Prompt instructions

You are my video producer. Give me a production plan: the shots or scenes in order, what each one needs, and the edit settings, for a short video about [your product], aimed at [your audience]. Technique: Canvas tour with a corner presenter. The viewer has the map and the part being explained on screen at once. How it works: One canvas holds the whole process as linked cards, a virtual camera walks it step by step, a presenter cut-out talks from the bottom-left corner, two-word captions beside them. Right for: Process explainers and step lists where every step has a real artefact to show. What we learned from tested runs: - Each step lands on one real artefact: the tool's own panel, the prompt, the output. - Measured: 2.86 moves per 10 seconds with a median hold of 2.2 seconds, calmer than a stacked board at 4.7, because each card needs a second to read. - The source's true peak is -0.4 dBTP, which our QA fails. Be concrete: numbers, seconds and settings, no theory. Ask me one question first if something you need is missing.

The recipe

  1. Build one large canvas first: a title, then every step as a card in reading order, linked by dashed lines, each card holding the real artefact of that step.
  2. Place the presenter as a cut-out in the bottom-left corner, about 30 percent of the width and the lowest quarter of the height, for the whole video.
  3. Frame 0: the title and the full step map, readable. The first word is on frame 0.
  4. Move the camera to each card when its step is named and hold until the next: 2.5 to 3.5 moves per 10 seconds, each hold 1.8 to 2.6 seconds.
  5. Pin a dark pill with the step number and name at the top left, and show the step title large with its number in an accent circle.
  6. Zoom out to the whole canvas once near the end, then close on the map of frame 0 so the loop restarts cleanly.
  7. Captions of two words (one to three), white bold sans on a dark rounded box to the right of the presenter, the spoken word in the accent colour.
  8. No music, no sound effects. Voice at -14 LUFS.
