Your first AI video

A 30-second clip for a family occasion or a product — no timeline editor required.

The lesson

The current state of AI video for regular people: what a text-to-video tool can and can't do, storyboarding a 30-second clip with AI first, and stitching the result into something shareable.

Try it — 60 seconds

Help me storyboard a 30-second video about [occasion/product]: 4 shots, a line of text per shot, and a suggestion for music mood.

Copy it into ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini — whichever you already use. Fill in the brackets with your real life.

Watch out

AI video burns credits fast while you learn. Storyboard in chat (free) until the plan is right, then spend generations on the final.
