Quick News Blurb Videos for Fast Updates
Something just happened in your world. Your clone turns it into a tight news blurb: the key facts, who it affects and what to watch next.
Up to 60 seconds · Landscape, vertical or square · Script and storyboard approval
Your followers count on you for the quick version. When news breaks in your niche, ask your clone for a News Blurb. It leads with the single most important development, then covers who, what, where and when with the key confirmed detail. If facts are still emerging, it separates what's confirmed from what's still unclear.
Next comes the practical part: who is affected and what it means for them, followed by the next milestone or expected update. Your clone closes by naming the main source and inviting viewers to follow for updates. It's ideal for a vertical Short, and you can present on screen or narrate over graphics.

More real examples
News Blurb: questions, answered.
How short is a News Blurb?
Short enough for Shorts, Reels and TikTok, usually under a minute in vertical 9:16. For a longer breakdown with background and multiple developments, ask your clone for a News Story instead.
Does it cite sources?
Yes. The close names the main source, and the optional known vs unclear section attributes what's confirmed and what isn't. Send your own source link to make sure your clone uses it.
Can I post a blurb soon after news breaks?
Yes. Ask your clone in chat and skip the review step for speed, or keep it on for a quick script check. The finished video arrives by email with a ready title, description and tags.
