Divide the idea into shots, prepare references, test generation, and assemble the scenes with audio.
What will you get?A shot plan, references, and generation prompts you can review before production.
Let's understand the idea
A video is more than a few nice shots put together. You need to know why each shot is there and how it relates to the words and the next shot. So we will refine the idea and script first, then see them in a storyboard.
If a character or product appears repeatedly, prepare clear references and keep the key details consistent. Test an important shot before generating the rest, and check the subject's appearance and movement against the original. After generation, editing and audio bring the scenes together into one video.
Tools for this workflow
Some tools help with preparation; others generate the output. Higgsfield and Magnific bring multiple models together. Choose the model for the part you're creating and your available plan.
A dermatologist wants a 30-second video about sunscreen. He wrote the script, checked the information, divided it into four shots, and generated each shot in Flow. Then he assembled them in CapCut with his voice and captions highlighting the important words.
Video publishing package
A title, description, chapters based on actual timestamps, and a thumbnail that conveys the idea. Check that the title does not promise something the video does not deliver.
A shot prompt from a reference
Define the character, product, camera, movement, and audio elements, and test a shot for the model you are using. A camera description does not guarantee the result.
Choose the method before starting
There's more than one way to do this task
Open the menu and choose what fits your inputs and desired result. The method's guide appears directly below it.
Full AI generation
Choose text-to-video or image animation based on the scene. If the model supports first and last frames, prepare them as references for the sequence. This helps but does not guarantee character consistency or transition quality. Produce and review a test shot before the remaining scenes.
Try it on your work: Prepare what you'll work on and start with a small part. Review the result before continuing.
Apply it to something of your own

1Write down who the video is for and whyA short brief with the message, audience, dimensions, and duration.Details
This determines the words, scenes, and duration, instead of generating nice shots without a shared idea.
What should I do?
Define the audience, platform, dimensions, and main message. For example: a 45-second explanation of the water cycle for students.
Prepare the information that must be said, and explain where the video will appear and what you expect viewers to do afterward.
2Refine the script before the visualsA script that sounds natural and fits roughly within the required duration.Details
Generation and editing are easier when the words have been reviewed and fit the time available.
What should I do?
Write an opening that gets into the idea, a connected explanation, and a suitable ending. Let the assistant suggest wording and make the choice yourself.
Read the script aloud, remove repetition, and check names and numbers against their sources.
3Divide the script into shotsA scene table that lets you picture the video before spending credits.Details
The storyboard explains why each shot is there and how it continues the previous one.
What should I do?
Make a table: words or meaning, visuals, subject and camera movement, audio, and duration.
Choose for each scene: generation from a description, image animation, an avatar, or real footage. Not every idea needs the same method.
4Prepare consistent referencesReviewed images and references suitable as generation inputs.Details
References help keep the character, product, and style consistent between shots.
What should I do?
Upload product or character images from the important angles, and define the details that must stay consistent.
Prepare and review the first image for each shot: appearance, text, dimensions, and its relationship to the next scene.
