Video agent inputs is easiest to handle when you decide the input route that preserves the context your video needs. Record that decision and apply the checks below. Then use the Video Agent when the input or brief is ready. This guide covers prepare the right context for text, link, media and document input routes without repeating the full commercial feature list.
Make the first decision before you start
Use text for a controlled brief, a link for source context, media for visual evidence, and a document for structured reference material. Clean the source first so the agent does not have to guess which details matter.
The goal is a reviewable input, not a perfect promise. If the source fails a rights, clarity, or fit check, replace it before you ask a generation tool to interpret it.
Use the input readiness as a working sheet
Write the answers in plain language. For example, name the one visible action, the one detail that must survive, and the one condition that would make you stop. This keeps the video agent inputs task focused instead of turning it into a collection of decorative instructions.
Fill the input-readiness matrix
Example: for a three-scene product explainer, provide the approved product page. Mark the benefit paragraph, attach authorized product media, and state that the output is a short explainer-not a summary of the whole site.
This video agent inputs matrix is ready when another person can identify the source of truth, the permitted material, and the intended output without asking what to ignore.
Apply the sheet in a short review loop
- 1
- State the job. Write the viewer, the message, and the single outcome this page must support. 2
- Choose the smallest useful input. Remove unrelated details, unsupported claims, and material you do not have permission to use. 3
- Use the Pippit route at the handoff. Bring the prepared input or brief to the Video Agent. Select the workflow that matches the decision you made. 4
- Review the first useful result. Compare it with the check sheet. Keep what supports the job, edit what is local, and stop when a rights or continuity issue cannot be repaired safely.
For this page, the next action is deliberately narrow: prepare the right context for text, link, media and document input routes. A broader sibling task belongs in the other guides collected on the related Video Agent guides.
Know when the result is ready to move on
Accept the work when the central decision is visible, the input remains authorized, and the result does not introduce a new problem that changes the message. If one check fails, return to that field instead of adding more adjectives or more steps. Human review still owns claims, rights, pronunciation, selection, and publication.
FAQs
What can I give a video agent?
Use text for a controlled brief, a link for source context, media for visual evidence, and a document for structured reference material. Mark the source of truth before handoff.
Is text or media better for a video brief?
Use text when the message is settled. Use media when the visual detail matters. Use both only when their roles are explicit and the rights are clear.
How should I prepare a document for a video agent?
Remove unrelated pages, highlight the sections to use, and state the desired output. Keep the document short enough for another reviewer to audit.
Should I upload every available source?
No. Choose the smallest set that proves the intended message. Unrelated pages and media make the input route harder to review and can blur which source controls the output.
What should I do with a private link?
Confirm that the intended workflow can access it, or extract the authorized relevant text into a document. Do not assume a link is usable merely because it opens in your own account.
