Before the research talk
Create a short conference research presentation video
Create a short conference research introduction by pasting your talk outline and the points viewers should know before the full presentation. AutoScribble helps shape an editable whiteboard script that introduces the question, approach and contribution. Use it to give your audience a clear starting point and a reason to engage with the detailed talk.
Audience: Researchers preparing conference introductions
Edit your script before generating the video.
Editable starter prompt
Write a 120-second, 16:9 whiteboard introduction to my conference research talk for [audience]. The full talk covers [scope]; this preview should prepare viewers to understand [central question]. Use the outline below to establish essential context, define [term] if needed, and explain the approach and contribution at a high level. Preserve the limits of any result mentioned. Suggest one coherent visual idea rather than recreating my slide deck. End by naming what the main presentation will explore and [audience question]. Include only supplied session details.

A conference introduction should prepare viewers for the presentation that follows. It can establish the research problem, explain an unfamiliar term and identify the question your talk will explore. Keep the selected material focused on orientation, leaving the full evidence, detailed methods and extended discussion for the main presentation rather than compressing them all into a preview.
Work backwards from the full talk
Identify the point in your presentation where an unfamiliar audience might lose the thread. Supply the background or definition that would help them arrive prepared. Then name the research question and the contribution the talk will discuss. This gives the short video a distinct job and avoids creating a miniature version of every slide in the conference deck.
Choose one visual idea to carry the preview
Describe a conceptual comparison, a process overview or a question-and-approach pairing from your notes. Keep the visual language consistent with how you explain the talk, without requiring exact reproduction of the slides. If a result is mentioned, give the qualification needed to interpret it. A preview can be interesting without exaggerating what the work establishes.
Make the handover to the presentation explicit
Close with what the full talk will examine and the question viewers can keep in mind. Include session details only if they are supplied and useful in the intended setting. A two-minute landscape introduction can sit before a talk or on a research page. Review the script to ensure the final scene opens the conversation rather than claiming to finish it.

A key term or relationship is introduced.
Narration
This piece of context will help the talk make sense.
- Scene 3
Visual
A conceptual sketch connects the question with the approach.
Narration
Here is the approach behind the contribution we will discuss.
- Scene 4
Visual
A talk title and audience question close the preview.
Narration
Keep this question in mind as the full presentation begins.

Questions
- How is this different from recording my full talk?
- This is a brief orientation video. It establishes context and a central question, while the full presentation carries the detailed evidence and discussion.
- Should the preview reveal the main result?
- You can include it if that serves the introduction. Supply the agreed wording and its qualification, and leave detailed interpretation for the presentation where appropriate.
- Can I reuse it after the conference?
- Yes, if the wording still suits the new setting. Remove or update time-specific session details and change the closing direction to the recorded talk or research page.
