From this input to this video

A script based on NIST’s published guidance becomes a whiteboard training video with captions.

Prompt

Create a 45-second animated cybersecurity training video that teaches recognizing and reporting phishing using NIST’s small-business guidance at https://www.nist.gov/itl/smallbusinesscyber/guidance-topic/phishing to small-business employees. Use my script verbatim for the voiceover — do not rewrite it: An urgent message can make a risky click feel necessary. Phishing impersonates a trusted sender to steal information or deliver harmful software. Pause when a message asks for a password, a payment, a download or immediate action. Check the sender, and verify the request through a contact method you already trust. Do not use the message’s own link or phone number to verify it. Report suspicious messages using your organization’s process. If you already clicked, tell your security contact promptly. Pause, verify and report. Read NIST’s phishing guidance and learn your team’s reporting process. Explain the idea with the warning signs and verification steps in the NIST guidance and reinforce each key term with clear on-screen labels. Visual style: whiteboard. Tone: calm and practical. Open with a short real-world hook, walk through the concept step by step, then close on a one-line recap and this call to action: Read NIST’s phishing guidance and learn your team’s reporting process. Add captions for muted playback.

Create a lesson from your approved script

The example uses a script based on public NIST guidance. Replace its subject and wording with the lesson your team needs, then choose how it should look.

  1. Prepare the lesson

    Use an approved script, a public lesson source or an uploaded PDF/PowerPoint. Export authorized footage from Animaker as source material when helpful; keep its editable original there.

  2. Set the direction

    Fill in the audience, topic, script and call to action below. Select a style, then attach your materials and choose your Brand Kit in ngram.

  3. Review and deliver

    Approve the plan containing the script. After generation, review the result, request changes and share it. On a paid plan, download the MP4 for your learning platform.
