# Quickstart

> Take one product video from upload to a published review page.

This walks the whole path once. Budget about fifteen minutes, most of which is Guino
processing your video while you fill in details.

<Warning>
  Before your first publish, set your Amazon affiliate tag. New accounts start with a
  placeholder tag, which means a perfectly published page can credit nobody. See
  [Set your affiliate tag](/start/affiliate-tag). It takes one minute.
</Warning>

## What you need

* A product review video you filmed. Any common format works.
* The Amazon product link for the item in the video.
* A paid plan if you intend to publish. Free accounts can run the whole pipeline and
  edit the result, but the Publish button stays locked. See [Plans and billing](/start/plans-and-billing).

## Step by step

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open ContentPilot" icon="play">
    Go to **Create** in the sidebar. This is ContentPilot, the flow that turns a video
    into a review page.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Paste the Amazon link" icon="link">
    Guino reads the product code out of the URL and looks up the product name, brand,
    and category so you do not have to type them.

    <Note>
      Any product detail Guino pulls in is for your own setup screens only. Amazon
      product photos, star ratings, prices, and customer reviews never appear on your
      published page. That is an Amazon Associates requirement, not a Guino preference.
    </Note>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Upload the video" icon="upload">
    The upload goes straight from your browser to Guino storage, so it does not stall
    on a slow middle step.

    The useful part: the moment the upload finishes, Guino quietly starts pulling the
    audio and transcribing it in the background while you are still filling in product
    details. By the time you press Generate, most of the work is already done.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pick a writing quality, then Generate" icon="wand-magic-sparkles">
    Three options:

    | Tier     | Use it for                                                                  |
    | -------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
    | Quick    | Fast drafts, simple products, high volume days                              |
    | Standard | The default. Right for almost everything                                    |
    | Best     | Your flagship reviews, competitive products, anything you will promote hard |

    Then press Generate and watch the progress. Guino extracts the audio and
    screenshots, transcribes your voice, picks the best frames, and writes the article.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review the completion screen" icon="clipboard-check">
    When generation finishes you get a summary: word count, which compliance checks
    passed, a preview of the page on desktop and mobile, and a content analysis of the
    draft.

    From here, choose **Open Review Editor** to edit, or **Publish Now** if you are
    happy.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Edit in Guino Studio" icon="pen-ruler">
    The [Review Editor](/studio/review-editor) is where you make it yours. Rewrite
    headings and paragraphs, reorder sections, hide the ones you do not want, swap
    screenshots, and set your colours and fonts.

    Your edits save automatically as a draft. Nothing you type changes your live page
    until you publish again.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Publish" icon="globe">
    Guino runs a readiness check first and tells you anything that would cost you money,
    such as a missing affiliate tag. Warnings do not block you. You can always choose
    "Publish anyway", because it is your page.

    See [Publishing](/studio/publishing) for what happens next.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Then reuse the same video

You are not finished. The upload sitting in Igloo can feed two more outputs with no
extra filming:

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="ClipPilot" icon="film" href="/pilots/clippilot">
    Turn it into a vertical clip with captions burned in, plus written copy for each
    platform.
  </Card>

  <Card title="ListingPilot" icon="tag" href="/pilots/listingpilot">
    Turn it into a resale listing. eBay publishes for real from inside Guino.
  </Card>
