How to Remix This Template in Magic Hour

You can use this template as-is or quickly customize it for your own brand and use case. A practical workflow:

  1. Define your core message

    • One sentence on: who it’s for, what it does, why it’s different
    • Example: “An AI image editor that lets marketers update product shots in minutes, without a designer.”

  2. Write a simple script (60–120 words)
    A reliable structure:

    • Hook (1–2 lines): call out the problem or opportunity
    • Value (3–5 lines): show what your product or idea does
    • Proof (1–2 lines): social proof, outcomes, or use cases
    • CTA (1 line): what you want viewers to do next

    You can pull text straight from a landing page, sales deck, or investor memo.

  3. Describe your visual style in your text prompt
    In the Text-to-Video description, specify:

    • Visual tone: “clean SaaS demo”, “cinematic startup montage”, “playful 2D animation”
    • Brand feeling: “minimal, modern, high contrast”, “friendly and colorful”, “serious, enterprise”
    • Context: “shots of people using the product on laptops/phones”, “UI overlays”, “city office environments”, “lab setting”, etc.

  4. Generate your first video
    Use the template as a starting point, adjust the text prompt with your script and desired style, and generate a first pass.

  5. Iterate with variations

    • Change hooks, angles, and CTAs for different audiences
    • Try alternate visual directions (realistic, animated, illustrative)
    • Create platform-specific cuts by adjusting pacing and framing in your script

For more specialized variants later, you can also:

Combining This Template With Other Magic Hour Tools

You can build more complex pipelines on top of this base Text-to-Video template:

Tips for Strong Text-to-Video Results

For practical, high-performing videos:

  • Be concrete in your prompt

    • Instead of “make a cool startup ad”, try:
      “30-second vertical ad showing a remote SaaS team in modern offices, close-ups of dashboards and charts, bold text overlays, minimal tech aesthetic, bright natural lighting.”

  • Align visuals with funnel stage

    • Top-of-funnel: broader, more emotional story, big problem framing
    • Mid-funnel: more product screens, use cases, scenarios
    • Bottom-of-funnel: clear offer, pricing or guarantee, direct CTA

  • Front-load your hook

    • Open with a strong visual and clear text: “You’re wasting 10+ hours a week editing content manually.”
    • Keep the first 3 seconds visually decisive and emotionally relevant

  • Plan for silent autoplay

    • Add on-screen text and structure shots so the core message is understandable without sound
    • Use Auto Subtitle Generator for accessibility and engagement

Use this Text-to-Video template when:

  2. Use this template as a conceptual reference: clear hook, concise script, and a specific visual style.
  3. Paste or write your script, describe the visual direction, and generate.
