How the Broadcast Video Works
PrankAI first builds the broadcast frame: the studio, the anchor, your photo in the graphic box and your headline in the red banner. Then it turns that frame into a five-second video with sound. The anchor looks into the camera and reads the line. The frame looks like a phone recording of a TV, with glare on the screen.
Writing What the Anchor Says
The default line is "Breaking news. Police are looking for [name] tonight." You can change it. Keep it to one or two short sentences, because the anchor has about five seconds. Flat, serious news wording is funnier than a joke.
Not for Real News
This is for jokes about your friends. Don't use it to fake a real event, a real outlet's branding, or anything a stranger could mistake for reporting.
