Write and verify a short news video script.

A short news video works best when the script makes one claim, names the key parties, and explains why the development matters. This production uses a 96-word script so the story can move quickly without reducing it to a headline.

“Six Nordic football associations (Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Iceland and the Faroe Islands) say they have lost confidence in his leadership.”

The script is the foundation of the story. Plamia uses it to plan scene boundaries, caption emphasis, voice timing, and the sequence in which the supporting visuals appear.

Add source images for the people and events.

The archived project used 13 reference images. In the current app, you can attach up to 12 photo references with the plus button. Select only the files needed to establish the people, places and objects in the script. Generated versions may be restyled; they are not documentary evidence or guaranteed unchanged copies.

Editorial responsibility stays with the publisher.

Check the origin, licensing, identity, and factual relevance of every uploaded file before publication. The rail above documents the source media used for this production; it is not an independent verification of each file.

Use the repeatable checklist in how to choose source material for a news video before importing a new set of source files.

Choose a restrained template for the story.

Start a new project in Animation, paste the verified script and choose a template. Archive Journal can suit a document-led treatment; Redline can emphasize a short headline. Preview the treatment and check whether it makes the story clearer without sensationalizing it.

Keep source material distinct from generated illustrations. If an exact photograph, quotation or diagram is essential, place the verified asset in the editor rather than relying on a generated reconstruction.

The warm graphite treatment in the archived video is an example of visual consistency, not a separate style or background setup you must reproduce.

Use clear narration and check names.

Open the gear to choose Voice, Voice delivery, Pace and Captions. Listen for the pronunciation of people, organizations and place names. Use a measured delivery that leaves time for viewers to understand the claim.

After clicking Create video, compare the narration and captions against the approved script. Correct caption text and timing in the editor. Changing caption spelling does not repair an incorrectly spoken name.

If you already recorded the report, Video mode adds animated B-roll while keeping your speech. Review any generated illustration of a real event carefully. The current controls are described in Plamia Help.

Check facts, illustrations and the final edit.

The archived production created 23 images from its references and script. That is a record of this example, not a promised image count or a current credit quote.

  • Check each factual claim against a dated original source.
  • Replace images that imply an event or scene actually happened when they are only illustrative.
  • Check names, numbers, captions and source attribution at phone size.
  • Use Arrange to fix overlapping layers, then review transitions and sound.

Export requires Creator or Pro. New generations use the quote shown in the app; see the credit guide for current examples.

The archived example’s 96-word script.

Pressure is building on FIFA president Gianni Infantino. Six Nordic football associations (Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Iceland and the Faroe Islands) say they have lost confidence in his leadership. The dispute follows a proposal to sell future World Cup profits to private investors. UEFA, AFC and CONCACAF have also called for an independent investigation and guarantees that football competitions will not be opened to private ownership. This is no longer a regional protest. With major confederations aligned, FIFA now faces a serious governance crisis, and Infantino faces growing pressure to explain what happened.
