Creating Content with Chat GPT

  1. Prompt Design:

    • Create a table of 100 interesting psychology facts, divided into parts.
    • Topics include personality disorders, narcissism, brain function, etc.
    • Each part should engage and reveal interesting facts.
  2. Data Collection:

    • Use Google Sheets to track and organize data.
    • Copy the Chat GPT output to Sheets for easy management.

Video Creation Using Canva

  1. Template Setup:

    • Use 'Mobile Video' in Canva for portrait-sized videos.
    • Adjust video length to 10 seconds.
    • Add dynamic background videos by setting and adjusting landscape videos as background.
  2. Text Overlay:

    • Add headings for 'Topic', 'Part One', and 'Part Two'.
    • Customize text fonts, colors, and effects.
    • Adjust timing for sequential text appearance: part one followed by part two.
  3. Bulk Create Feature:

    • Use the 'Bulk Create' app in Canva.
    • Import data from Google Sheets into Canva's Bulk Create tool.
    • Connect data to text elements and generate videos.

Exporting Videos
