go and start a new book to start we just need to  enter a brief story description now I could choose   one of these and if I didn't like one of them I  could click change and choose a different one but   I'm going to add my own in and so this will be  about a little boy named Timmy plants some tiny   seeds given to him by his grandma cares for it  and it really the gist of it helps uh other   kids learn to be kind now I can go ahead and pick  an age group here i'm going to leave it at 6 to 8   i'm going to make this a fable and let's say this  is let's stick with heartwarming do I want the   animals in here to have human characteristics or  not or do I just want them to be animals you know   what if there are animals going to be in here I'm  going to say give them human characteristics and   this is the ratio i'm just going to keep it at 16  to9 let's go ahead and generate this now it went   through and wrote a story for me so you can see as  I go through it could go up to 10,000 characters   i'm only halfway there but that's good enough so  I'm going to extract the roles from this so it   goes and looks for the different characters  in them and then you'll see them get pulled   out so these are the different roles we have  Timmy's a human grandmother human uh Mrs jenkins   human and Mr thompson i'm going to hit confirm  over here you can see these are the different   uh different roles as I click on each of these I  uh I can see what they each of them are through   here so you can see this is a supporting character  group performance if you like everything I'm going   to go ahead and click confirm roll we have a  title over here that I can change if I would like   so once we confirm this you uh all the basic  information of the rules once confirmed it   cannot be modified this is where we pick the style  of the story book in my first one this is what I

used the forest adventure if I go down you can see  all the different ones that they have you know for   this one I'm going to pick this one right here and  I'm going to click next now I need to generate an

image for each of these characters and if I  go ahead and click on the edit here you can   see the description that's in here so if there's  something missing or whether it be the clothing or   some of the facial features or hairstyles I could  go ahead and enter more into here but if you like   what you see there if Timmy is selected I can go  ahead and click generate now we need to decide   which character we want to work with here so I  like this one and this is going to be U4 so if I   count one two three four I'm going to click that  and this becomes my image that I will work with   with Timmy then I need to go through each of these  other characters so if I want to edit anything   do the same thing in this case I'm going to keep  going through and generating and then we'll move   on to the next one i have my four characters and  I can click next at this point it took the story

and made storyboards so each of these represent  a page we have the front cover and then it shows   the original story and how it broke it down into  the different pages any of these pages though you   can type more onto it so if I just type hello you  can see how it's added onto here and if you don't   want something you can go ahead and hit delete or  you can even hover over the bottom if you wanted   to create another uh another page so in this as I  scroll through I'm going to go through and clean   this up a bit just so we have a shorter book  and then I'm going to click next now it's time   to start generating images for each page if I take  a look up top you can see who the person's going

to be in that scene here's the title page if I  click edit this is going to be the prompt that   describes what's going to be created and you can  go through and edit this by adding more to it or   making any changes here I'm just going to cancel  and I'm going to click generate now when we're   doing this we can do for my account I can do two  different ones at a time just to go through things   a little bit faster just like before I need to  make my choice so I'm going to pick U3 here for   this one and on this one I'm going to go ahead and  just pick the first one U1 i can keep generating   at this point as well now I have my first three  done if I want to take a look at the preview I can   go ahead and click up here and I can start paging  through now notice nobody's reading this is   something else we have to add and I'll show you  how to do that in a moment i can do this in a   couple different ways moving further ahead I can  go ahead and slide to the next one generate this   way or I if I click next you'll see how it changed  the view i could still do this one at a time here

i can generate and based on all this I can go  through and click here and work through this way   as well what I want to show you with these if I go  to this one right here the text here I can move it   wherever I need to place it i can make changes  to the font here i can make changes to the font   color it makes it very easy to do any of those  editing now over on the side is where I'm going   to add the audio and I can do it when I'm all done  or start doing it now so if I click on   the audio I only have the first three that I've  done so far so I'm going to click on just these   first two because again I can only do two at a  time and I'm going to go generate the voice for them now for these first two I did have Olivia  talking here if you wanted to change before you   start if I click on this you can get an idea if I  click on Olivia welcome to Read Kids you can   hear the voice so you can check out any of these  here before you go ahead and do any creating but   now I'm just going to exit out of here and if  I hit back here notice it does go back to this   scene here so I can h go and continue or I could  hit next again at any time i can present in each   of these so now kindness tree you have the reader  here to this in a cozy house at the edge of Maple   Valley live Timmy i'm just closing out of it  the other thing you can do maybe you want to

add some background music you can go through  and test these out here so if I just clicked   on Candyland here you can get an idea of which  ones you might want so if I hit plus I can go   back and present again the kindness tree you can  hear it slightly in the back in the background   there okay so what I'm going to do now is just  go through and finish up all these slides the   exact same way that I showed you and then I want  to show you how to turn this into a video i went   through and finished off my story and I added  the sound to every one of the pages you need to

do that to be able to generate a video so for  the video all you need to do is click up here   i do want to show you this as well you can export  this all as a PDF export image as well i'm going   to go and generate the video we'll leave it as  this just go ahead and click it and now we have   a few settings now I'm just going to leave this  at twinkling stars is there any animation you can   go through and check out uh as you click on any  of these it gives you a quick idea i'll leave it   there and background music I'll leave it there  so I'm going to go ahead and generate it doesn't   take too long to do this now we can go ahead  and view our video and you'll see as it loads   up behind a tree in a cozy house at the edge of  maple we have this video that's 3 minutes and 15   seconds i can go ahead and download it and then I  could upload it to my YouTube channel to navigate   back to the home screen just click on read kids  and you're going to see under my creations now   I have the kindness tree we have Ella's robot  here the videos are here as well that I can go   back to the last thing I just want to point out is  this use my story now if you have a story already
