Event recaps

Make a short recap video from your own event photos and clips, with a voiceover, captions and an end card.

An Event Recap is the one video type made from your own media instead of animated app screens. You upload photos and clips from an event, Claude matches them to the script, and DemoVexa adds the voiceover, captions, a photo wall and an end card. By default it's 15 seconds, for LinkedIn.

#The steps

StepWhat you do
1 BriefDescribe the event and what viewers should take away
2 ScriptEdit the voiceover lines and captions
3 MediaUpload your photos and clips
4 StoryboardLet Claude match the footage to each line, then adjust
5 VoiceGenerate the voiceover
6 ExportPreview and render the video
7 PublishWrite the posts and make the covers

The Brief, Script, Voice, Export and Publish steps work the same way as for the other video types. See Write the brief, Write the script, Generate the voiceover, Export and render and Posts, blog and covers.

#Create an Event Recap

  1. Click New project.
  2. Choose Event Recap.
  3. Enter a Project name and, optionally, a line about the event.
  4. Click Create and write the brief.

#Write the script

In an Event Recap script, each line has a role that decides how its footage is shown:

RoleWhat plays
IntroThe opening line, over the title card
MontageA quick sequence of your shots
Photo wallA grid of your photos
OutroThe closing line, over the hero shot and then the end card

When the script is ready, click Approve script, add media.

#Upload your media

The Media step is titled Upload the footage.

  1. Upload photos, screenshots or short clips. iPhone HEIC photos are fine.
  2. Click any item to preview it.

#The shot list

Next to your uploads, the Shot list shows what the script needs, from Claude. Claude suggests these shots when it writes the script.

  1. Capture or find each shot on the list.
  2. Upload it.
  3. Tick it off the list.

If you add or change footage, click Re-match media with Claude so Claude matches the new media to the lines again.

#Continuing without media

You can continue without uploading anything, for example to hear the voiceover or share a draft before the event photos arrive. Click Continue without media. Without media, the lines play as step cards. Add your footage later and build the storyboard to swap them for your shots.

Note

In a batch, Event Recaps stop after the voiceover, because they need your photos. Open the project to add media and finish it. See Batch builds.

#Build the storyboard

The Storyboard step matches your footage to each line of the script.

  1. Click Build the storyboard. Claude looks at every photo and clip, picks the opener, builds the montage and chooses the hero shot.
  2. Review the storyboard. For each line, the Shots picker shows which shots play while it's spoken.
  3. To change a line's shots, click Shots and pick them in the order you want them to play. Three or more make a quick burst.

The preview updates as you go.

#Photo wall and hero

Under Photo wall & hero:

  • Hero shot is your strongest photo. It grows out of the photo wall and fills the frame under the outro line, before the end card.
  • Photo wall is the set of photos in the grid. Leave it empty to use every photo except the hero.

Tip

Choose a hero shot that works when cropped to every format you'll render. A wide crowd shot can lose its edges in a 9:16 reel.

#Voice, export and publish

When the storyboard looks right, go on to the Voice step and generate the voiceover. Then render the formats you need in Export, and write the posts and covers in Publish.
