Showcase: a vertical presenter demo with words that cross out

A presenter in a warm room, a lower third that says "Made by an agent", and bold captions word by word. As he lists the editing tools you no longer need, each one appears as a card and gets struck through. An agent call card, an orange "motion + voice" pill, tea being poured, and a giant orange "10 SECONDS".

Be clear about what this is: the presenter is a generated person, not a customer or a team member, and he is still images, not filmed video. There is no lip sync.

How we made it

  1. A few generated portraits of the same presenter, plus one tea pour still for B-roll.
  2. A slow push on each still, with cuts timed to the voice.
  3. Tool cards drop in and a red line draws through each one on the word.
  4. Captions are word timed from the voice, with keywords in orange, and the 10 SECONDS card slams in with a small shake.

How your agent can make one

Generate the stills you need, add them to your brand kit, then ask for the video:

POST /v1/images
{ "kind": "scene", "aspect": "9:16", "brief": "young man in a dark polo talking to camera in a warm room with framed pictures, shallow depth of field, vertical portrait" }
POST /v1/explainers
{
  "brandId": "<your brand kit>",
  "aspect": "9:16",
  "captions": true,
  "voiceover": true,
  "brief": "25 second vertical demo of our product. Presenter style, list the tools you no longer need and strike each out, show the agent call, end on how fast it was."
}

Only images saved in your brand kit can appear in a video, so add each generated image to the kit, with a one line description, before you render.
