How to do it, step by step
- 1
Lock the script and the hook before generating a single frame.
- 2
Generate B-roll to fill a real edit, not a video made entirely of generated shots.
- 3
Add captions — most of the audience watches without sound.
What usually goes wrong
Generated footage of identifiable people or brands is a legal problem, not a style choice.
