In this 2-hour guided project, you will step into the exciting world of AI-powered video creation. We will explore how to use Google's groundbreaking model, Veo 3, to turn simple text prompts into stunning, high-quality video clips. You will learn the essential art of prompt engineering — how to write descriptive and effective prompts that give you creative control over your video's style, subject, and camera movements. Through hands-on demonstrations, you will follow along as the instructor generates video examples, then create your own AI-generated videos using Gemini and Veo 3. By the end, you will have mastered viral video styles, crafted professional prompts, and created an authentic vertical selfie vlog complete with your own reusable template. No prior experience in video creation or AI is required.
