Approve the script, then generate — human gates for AI video
Most “AI video generator” landings bury control. Viralflicks puts two hard stops in the product path — the same rule as our Video Generation PRD: nothing generates and nothing publishes without your click.
Steps
- Start from a brief. Use an Advisor suggestion or enter a topic in Generate. Prefer connected-channel context when available.
- Review the script (Gate 1). Edit if needed, then explicitly approve. Render does not start until you approve.
- Wait for the draft. Generation may take a few minutes. Progress is shown honestly — not instant “magic.”
- Approve the video (Gate 2). Watch the draft. Approve only when you are ready. Publish stays blocked until then.
- Publish when you choose. Send to connected platforms under your control. TikTok may be draft depending on Direct Post.

Frequently asked questions
Can I turn off the approval gates?
No. Product rule: nothing generates and nothing publishes without an explicit approval click. There is no always-approve setting.
Why show gates when competitors hide them?
One-click funnels (VideoExpress-style demos, some prompt-to-publish tools) optimize for speed. Creators who connect real channels need control — especially before anything hits TikTok, Reels, or Shorts.
