"Can AI really help us make YouTube videos?
Many people are now looking for free artificial intelligence YouTube video production tools. This is normal. After all, who wouldn't want to make videos easy? But there are too many tools on the market. I really don't know which one is reliable.
Let's be clear. AI making videos is nothing new. Similar tools have been available a few years ago. Only now it's even more popular. Why? Because TikTok made Short Video popular. Everyone finds that short, plain and fast content is more popular. So they want to copy this model on YouTube.
I recently encountered a case. A friend made a test video using AI tools. The cost is almost zero. After uploading to YouTube. The numbers are good. Of course. The subject matter he chose was very popular. But the point is that he didn't spend much time.
What specific tool is it? I checked. There are several mainstream ones now. One is to generate video from pure text. You type in the script. AI automatically finds materials to match pictures. The other is a real person. AI helps you generate virtual anchors. Read after your script.
These two have their own advantages and disadvantages. Created purely by text. The advantage is speed. The disadvantage is that the picture may not be vivid enough. A real anchor type. The picture looks real. But you need to provide a detailed script. Otherwise, AI will be stuck reading.
I tried a tool called "Picture". It belongs to the first type. The free version generates a few minutes of video every day. The operation is very simple. You copy the article you have written. It will automatically split into small paragraphs. Then match the right picture and music.
How is the effect? Tell the truth. Average. The match between the picture and the text is not high. Sometimes the pictures and content don't match at all. But if you just want to quickly test a topic. Or make a video demonstration. That would be enough.
Let's talk about the second tool. For example,"Synthesia". It uses AI to generate virtual characters. You write the script. Choose an image. AI will help you read it. You can also adjust your tone and expression.
What scenarios is this tool suitable for? For example, making tutorial videos. Or what needs to be explained on the spot. Virtual anchors seem more credible than pure animations. But the disadvantage is that the free version has few options. And the generation speed is slow.
I recently saw a piece of news. Said YouTube is beginning to encourage creators to use AI tools. But there is one premise. It must be noted that the video was generated by AI. This is kind of interesting. This shows that the platform is also adapting to this trend.
So how should I choose? If you are new. Want to test the water at low cost. The kind that can be generated using pure text first. Like Picture or InVideo. They all have free trials.
Want to be more professional. Or you need a real person appearance. Tools like Synthesia are worth considering. But pay attention. AI-generated sounds and expressions. Sometimes it seems unnatural. Adjust it a few more times to get better.
There is one more detail to note. YouTube algorithms like to watch videos with high completion levels. If the video generated by AI is rough, the picture is rough. May affect recommendations. So it is recommended to spend more time optimizing. For example, manually replacing some materials. Or adjust the caption position.
In addition. AI tools are now being upgraded. Features that weren't working a few months ago. It may be improved now. So don't cling to a tool. Try different ones. Find out which is more suitable for your content type.
Be practical. AI is just an aid. It cannot completely replace labor. For example, topic selection planning. Content polishing. You still have to rely on yourself. No matter how good the tools are. The content is not good. The video is not popular either.
So my suggestion is. First test the topic with free tools. Wait until you feel it. Consider payment tools again. Or use a combination of different tools. For example, using AI to generate a first draft. Then manually optimize. The effect will be much better. "
