"Have you ever tried using AI to explain a video, but you can't listen to it?
Short Video commentary tools are becoming more and more popular, and many people use AI to generate videos with one click. But here's the problem-AI commentary is either like a robot reading a manuscript, or it is full of "deep empowerment", which makes people feel numb. In fact, what you want is a quick and natural explanation, right?
Let's start with how to choose tools. Most of the mainstream AI commentary tools on the market today support automatic dubbing of uploaded copytext. For example, a popular tool in China can adjust the tone according to the emotions of the text, and even imitate real people speaking. But don't just look at the publicity, the actual use is very different.
Try its "character customization" feature. For example, let AI imitate your voice, or choose a male voice with "strong affinity". I have tried several tools, some of which can accurately grasp the tone, and some always read the news like an announcer. The key depends on whether it can recognize sentences and stresses.
Let's talk about copywriting again. No matter how smart AI is, it cannot read the "advanced words" you write. For example, if you write "This product deeply empowers users", AI may directly read it as "This product deeply empowers users", and the audience will be confused. Better to just say,"This product has helped a lot." Only short sentences and colloquialism can AI understand easily.
Rhythm is also important. Short Video commentary should be 1-2 sentences per second. If the AI defaults to speaking too fast, remember to slow it down. I have seen someone use tools to generate videos. As a result, AI is like a competition for wheat, and the audience simply cannot grasp the key point.
Recently, I saw a piece of news. A test on a certain platform found that accounts that use AI to explain but manually adjust the accent later have a completion rate of 40% higher than those with pure AI. What does this mean? Tools are just aids, you have to optimize them. For example, pause before key information, or use text effects to emphasize key points.
Another trick is to use "segmented recording". For example, AI is used at the beginning, a real person is added in the middle, and AI is summarized at the end. This saves time and does not feel like a machine throughout the process. I have a friend who does this, and his account has become popular quickly.
Reminder, don't be superstitious about "one-click generation". Tools can help you get started, but what really retains the audience is the content. For example,"reverse" commentary is now popular, where a question is thrown at the beginning, clues are buried in the middle, and the end is revealed. AI can't do this kind of routine, you have to design it manually.
The next time you use an AI tool, try these steps: write a simple copy first, choose a natural voice, slow down the speed, and manually add a few highlights. You will find that videos are not that difficult to make. "
