Tips & Best Practices
Choose the right workflow: Idea to Video for topics, Article to Video for repurposing, Edit Video Using Text for existing footage
Be specific in prompts: include target platform, approx length, audience, and tone (educational, casual, high-energy)
Write scripts like you talk: short sentences, everyday words, strong hook in first 3-5 seconds
Add visual cues in script like [show graph] or [screen recording] to help swap in better visuals later
Review each scene in storyboard: replace generic stock where it feels off-brand, adjust timing so lines finish before cuts
Set Brand Kit with logo, colors, fonts, subtitle style and apply at project level for consistency
Batch production: script 5-10 related videos then run through Pictory in one session for consistent style
