Getting started: your first flow in 5 minutes
From signup to a finished MP4 in five minutes. A short walkthrough of running your first flow on Hyperclip — no canvas knowledge required.
This guide gets you from zero to a finished video the fastest way possible. We'll use a flow template — building a flow from scratch is something to learn after you've watched one run end-to-end.
1. Create an account
Sign up at hyperclip.co and pick a plan. You'll land on the dashboard with the credits from your plan ready to spend.
2. Pick a flow template
Hit New project and pick a template — story narration, listicle, and talking-head are good first picks. Each template is a pre-wired graph: script, visuals, voice, captions, music. You don't need to understand it yet — you just need to run it.
3. Fill in the inputs
Templates expose only the choices that matter for that flow: the topic, the tone, the duration. The engine choices, prompt scaffolding, and edit pacing are already set sensibly. Type in your topic and move on.
4. Hit Run
The run takes one to three minutes depending on the flow. You can close the tab — the work runs on our servers, not your laptop. When the final render finishes you'll get a notification with a link to your MP4.
5. Save the flow and run it again
If you like what came out, save the project. Re-running it produces a new video with the same recipe but a fresh topic. Once you've watched a few runs back to back, you'll start seeing the pattern — and that's when it's worth opening the canvas to tweak.
Next steps
- Open the canvas and try changing one node — the script style, the voice, the visual look — and re-run
- Schedule the flow to run daily and let it publish directly to TikTok or YouTube
- Read "How flows work" if you want to understand what's happening under the hood
