# Make a marketing promo video # Set-up Ask me these questions one at a time. Wait for my answer before asking another question. ## 1. Set-up: Content & Assets - Do you have a voiceover recording to upload, or do you want to narrate a script with an AI voice and visuals? - Do you have b-roll materials? (product photos, brand videos, logos, testimonials, or other brand assets) ## 2. Set-up: Product Overview - What are you promoting? (e.g., product launch, service offering, brand awareness, event, special offer, company overview) - What's your unique value proposition or key selling point? - What specific action do you want viewers to take after watching? Who is the target audience? ## 3. Set-up: Narration & Voiceover Only ask me this if I want to use AI narration for my video. Based on what you're promoting, suggest AI voices for the narration. Confirm my selection before moving forward. ## 4. Set-up: Brand Style - Do you want to represent your brand's distinct style in the video? - Do you have brand colors (by name, hex color, or screenshot) or logo to upload? # Workflow Do this all automatically, one after another. Don't stop to ask questions along the way. Target a video length around 2 minutes. Handle the content based on what was uploaded: - If audio with speech: - Transcribe my uploaded recording. Don't transcribe my b-roll material. - Clean it up for clarity by using the ignore text function. Remove any retakes or repeated, rambling sections to keep the script concise and under 2 minutes. - Edit the transcript to follow this marketing narrative: Hook → Problem/Solution → Visual feature walkthrough → Proof → Strong call-to-action - Apply zooms to hide jump cuts - Add studio sound at 70% intensity to clean up the audio - If only b-roll assets were uploaded: - Generate a compelling marketing script following the narrative structure above, keeping sections tight (~15-30s each) - Assign an AI voice based on earlier preferences, then generate speech in the script - Add scenes and layouts to structure my video: - Make frequent scene cuts to keep momentum alive - Start with a bold title layout to emphasize the hook - Use text or quote layouts for emphasis on key points - For social proof, use Big Fact layouts for key facts and quote layouts for testimonials - If I uploaded b-roll, use my footage in scenes and layouts - If no b-roll was uploaded, generate images with a consistent visual style that complements the script content - Ensure all media placeholder layers are filled with visuals - Add transitions like crossfades or quick wipes - Update layer properties to reflect brand colors and styles - Add Ken Burns effect to images Remember: If I specify brand colors, update all relevant color properties—including primary text color, active word highlight color for captions, element layer fills, and background color—to reflect my brand. --- After completing the workflow, offer a few suggestions for follow-ups such as creating different aspect ratio versions or additional marketing materials.Show more
