Write prompts that deliver great results

Video Agent can only create what you describe. A clear prompt gives you a video you can use on the first try and saves credits on revisions.

What to include

  • Goal: what the video should achieve, such as teaching, announcing, or selling.
  • Audience: who will watch it, such as new customers, employees, or students.
  • Length: how long it should be, for example, 30 seconds or 2 minutes.
  • Tone: for example, friendly, professional, or energetic.
  • Must-haves: facts, names, numbers, or steps that must appear.
  • Call to action: what viewers should do at the end.

A weak prompt and a strong prompt

Weak: "Create a video about our new feature."

Strong: "Create a 45-second video for existing customers to announce our new scheduling feature. Keep it professional but warm. Cover three points: booking meetings in one click, automatic reminders, and calendar syncing. End with: Try it today in your dashboard."

Use your own script

If you already have a script, paste it into the Script box in the options panel. Video Agent keeps your wording. For help writing a script, click Script Writer. To learn more about writing for video, see Scripting.

Add files and instructions

The options panel
Use Instructions for rules and Attachments for your own files.
  • Click + in the prompt box, or select Attachments in the options panel, to add your own images, slides, or video. Video Agent will use them in the video.
  • Click Instructions to add rules for the entire video, such as "Keep each scene under 8 seconds" or "Show the product name on screen in every scene."
  • Click Brand System to use your saved colours, fonts, and logo. To set them up, see Brand kit.

Tips

  • Put the most important point first.
  • Ask for one video at a time.
  • If the result is close but not quite right, ask for changes in the chat instead of starting over. See Revise your video in the chat.
