# Video Generation There are multiple ways to generate a video. * You can generate a video based on a template (that you create). In this case you only send us a reference to the template and a list of dynamic variables that you'd like us to replace in the template. See more here: [Generating using a template](/video-generation/video-generation/generating-using-a-template.md) * You can generate a video, by sending a whole *video-generation-job* descriptor JSON to our API. See more here: [Generating a video manually](/video-generation/video-generation/generating-a-video-manually.md) {% hint style="warning" %} Video generation through the API does not support interactive videos only regular ones. {% endhint %} Once a video generation has been triggered, you have multiple options to get notified once it's ready.
