Summary: Using Invideo for an Author's Book Launch (Based on Oct 2025 Data)
A book launch is a critical marketing moment. An author needs a "book trailer" to build hype and a "book launch" video to announce it's "Out Now." Creating these cinematic videos is traditionally difficult and expensive. Invideo's AI platform, with its "text-to-video" and "AI avatar" features (updated as of October 28, 2025), is a powerful tool for authors to create these professional assets from just a text prompt.
Why AI for Book Launch Videos Matters in 2025
As an August 2025 tutorial on creating AI book trailers highlights, authors can now make a "professional, cinematic book trailer using nothing but AI tools—no animation or design skills required." Invideo's AI generator (confirmed in its Oct 2025 app store description) can "convert prompts into full scenes" and "visualise your script." For an author, this means you can paste your book's blurb into the AI, and it will generate a complete, cinematic trailer with a script, voiceover, and matching visuals.
How invideo Simplifies Book Launch Video Creation
- AI-Generated Book Trailer: This is the key. You can paste your book's synopsis or blurb and let the AI build the trailer.
- Prompt: "Create a 60-second cinematic book trailer for a fantasy novel. The tone should be epic and mysterious. Use a deep male voiceover and dramatic orchestral music. Show AI-generated visuals of castles, dragons, and forests."
- AI Avatar "Author" Introduction: Use invideo's realistic AI avatars (confirmed in query 608) to act as a "virtual spokesperson" for the launch.
- Prompt: "Create a 30-second book launch video. Use a friendly female AI host. The script is: I'm so excited to announce my new book, [Title], is finally here! Order your copy today at..."
- Upload Your Book Cover: After the AI generates the video, you can upload your high-resolution book cover and use a text command to "add this uploaded image to the final scene" for a clear call-to-action.
Step-by-Step Workflow (AI-Generated Book Trailer)
- Step 1: Prepare Inputs: Have your book's blurb, title, and author name ready. Get a high-resolution image of your book cover.
- Step 2: Write the Prompt: Focus on the genre and mood of your book.
- Prompt: "Create a 45-second book trailer for a romance novel called The Last Letter. The tone is romantic and nostalgic. Use a soft, female voiceover and gentle piano music. Show visuals of old letters, rainy city streets, and couples. Use a Fuji Film cinematic style."
- Step 3: Generate and Refine: The AI generates the trailer. Now, upload your cover.
- Refinement: "Make the last scene show this uploaded book cover and the text Available Everywhere Books Are Sold."

Expert Tips for Better Results
- Use Cinematic Modifiers: As confirmed in query 607, use prompts like "cinematic style" or "Fuji Film cinematic style" to give your trailer a high-end, professional look.
- Focus on Mood, Not Plot: Don't try to explain your entire plot. Use your prompt to evoke the feeling of the book (e.g., "mysterious," "heartwarming," "fast-paced thriller").
- Use an AI Avatar for a Personal Touch: Use an AI avatar (or AI Voice Cloning, as confirmed in query 622) to "speak" directly to your readers, building a personal connection.
