# Make a cinematic promo video without picking up a camera

> A promo that once needed a camera crew can now start from one sentence and a few screenshots.

Turn one sentence about your offer and a few screenshots into a shot-by-shot promo plan: the script, scenes, on-screen text, music mood, and voiceover.

## The prompt

Fill in the parts in [square brackets], or leave them and the AI will ask you for them.

```text
Plan a 30-second promo video for [YOUR OFFER, e.g. a 6-week group program]. The one-line promise: [YOUR PROMISE, e.g. calmer mornings in 6 weeks]. The audience: [YOUR IDEAL CLIENT, e.g. working moms]. I've uploaded [NUMBER OF IMAGES, e.g. 4] screenshots or photos to use.

Style: high-end and minimal. One idea per shot, lots of empty space, and one accent color: [ACCENT COLOR, e.g. coral]. A clean modern font. Smooth, simple motion. No flashy effects, no lens flares, no shaky camera.

Give me:
1. A voiceover script of about 70 words that opens with a hook in the first 2 seconds.
2. A shot list with timing for each shot, what's on screen, which image to use, and how it moves.
3. On-screen text for each shot, 5 words or fewer, no periods.
4. The music mood and tempo, and where the beat should drop.
5. A final shot with my name and a clear call to action.

Show me the storyboard first, then ask what to change.
```

## Step by step

1. Write one sentence about your offer and gather 3 to 5 screenshots or photos.
2. Paste the prompt and upload the images.
3. Use the plan in your video app, or ask Claude to build the scenes as an animated page.
4. Add a voiceover in your own voice or a built-in AI voice.

## What you'll get

A full promo storyboard: the hook, a voiceover script, a timed shot list, on-screen text, and music direction.
