Write an article you can stand behind
Start with a small write an article task. Define your audience, input and quality checks. Review the result yourself before sharing.
Read guide1. Write a 60-second brief
Choose one audience and one message. In ChatGPT, request a script with separate columns for spoken words, visuals and evidence needed. Keep unverified claims out of the narration.
2. Record a scratch voice track
Record your own narration to establish timing. ElevenLabs is an optional voice candidate; check its current terms and obtain explicit consent for any voice likeness. Never clone someone’s voice without permission.
3. Prepare a visual shot list
Use your own images or evaluate Adobe Firefly for original concepts. Record the origin and license of every asset. Draft one short movement instruction per shot; do not assume generated assets are automatically cleared for commercial use.
4. Test one short video shot
Evaluate Runway using a small, permitted input. Inspect the result frame by frame. Its free-plan credits are one-time and free exports are watermarked; confirm the available model and export format before spending the test budget.
5. Assemble, caption and review
Combine the approved narration and shots in a video editor. Add accurate captions, balance audio levels and check names, claims and licenses. Export a private pilot first, then watch on a phone before publishing.
Expected output
A reviewed pilot and reusable production checklist.
Limitations
Time and export requirements vary. Verify provider terms. Audio production may require a separate recorder/editor; the listed tools are candidates, not tested integrations.
