--- title: "Turn a Judge.me review into a video" canonical_url: https://docs.zvid.io/docs/dashboard/judgeme/ source: docs/dashboard/judgeme.md content_revision: 819c568dfd31d539 --- # Turn a Judge.me review into a video Create a vertical, square or landscape video from one published review in your Judge.me store. Follow three steps inside Zvid: choose a review, choose a style, then preview and create your video. ## Watch the walkthrough [Watch on YouTube: How to connect Judge.me to Zvid and create review videos](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAdBPgs4LuA) ## Before you start You need a signed-in [Zvid account](https://app.zvid.io), access to authorize your Judge.me store, and enough Zvid credits for the video. Your Judge.me account must allow access to the reviews you want to use. You do not need to install n8n or configure a workflow. ## Connect your store 1. Select **Integrations** in the dashboard sidebar, then **Open Judge.me** on its integration card. You can also open [Judge.me in Zvid](https://app.zvid.io/integrations/judgeme) directly. 2. Click **Connect Judge.me**. 3. Review the requested access on Judge.me and authorize the store you want to connect. 4. Return to Zvid and check the connected store shown on the page. Zvid requests review, store and product-read access. Product access supplies the selected product's image and storefront link when available. Your Judge.me access token stays on Zvid's server; you do not need to paste it into the dashboard. If authorization is cancelled or the connection expires before you finish, start **Connect Judge.me** again. If you connected before product access was added, follow the reconnect prompt to enable automatic product details. You can continue with a text-based style or an uploaded image while you postpone this upgrade. ## Choose a published review 1. Browse the published reviews. Use the rating filter and **Load more reviews** to find the one you want. 2. Check its original text, rating and product context. 3. Select **Use this review** to open the style gallery. Hidden, unpublished, empty or unavailable reviews cannot be used. A page can contain no eligible matches even if more pages are available. Try another page or clear the rating filter. If a review becomes unavailable after you select it, choose another review. Reviews are attributed to **Customer** in this release because Judge.me's review response does not document a privacy-safe public display name. Zvid does not expose the reviewer's email address or raw profile name, removes email addresses from review text, and does not add a verified-buyer claim. ## Choose a style Choose from four curated styles. The gallery's playable examples use sample content; your personalized preview comes next. | Style | Presentation | | ----------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Classic Quote | A spacious quote with an editorial finish. | | Product Spotlight | Product photography and the customer's words. Requires a product image. | | Bold Statement | Large type revealing the passage in readable sections. | | Minimal Card | A compact review card with restrained motion. | Choose **Vertical** (9:16), **Square** (1:1) or **Landscape** (16:9), then select a style to open **Make it yours** immediately. Selecting the current style also advances. Playing a sample or changing shape keeps you in the gallery. Each format has a layout designed for its proportions; landscape output is 1920 × 1080. Each style has a brief opening, one or more paced quote scenes, and a compact branded ending. Returning users can reuse their saved style and format. ## Customize the video Play, pause, restart or scrub the personalized motion preview. Previewing is free and does not submit a render. The preview uses your selected review, style, format, branding and music. Music starts when you press Play. The review passage, brand, images/ending and music controls are open by default. You can collapse them individually: - Select a contiguous passage from the original review. Zvid preserves its wording and rating, marks omitted content with ellipses, and keeps the passage when you switch styles. - Set your merchant name and colors. Upload a logo or choose an image from your existing uploads. - For Product Spotlight, use the product image provided by Judge.me or replace it with an upload. You can also supply a public HTTPS image URL. - Change the closing text and destination. The destination's domain appears as text in the video; it is not a clickable video button. - In **Music**, keep **Warm background · Included** at the default 25% volume, select **Use my own music**, or choose **No music**. Adjust **Music volume** while checking the preview. For your own track, use **Upload music**, **Choose existing**, or a public HTTPS **Music link**. Choose music you have permission to use. Enable **Remember these brand settings** to reuse your name, logo, colors, closing text, style and format for this account and store. Product images and destinations belong to the selected review, so switching reviews replaces those details. Music is saved with the current video’s draft and render, separately from your saved branding. Short reviews produce shorter videos. Longer passages flow across readable scenes without changing their wording or order. Very long reviews use an exact excerpt with ellipses; you can choose another passage. The passage selector shows the length limit, up to 1,000 characters depending on the text. Edits update the preview and credit estimate automatically. Wait for that update before generating. If an image cannot load, replace it or remove the optional image. If music cannot load, choose another audio file or turn music off. Background music repeats or trims to fit the video. ## Generate, preview and download 1. Check the motion preview, chosen passage, branding, music volume, duration, estimated credits and available balance. 2. Click **Generate video**. This submits a render and reserves the required credits. 3. Follow the progress on the integration page. You can refresh or return to the page while the job runs. 4. When the video is ready, play it through and check the text, colors, images and music. 5. Select **Download video** to save the finished file, or **Open video library** to find it in **Renders**. The integration follows your Zvid plan's existing render limits. Creating an estimate does not spend render credits. A failed render follows Zvid's existing credit-refund handling; review your [credit history](https://docs.zvid.io/docs/dashboard/credits/) if you need to check the result. Download videos you need to keep before their output availability deadline. The job can remain in **Renders** after its media expires; see [output availability](https://docs.zvid.io/docs/dashboard/videos/#understand-render-status). If a submission is interrupted, return to the current job before trying again. Retrying the same attempt is protected against duplicate submissions. Use **Try another style** to keep the review and branding, or **Create from another review** to start with different feedback. Neither action renders immediately. Each video you subsequently generate is a separate render with its own credit cost. ## Reconnect or disconnect If Judge.me access is no longer valid, use **Reconnect Judge.me** and authorize the store again. If you do not finish authorization, the page will not show a new successful connection. Open **Manage connection** and use **Disconnect** to remove the connection from Zvid. This stops Zvid from fetching new review data using that connection. It does not delete previously generated videos. You can also remove Zvid's permission from your Judge.me account separately. ## Troubleshooting | What you see | What to do | | ---------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Connection unavailable | The integration has not been enabled for this Zvid environment. Try again when setup is complete. | | No published reviews | Clear the rating filter, check another page, and confirm the review is published and visible in Judge.me. Empty reviews cannot be used. | | Access no longer valid | Use **Reconnect Judge.me** and complete authorization. | | Not enough credits | Check [Credits](https://docs.zvid.io/docs/dashboard/credits/), add credits or change your plan, then return to the current review. | | Image cannot be loaded | Upload a replacement, choose an existing upload, or remove the optional image. Product Spotlight requires a product image. | | Product details are missing | Reconnect to approve product-read access. If no image is available for this product, upload one or choose a text-based style. | | Video generation failed | Read the displayed message, check the job in **Renders**, and review your credit history before generating another version. | | Generation temporarily unavailable | Wait until the displayed maintenance or usage limit clears, then try again. | For help, visit https://zvid.io/contact. ## Related guides - [All integrations](https://docs.zvid.io/docs/integrations/) - [View and download renders](https://docs.zvid.io/docs/dashboard/videos/) - [Credits and billing](https://docs.zvid.io/docs/dashboard/credits-and-billing/) - [Troubleshoot a render](https://docs.zvid.io/docs/dashboard/troubleshooting-renders/)
