The “Show” mode: a daily news bulletin

The “Show” mode is for projects with a similar bulletin every day featuring the same hosts: news, a digest, a weather forecast. Turn it on with the “Show mode” checkbox in the project settings; until it is ticked, the whole block stays collapsed and out of the way. Hosts. Set up to 3 hosts: a name (shown as an on-screen caption while they speak), a short title, an appearance description (for image generation) and an ElevenLabs voice. First, on the “Hosts and pictures” tab, create a base picture for each and approve it, then generate 7–10 angles (“8 angles for …”) — wide and medium shots; the system deliberately avoids close-ups so imprecise lip movement is not noticeable. A favourite angle can be marked with the “Starting” star — every episode opens with it. Animate the angles (“Animate” button): if a host has animated clips, only those are used in the show, still photos are skipped. The order of hosts is hard-coded, not left to the AI: the first host delivers the greeting, the day's topics, the news and the sponsor mention, the second — only the weather block and the sponsor recap/sign-off that follows it. The same host's frames never repeat back to back. Weather. The “Weather” field accepts three formats: a single country (e.g. Norway) — the AI picks several major cities itself, the count is set by the “How many cities” field (1–6); a comma-separated list (Oslo, Bergen, Trondheim) — exactly these cities are used; a single city — as before. Each city gets one short sentence so the block does not bloat the show. Length and number of news items. “Max seconds” (30–178) is a hard ceiling for YouTube Shorts/TikTok: if the script comes out longer, the last news items are dropped first, then the voiceover is sped up slightly. “Number of news items” (1–6) sets how many topics the agent includes. Script sample. The optional “Script sample for the AI” field — paste your own example of how the hosts should sound (greeting, transitions, jokes). The AI copies the delivery style, not the facts, names or dates from the sample. Sponsors. A separate “Show sponsors” card (the “Mention sponsors” checkbox enables it): name, tagline, description or a website link (the AI reads it itself), a photo or video. With media the sponsor appears as an on-screen insert for a few seconds; without media it is a text banner with the tagline. At most two enabled sponsors make it into a show. Trial run and autopilot. The “Create a show now (trial)” button on the “Sponsors and show” tab assembles one episode right away — handy for checking the settings before turning autopilot on. Autopilot for a “Show” works the same way as for regular projects (schedule in the autopilot settings), it just assembles a fresh news bulletin every time instead of a regular topic-based video.
