Creating a Video with AI Copilot

Updated July 21, 2024 21:48

Overview

The SundaySky AI Copilot is an AI Assistant that turns an idea into a video in under five minutes. Using conversational text prompts, the information you provide creates a video, complete with script, media assets, animation, and voice-over narration.

As an added benefit, before Copilot creates your video, you'll receive a brief detailing the content of the video, tone, calls to action, and video length. This brief can be saved, shared with your colleagues, or edited so that Copilot can generate an updated video. You can, for example, create a video with a casual, friendly tone and then use the video's brief to create another version with a more professional tone.

For more information about AI Copilot, see SundaySky AI Copilot (Beta)—FAQ.

Creating a Video with AI Copilot

Click New Video in the sidebar.

Select With AI Copilot.

(Optional) If this is the first time that you are accessing the AI Copilot, you will need to accept the terms and conditions before continuing.

In the prompt box, begin the conversation by typing a short description of the video that you want to create.

AI Copilot will then ask three questions (example below) to which you'll need to respond with the relevant answer. After every question, you can also supply additional details regarding the video that you want to create (see tips below).

Tips for Working with AI Copilot

▶	If you prefer, you can ignore all the options offered by AI Copilot and write your own input instead.
▶	When AI Copilot presents you with multiple options from which to select, you can choose more than one.
▶	If a suggested scene does not meet your requirements, you can ask to change it or add a new one. The same applies to a CTA.
▶	At any stage, you can write "no more questions" to stop AI Copilot from asking questions. AI Copilot will then generate the brief immediately.

At the end of the conversation, based on your input, the video brief is displayed.
▶ The brief is completely editable. Among other edits, you can add or remove scenes, change the order, and increase or decrease the length of the video.

(Optional) Click the Save brief icon if you'd like to save the brief for future use.
▶ Once you type Create in the next step to generate the video, you will no longer be able to save the brief.
