AI Video Production Masterclass — Script to Screen

AI Video · Avatar Animation — Scriptwriting, visual scene generation, voice cloning, editing

What you'll learn
Write a production-ready 40–50s video script using an LLM (ChatGPT) that includes voice lines, timestamps, and clear visual prompts.
Create a high-quality AI voiceover (ElevenLabs or equivalent) — including uploading samples, tuning tone, and exporting broadcast-ready audio.
Generate and prepare a personal avatar (realistic or stylized) from photos and clean/resize it for animation.
Produce a lip-synced talking avatar by syncing avatar animation to the generated voice and refining facial expressions.
Create cinematic scene assets from visual prompts (stills or short loops) that match script timing and mood.
Assemble and edit a polished video (avatar, scenes, audio, transitions) in an editor (Camtasia) and perform audio leveling and pacing.
Add accurate captions and finalize export (SRT + MP4) with platform-appropriate settings and finishing touches.
Apply basic legal & ethical practices for voice cloning, image use, licensing, and attribution.

Requirements
Basic computer skills: comfortable installing apps, using a browser, and working with files.
Hardware: a computer with ~4GB free disk, microphone (or smartphone) for optional sample recordings.
Photos: 8–12 clear headshots (different angles/expressions) for avatar generation.
Accounts (free/trial versions OK): ChatGPT (or similar LLM), ElevenLabs (or equivalent voice tool), Canva, DreamFaceApp (or similar lip-sync tool), an image/video generator (Grok or similar), Camtasia (or any timeline video editor), Clipchamp (or captioning tool). Paid plans are helpful but not strictly required — alternatives and workarounds will be shown.
Optional but helpful: basic familiarity with a timeline editor (cut/trim) and a willingness to experiment with prompts.
If you don’t have prior experience, no worries — the course explains each tool step-by-step.

Description
This course contains the use of artificial intelligence. Master a complete, modern AI video production pipeline that you can apply to virtually any format — from personal branding videos and social media clips to explainer videos, online course lessons, marketing promos, YouTube content, and long-form educational material. This hands-on, project-driven course teaches you how to combine today’s most powerful AI tools into one structured, repeatable workflow that saves time while maintaining professional quality.

Instead of overwhelming you with disconnected tools and theory, this course follows a practical, start-to-finish system. You will begin with a simple input — a short bio, resume, or profile — and transform it into a fully produced video. First, you will learn how to use AI for structured scriptwriting, generating timestamped voice lines and cinematic visual prompts that serve as your production blueprint. Then you will convert that script into a natural, expressive AI voiceover, adjusting tone, pacing, and delivery to match your intended message.

From there, you will move into avatar creation, where you generate a high-quality digital representation that can be used across multiple videos. You will refine and prepare the avatar for animation, then bring it to life using lip-sync technology that aligns facial movements with your generated voiceover. Next, you will enhance the visual storytelling by creating AI-generated background scenes or B-roll elements that add depth, mood, and production value.

The course then transitions into full video assembly. You will learn how to structure your timeline, combine audio and visuals effectively, manage pacing, balance sound levels, and apply transitions for a smooth viewing experience. Finally, you will add professional captions, apply finishing touches such as color adjustments and subtle enhancements, and export platform-ready files.

Although the course demonstrates the workflow using a 45-second personal intro project for clarity and efficiency, every method you learn is scalable. The same process can be extended to longer lessons, webinar recordings, marketing campaigns, multilingual versions, and batch video production systems. By the end, you will not just know how to create one video — you will understand how to design an AI-powered video production system that you can reuse, adapt, and scale for consistent, professional results across any format or platform.
