From this input to this video

Nia asks practical questions and Tevita explains three takeaways from the public GitHub Blog guide. The repository, workflow and log graphics are illustrations, not captured GitHub screens; this is an independent fictional-host summary.

Prompt

Create a 30-second landscape 16:9 scripted video podcast with two fictional AI hosts visible on screen, each with a distinct voice. Use this public article as the factual source: https://github.blog/enterprise-software/ci-cd/build-ci-cd-pipeline-github-actions-four-steps/. Audience: developers setting up their first CI/CD workflow. One host asks practical questions and the other explains these three source-backed takeaways: a CI pipeline builds and tests code changes; the repository's Actions tab offers workflow templates; the workflow visualizer and live logs help identify failed jobs. Use at most 65 spoken words and a natural back-and-forth. Paraphrase the source without invented quotations, guests, benchmarks, or guarantees. End by inviting viewers to read the full GitHub guide. Show me the plan and dialogue for review before production.

Nia: First CI/CD workflow. Where do I start? Tevita: When code changes, a CI pipeline builds it and runs your tests. Nia: Do I write that from scratch? Tevita: You can, but your repository's Actions tab offers workflow templates. Nia: And when a job fails? Tevita: The workflow visualizer shows which job failed, and live logs help you find out why. Nia: Want the details? Read GitHub's full guide.

Questions about the two-host podcast template

What does this two host video podcast template make?

It makes a new scripted video in which two fictional AI hosts discuss takeaways from a public article. Both hosts appear on screen and use distinct voices. The article supplies factual material for the discussion.

How do I keep the discussion accurate to the article?

Choose three points you can locate in the source, then review every proposed answer before approving the plan. Check qualifications, dates and terminology as well as the headline takeaway. Request a revision if a host adds a claim the source does not support.

Can I use this to recreate a real guest interview?

This recipe uses fictional hosts to explain published material. For an actual interview or episode, use your authorized recording or transcript as source material and preserve the speaker’s meaning. Do not present generated remarks as words a real guest said.

Which settings should I use for two on-screen hosts?

Select Conversation under Start from a style, set the model to Opus 5.5, and keep Presenter and Voice on Auto. Describe the roles and discussion in Video brief. Review the selected cast, voices and dialogue in the plan before production.

Can I use an unpublished draft instead of a public URL?

This reusable prompt expects a public article URL. For a private draft, paste the text you are allowed to use into Studio and describe the same host roles and supported takeaways in a new brief. Review the new plan before production.

Does this create an audio podcast feed?

This template creates a scripted video. Choose your distribution destination separately and use your own podcast-hosting workflow if you also need an audio feed.

Why does the sample run for 31 seconds with a 30-second setting?

The brief requested 30 seconds; the finished discussion runs for about 31 seconds. The duration setting guides the plan, so check the actual pacing and rendered runtime before sharing your version.
