"Whether your video can explode or not, you don't actually have to shoot it yourself.
Many people now can do it with AI. For example, there is a workflow called coze, which can automatically generate scripts, find materials, and dub. I recently heard that someone used this tool to create more than a dozen hits in a month.
You may ask, isn't this just AI OEM? It's actually simpler. Many platforms now offer free trials. For example, some domestic AI video tools can use basic functions by registering. There are similar services abroad, such as Runway's Gen-2. Although it is not completely free, it is enough to try it a few times.
The key is how to use these tools. Let's talk about script first. You don't have to write it yourself, just give the idea to the AI. For example,"take a funny video of fishing in the office", AI can generate dialogue and scene suggestions. But don't believe it all. Sometimes the lines it writes are too fake and you have to change them yourself.
Then there is the material. AI can help you find pictures and video clips. For example, with Pika, you can generate animations by entering keywords. Or use Canva's AI to directly search for "office" and "coffee cups", and it will recommend a bunch of materials. Don't use too common material, it's easy to crash.
Dubbing is also simple. Many tools nowadays can change voice, such as ElevenLabs, which can imitate real people speaking. Find a sound template you like, import the script into it, and you will have the finished product in a few minutes. However, note that some tools have general support for Chinese and may not be pronunciation correctly.
Editing is the key. Use CapCut's AI function to upload footage directly, and it will automatically match the rhythm. Or try Opus Clip, which specifically optimizes Short videos. The key is not to rely too much on automatic editing, which may cut out important parts.
Some people are worried about copyright issues. In fact, most of the materials generated by free tools can be used by individuals. But if it's commercial, you have to read the terms clearly. For example, some AI-generated pictures cannot be sold.
There is another tip. Many tools now support multiple languages. For example, if you use AI to generate Chinese scripts, and then use dubbing tools to convert them to English, one video becomes two. Multi-lingual content on TikTok is now popular and can reach more users.
But don't rely solely on AI. For example, the AI does not know the style of your account, and the generated video may be very generic. So you have to do a few real-life episodes first, establish a style, and then let AI imitate it.
A phenomenon was recently discovered. Many people use AI to make videos, but the real thing is the addition of real people. For example, AI generates the background and takes a camera shot yourself. This combination has both efficiency and temperature.
If you don't understand editing at all, start with AI tools. For example, Runway's Magic Video can be used to create special effects by dragging and dropping. Or use Pictory to directly paste the script and automatically generate the video. These tools are suitable for beginners without having to learn complex operations.
Reminder. AI tools are now updated quickly, and those that are free today may be charged tomorrow. So try it more while it is now. For example, Canva's AI functions are now partially free, but may be charged in the future.
In short, it is not impossible for free AI to make videos. The key is to find the right tool for you and then try and change it more often. Nowadays, there are many popular models on TikTok, and behind them are a combination of AI + artificial. "
