**[PROMPT START]**
**[Prompt Title]:** Dynamic Veo Prompt: Beginner Excel Tutorial Series
**[Overall Vision & Goal]:**
Generate a short, high-quality educational video (approximately 60-90 seconds) for an online course or YouTube channel. The video should teach an absolute beginner a single, fundamental concept in Microsoft Excel. The tone must be encouraging, clear, and professional. The final output should feel like a polished segment from a modern, high-budget online course, building viewer confidence and making a complex topic feel simple and accessible.
**[Core Subject & Dynamic Variables]:**
This prompt is a template. The core lesson will be defined by the following dynamic variables. For each new video, only these variables need to be changed to generate a new, unique tutorial.
* **`{{Topic}}`**: The main title of the video. Example: “How to Use the SUM Function in Excel”
* **`{{FunctionName}}`**: The specific Excel function or feature being taught. Example: “SUM”
* **`{{DataSet}}`**: A brief description of the sample data on the spreadsheet. Example: “A simple monthly budget with columns for ‘Item’, ‘Category’, and ‘Cost’.”
* **`{{CellRange}}`**: The specific range of cells the function will act upon. Example: “C2:C10”
* **`{{TargetCell}}`**: The cell where the formula will be entered. Example: “C11”
* **`{{Formula}}`**: The exact formula to be typed. Example: `=SUM(C2:C10)`
* **`{{Explanation}}`**: A concise, animated text overlay explaining the function’s purpose. Example: “The SUM function adds all the numbers in a range of cells.”
**[Visual Style & Aesthetics]:**
* **Style:** Clean, minimalist, modern tech tutorial. High-resolution (4K).
* **Interface:** A pristine, up-to-date version of Microsoft Excel (Office 365). The screen is clean, with no distracting desktop icons or unnecessary toolbars.
* **Color Palette:** Primarily white, grey, and Excel green. Use a bright, contrasting accent color (like a vibrant blue or orange) for cursor highlights, arrows, and animated annotations.
* **Lighting:** Bright, even, soft virtual lighting. No harsh shadows on the interface.
* **On-screen Elements:** Use sleek, modern animated graphics. Text overlays should use a sans-serif font like Inter or Poppins. Arrows and circles that appear to highlight elements should be smooth and have subtle bounce animations.
**[Scene Breakdown & Shot List (Sequential)]:**
**Scene 1: The Hook (0-5 seconds)**
* **Shot:** An engaging, animated title card. The text `{{Topic}}` animates onto the screen against a clean, abstract background incorporating the Excel green color.
* **Visuals:** Gentle, flowing geometric shapes in the background.
**Scene 2: The Context (5-15 seconds)**
* **Shot:** A wide shot of the entire Excel spreadsheet, showing the `{{DataSet}}`. The camera performs a slow, smooth dolly-in, focusing on the column of numbers to be calculated.
* **Visuals:** An animated question mark or a text box appears near the `{{TargetCell}}`, posing the problem visually (e.g., “Total Cost?”).
**Scene 3: The Action (15-40 seconds)**
* **Shot Type:** High-quality, direct screen recording style.
* **Action 1:** The mouse cursor, highlighted with a vibrant blue or yellow circular pulse, smoothly moves and clicks on the `{{TargetCell}}`.
* **Action 2:** The user’s virtual hands type the `{{Formula}}`. Show an extreme close-up on the formula bar as the text appears, making it highly legible.
* **Action 3:** As the formula is typed, animated annotations appear, breaking it down. An arrow points to `=SUM` with the text `{{FunctionName}}`. Another animated bracket highlights `{{CellRange}}`.
* **Action 4:** The user presses “Enter”. The result instantly populates the `{{TargetCell}}`. This moment should be emphasized with a subtle, satisfying visual effect, like a brief, bright flash or a ripple effect emanating from the cell.
**Scene 4: The Reinforcement (40-55 seconds)**
* **Shot:** A split-screen or picture-in-picture effect. On one side, we see the final, calculated number in the `{{TargetCell}}`. On the other side, the concise text `{{Explanation}}` animates in a clean, easy-to-read text box.
* **Visuals:** An animated checkmark appears next to the result, confirming success.
**Scene 5: The Outro (55-60 seconds)**
* **Shot:** The camera zooms out slowly to show the completed spreadsheet. A final, clean logo or end-screen appears with a call to action like “Subscribe for More Excel Tips!”
**[Audio & Sound Design Cues]:**
* **Music:** Uplifting, gentle, and unobtrusive royalty-free instrumental music (corporate/educational genre).
* **Sound Effects (SFX):**
* Subtle, satisfying keyboard clicks when the formula is typed.
* A soft “swoosh” for on-screen animations and text.
* A clear, positive “ding” or “chime” when the correct result appears after pressing Enter.
**[Technical Directives for Veo]:**
* **Pacing:** Deliberate and steady. The video’s pace must be slow enough for a complete beginner to follow each step without feeling rushed.
* **Transitions:** Use smooth, professional transitions like cross-fades or elegant wipes between scenes. Avoid jarring jump cuts.
* **Focus:** Maintain a sharp focus on the Excel interface. The most important element is the legibility of cell contents, formulas, and menus.
* **Consistency:** Ensure the visual style, color palette, and animation quality are consistent from start to finish.
