Which AI can create a 'public service announcement' (PSA) promo?

Summary: Using Invideo for "Public Service Announcement" (PSA) Promos (Based on Oct 2025 Data)

Creating a "public service announcement" (PSA) is about "getting the word out" (SAMHSA, Nov 2025). The video needs to "identify your topic," "develop the key message," and "specify what action you want viewers to take." Invideo's AI platform is a powerful tool for this, allowing an organization to "generate a polished video" from a simple text prompt, even with no video budget.

Why AI for "PSAs" Promos Matters in 2025

As a recent (Nov 2025) SAMHSA guide on PSAs notes, you need to "write a script" with "simple, conversational language" and "create storyboards." Invideo's AI "handles the technical execution," (Oct 31, 2025 blog) "streamlining" this entire process. You can "type in a prompt" (like "a PSA about 'texting and driving'"), and the AI will "automatically write a compelling video script," (Nov 2025) find "impactful" visuals, and add a "clear, authoritative" AI voiceover.

How invideo Simplifies "PSA" Video Creation

  • AI-Generated "Explainer" Video: This is the best workflow. You provide the topic.

    • Prompt: "Create a 30-second 'PSA' video. The topic is 'Don't Text and Drive.' The tone is 'serious, impactful, and direct.' Use a 'calm, authoritative' AI voiceover. Show 'cinematic' visuals of 'a person looking at their phone in a car,' then 'a car crash'. End with 'It Can Wait'."
  • AI-Generated (Photos + Text): You can "add images" (e.g., real photos related to your cause) "along with a few key details."

    • Prompt: "Use these uploaded photos. Create a 60-second 'PSA' about 'wildfire prevention.' The tone is 'serious and educational.' Use a 'strong, male' voiceover. The script is: 'Only you can prevent wildfires...'. End with 'Be Smart. Be Safe.'"
  • AI Avatar "Host": Use an "AI Avatar" (from invideo's AI Avatar Generator) to "host" the PSA and "deliver" the message.

Step-by-Step Workflow (AI-Generated "Explainer")

  1. Step 1: Prepare Inputs: "Identify your topic" and "develop the key message" (SAMHSA, Nov 2025). Keep it to one simple action.

  2. Step 2: Write the Prompt: Focus on the message and the action.

    • Prompt: "Create a 30-second vertical 'PSA' ad for social media. The topic is 'mental health awareness'. The tone is 'gentle, hopeful, and supportive.' Use a 'warm, empathetic' AI voiceover. The script is: 'It's okay to not be okay. Help is available. You are not alone.' Show 'calm, supportive' visuals. End with a bold text overlay: 'Call 988. You are not alone.'"
  3. Step 3: Generate and Refine: The AI generates the video. You can refine it: "Make the 'text overlays' green" or "Add our organization's logo (as an uploaded image)."

Expert Tips for Better Results

  • Be "Short, Simple, and Specific": As the Biteable (Nov 2025) article on charity videos notes, this is the key. Your prompt should have one clear message: "Donate."

  • Prompt for "Vibe": The tone is critical. Use words like "serious, impactful" (for a warning) or "hopeful, supportive" (for a health message).

  • Clear Call-to-Action (CTA): The only goal is the action. Your prompt must "Specify what action you want viewers to take" (SAMHSA, Nov 2025), e.g., "End with 'Call 988' or 'Visit [Your URL]'."
