"Can you generate your videos yourself?
If you want to use artificial intelligence video generation and production tools to make Short Video, you must first understand what it is. To put it bluntly, this thing allows you to create videos without having to take the material yourself. For example, if you write a script, it automatically adds pictures and subtitles to complete a complete video in a few minutes.
Such tools are very popular online nowadays. When you swipe TikTok, many popular videos may have AI hidden behind them. A while ago, I helped customers operate accounts and found that many of my peers were using this kind of software. They told me that in the past, taking a video took a long time for the team, but now one person can make ten videos a day with an AI tool.
How to use such tools? Let's start with the simplest text-to-video method. You throw the copy in, and it will find matching material from the Internet and automatically edit it into a dynamic picture. For example, if you write "Summer Beach Surfing", it may find wave videos and add surfboard animations.
There is also a category of template application. The platform prepares various style templates in advance. You fill in the text, and AI automatically generates videos. For example, a travel blogger selects the "City Walk" template, fills in the city name, and immediately posts a city scenery video. Recently, there is a tool called "Runway" that is particularly popular. It can generate video based on the sketches you draw, and the effect is quite realistic.
But don't think it's all good. I have tested more than a dozen AI video tools and found that there is a common problem-the pictures are too fake. In videos generated by many tools, the characters 'movements are always a little stiff, just like robots perform them. For example, when a person speaks, his mouth opens and closes incorrectly, and he watches a special drama.
There are also copyright traps. When AI is looking for material, it may directly use copyrighted pictures. Last year, a blogger used AI to make videos, but was sued for infringement by the material party. So when using tools, be sure to choose a platform that clearly states that the material is commercially available. For example, some domestic tools come with a genuine material library, so you can feel safe to use it.
The key to truly playing AI video lies in man-machine cooperation. I suggest setting the style first. For example, if you make food videos, always use warm colors. Then test different tools to see which works best in a specific scenario. For example, when doing product reviews, you can try a tool that can automatically add subtitles.
Recently discovered a new way to play. There is an AI called "Pika" that can generate video based on the mirror diagram you draw. I tried to draw a few steps to disassemble the mobile phone, and it actually generated a smooth disassembly animation. This type of tool is particularly suitable for making tutorial videos, which is much easier than taking real people.
However, pay attention to detailed adjustments. After the AI is generated, it is best to cut it again yourself. For example, if the character's expression is wrong, adjust it manually; if the background music does not match, change it to a more appropriate one. I have a client, after using AI to generate video, specially hired an editor to optimize, the playback volume directly doubled.
AI video tools are updated especially fast now. For example, last year's text-to-video trend was popular, and this year there has been a voice-to-video_you read the manuscript into the microphone, AI automatically matches the matching characters. If this kind of technology became popular, he might not even need to appear in person in the future.
Be honest. Who are these tools suitable for? Newbie bloggers and small teams are especially suitable. For example, if you operate an account alone, you can easily maintain the update frequency with AI. But use big V carefully, so fans can tell the smell of machines at a glance. I have seen several million-fan bloggers who lost a lot of fans after using AI.
If you really want to try it, it's recommended to start with simple tools. For example, the AI function that comes with "Clipping" can automatically cut images and add special effects. When you are familiar with it, try the professional tool "Runway" again. AI just helps you save trouble, not to make you completely lazy.
Nowadays, there are various fees for such tools. Some charge by duration, and some subscribe by month. I did some calculations and found that it took a few hundred minutes a month, which was almost enough for daily operations. So don't be greedy for more, choose on demand.
A reminder. No matter how strong AI video is, it cannot replace real interaction. I have observed that fans prefer to watch videos of bloggers appearing in real life. Therefore, it is recommended to use AI as an aid, such as using it as the opening and ending, and then making a real appearance in the middle. This is both efficient and warm. "
