From Prompt to Production: Creating Professional Videos with AI

The Video Marketing Challenge

Video has become essential for marketing and communication, but professional video production traditionally requires specialized skills, expensive equipment, and complex software. AI video creation tools are changing this equation, making professional-quality videos accessible to everyone.

This guide will walk you through creating a marketing video from start to finish using AI tools, with no previous video experience required.

Step 1: Define Your Video's Purpose

Before jumping into creation, clearly define:

• The goal of your video (sales, education, awareness)
• Your target audience
• The key message you want viewers to remember
• The desired action after watching

This clarity will guide your creative decisions throughout the process.

Step 2: Craft Your Script or Outline

Even AI-generated videos need direction. Create a brief outline covering:

• Introduction (hook the viewer's attention)
• Problem or opportunity statement
• Your solution or offering
• Supporting evidence or features
• Call to action

Keep it concise—aim for a 60-90 second video for marketing purposes.

Step 3: Gather Visual Assets

Collect existing assets that could enhance your video:

• Product photos
• Brand logos and graphics
• Existing promotional materials

Don't worry if you don't have everything—the AI can generate missing visuals based on your descriptions.

Step 4: Use JustLab's Video Creation Agent

Now you're ready to bring your video to life:

1. Upload your existing visual assets
2. Enter your script or detailed video description
3. Specify your brand colors and preferred visual style
4. Choose music mood or upload your own soundtrack
5. Select transitions and visual effects that match your brand

Step 5: Review and Refine

When your first draft is ready, review it carefully:

• Is the messaging clear and compelling?
• Does the pacing feel right?
• Are the visuals aligned with your brand?
• Is the call to action clear?

Use natural language to request changes: "Make the intro section 5 seconds longer" or "Change the background music to something more upbeat."

Step 6: Optimize for Your Platform

Different platforms have different requirements. Export versions optimized for:

• Website (landscape, high-resolution)
• Instagram (square or vertical)
• YouTube (landscape with end screens)
• TikTok/Instagram Reels (vertical with captions)

The AI can automatically adapt your video to these different formats.

Step 7: Measure and Iterate

After publishing, track performance metrics like views, engagement, and conversion rates. Use these insights to improve future videos.

The beauty of AI-powered video creation is that you can quickly produce variations to test different approaches without the time and expense traditionally required.
