DHART: 20 Years of Critical Care Transport

DHART is the only helicopter EMS within Vermont and New Hampshire. We provide a service like few others across the United States. We have the equipment and the training to handle life support missions. We take care of the sickest and most badly injured patients, and to be able to help those people on a daily basis is incredibly rewarding. And now I’ve got to go.

DHART 1, modify scene, meet EMS at Cheshire Medical Center – That’s us, so…We’re on our way the plan right now is to land at your facility for a head injury coming out of Surry. We should be landing in about 10 minutes. If that changes, I will certainly let you know, okay? As soon as we get the call, we move out to the helicopter, and we like to be off the ground in under five minutes. Lebanon tower, DHART 1 is at the hospital, going southeast. DHART-1, Lebanon tower, good afternoon altimeter 2 niner 86, transition approved, report clear the delta.  Once we get the mission activated and the vehicle leaves the here, then our primary function turns into keeping track of that vehicle.

All of the programs in the northeast belong to Feet Eyes which is keeping track of where the aircraft are all the time to keep from running into each other.  We have the landing field set up in a ball field.

The only hazards are on the west side of the highway. There are powerlines. DHART provides critical care transport when time is going to make a difference in the outcome of the patient.

We bring the hospital to the patient and continue that level of care till they arrive at the receiving hospital. I like to describe DHART as an outstretched hand, extending the reach of DH and the quality care that is known for our organization.  The DHART program really stresses safety. They have all the safety features on this aircraft. They have all the rules in place, and so that, to me, speaks to the desire for Dartmouth Hitchcock to provide a safe environment, not only for the people that work for them, but also for the patients that we’re moving around.

Yeah DHART 1, we’re about five minutes out from landing, if you could let security know please.

It’s a fantastic resource, and it gets us to the patient in the most appropriate, safe way.

DHART was the brainchild of a number of individuals here at the hospital who saw the need to have a helicopter transport service based here at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center to transport patients from the rural regions of both New Hampshire and Vermont. My interest in the DHART program came up the day it was born because I was in the military at the time, and I heard, “Hey, they’re starting a helicopter “program”, in the place that I wanted to retire. It was in development for a couple of years before July 1, 1994, which is the day that DHART went into service.

And once it got going, it became quite obvious that every year you have more and more patients to move as more and more people become aware of this service.

Now we have transported just slightly over 24,000 patients by both helicopter and by ground ambulance. The vast majority of our missions are to rural hospitals and back here. Clearly the most fun are when you go up into the mountains and you have to find some little, tiny space to land or put the skids down on uneven rocks. To be able to land somewhere pretty remote is pretty challenging and very exciting.

People will first notice that it is quite small inside the aircraft. Everything that we have is within arm’s reach, and so we can always pass equipment back and forth to each other. We have an array of equipment that makes it more like a flying intensive care unit. One of the new pieces of equipment that we carry is a portable I-STAT, which can get a complete readout on the patient’s blood chemistry through a drop of blood that we process through this machine.

The red bag we consider kind of our primary bag.

One of the things in the top of our red bag here is a video laryngoscope that helps facilitate placing breathing tube into a patient. We carry three units of O negative blood, and we transfuse blood to our critically injured patients. We have it, if the patient needs blood we can deliver it in the aircraft. It can be a lifesaving intervention in the field.

So, really there are benefits in working in an environment that is smaller like this.

This is a good size for what we do, and as you can see, it’s pretty well equipped. You doing okay, Ruth? Is this painful here? No. – The aircraft are operated by Metro Aviation.

So, every time we take off, Metro Headquarters, in Shreveport, is authorizing that flight, and they look at every single take-off, and they monitor our progress throughout the flight, and they also handle all of the mechanical issues with the aircraft, and all of the normal scheduled maintenance. DHART’s ground team provides the same level of service that we do by air.


They often back me up. They will do the time-sensitive critical care transports that I can’t get to. There’s no delineation between the level of care you would get from the helicopter or from the ground unit.

One of the things we are challenged with is the enormous differences in weather. We fly in all sorts of weather that can change throughout the day, let alone the week or the month. We have implemented a number of safety features, not only to the staff in the helicopter, but then, also the patients that they’re caring for. First, they switched the type of aircraft to the EC135. We have added a new base in Manchester, New Hampshire, with a second aircraft.

We also added night vision goggle capability, which greatly enhances our safety margin because we can now see the mountains looming out there in the darkness, and then we added terrain awareness, and it will set off an alarm if you get too close too fast.

Caution, terrain. Caution, terrain. And then, finally, traffic awareness which looks for other aircraft around us, so some great safety advantages that expanded our ability to conduct missions in poorer weather. – We’re the first in the nation, GPS approaches, into various hospitals and helipads, and various navigation routes.

It’s low-level IFR instrument flight rules hospital to hospital, so we don’t necessarily have to have an approach from airport to airport, primarily in New Hampshire and Vermont. We can go to all of our local hospitals and local landing zones to get patients where other times weather, in the past, may have precluded that. DHART, be just a moment on the ground here and take off here momentarily. The training that we have and the equipment that we carry, and ultimately the speed of the helicopter is what certainly saves lives, and it makes me very proud to be associated with such a great team of people.

I feel like I’m living my purpose by being able to positively impact other people’s lives.

Having a group of individuals that’s ready to go at a moment’s notice for whatever they’re called to, is very, very rewarding. I’m impressed by what we are able to accomplish each and every day.  Lebanon tower, DHART 1’s about nine miles to the south, inbound for the hospital.

[Aikido Special] Top 5 Aikido Documentaries

Welcome to Aikido Siauliai’s Top 5 Aikido Documentaries. We’ve chosen five different documentaries about Aikido that seem to catch most attention to those practising and those who’ve never tried Aikido before. Mind that it is only our personal opinion of the list and we are looking forward to hearing your feedback at the end of your watching. First off, we have “Aikido Kyoto – Okamoto Yoko Shihan”. Although it’s a fairly new documentary it has already caught the attention of many people. It’s very well filmed, the quality and music are great. There is a nice balance between training shots and the interview to keep viewers’ attention. Also, it is not so common to see a documentary featuring a woman Sensei, which also makes it stand out of the crud.

Although Steven Seagal is a very contraceptional figure, we cannot deny how well this documentary is made. Despite at certain moments feeling a bit puffed up, it succeeds in drawing in the viewer and making everyone who watches it feel inspired about the art and burning to either start doing it or run back and train on the mat.

Also, it is a good chance to get closer to the Steven Seagal’s legend… Or… At least it’s bright side of it. A great mix between some history, information and entertainment – the samurai Spirit captures it all. Although not always precise and sometimes a bit artificial, it is a great documentary to get someone interested into the art and also receive some insights about Aikido. Considering the colourfulness and wide covering of various topics, we’ve chosen this to be our number 3 best Aikido documentary.

Although it has both its ups and downs, the National Geographic’s Aikido documentary stands up to its name. It touches both Japan’s and Aikidos history and introduces some of the most well-known Aikido Sensei’s, which makes it a well-deserved place in our list. The documentary not only introduces you to the art but also takes you on a journey through different places and moments of importance of this sophisticated path. How could this list be without a documentary dedicated to the founder himself – Morihei Ueshiba. Although just 30 minutes long, it allows us to come closer to the once living legend, not only letting us know more about the practice, but also about the life and philosophy that Sensei cherished so much.

It is a documentary that captures a moment in Aikido’s history and should be seen by all its practitioners. So, we hope you enjoyed our list. Let us know in the comments if you think we’ve missed something or if you would have made the list differently, also if you would like to see more of Aikido’s top lists.

Don’t forget to press the like button since that helps us a lot and also subscribe to know when our next video comes out.

No More Overscheduling Your Kids

Interviewer: When kids are over scheduled that means their parents are really over scheduled and joining us now is Eirene Heidelberger parent, coach and President and C.E.O., anything else of GIT MOM? Eirene: I think that’s enough.

Interviewer: What does GIT MOM stand for? Eirene: Get It Together Moms. Interviewer: Get It Together Moms. It’s a full-service coaching firm dedicated to helping parents, right? Eirene: Absolutely.

Interviewer: All right so let’s today focus on, in terms of getting things together, five ways to keep kids’ schedules from getting overloaded. Sounds like a pretty simple topic but you have various points you want to emphasize as to how to handle it, right? Eirene: Definitely, so my first point I say to moms is they have to be the ones who are in charge of the child’s schedule and not the child because if a child is allowed dictate his own day, well he is going to do everything he wants everything under the sun and that’s exactly when life gets totally out of control.

Interviewer: So, remember who is in charge. Eirene: Absolutely.

Mom and the parents are in charge. Interviewer: All right and you need to really check in and review the schedule thoroughly to see if your little boy or girl is really over scheduled. Eirene: Absolutely and I suggest to moms before the school season gets really rocking and rolling take a look at the schedule together. Mom and son and daughter they take a look to see if they’ve over committed. Because when a family over commits that’s when they started to rush and yell at each other and that’s when it gets crazy.

Interviewer: Tension mounts and then things explode at certain points.

Eirene: That’s right. Interviewer: All right, so you need to limit the activities, right? They might want to join every club and get involved in every sport but it’s just isn’t all doable, right? Eirene: Right, and that is when mom has to be the bad cop and she has to limit the number of activities that she lets her child participate in.

And I suggest no more than two core sports or activities and then you have to drop the rest because truly any more than that is too much time on a child as well as the whole family having to support what can be really lengthy time commitments. Interviewer: Okay and you suggest that at least one day a week the kid has nothing and just comes straight home from school. Eirene: Right, totally come home. In our family, I have three boys, I’ll pick them up right from school we’ll go for an early dinner at four o’clock then we get home, we have movie night or we get the basics out of the way like homework, snack and then we chill out and we let the children choose, it’s free time it’s their choice.

It’s really up to mom to protect this day and say “no” to future invitations because your child needs to just be home relaxing.

Interviewer: Well, I like that idea, I really do it’s probably harder to do than you think but that’s a great concept, and then finally you say you know these invites to the birthday parties? Eirene: Oh, my God it’s endless and now it’s starting, now we are back to the school we’re all in each other’s faces. Interviewer: You have one every week it seems like, right? Eirene: Or two or three on the weekends. I coach moms to say “no” and say “no” guilt free on their child’s behalf because they need to protect their best interests.

Your child doesn’t need to attend every play date, every birthday party because it’s too much on your child. Let them stay home and rejuvenate. Interviewer: Good ideas, I like, it this is Eirene Heidelberger of gitmom.com. Good to see you again.

Labor Markets and Minimum Wage: Crash Course Economics #28

Adriene: Welcome to Crash Course Economics, I’m Adriene Hill, Jacob: and I’m Jacob Clifford, and today we’re going to talk about labor markets, a pretty important topic. Adriene: Unless you’re independently wealthy, or fine with living in your parents’ basement, you probably need to get a job. But how do you even get a job? And what kind of job should you get? In a lot of ways, it comes down to supplying a skill that someone else demands.

This is Cristiano Ronaldo. He makes about $20 million a year playing soccer. Or football, depending on where you live. Pretty much everybody would agree no one NEEDS that kind of money, but does he deserve it? How do his employers, the Real Madrid Football Club, justify this huge salary? Admittedly, the market for professional athletes is complex, but on some level, it’s supply and demand.

The supply of people that have the skills to be world class soccer players is low. And the demand for world class soccer players is incredibly high. Ronaldo might be willing to play for only 10 million dollars a year; it’s a lot of money. He might even play for 5 million. And if he really truly loved the beautiful game, he might do it for free. So why is he getting 20 million dollars? This goes back to that really high demand. Having a superstar on your team generates millions in ticket and merchandise sales. It might help you win some of the many cups up for grabs in international football. So Real Madrid thought Ronaldo and his double scissor move, were worth 20 million dollars, and Ronaldo agreed, so they have a contract. These same ideas explain how wages are determined in nearly every labor market. Let’s go the Thought Bubble. Jacob: Usually when Stan goes to the mall, he’s the buyer. He demands sunglasses and giant pretzels and the businesses supply them. But if he wants a job at the mall’s pretzel shop, the roles are reversed. Since he supplies labor, he is now the seller, and the pretzel shop owner becomes the buyer.

A buyer of labor. Now, that’s when wage negotiation ensues. Stan could insist on a wage of $25 an hour for his pretzel skills, but the owner would point out that they could easily hire other people for much less. The owner could offer Stan a wage of only $1 per hour, but Stan would point out that he could easily get paid more at the Froyo shop. In the end, they agree on a wage that makes each of them better off. The owner gets some help around the store and Stan earns money so he can buy even cooler sunglasses. Economists call this voluntary exchange. The supply of labor depends on the number of people that are qualified to do the job. Stan would love to get paid more, but since warming up pretzels doesn’t require extensive skills, the supply of capable workers is high and consequently the wage is relatively low. But that doesn’t mean that Stan is going to work for peanuts. The wage offered has to cover his opportunity cost the value of his lost free time and the money he could be making doing something else.

The demand for labor depends on the demand for the products a business sell. Economists call this derived demand.

If pretzel demand is booming, then the store owners are going to want more pretzel makers. If other stores also need more employees, demand for workers will increase and drive-up wages. Thanks, Thought Bubble.

Supply and demand explain why wages are different for different professions. Engineers are in high demand because they produce the products that many consumers want and their supply is limited because the training for these jobs is pretty difficult. Social workers and historians, aren’t paid as much, even though their work is important because demand is relatively low and supply is relatively high. It’s not rocket science. Adriene: Supply and demand explain a lot, but there are several reasons why wages in a labor market don’t end up at a competitive equilibrium.



Sometimes workers get paid less not because they have different skill levels, but because of their race, ethnic origin, sex, age, or other characteristics.

This is called wage discrimination.

Wages might also be unfairly low when a labor market is a monopsony when there is only one company hiring and workers are relatively immobile. When you’re the only employer, workers have to take what you offer, or they’re out of luck.

Take the NCAA, the organization that regulates college athletics in the US.

Many economists point out that high profile college athletes are generating millions of dollars for their schools, but they’re forced to accept a very low “wage” of a scholarship with free tuition. Now sure, baseball and hockey players can skip straight to the pros, but the NFL prohibits drafting football players until three years after high school. And And NBA teams can’t draft basketball players until they’re 19. There are some situations where wages might actually be higher than market equilibrium.

For example, some employers might voluntarily offer higher than normal wages to increase worker productivity and retention. Economists call this efficiency wages. Henry Ford doubled the wages of assembly line workers in 1914 to keep them from seeking jobs elsewhere. And this still goes on today. You may not be completely happy with your job, but if it offers way more than what everyone else is paying, you’re less likely to quit. Unions can also drive-up wages. A union is an organization that advances the collective interest of employees and strives to improve working conditions and increase wages.

They do this through collective bargaining. Representatives for the workers negotiate with employers and if their demands aren’t met, workers go on strike and stop production altogether. Although unions were once very strong in the US, union membership and their strength has declined since the 1950s. At their height, approximately 1 in 3 American workers were in a labor union. These days it’s more like 1 in 9, and the largest unions represent workers in the public sector, like teachers and firefighters.

Wages might also not be at equilibrium when there is a minimum wage basically a price floor that prevents employers from paying workers below a specific amount. Technically, in the US, minimum wage affects less than 3% of workers. But the Brookings Institution estimates that an increase in the minimum wage likely wouldn’t just impact that small slice of the labor market. It would also drive up the wages of people who make just above the minimum wage. According to Brookings, that ripple effect could raise the wages of nearly 30% of the workforce. The debate over whether or not there should be a minimum wage, and how high that minimum wage should be, gets pretty heated pretty fast. Some Some classical economists argue against nearly all forms of government manipulation in competitive markets. They say the minimum wage not only leads to unemployment, but it actually hurts the people it claims to help.

Their logic goes something like this: A minimum wage deters employers from hiring unskilled workers, hiring only skilled or semi-skilled workers instead. These economists argue that minimum wage does little or nothing to alleviate poverty, since instead of earning a minimum wage, unskilled workers end up earning no wage at all. The economists that support a minimum wage argue that real life labor markets aren’t as competitive or transparent as classical economists suggest. They believe that employers have the upper hand when it comes to negotiating wages and that individual workers lack bargaining power. I’m not going to tell you what to think, but think about it like this: if a grocery store wasn’t required to pay $7.25 an hour, and the grocery store was the only place hiring, they could likely squeeze individual employees to accepting lower than market value. In this interpretation, minimum wage isn’t interfering with competitive markets, as much as it’s correcting a market failure.

Remember anti-trust laws that prevent powerful monopolies from charging higher prices?

Economists that support minimum wage laws say they prevent employers from using their power to exploit workers. The economists who are entirely opposed to minimum wage laws are losing the policy battle. Most countries around the world have minimum wage laws, and many of those countries without them have de facto minimum wages, set by collective bargaining agreements. But even among economists who support some sort of minimum wage, there’s disagreement over how high that minimum wage should be, and what raising the minimum wage might do to the economy.

Consider the U.S.: the current federal minimum wage is $7.25 an hour. In 2014, 600 economists, including 7 Nobel Prize winners signed a letter arguing that the minimum wage should be increased to $10.10 an hour. They argued that raising the minimum wage could have a small benefit to the economy. Workers, with their newly increased wages, would spend more. This would increase demand and perhaps help stimulate employment. But some of those same economists balked when it came to the question of raising the minimum wage to fifteen dollars an hour. They argue that even if a fifteen dollar an hour minimum wage might make sense in an expensive city, like Los Angeles or New York, where the median income is relatively high, it could have a significant negative effect on employment in a city or town where incomes are lower. If economics was a pure science, we could just test these ideas under controlled circumstances.

We could have one state set a significantly higher minimum wage than its neighbor and see what happens. It turns out that happened in 1992, and economists David Card and Alan Krueger studied it. New Jersey raised its minimum wage from $4.25 to $5.05 while Pennsylvania kept theirs at $4.25. The economists surveyed large fast-food chains along the state’s shared border and found that workers didn’t get fired, in fact, employment in New Jersey actually increased. But it’s far from settled. There have also been studies that indicate raising the minimum wage DOES increase unemployment. A relatively recent survey of economists, by the University of Chicago, found that a small majority think raising the minimum wage to nine dollars an hour would make it noticeably harder for poor people to get work. But and this is where it gets interesting, a slim majority also thought the increase would be worthwhile, because the benefits to people who could find jobs at nine dollars an hour would outweigh the negative effect on overall employment.

Jacob: Very few economists argue a higher minimum wage will end poverty, but some argue that it could reduce poverty. The minimum wage doesn’t exist in vacuum. Policies that fight poverty should also focus on providing education and skills. Adriene: Those skills are what the labor market values. It’s those skills that are in short supply and high demand and will command higher wages. So, while you’re waiting for economists to figure all this out, you might want to learn a new skill. Practice your double scissor and maybe take Ronaldo’s job. Jacob: Thanks for watching Crash Course Economics, which is made with the help of all these awesome people.

I Found a NEW NICHE For PINTEREST AFFILIATE MARKETING

If I were to name the best e-platforms from which to earn a living in 2024,  Pinterest Affiliate Marketing would be among my top three. Why? You’ll find out pretty soon. In this video, I’m not just going to teach you how to get started; I’ll also reveal a brand-new niche with incredibly high potential that anyone can quickly jump into, and the platform will become a cash cow for them. So, if you want to enter the world of affiliate marketing, there is no other video you need to watch right now! First things first. Let’s talk about why selecting the right niche is so crucial. In affiliate  marketing, your niche is your focus area. It determines the kind of products you will promote,  the audience you will target, and, ultimately, the success of your marketing efforts.

A well-chosen niche, as you’re about to see, can make all the difference between a thriving business and one that struggles to gain an audience. Here’s a quick one for those joining us for the first time and wondering, “What’s going on here? What is affiliate marketing anyway?” Well, affiliate marketing basically means promoting products or services on behalf of a company and earning a commission for every sale or lead generated through your unique affiliate link. That said, let’s jump into HOW TO FIND A GOOD NICHE

When choosing a niche, there are three key factors to consider: high demand, low competition, and the potential for profitability. To put it plainly, you want something that people are actively searching for, but that isn’t oversaturated with marketers. Now, there are several methods you can use. From Pinterest Trends down to keyword research tools like Arefs or SEMrush, and of course, good old-fashioned browsing through popular Pinterest boards to see what’s trending. It’s like a treasure hunt, but for niches! So, as you go on this hunt, pay attention to categories with high engagement rates, like health and wellness, DIY crafts, or home decor. I did some research myself, and I came up with a generic niche: tech. Remember what I said earlier about considering three key factors like high demand, low competition, and the potential for profitability, right? Tell you what.

The tech accessories niche ticks all these boxes.

I mean, what are you using to watch this video? It’s either a phone, a laptop, a desktop computer, or whatever. So, you see, technology is a must-have for everyone. “But what about the competition aspect?” You might ask. “Surely, since it’s a must-have, many marketers out there are already into it.” Well, let me say this. Technology is constantly evolving, and  people are always looking for the latest gadgets and accessories to enhance their tech experience. So, what exactly does the tech accessory niche include? Well, it has a wide range of products, such as phone cases, screen protectors, charging cables, wireless chargers, headphones, and more. These are everyday items that people need. So, to get the trends within this niche, let’s head over to Pinterest Trends.

This tool is amazing for spotting what’s hot right now on Pinterest. Let’s do a quick search together. Oh, by the way, you must have a Pinterest  account to be able to do this.

If you don’t have one, it is pretty straightforward to create. Also, to get Pinterest analytics, you have to get a Pinterest business account. account. So, if you already have a Pinterest account, you can switch to a business account. Moving on. . .here’s where it gets even more juicy. We have a tool called Pinterest Trends. This fantastic tool shows you what people are currently searching for on Pinterest. It provides insights into popular search terms and the volume of those searches over time. So, by analyzing these trends, you can identify niches that are gaining popularity and those that have consistent interest. Alright, here we are on Pinterest Trends. Let’s type in tech gadgets and see what comes up. As you can see, there’s a steady interest over time, which is a good sign. Now, let’s narrow it down. Let’s try headphones. With the rise of remote work and online content consumption, headphones and earbuds (especially wireless ones) are a necessity.

Look at that! The headphones are hot right now.

In other words, this is a good indicator that this product is in demand. And. I need a new one myself, to be honest. Meanwhile, if you absolutely have no clue what the latest products people are raving about might be, tech blogs, YouTube channels like mine, and social media influencers are there to help you. Speaking of my YouTube channel, kindly “like,” “subscribe,” and “share” this video. Done? You’re fantastic! Back to our discussion. Another method is to browse popular Pinterest boards to see what’s trending.

This is a more hands-on approach but can be very effective. Look for boards with high engagement rates and lots of re-pins, comments, and likes. This indicates that the content gains a lot of audience. Let’s look at an example. I recently created a Pinterest board focusing on ‘must-have tech accessories.’ This board features a variety of pins showcasing trendy and useful tech gadgets. Here’s a look at my Pinterest board.

It’s filled with pins that highlight products like Bluetooth earphones, magnetic charging cables, and smart home devices. Creating a dedicated board helps to centralize all your niche-related content, making it easier for followers to find and engage with your pins. HOW AFFILIATE LINKS WORK Now, let’s talk about how to monetize this niche using affiliate links.


If you’re new to affiliate marketing, it’s simple. You sign up for affiliate programs, like Amazon Associates, and get unique links to promote products.

Log into your affiliate account and head over to the dashboard.

Then, use the search feature to find the product you want to promote.

For instance, if you’re promoting headphones, search for “headphones” in the Amazon Associates dashboard and generate the link. Once you find the product, click on the link under the product. This link will track any sales made  through your referral, and you will get paid. You can include your affiliate link in the  pin description when you create a pin. For example, if you’re pinning about headphones,  you can link to the product on Amazon. Once you’ve signed up for an affiliate  program, you’ll get access to unique affiliate links. These links are used  to track the traffic and sales you generate. That said, let’s find a specific product on  Amazon to use as an example.

Here’s a great product. So, we are going to copy the link  and save it for later. CREATING THE PIN So, how do we put this into our Pinterest strategy? First, we need to create a visually appealing pin. We can use ChatGPT or Canva to create an attractive description.

Personally, I’d go with Canva.

Some people prefer ChatGPT, but hey, whatever rocks their boat, right? On Canva, to design a pin featuring the headphones, we can use this tool called  HEYGEN to create a video on these headphones. That’s right. With this tool, creating your own  video is pretty easy! All you need to do is copy the affiliate link, paste it, and voilà! A video with all the product information magically appears. How cool is that? But wait, there’s more! You can spice it up by adding your pictures or videos. When you’ve crafted your masterpiece, just hit  the ‘Looking Good’ button. This takes you to the next exciting step: finding your target audience. Lucky for us, we picked a product that’s for everyone. Whether it’s for school, work, or anything else, this product fits right in. So, who are the target audience?

Men, women, and teenagers, there are many options! Next, choose your video language.

I’m going with English, but you have other options too.

Let’s click on ‘Next Step’. EDITING AND GENERATING THE VIDEO Here’s where it gets even more fun. You’ll see different script options pop up. Feel free to switch up the script to make it sound more natural and less like it was written by Ai. Don’t forget to add a catchy call to action, something like, “Click the link below to get this awesome product!” That way, you can encourage viewers to click your link. Once you’ve edited the script, save your changes and move on to the video generation step. This is where the magic happens. After the video is generated, you can get creative with edits. Maybe switch out the cover or try a new template. But, of course, you can leave it the way it is if you’re fine with it. Finally, watch your video. If it’s not quite right, you can edit it until it’s just how you want it. When you’re fine with the final product, hit submit and return to the homepage.

Your video will be ready for download.
