GenAI for Content Creation teaches creators and business professionals how to build AI-generated video content using a modern multi-tool production workflow. Designed for practitioners already using AI tools like Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and image or video generation platforms, the course moves beyond basic prompting into structured content production.

Learners use Claude to create scripts, storyboards, and scene-by-scene prompt documents; Nano Banana Pro to generate consistent characters, cinematic reference scenes, and key frames; and Veo 3.1 or Seedance 2.0 to animate those assets into short-form video content. The course also covers voice generation with ElevenLabs V3, prompt engineering frameworks, visual continuity, temporal coherence, AI disclosure requirements, and C2PA Content Credentials. Through guided demonstrations and a production-focused capstone project, learners build a reusable AI content creation workflow that supports scalable video production for marketing, storytelling, social media, and digital content teams.

This module introduces the major shift from isolated prompts to structured AI production pipelines. Learners explore the Universal Prompt Structure and understand how prompt documents coordinate multiple AI tools in a single workflow.
