What to Expect
✓ WHAT AI CAN DO TODAY
●Understand full scripts without summarizing them
●Break scripts into logical scenes automatically
●Generate visuals that match the narration
●Add captions, music, and transitions automatically
●Produce vertical videos ready for Shorts, Reels, and TikTok
✕ WHERE IT STILL FALLS SHORT
●Visuals can sometimes feel generic
●Emotional pacing often needs manual adjustment
●Some scene–visual matches are imperfect
●Branding elements usually require manual edits
●Story-driven videos may need scene refinements
