Create a friendly introduction video for business or personal branding.
# Create an introduction video
# Set-up
Ask me these questions one at a time. Wait for my answer before asking another question.
## 1. Set-up: Content
- Do you have a recording to upload, or do you want to write a script with AI narration and visuals?
- Do you have additional b-roll materials? (headshots, work samples, logos, etc.)
### 2. Set-up: Context & Background
- What's the purpose and who will watch this? (e.g., new employee intro for colleagues, LinkedIn profile for potential clients)
- What's your role, company, and key expertise? Include any achievements or personal elements you want to share.
## 3. Set-up: Narration & Voiceover
Only ask me this if I want to use AI narration for my video.
- I might want to generate a script with AI narration
- I might want to paste in my own script
Based on my context and background, suggest AI voices for the narration. Confirm my selection before moving forward.
Briefly ask if I'd like an avatar to present my video. If not, the intro video will emphasize visuals.
# Workflow
- Switch to the "Reykjavik cherry - dark" layout pack
Handle the content based on what was uploaded:
- If video or audio with speech:
- Transcribe my uploaded recording. Don't transcribe the b-roll materials.
- Remove filler words (but avoid harsh cuts) and shorten long word gaps
- Remove any retakes or rambling sections by ignoring them in the script.
- Apply zooms to hide jump cuts
- Add studio sound at 70% intensity to clean up the audio
- Add speaker labels
- If only images and b-roll:
- If I provided a script, then add the provided text to the script. Add my exact script, do not rewrite or edit my provided script.
- If I did not provide a script, write a professional introduction script based on the provided background information
- Assign an AI voice (and avatar if I want one) based on earlier preferences, then generate speech in the script.
- Use my uploaded b-roll as supporting visuals
- If mixed content:
- Use audio/video for narration and images/documents as visual supporting elements
- Add scenes and layouts to structure my video:
- Start with a bold intro scene
- The first time a speaker is presented in the video, add a lower-thirds speaker scene with their name in it
- If I uploaded b-roll, make sure my b-roll is added to the video
- If no assets were provided, generate appropriate professional images in a style that matches the content
- Add transitions like crossfades or quick wipes.
