools such as Ultra HD, Frame Interpolation, Video Trim, and Capture Frame. The safest way to understand this workflow is to “create reusable visual assets,” rather than assuming any stock marketplace will automatically approve them or that they automatically include commercial licenses.

What “AI stock footage” means in this workflow

In a NadouPro workflow, AI stock footage refers to short, reusable video assets: atmospheric shots, product-demo-like inserts, abstract backgrounds, establishing shots, lifestyle moments, transitions, texture boards, or general cinematic B-roll. These clips can support ads, social videos, pitch presentations, short films, documentaries, and internal creative drafts.

NadouPro is iQIYI’s professional AI filmmaking and video creation platform. It integrates Canvas, Workbench, Agents, Skills, Community, Workspace, Library, as well as multimodal nodes for text, images, video, audio, 3D Director, storyboards, and clip-based work.

A practical NadouPro workflow

1. Define the clip as a reusable asset

Start with a clearly scoped production brief. Stock-style clips usually work best when they have one clear subject, one action, one setting, and one intended use. For example, instead of broadly asking for a “business video,” define a shot: a slow push-in toward a laptop in a quiet office, a wide atmospheric city street at sunrise, or a close-up of hands preparing product packaging.

• Subject: a person, object, environment, texture, or abstract visual.
• Action: walking, turning, typing, pouring, drifting light, moving clouds, or a camera push-in.
• Shot language: Close-Up, Medium Shot, Wide Shot, Low Angle, Eye Level, Dolly In, Static Shot, or Orbit.
• Format needs: landscape, portrait, or square, depending on where the asset will later be edited.

2. Choose Canvas for flexible ideation, or Workbench for structured production

Use Canvas when you want to explore multiple clip ideas, connect reference assets, and iterate through text, image, video, and audio nodes. Canvas supports multimodal node organization and can use @ references, so upstream assets can guide downstream generation.

Use Workbench when stock-style clips are part of a larger project. Workbench organizes the production flow from scripts and subjects to storyboards and shots, which is helpful when you need many related B-roll clips with consistent characters, scenes, props, or visual direction.

3. Generate a visual starting point

For a workflow that goes from pure idea to clip, start with Text to Video. Provide the core visual description, camera movement, mood, and composition. If you already have reference assets, use Multi-reference Video to guide the result with images, videos, audio, or other available assets. If the clip needs controlled starting and ending compositions, use Start and End Frames together with prompts to constrain the transition between the two frames.

To maintain visual consistency, you can first create or refine still assets with Text to Image, Image Fusion, Multi-angle, Lighting Effect, Repaint, Crop, and related image editing tools, then use those assets as references in later video generation.

4. Write prompts like shot briefs, not slogans

Good stock-video-style prompts should be specific enough to guide the model, but should not pile up conflicting instructions. Include the subject, environment, action, camera, lighting, and style. If you use NadouPro’s camera parameters for image generation, do not repeat the same settings in the text prompt unless additional clarification is needed.

Prompt section	What to specify
Subject	The main person, object, scene, or abstract visual.
Action	One simple movement or event that can be clearly read in a short clip.
Camera	Shot size, angle, and movement, such as Close-Up, Wide Shot, Dolly In, Orbit, or Static Shot.
Lighting	Key Light, Rim Light, soft window light, harsh sunlight, nighttime atmosphere, or another clear lighting concept.
Use	Whether the clip is for B-roll, an establishing shot, a texture board, or an advertising insert.

5. Use Skills when the clip needs specialized handling

NadouPro Skills can support more targeted clip production. For example, Cinematic Camera Movement is designed for short films, dramatic scenes, ads, storyboard planning, camera blocking, and image-to-video-style production scenarios. Cinematic Image Generation can help create cinematic concept images or visual scenes before video generation. Smart Color Grading can be used when generated video needs a more cinematic color treatment.

If you are preparing prompts for supported Seedance workflows, Seedance 2.5 Prompt Optimizer and Seedance 2.0 Prompt Optimizer are designed to turn raw ideas, story text, assets, references, duration goals, aspect ratios, style, camera notes, dialogue, and editing requirements into clearer prompts for the corresponding models.

6. Improve the clip after generation

After the first generation, check the clip’s motion stability, composition, subject clarity, and editability. NadouPro provides video post-processing and utility features that can help prepare generated clips for broader editing workflows.

• Ultra HD: According to approved product materials, it provides video post-processing with 2× upscaling and output up to 4K.
• Frame Interpolation: Approved materials support 25fps, 30fps, 50fps, and 60fps options.
• Video Trim: Trim video by start and end time.
• Capture Frame: Extract a still frame from a selected moment in a video.
• Clip node: Supports integrating, cropping, and editing image, video, and audio assets on Canvas.

Example prompt patterns

Use these as structural references, not guarantees of results:

• Atmosphere: “Wide Shot of a quiet modern office at dawn, soft window light, subtle dust in the air, slow Dolly In toward an empty desk, calm corporate B-roll mood.”
• Product insert: “Close-Up of a reusable bottle on a kitchen counter, morning Key Light from the left, water droplets on the surface, slow Orbit, clean commercial style.”
• City establishing shot: “High Angle city street after rain, reflections on the pavement, pedestrians moving slowly, Static Shot with gentle ambient motion, cinematic but natural.”
• Abstract background: “Macro texture of flowing translucent fabric, soft Rim Light, slow wave-like movement, minimal background for title overlay.”

Practices to avoid

• Do not assume generated clips will be automatically accepted by stock marketplaces.
• Do not imply rights, releases, pricing, refunds, or commercial license terms unless your team has verified them separately.
• Do not rely on one very long prompt to solve everything; instead, break the asset into decisions such as subject, motion, camera, and lighting.
• Do not treat a model name as proof of a specific output quality, duration, or stock-marketplace-ready result.

Recommended next step

Open NadouPro, create a small Canvas for one B-roll category, and generate three variations of the same shot: a static version, a version with slow camera movement, and a tighter close-up version. Compare which version is easiest to reuse before scaling the workflow into a full asset library.

FAQ

Can NadouPro generate AI stock footage from text?

Yes. NadouPro supports Text to Video, so you can describe a short, reusable scene and generate a video clip. For better results, describe the subject, action, camera, lighting, and intended use.

Can I use reference assets?

Yes. NadouPro supports multimodal references in Canvas, including @ references to available assets, as well as Multi-reference Video workflows that use images, video, audio, and prompts as guiding inputs.

Can NadouPro increase the resolution of AI-generated assets?

Approved materials list Ultra HD as a video post-processing feature that provides 2× upscaling and output up to 4K. It should be treated as a post-processing step, not a promise that every model can natively generate at that resolution.

Should I use Canvas or Workbench?

Use Canvas for flexible ideation and connected node workflows. Use Workbench when the asset belongs to a larger structured project and the project moves from scripts and subjects to storyboards and shots.
