Summary  
This chapter demonstrates how to craft detailed, parameter-rich prompts (including motion and duration) to control generative AI outputs and how to integrate automated post-processing steps like captioning into a unified pipeline.

General domain of usage  
Video production

**AI video generation** creates video clips from text prompts, adding motion and timing to AI-generated visuals. **Captions AI** is an editing platform that enhances videos with captions, cutaway visuals, and music to create polished short-form content.

Definition

AI video generation currently produces clips of five to ten seconds maximum. These are not finished videos on their own — they are raw material to be compiled and edited. Think of them the way you would think of B-roll footage.


* **Upload your video** to Captions AI. This can be a HeyGen avatar video or any talking-head footage you want to edit.

* **Choose a caption template** that matches your content style. Templates control the caption design, positioning, colours, and animations.

* **Review and export** the result. Captions AI automatically generates captions and adds relevant cutaway visuals. Make any necessary corrections, then export the final video.

Most of the workflow is automated. The review step is typically the only manual part of the process.

Note

What is typically the only manual step when using Captions AI?
