Make and change videos
- How a promo video gets made When you ask for a promo video, Claude follows the same stages every time.
- Prepare for your first video Use this checklist before you ask Claude for a video.
- Review and approve the storyboard The storyboard review is the first of two approval points.
- Create the voiceover After you approve the storyboard, each cut needs a voice recording, called a take. ElevenLabs generates the takes.
- Review and approve the final videos The final review is the second approval point. Use it to check the finished videos with the real voice before you publish them.
- Change a finished video You can change a video at any time after it's made: new words, a new voice take, a different length, another format, or updated branding.
- Add screenshots, footage, or music By default, the video uses animation only: recreated product screens, animated scenes, and no music.
- Continue or save a project A video project lives inside your product's folder, so you can stop at any stage and come back later.
