"Why did this video suddenly stop?
Recently, many people have been asking how to use AI to edit movie clips. Indeed, there are now a dazzling array of tools. For example, Runway and Pika can turn movie materials into their own videos. But it's easy for novices to step in when they get started.
Let's start with the most critical thing. When you choose movie clips, you have to choose ones with loose copyright. Otherwise, it will be a big loss if the account is deleted if it is posted. Recently, YouTube blocked a number of accounts using pirated material. So when looking for materials, give priority to those that are marked as commercially available.
How to choose tools? Look at the needs. If you want to produce tablets quickly, Runway's Gen-2 is easy to use. It directly converts text into video and can also adjust style. However, it is important to note that it is best to choose high-definition movie clips, otherwise it will become blurred after AI processing.
Pika is more suitable for creative mixed cutting. It stretches the picture and adds special effects. But there is a bit of a barrier to getting started. I suggest starting with simple functions. For example, slow down the clip and add some text. This effect is enough.
There is also an unpopular technique. Cut the movie segments into several paragraphs and process them separately using AI. For example, the first paragraph adds a rainy day effect, and the second paragraph turns black and white. This way the video has layers. Recently, many bloggers in Southeast Asia are using this method to gain popularity.
Pay attention to details. Film materials with subtitles must be cleared when processing with AI. Otherwise, two sets of words will appear on the screen. I have seen UP people who were criticized for being unprofessional for this.
Rhythm is important. Film clips have a fixed rhythm. When AI accelerates or slows down, listen to the effect. Too fast is like fast-forward, too slow and procrastinate. Generally, 1.5 times speed is relatively safe.
Be honest. No matter how powerful AI tools are, you must know how to use them. Try different combinations. For example, Runway generates pictures and then uses CapCut to color. Only then will the video come out naturally.
There is a new trend in the industry recently. People began to use AI to renovate old movies. For example, coloring black and white films and adding modern music. This kind of video is very popular on TikTok. You can try it, too.
Anyway, don't be afraid of trial and error. AI tools are updated quickly, and methods learned today may become outdated tomorrow. But the principles are the same. Watch what others do and try it yourself. You will soon find the right path for you. "
