"The videos you shoot are always stuck?
Nowadays, using AI to make videos can really save a lot of trouble. In the past, manual editing couldn't be done even after a long time. Now with AI tools, it can be done in a few minutes. For example, using Midjourney to generate pictures and then using Runway to convert them into videos is much faster. Recently, I have seen a lot of news saying that these tools are getting smarter and smarter. For example, Adobe's new generative editing function can directly change the screen in Pr. There is also an intelligent image cutting method for cutting and screening. It used to take a long time, but now it takes only a few seconds.
However, choosing a tool depends on your needs. If you want to make a quick release, try Runway's Gen-2. It turns pictures into videos, and the effect is quite natural. I tried taking a photo of a sports car and creating a short video of speeding on the road. If you want to make a drama movie, you can try Pika. It is very convenient to add subtitles and tune the rhythm. A friend of mine uses Pika and adds dynamic subtitles to the travel Vlog. The audience said it was comfortable to watch.
But AI tools also have shortcomings. For example, pictures are easy to repeat, or movements are inconsistent. I have seen people use AI to animate, and the character keeps repeating the same action. There are also things that are generated that are sometimes strange. For example, asking AI to draw a science fiction scene will turn out to be all wrong. So you have to try it before using it. See if the effect it generates meets your requirements.
When using AI to make videos, you must also pay attention to copyright issues. Some tools generate material that may involve copyright. For example, using AI to draw a landscape, if it is too similar to a certain photo, it may infringe rights. Recently, there have been reports that someone used AI to generate music and was accused of plagiarism. So it's best to choose tools that are clearly stated to be commercially available. For example, Canva's AI design indicates that the generated pictures can be commercially available.
In fact, AI is just an aid. It saves you time, but you have to come up with the ideas yourself. I have seen many novices who rely entirely on AI, and the results are the same. For example, use the same template and change a few pictures to post them as new videos. The audience can see it at a glance. So the key is what you think. AI can help you realize ideas, but it cannot replace ideas.
Nowadays, AI tools are updated quickly, and you have to learn new things often. For example, Stable Diffusion used to be used, but now many new models have been released. I read several tutorials every week to learn about the latest features. For example, there is recently a tool that can directly generate text into 3D animations. It used to take a few hours to do it with Maya, but now it takes a few minutes. So don't be afraid of the trouble and try new tools more often.
When making Short Video, rhythm is important. AI can help you adjust the rhythm. For example, smart films cut and screened will automatically match the music rhythm. I tried using it to cut dance videos, and it was very accurate. There is also Runway's speed-changing function, which can turn ordinary videos into fast-paced block-spots. In the past, manual adjustment had to be tried dozens of times. Now AI can do it with one click.
But AI is not omnipotent. Some details have to be adjusted by themselves. For example, AI-generated images, sometimes the character's expression is not very natural. I have seen a blogger who used AI to make a commentary video, and the protagonist kept staring. Later, he manually adjusted a few key frames to look natural. So AI can help you base your foundation, but refinement still depends on your hands.
Give me some practical advice. Don't be greedy at first, choose a tool and practice it. For example, try the AI function of clipping first. It is enough and free. When you are familiar with it, try a more professional tool. For example, Runway or Pika, which are more functional. Also watch how others use it. For example, there are many AI video tutorials on site B, which can learn many skills.
AI is the trend when making videos nowadays. But don't use it as a shortcut. Using AI well can help you improve your efficiency. But if you want to make good content, you still have to rely on your own creativity and efforts. So don't be afraid to learn new things, try more, and you will always find a method that suits you. "
