"ChatGPT can generate videos with one click? Be careful of being deceived.
Nowadays, there are advertisements for AI video tools everywhere on the Internet, saying that videos can be generated by entering text with one click. But the truth is that most tools simply cannot do this. Either the effect is too bad, or you need to manually adjust a bunch of details.
Let's start with ChatGPT itself. It is a powerful language model that can write articles and compose dialogues. But video production involves pictures, sounds, and editing, which it is not good at all. Most of the so-called "ChatGPT video tools" on the market use its text generation capabilities and combine them with other technologies. For example, you ask it to write a script and then hand it to another tool to generate the picture.
Really reliable AI video tools, such as Runway and Pika Labs, are directly optimized for Media Processing Service. ChatGPT only provides scripts, and the rest depends on professional tools. So don't be deceived by "one-click generation", the operations behind it are very complicated.
Nowadays, many people use AI to make Short videos. For example, on TikTok, some people use Midjourney to generate pictures and then use clips to match subtitles. This is much more reliable than using ChatGPT directly. Because Midjourney specializes in image generation, the effect is better than letting ChatGPT make do.
Let's talk about efficiency. AI tools do save time, but they do not completely replace labor. For example, if you ask AI to generate a travel video, it may give you a bunch of material, but the logic is confusing and the rhythm is wrong. At this time, you have to manually adjust the order and mix the music. If you rely entirely on AI, it is likely that no one will see what comes out.
There is also a misunderstanding that AI can automatically write blockbuster scripts. Actually, I can't. The text generated by AI may be smooth, but it lacks creativity and emotion. The scripts of popular videos often need to be combined with hot spots and user psychology, which is difficult to grasp. For example, AI cannot imitate the recent "anti-routine" videos popular on TikTok.
So what is the use of ChatGPT in video production? Mainly assistance. For example, you use it to generate video ideas or write script outlines. But when it comes to the specific picture and editing, professional tools are still needed. Some teams use ChatGPT to brainstorm and then use Clips or CapCut to make it, which is the most efficient.
There was a recent case where a Southeast Asian team used ChatGPT to write product evaluation scripts, then used AI tools to generate screens and manually optimize them. This is quick and saves money. But if you rely entirely on AI, such as using a tool called "one-click generation", the results may not be satisfactory.
So don't be superstitious about "AI is omnipotent". Tools are just aids, and the core is creativity and skills. Nowadays, many novices directly use AI to generate videos, but find that the effect is not working, which is a waste of money and time. It's better to spend some time learning basic editing or find a reliable template to apply.
Let me remind you again that many AI video tools now charge a lot of money. Some platforms charge hundreds of yuan a month, but the actual effect may not be as good as free tools. For example, cutting and Premiere both have AI functions and are free. So before buying a tool, try the free version first and don't be fooled by the publicity.
Talk about the future. AI video tools are definitely getting stronger and stronger, but it is still difficult to completely replace manual labor in the short term. For example, emotional expression and cultural details, these AI cannot handle for the time being. So now when learning video production, AI is a helper, not a substitute.
Nowadays, many people who make TikTok accounts use AI to make content. But the really popular videos are repeatedly polished by the team behind them. For example, how to change the script and how to adjust the screen, these AI cannot give answers. So don't think about lying down entirely on AI, you still have to do it yourself.
To sum up, ChatGPT can assist in video production, but don't expect it to be generated with one click. The truly efficient method is to use AI to do basic work and then use professional tools to optimize it. This is faster and better, and much more reliable than relying entirely on AI. "
