A self-paced, tool-neutral course for marketers, designers, trainers and communications teams who make or commission images and short videos. You follow one fictional brand studio through one eight-week campaign, from a post that had to come down to a clean release day, and you make the same decisions in a browser simulation in every module. Imagine answering “are we allowed to publish this?” with a record, not a shrug. About 11 hours over 56 days.
Bodhih Generative AI for Visual and Video Content is a self-paced online course for people who make or commission images and short videos at work. Eight 75-minute modules follow one fictional brand studio through one campaign and cover the creative brief, describing an image, editing and consistency, brand review, video planning, voice and captions, rights and disclosure, and a production pipeline. It is tool-neutral. Each module has an animated video and a browser simulation, and learners earn a Bodhih credential with an Open Badge.

From noise to picture. The animated concept video from Module 1 (What the tools do, and the creative brief), narrated by a synthetic voice, with captions.
You typed a prompt, got something close, and pressed generate again and again to fix one detail. Each try fixed one thing and broke another. More tries are not a method. Knowing whether to regenerate, repair one region or replace it with a real photograph is.
A good picture and an on-brand picture are different things. Without a style sheet, a reference set you own and criteria agreed before the review, a team can only say “love it” or “feels off”, and the next batch is no better. Video is harder still: clips drift, objects change and nothing cuts together.
Somebody asks, and nobody in the room is sure. Whose work is in it? Could that face be taken for a real person? Does it need a label? Every person on the team uses a different tool in a different way, and there is no record of how anything was made.
For people who need campaign visuals and short videos that are on brand, on time and safe to publish, across platforms that each have their own disclosure rules.
For people who guard the craft and repair what the tools get wrong. The review, rights and pipeline modules give you a process you can defend to a client or a legal team.
For people who build explainer visuals and teaching videos. Module 5 covers keeping words and pictures together, and Module 6 covers captions, narration and audio description.
For people who sign work off and answer for what goes out. Picture a review where every verdict names a line on the checklist, and every asset carries a record of how it was made.
This course is not for you if you want a film school, button-by-button training in one application, or a course in building or fine-tuning models: it teaches workplace judgement across tools, it is not legal advice, and it generates no images or video inside the course.
Four statements, each from a regulator, a platform or a builder’s own page, opened at the original on 14 November 2026. They are reported at principle level and are not legal advice; laws differ by country and change.
The European Commission’s page states that the EU AI Act’s transparency duties for synthetic content apply from 2 August 2026: tool makers must mark outputs in a machine-readable way, and organisations that publish a deep fake must disclose it.
European Commission, “Code of Practice on Transparency of AI-generated Content” (policy page), Read on 14 November 2026The US Copyright Office concluded that purely AI-generated material is not protected by copyright in the United States, and that writing a prompt, on its own, does not make you the author of the output. What the people did, and the record of it, matters.
United States Copyright Office, “Copyright and Artificial Intelligence, Part 2: Copyrightability”, 29 January 2025; read on 14 November 2026A large video platform’s own policy requires creators to disclose realistic altered or synthetic content, and says that repeated failure to disclose can lead to penalties.
YouTube Help, “Disclosing use of GenAI content”, Read on 14 November 2026One major builder’s own documentation records that the video service it describes was shut down on 24 September 2026. A skill tied to one tool can go when the tool goes, which is a reason to learn the craft and not one product.
OpenAI API documentation, video generation guide (kept for reference), Read on 14 November 2026The course follows the order of real work. Each module ends with an apply-at-work task on something of your own, so by the last one you hold a brief, a style sheet, a storyboard and a one-page pipeline. Notice how the questions you ask change between the baseline and the final assessment. We teach judgement that outlasts any one tool, and we do not promise results.
Write a one-page creative brief, and decide what to generate, what to mix with real material and what not to generate at all.
Describe a picture by subject, composition, light and style, and list what to leave out, without leaning on any living artist’s name.
Choose between regenerating, repairing a region and replacing with real material, and keep a product or character the same across a set.
Judge generated visuals against a style sheet and stated criteria, including who is shown across a set and whether words on images can be read.
Storyboard a short video as single-action shots, decide which shots to film for real, and add voice, corrected captions and description with recorded consent.
Put every asset through four questions on other people’s work, likeness, disclosure and protection, and run a pipeline that checks the exported file and logs how it was made.
The pathway runs in order: a baseline assessment, then eight modules (what the tools do, and the creative brief; describing an image; iterating and editing; staying on brand; generative video; voice, music, avatars, captions and accessibility; rights and responsibility; a production pipeline), then a final assessment. Every module has a diagnostic, a chapter of the story, an animated video, three skill lessons, a worked example, a Scenario Sim, an apply-at-work task and a knowledge check.
Measured before you start and again on the same instrument at the end, so the change is recorded rather than claimed.
The baseline assessment, Form A: 20 scenario questions on all eight competencies, about 25 minutes. It is not pass/fail; it sets your baseline, and you take the parallel form at the end.
What image and video generators really do, the weak spots to check, and the one-page brief written before anyone generates. Scenario Sim: Before the button. Animated video: From noise to picture.
Describe a picture as a photographer would, with five dials, and change one dial at a time. Scenario Sim: Sixty tries, two keepers. Animated video: Five dials of a picture.
Choose between regenerating, repairing a region and replacing with the real photograph, and keep one product the same across a set. Scenario Sim: Five colours, one bottle. Animated video: Change one thing.
Turn a brand guide into a style sheet and an owned reference set, and run a review with criteria first. Scenario Sim: The brand review. Animated video: The brand fence.
Plan a short film as shot cards with one action each, work within clip limits, and decide which shots to film for real. Scenario Sim: Thirty seconds, eight shots. Animated video: Thirty seconds is eight shots.
Choose voice, music and presenters with recorded consent, correct the captions, and write narration that carries the picture. Scenario Sim: Whose voice is this? Animated video: Sound off, eyes closed.
Put every asset through four questions on other people's work, likeness, disclosure and protection, and know when to ask counsel. Scenario Sim: Two concepts on the table. Animated video: Four questions before you publish.
Run work through seven stations with sign-off, a final check, an AI-use record and a check of the exported file. Scenario Sim: Release day. Animated video: Seven stations.
The final assessment, loaded from Form B: 20 parallel scenario questions, about 25 minutes. Score 70% or more (3 attempts) for the credential, together with all eight modules.
Finishing this pathway issues a credential backed by the evidence you produced along the way. It is verifiable by link and is also issued as an Open Badge 2.0, so an employer can check it without taking your word for it.
Module 2 teaches five dials: subject, composition, light, style and what to leave out, changed one at a time with a log. The sim Sixty tries, two keepers gives you a limited number of generations to spend.
Module 3 covers variations, repairing a masked region, editing by instruction and placing the real product photograph, practised in Five colours, one bottle.
Module 4 turns a brand guide into a one-page style sheet and a reference set you own, and runs a review with criteria first. It never teaches copying a living artist’s style.
Module 5 plans a 30-second film as eight shot cards, one action each, and shows when to film a shot for real. The sim starts after a first pass with three usable shots.
Module 6 covers consent for any real voice, corrected captions and narration that carries the picture, using the W3C’s accessibility guidance, in Whose voice is this?
Module 7 reports what named regulators and platforms have published, with the date each was read, and Module 8 covers Content Credentials, labels per channel and the AI-use record.
What comes with the course, and what the practice is like.
Before the button; Sixty tries, two keepers; Five colours, one bottle; The brand review; Thirty seconds, eight shots; Whose voice is this?; Two concepts on the table; and Release day. In each you make the content lead’s decisions and see what follows. They are browser simulations: nothing is generated.
One per module, about 75 seconds each, from From noise to picture to Seven stations. They are animated and narrated by a synthetic voice, with captions and a transcript.
A one-page job aid in every module, and checked links to universities, standards bodies, regulators and builders’ own documentation. They are links to those sources’ own material, not partnerships or endorsements.

Ask about team seats| What is compared | A typical AI image or video course | Generative AI for Visual and Video Content at Bodhih |
|---|---|---|
| Tools | Built around one vendor’s products, or a tour of several named tools that dates quickly. | Tool-neutral: the decisions that stay the same whichever tool your organisation allows. |
| Practice | Tool walk-throughs and quizzes. | A Scenario Sim in every module where you make the call under time and quality pressure. They are simulations, not live tools. |
| Rights and consent | A short note to check each tool’s commercial terms. | A full module on other people’s work, likeness and voice, disclosure and provenance, built on regulators’ own texts. Not legal advice. |
| Video, sound and access | Often images only, with captions and accessibility left out. | Video planned shot by shot, consent for voices, corrected captions and audio description. |
| Evidence | Capability claims that go out of date. | Sources opened at the original and dated; teaching models are labelled as models; checks are taught, not capability lists. |
| Honest limit | A tool maker’s course gives hands-on time inside its own product, and a film course goes deeper into film craft. | You generate nothing inside the course, and it is not a film school. Hands-on work happens in your own approved tools, in the apply-at-work tasks. |

Straight answers on time, price, tools and the credential. If yours is not here, ask us and you will have a reply the same working day.
People who make or commission images and short videos at work: marketers, designers, trainers, communications and social teams, and the leads who approve their work. No design degree or coding is needed. It suits a beginner who has typed a few prompts and an experienced designer who wants a process that can be defended.
None by name. The course is tool-neutral. It teaches the decisions that are the same whichever image, video or voice tool your organisation allows, so the skills carry over when tools change. The Go deeper links point to several builders’ own documentation if you want tool detail.
No. The labs are browser simulations of workplace decisions. You do not generate images or video inside the course, and nothing you type is sent to an AI tool. The apply-at-work tasks ask you to use the tools your own organisation has approved.
Nobody on camera. Each module has one animated concept video of about 75 seconds, narrated by a synthetic voice, with captions and a transcript. We say so because the course teaches you to disclose synthetic media plainly.
No. You earn a Bodhih credential, issued as an Open Badge 2.0 with a verify page, when you complete all eight modules and pass the final assessment at 70% (you have three attempts). It is Bodhih’s own credential. It is not accredited by an outside body, and it is not a university qualification.
About 11 hours: eight modules of 75 minutes, a baseline assessment and a final assessment. It is self-paced. We suggest one module a week, 56 days in all, to match the eight weeks of the story, but you may go faster.
The course is $99 for an individual, and $79 per seat for companies. Until 10 January 2027 the price shown on this page is a launch price, about half the regular price. After that date the regular price applies.
No. The course never teaches imitating a living artist’s style, or creating a real person’s face, body or voice without that person’s informed, recorded consent. It teaches what to do instead: describe the qualities you want, build a reference set you own, commission the artist, or use a voice whose owner has agreed.
No. Module 7 reports what named regulators, standards bodies and platforms have published, with the date we read each source, and shows you which questions to take to your own legal adviser. Laws differ by country and change, and completing the course does not make an organisation compliant with any law.
Yes. Module 6 covers captions, audio description and narration that carries the picture, and Module 4 covers readable text on images, using the W3C’s Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. The checks taught are quick screens, not a formal conformance audit.
Three kinds are common. A tool maker’s own course gives hands-on time in its products. A multi-tool tour on a large course platform covers many named tools, usually by monthly subscription; one such subscription showed $59 a month when we checked on 15 November 2026. A specialist AI filmmaking course goes deep into film craft and can cost several hundred dollars; one showed $749. This course is for workplace teams: tool-neutral, with brand review, accessibility, rights, disclosure and a pipeline. Our buyer’s guide lists the courses we checked, with links.
The course is $99 for an individual, or $79 per seat for companies, with four Pro Kits included. The launch price ends on 10 January 2027. You can start today with the baseline assessment and Module 1. For a team, write to solutions@bodhih.com or call +91 99000 11601.
