The Quick Setup wizard guides you through picking a platform format, choosing an engine, and opening the editor in under a minute — ideal if you're new to Novus.
Opening Quick Setup
Click the hamburger menu (top right) and select 'Quick Setup', or navigate directly to /quick-setup. The wizard runs entirely in your browser — no sign-in required to preview.
Step 1 asks which platform you're creating for (YouTube, TikTok/Reels, Instagram, Spotify Canvas, etc.). This pre-selects the correct aspect ratio and sensible defaults.
Picking an Engine
Step 2 shows a curated set of recommended engines for your chosen platform. Each option shows a live preview so you can see the motion before committing.
After selecting, you'll see a summary and a 'Open in Editor' button. The editor opens pre-configured with your platform format and chosen engine.
Tips
- →You can always switch engines inside the editor — the Quick Setup selection is just a starting point.
