# Morning Announcements Video Maker

The school’s morning announcements as a short video for every classroom screen — the day, the lunch menu, what is on after school — narrated and captioned before first bell.

Canonical page: https://www.veedio.co/tools/morning-announcements-video-maker
Search intent: A US elementary or middle school — a principal, an office manager, a media specialist — that runs morning announcements with no studio, no student crew or no time to film them every day.

## What it produces

- 5 to 8 scenes, each with one spoken line and one generated frame
- A minute by default; 30, 60, 90 or 180 seconds are selectable in the composer (paid plans to 180s). Scene length comes from the narration's true duration
- ElevenLabs voiceover: 5 voices, narrating in any of 29 languages
- Word-timed captions burned in from the voice model's own character alignment
- A licensed music bed, ducked under the narration, loudness-normalised master
- 9:16, 1:1 or 16:9, 1080-class, no watermark on any plan

## Preset applied on this page

- Source type: prompt
- Voice: josh
- Captions: bold-center
- Music: uplifting
- Visual style: 3d
- Aspect ratio: 16:9

## The brief this page adds, verbatim

This string is prepended to whatever the visitor types before the scriptwriter
sees it — in the free preview on this page, in the video you generate after
clicking through to the composer, and in the API when you send
`preset: "morning-announcements-video-maker"`. It is the only difference between this page and
the others.

> Write a school’s morning announcements as a short video played in every classroom. Open with a cheerful good morning and the day and date as the user gives them, read each announcement clearly in the order given, and close with a short positive thought for the day. Use only the dates, times, places, menu items and events the user types; never invent an event, a time or a name, and never name a student unless the user typed the name. Friendly and quick, for students from kindergarten to eighth grade.

## Example inputs from the page

- Tuesday, October 14: picture day retakes in the library, lunch is chicken tacos, chess club after school in Room 12
- Friday: wear school colors for the pep rally at 2pm, the book fair opens Monday, and have a safe weekend
- Monday: welcome back from fall break, the canned food drive starts today, and our word of the week is perseverance

## Getting started

Pick a plan at /pricing and start creating today. The widget on the page runs the
real scriptwriter with this preset and returns the script, the per-scene image
prompts and the estimated runtime. Rendering the visuals, voiceover and final
file spends credits.

## How it works

1. **Type today’s announcements** — The date, the menu, the events and the times, the way the office already writes them.
2. **Check every detail** — The script comes back for review before anything renders, so a wrong time never reaches a classroom.
3. **Play it in every room** — One captioned landscape file that every classroom plays at the same time.

## Morning announcements without a studio

Some schools have a student broadcast team, a green screen and a media teacher who runs it. Most have the front office, a PA system and a list of things everyone needs to hear by 8:15. A video version reaches classrooms better — students see what they are hearing, and captions help the student who missed a word — but it usually needs a studio and a crew to make every day.

This makes the video version from the list itself. Type the day’s announcements and it reads them clearly, in order, over a bright illustrated scene for each one — the cafeteria for lunch, the library for picture day, the gym for the pep rally — and closes on a short positive thought. One file, played in every room at the same time.

## Exactly what the office typed

Announcements are only useful if they are right. The brief tells the scriptwriter to read only the dates, times, places, menu items and events you type, in the order you give them, and never to invent an event, a time or a name. If chess club meets in Room 12, it says Room 12; if you leave a time out, it does not guess one.

It never names a student unless you type the name, and you should check your district’s policy before you do — birthdays and shout-outs are lovely, and they are also student information. Every script comes back for review before anything renders, so the office reads it before the whole school hears it.

## If you already have a student broadcast team

Keep it. Students reading the announcements on camera is a learning experience no tool should replace, and this is not trying to. It is for the days the crew is on a field trip, the weeks before a new team is trained, and the schools that never had the staff to start one.

It also makes the segments a student show can play between its live parts: the word of the week, a reminder about the book fair, a short explainer about the canned food drive. Every paid plan makes videos of 30 seconds, one minute, 90 seconds or three minutes; a longer video has more scenes and costs more credits, and you see the price before you generate.

## Who it is for

- **Principals and assistant principals** — The day’s announcements in front of every class, without a studio or a crew.
- **Front office staff** — Paste the list you already write each morning and get the video version back.
- **Library media specialists** — Segments and fill-ins for the student broadcast, ready on the days the crew is not.
- **Middle schools** — Announcements students actually look up for, in a voice that is not the PA.

## Compared with making it the usual way

| | The usual way | With Veedio |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Input | A list read over the PA, half of it lost to hallway noise. | The same list, typed once and read clearly in order. |
| Visuals | Nothing, or a student crew and a studio every morning. | An illustrated scene per announcement, in one bright look. |
| Voiceover | Book a VO artist, or record yourself and cut the breaths out. | Five ElevenLabs voices, re-recorded free whenever the line changes. |
| Captions | None, so a student who missed a word missed the announcement. | Captions timed to the voice, on every classroom screen. |
| Turnaround | A crew in at 7:30, every school day. | Minutes from the front office, before first bell. |
| Changing it | Re-record the line, re-cut the timeline, re-export, re-upload. | Edit the line and only its voice is re-recorded, free. A new still is free too; a new motion clip is free once per video. |

## FAQ

### Will it get our times and places right?

It reads what you type, in the order you type it, and is told never to invent an event, a time or a name. Every script comes back before anything renders, so the office can check each detail first.

### Can it name students for birthdays or awards?

Only if you type the name, and check your district’s policy on student information first. The brief never adds a student’s name on its own.

### We already have a student broadcast team. Is this for us?

For the days the team is out, yes, and for short segments the show can play between its live parts. Students reading the news on camera is worth keeping.

### Can it play in every classroom at once?

It makes one 1080p video file. However your school shows announcements now — a shared screen, the district’s video system, each teacher pressing play — it plays there. It does not broadcast anything itself.

### What does a school year of announcements cost?

Plans are monthly: Mini $7 (200 credits), Starter $19 (600 credits), Pro $49 (2,000 credits), Studio $149 (7,500 credits). A five-scene short in pictures costs 13 credits; with AI motion in every scene it costs 68. You see the price before you generate, and the first payment on any plan has a 7-day money-back guarantee. Starter ($19 a month, 600 credits) covers about 46 five-scene shorts in pictures, or about 8 with AI motion in every scene.

### Can it make them automatically every morning?

Not the announcements themselves: Auto-Mode writes from a topic or an RSS feed, and it cannot know today’s lunch menu. A word or a thought of the day can be scheduled. On Pro ($49 a month) and Studio ($149), Auto-Mode can make one on a schedule — every day, every 2 days, every 3 days, every week — on this page’s brief, and keep each video in your library instead of posting it, so the next one is waiting for review.

### Can it be in Spanish as well?

Yes. The narration and captions can be in any of 29 languages, Spanish included, chosen in the composer.

### Do I have to sign up to try this?

Yes, a free one. Signup takes a moment and needs no card. Once you are signed in, the box at the top writes the script and the shot list for no credits — that is the part that decides whether the video is worth making.

### What does it cost?

Starter is $19 a month for 600 credits, Pro $49, Studio $149. A credit is a unit of pipeline cost rather than a video, so a five-scene short costs less than a nine-scene one, and you see the estimate before you spend anything.

### Do I own the videos, and is there a watermark?

You own them, on every plan, and there is no watermark on any plan, no resolution cap and no platform withheld. Four things do follow the plan, because they are what a video costs to make: AI motion and sound effects need Starter, and a presenter avatar and the choice of video model need Pro. Everything else — every voice, every language, every caption style, every aspect ratio — is the same on all of them.
