Complete Video Creation Workflow

This example shows how to create a complete video project from start to finish using natural conversation with Claude.

Example 1: Simple Product Video

[Claude uses CreateVideoProject]
✓ Created project: "TaskFlow Product Intro"

[Claude uses AddChapter]
✓ Added chapter: "Introduction" (30 seconds)

[Claude uses AddVideoPrompt with detailed prompt]

- Tagline display

Example 2: Multi-Chapter Tutorial Video

User: I need a tutorial video with these sections:
- Introduction (10 seconds)
- Setup Instructions (45 seconds)
- First Steps (30 seconds)
- Conclusion (15 seconds)

Claude: I'll create a comprehensive tutorial video with all four chapters.

[Claude uses CreateVideoProject]
✓ Created project: "Tutorial Video"

[Claude uses AddChapter multiple times]
✓ Chapter 1: "Introduction" (10s)
✓ Chapter 2: "Setup Instructions" (45s)
✓ Chapter 3: "First Steps" (30s)
✓ Chapter 4: "Conclusion" (15s)

Now I'll create content for each chapter. What should each section cover?

User:
- Intro: Welcome message and overview
- Setup: Installation steps with screenshots
- First Steps: Basic navigation tutorial
- Conclusion: Next steps and resources

[Claude uses AddVideoPrompt for each chapter]
✓ Introduction content created
✓ Setup Instructions content created
✓ First Steps content created
✓ Conclusion content created

All chapters are complete! Your tutorial video structure:
1. Introduction (10s) - Welcome and overview
2. Setup Instructions (45s) - Installation guide
3. First Steps (30s) - Navigation tutorial
4. Conclusion (15s) - Next steps

Total duration: 1 minute 40 seconds

Ready to export?

Example 3: Iterative Refinement

User: Create a marketing video for my SaaS product

[Claude creates project and initial content]

User: The intro is too slow - make it more dynamic

[Claude uses AddVideoPrompt with force: true to update]
✓ Updated intro with faster pacing and more dynamic animations

User: Perfect! Now add a testimonials chapter

[Claude uses AddChapter and AddVideoPrompt]
✓ Added "Customer Testimonials" chapter
✓ Created testimonial content with quotes and customer logos

User: Looks great! Export it

[Claude exports the final video]
✓ Your video is ready for download

Common Patterns

Pattern 1: Check Existing Projects First

User: I want to add a chapter to my product video

Claude: Let me check your existing projects first.

[Uses ListVideoProjects]

I found these projects:
1. "Product Demo" (created yesterday)
2. "Tutorial Series" (created last week)

Which one would you like to add a chapter to?

[Uses AddChapter]
✓ Chapter added successfully

Pattern 2: Batch Operations

User: Create 5 social media videos with these topics:
- Feature Announcement
- Customer Success Story
- Tips & Tricks

✓ Project 3: "Tips & Tricks" - Chapter created with content
✓ Project 4: "Behind the Scenes" - Chapter created with content

[Claude creates 3 projects with translated content]
✓ "Promo Video - English"
✓ "Promo Video - Spanish"
✓ "Promo Video - French"

All three versions created with localized text and voiceover notes.

A/B Testing Variants

User: Create two versions of our ad - one focusing on features, one on benefits

[Claude creates 2 projects with different approaches]
✓ "Ad Variant A - Features Focus"
   - Technical specifications
   - Feature demonstrations
   - Product capabilities

✓ "Ad Variant B - Benefits Focus"
   - Customer pain points
   - Solution outcomes
   - Success stories

Both variants exported and ready for testing.

Seasonal Content Updates

User: Update all my product videos with our new holiday branding

[Claude lists projects]
Found 4 product videos. I'll update each with holiday branding:

✓ Updated "Product Intro" with winter theme
✓ Updated "Feature Demo" with holiday colors
✓ Updated "Tutorial" with seasonal graphics
✓ Updated "Testimonials" with holiday overlay

All projects updated and ready for export!

Best Practices

Troubleshooting Examples

Handling Errors

User: Export my project

Claude: I tried to export the project but encountered an issue:
The project has no completed chapters yet.

Let me check the chapter status...

[Uses ListChapters]

I see you have 2 chapters but they don't have content yet.
Would you like me to create content for them?

Checking Status

[Claude uses ExportProject to check status]

Your export is still processing (started 2 minutes ago).
Estimated time remaining: 1-2 minutes.

I'll check again in a moment...
