The Importance of a 2-Step Structure
Asking the AI to create a summary (bullet points) before generating the video is critical. This ensures the AI 'understands' the core content of the document before attempting to translate it into a visual format, resulting in a more relevant output.
Audience Context & Duration
Always specify your audience and the video's time limit. If you don't set a duration, the AI might generate a video that is either too long or too brief to suit your presentation needs.

Target:
ChatGPT
I want you to create a summary video that is a visual presentation of a tutorial PDF that I attached.
First, summarize it into 10 bullet points.
Second, create a short video based on the summary.
Keep the intro extremely short, refer to the fact that Midjourney is a paid application.
Audience: non technical team members who never used AI art.
Length: 1 to 2 minutes.
Step by Step
How to Generate a Summary Video from a PDF
- Upload the PDF tutorial file you want to summarize to ChatGPT.
- Type a prompt starting with results-oriented instructions to inform the AI of your final goal.
- Split your instructions into two main steps: First, ask the AI to summarize the PDF content into 10 bullet points.
- Second, direct the AI to generate a short video based on those summary bullet points.
- Include additional instructions such as setting the intro length or mentioning specific facts (e.g., 'Midjourney is a paid application').
- Define your target audience profile (e.g., 'non-technical team members') and your desired video duration (e.g., 1 to 2 minutes).
- Press 'Enter' and wait for the generation process to complete (usually takes around 2 minutes).
- Click the video link provided by ChatGPT to view the final result.
