How to edit the generated video

You can make modifications to the video by simply asking Sparky. In this example, I've asked Sparky to make my video on the American Revolution focus more on key events in a timeline format.

What are best practices for video generation?

Tell Sparky how to teach

Be specific about the audience, including things like grade level, background knowledge, and learning objectives. You can also provide context such as:

  • Pasting notes or curriculum text

  • Attaching documents, like a syllabus or slides

  • Including links to readings or resources

Additionally, you can ask Spaky to include examples, analogies, or step-by-step explanations in the video.

Be clear that you want a generated video

When you want Sparky to make a video, make sure to use language like:

  • "Create a video on..."

  • "Generate a video about..."

  • "Make a video that explains..."

The clearer you are about what format you want, the more helpful Sparky will be!
