How it works

From your input to prompt to video

Prompt to Video starts with a written description of the video you want to create. Include the subject, audience, and direction so Catchups.ai can prepare the brief and generate the video. The preset starts with a 30-second vertical target and narration and captions enabled; the example shows a widescreen output.

  1. 01

    Describe the idea

    Write the subject, audience, and main message. Add source facts when the video covers real products or events.

  2. 02

    Review the setup

    Check the prepared video brief and choose the framing and output settings that fit the idea.

  3. 03

    Watch the draft

    Review the generated video for clarity and accuracy before deciding what to refine or share.

Give a rough idea a concrete direction

Explore an explainer, try an angle for a campaign, or prototype a video before committing to a larger series. A useful prompt says who the video is for, what it should explain, and what facts or visual direction it should preserve.

Useful details

Before you create

Do I need to write a full script?

No. This workflow starts from a rough prompt and prepares a video brief. A clear subject and audience are more useful than an unspecified request to make something engaging.

Can I choose the aspect ratio?

Yes. The preset starts at 9:16, while the homepage example uses widescreen. Choose framing for the destination you have in mind.

How is this different from Topic Catchup?

Topic Catchup is a focused research workflow for a topic or event. Prompt to Video starts from your broader creative direction.

What should a useful prompt contain?

Include the subject, intended audience, key message, and any source facts. Describe the tone or visual direction when those matter.
