Questions
Do I need video experience?
No. If you can write a brief, you can direct this. Lesson 6 walks through the tool step by step.
Which AI video tool do you use?
The current best one, shown in the tool lab. That lesson is replaced when tools change; the directing method stays the same.
What if it isn't for me?
