Better Rundowns with AI for TV, video & broadcast

Want to spend less time writing scripts and more time being creative? Our latest tutorial shows you how AI Rundowns can speed up your workflow and free up your team’s imagination.

Producing live or multi-camera shows is all about precision, timing, and teamwork. At the centre of every production sits the rundown script. It is the master plan that tells your entire team what will happen, when, and how. While essential, rundown scripts are often one of the most time-consuming aspects of the production process. Writing, revising, and keeping them up to date can eat away at precious creative time.

That’s why Dramatify has introduced AI Rundowns. In our brand-new tutorial, we guide you through how artificial intelligence can help outline, generate, and improve your rundown scripts. The goal is simple: spend less time formatting and more time focusing on creativity, storytelling, and live performance.

Why Rundowns Matter More Than Ever

In live broadcasting and multi-camera studio shows, rundowns are not just helpful — they are critical. They hold everything together. When scripts are clear, the entire production runs smoothly. When scripts are confusing, missing details, or updated too late, the pressure on your production team skyrockets.

With so much at stake, it’s no wonder producers often feel rundown writing eats up too much of their time. And with the rise of daily live shows, sports broadcasts, and fast-turnaround entertainment, that time pressure only increases. That’s where Dramatify’s AI Rundowns can make a difference.

What the Tutorial Covers

In the tutorial, we walk through how to:

  • Protecting your intellectual property through MS Azure
  • Quickly set up projects so AI has the right creative foundation
  • Generate rundown outlines that give you a time-saving head start
  • Add cast and speakers for accurate script assignment
  • Create and refine scene and segment content in seconds
  • Automatically estimate and set durations for smoother timing

The Benefits for You and Your Team

AI Rundowns are more than a time-saver — they are a creative enabler. By letting AI handle repetitive, mechanical tasks, your team can focus on what really matters: building great shows. Here are some of the benefits media professionals will experience:

  • More creative energy: With structure and formatting handled by AI, writers and producers can focus on ideas, tone, and storytelling.
  • Faster turnaround: AI-generated outlines and content give you a head start, reducing the hours spent on first drafts.
  • Improved collaboration: Everyone on the team works from the same updated rundown, making handoffs smoother and miscommunication less likely.
  • Flexibility in live production: When things change last minute — and they always do — AI makes it easy to rework scripts and adjust timings without stress.
  • Room to experiment: Trying out different styles, tones, or formats becomes simple when AI can quickly generate alternatives for you.

Together, these benefits mean you can devote more energy to the creative direction of your programme and less to editing.

AI Rundowns — Your New Assistant

Every production is different, but the challenges are often the same: tight deadlines, constant changes, and the need for absolute precision. AI Rundowns are designed to slot directly into your existing workflow. Instead of replacing your team’s creativity, they enhance it.

Think of AI as your assistant who handles the heavy lifting — creating outlines, formatting scripts, and adjusting timing — so you can stay focused on the bigger picture. For broadcasters working on daily or weekly shows, this can mean the difference between feeling constantly behind and finally having space to think ahead.

Getting Started — No AI Experience Needed

Our tutorial walks you through every step so you can get started immediately. Even if you’ve never used AI tools before, Dramatify makes the process simple and secure. Because we run our AI services through Microsoft Azure, your data is private and never used to train external models. You can feel confident knowing that your creative work stays yours.

To make it even easier, Dramatify includes 100 free AI credits so you can test the features. You’ll always see your balance and the estimated cost of each request, making it easy to plan your usage. When you’re ready, you can top up credits at any time.
