How to create a product video with Elai

Outline

First, you need to prepare an outline. It will make your video consistent and structural. Your video will consist of slides (or scenes). You can create as many slides as you like, but we recommend keeping the video short not to overwhelm your audience.

For every slide, you should have a visual part (what will be displayed). Also, you need to prepare the speech (text that the presenter will say). You can write it in any text editor of your preference. For now, skip the screencast — it will be generated later.

Here is an example of an outline that you can use to create a promo video for your product:


Intro/Problem

Tell about the problem that your product solves and why it is important.


Example of Visuals

Branded background with some text: “Top 3 reasons to use videos in your knowledge base”.
Below, you can add bullet points:

• Videos are more engaging;
• They create space for a better explanation;
• Videos are more memorable.

Example of Speech

Did you know that 90% of customers prefer video over text? A video makes a better tutorial than a text can ever be. While learning through text, there is only a 10% probability to remember content, compared to 95% probability with video content.


Solution

Provide your solution.


Benefits/More details (Optional)

You can also add a slide with another screencast or text and images to show why your solution is the right one, what benefits your users can get, or add some more details about features you have.


CTA/Conclusions

We suggest adding a call-to-action message at the end of the video. For example, the avatar can say: “So, don’t hesitate to try our demo to receive your first video. It’s 100% free.”
