Skills worth learning

  • Write clear prompts

    Describe subject, setting, light and camera move. Our prompt examples are a good start.

  • Keep a style

    Use the same colours, fonts and look for each client so their posts feel consistent.

  • Edit simply

    Trim clips, add text and music in any free editor such as CapCut or Canva.

  • Build a small portfolio

    Make 5–6 sample pieces before you approach anyone.

Play fair

  • Label AI-made content where platforms ask (Instagram, YouTube and Facebook have AI labels).
  • Only use logos, faces and photos you have permission to use.
  • Never show a product doing something it can’t do, or a property feature that isn’t there.
  • Don’t copy famous characters, songs or other brands.
