Answering Questions (Manual Mode)

After you submit your prompt and Reference Video in Manual Mode, VidRush may ask you a set of follow-up questions before generating your video. These questions help the AI dial in on your creative intent so the final script lands closer to what you had in mind.

This step is skipped entirely in Auto Mode.

What the AI asks and why

VidRush asks a fixed set of questions across two steps, with four questions total. The final question adapts based on your topic and format. They typically focus on:

• Which angles or themes to emphasize most
• Specific details to include or leave out
• Tone preferences (serious, conversational, dramatic)
• Audience-level assumptions (beginner vs. informed viewer)
• Structural preferences (chronological, thematic, problem-solution)

The AI isn’t testing you. It’s filling in the gaps between what you wrote in your prompt and what it needs to produce a strong script. Think of it as a brief creative conversation before production begins.

How to answer effectively

Be specific. Vague answers produce vague scripts. Instead of “make it interesting,” say “lean into the conspiracy angle and use a skeptical, investigative tone.” The more precise your direction, the closer the output matches your vision.

Use your research. If you’ve already done niche research or built a Success Formula (see In-Depth Prompting), this is where that work pays off. Paste key insights, audience descriptions, or structural notes directly into your answers.

Don’t overthink it. If you’ve written a detailed prompt using the Four Pillars, the AI may ask fewer or simpler questions. A well-written prompt reduces the heavy lifting here.
