"Your video could be simpler.
There are indeed many free AI tools online that can help you make videos. For example, Canva's MagicDesign can automatically generate templates and screens as long as you enter a few keywords. There is also Picture, which specializes in converting text into Short Video, which is especially suitable for commentary content. Pika Labs, which has become popular recently, is even more powerful. It directly turns your description into animations, even with special effects.
How to choose these tools? It depends on what style you make. If you want to make fast-paced information videos, Picture is the fastest. If you want to do some creative animation, Pika Labs is more suitable. Canva is suitable for beginners because it is simple to operate and can be changed at any time.
Many people worry that the videos made by these tools have no soul. Indeed, the pictures generated by AI can sometimes be a bit stiff. But you can add something yourself, such as finding some real photos to mix in, or using your mobile phone to take a few real shots. This way, what AI does will not be too fake.
AI just helps you lay the foundation. What really makes the video outstanding is your own creativity. For example, use AI to generate a background and add some interesting narration yourself. Or let AI come up with several plans, and you choose one and process it yourself.
Nowadays, many Internet celebrities are using this combination of punches. First use AI to quickly produce a first draft, and then polish the details yourself. This saves time and has good results. For example, the travel blogger who has been very popular recently uses Canva as the basic picture and adds real shots himself.
In fact, the biggest benefit of AI tools is to break the creative bottleneck. In the past, when I had no inspiration, I could only stare. Now enter a few words and AI will give you a bunch of references. You just need to pick what you like and add some ingredients yourself.
However, note that some platforms have restrictions on AI-generated videos. For example, TikTok stipulates that if something is made using AI, it must be marked in the video. So it's best to check the rules before using it.
From now on, you can try using AI to make a first draft. For example, find a few keywords and let AI generate pictures. Then adjust the order yourself and add some transition effects. This is fast and not easy for the platform to determine pure AI generation.
Just a word of warning, AI tools are updated quickly. It works well today and may be normal tomorrow. So don't rely too much on a particular tool, try different ones more and find the combination that works best for you. "
