"Your video account may have been quietly taken over by AI.
Nowadays, there are one-click video generation tools everywhere on the Internet. They use AI to turn text into pictures and match it with sound. You just need to enter the title and keywords, and leave the rest to the program.
This tool has become particularly popular recently. For example, there is a software called Runway abroad that can generate video clips based on text descriptions. There are also many similar products in China, such as Tencent's Smart Shadow and Clipping AI special effects. They all make video production super easy.
Many people were excited at first. I feel that I don't have to learn editing anymore. Write anything and AI will make it for you. Indeed, early on these tools can have some effect. For example, generating landscape pictures and simple animations.
But soon the problem came. AI-generated videos are often blunt. The characters 'movements are unnatural and the scene changes abruptly. And everything made with AI looks very similar. Look at the popular videos on TikTok now, many of which are mass-produced by AI. They are repetitive in content and single in style.
The real problem goes beyond that. Now platforms are beginning to suppress such content. TikTok recently updated its rules. If your video is found to be generated in batches by AI, it may be directly restricted. Weibo and Douyin are also making similar adjustments.
So now smart people are starting to study new ways to play. They no longer rely entirely on AI. Instead, use AI as an assistant. For example, use AI to quickly generate a first draft and then manually adjust it yourself. This can not only improve efficiency, but also ensure quality.
How to do it specifically? Let me give you an example.
The first step is to use AI to generate video scripts. For example, enter "How to make breakfast" in the clip, and it will automatically generate a paragraph of text.
The second step is to let the AI prepare a first draft video. Some tools can find matching material based on scripts. For example, when it comes to "omelette", it will give you a picture of omelette.
The third step is to modify it yourself. Rearrange the materials found by AI and add some of your own transition effects. Add some real-life footage. In this way, AI and real-life content are combined.
This has several benefits. First of all, it is efficient. AI helps you complete most of the basic work. Secondly, the content is more authentic, and the part with real people participating can increase the sense of trust. You can also circumvent platform rules because you don't generate it entirely with AI.
Many studios are doing this now. They use AI to handle repetitive tasks, such as finding material and matching subtitles. But the key part is still done manually. For example, the real-life narration at the beginning and end of the video, or the parts that require interaction in the middle.
Another trick is to mix and match different tools. For example, use ChatGPT to write scripts, use clips to create pictures, and then use Coze to do Text To Speech. In this way, the best tools are used for every link, and the effect will be much better.
However, note that AI tools are updated too quickly now. This one works well today and may be replaced by a new version tomorrow. So don't stick to one method. Try different combinations.
Be practical. If you also want to try AI video production, you can start simple. For example, try to generate a 15-second Short Video using AI. See how it works. Then slowly increase the complexity.
AI is a tool, not a magic wand. It can help you improve your efficiency, but it cannot completely replace you. The accounts that can really go far are all man-machine combinations. "
