Creating Educational Videos with AI

Vids feels like Slides with a timeline. You give it a topic or paste your script, it builds scenes with stock visuals, and you can narrate yourself or use a built-in AI voice. Easiest starting point if your school already uses Google.

1. 1

   Open Vids and choose 'Help me create'

   Paste your script or a Docs link, and state the audience and length.
2. 2

   Review the generated scene list

   Delete scenes you do not need. One idea per scene.
3. 3

   Replace weak stock visuals

   Swap in your own diagram, screenshot or photo from Drive.
4. 4

   Record or generate narration

   Read the script yourself for warmth, or pick an AI voice for speed.
5. 5

   Turn on captions and export

   Share the link or download the MP4 for your LMS.

Flow generates video from a text description of a scene. Use it for the 5–10 second visuals that make a concept land — blood moving through a vessel, a volcano forming, a historical street scene — then drop those clips into your main video.

Prompt shape: subject + action + setting + camera + style. “A slow close-up of water droplets condensing on a cold glass, warm morning light, documentary style, no text.”

• Keep clips short and use them as illustration, not narration.
• Never use generated video as evidence of a real event — say on screen that it is an illustration.
• Generate two or three variations; credits are limited so keep prompts specific.

HeyGen puts a realistic presenter on screen reading your script. Ideal when you want a face and voice without recording yourself, or when you need the same lesson in English and Bahasa Malaysia.

1. 1

   Pick a stock avatar and voice

   Match the register to your learners; test one paragraph before generating the whole video.
2. 2

   Paste the script only

   Remove your [VISUAL] notes — the avatar would read them aloud.
3. 3

   Add pauses and emphasis

   Short sentences and commas control pacing better than long clauses.
4. 4

   Translate for a second version

   Use its translate feature to produce a Bahasa Malaysia edition of the same video.
5. 5

   Export and check pronunciation

   Fix subject terms and names by respelling them phonetically in the script.

Disclose it. Add a line in the description: this presenter is an AI avatar; the content was written and checked by me.

InVideo takes a topic or full script and assembles a finished video: stock footage, voice-over, background music and captions. Then you edit by instruction — “make scene 3 shorter, change the voice, add subtitles in Malay” — instead of dragging clips on a timeline.

1. 1

   Give it your script plus the audience

   Specify length, tone, and 'educational explainer for [level] students'.
2. 2

   Let it build the first cut

   Expect roughly 70% usable. Do not fix details yet.
3. 3

   Edit by instruction

   Ask it to trim, swap footage, change voice, or rewrite one scene.
4. 4

   Generate captions

   Auto-subtitles, then read them once — subject terms are often misheard.
5. 5

   Export

   Free exports carry a watermark; that is usually fine for classroom use.
