"Can your video account still be popular?
If you want to make Short Video well, it's really impossible to rely on AI now. Recently, many newbies have asked me how to use free tools to create videos. In fact, the method is quite simple. The key depends on whether you know how to use it.
Let's be honest first. Nine out of ten videos that are currently popular on TikTok use AI. It's not high-tech, it's just saving you time. For example, the intelligent image cutting can extract a portrait in a few minutes. There is also Runway Gen-2, which can generate dynamic video against images. These tools are now free.
But many people can't use it well. It wasn't that the tools weren't good, but that he didn't understand the basic logic of video production. AI can help you make material, but cannot help you make content. I have seen many accounts that use AI to generate videos every day, but as a result, the more the accounts become, the more they become, the more they become. Why? Because it's fake. The picture generated by AI looks unnatural. The audience can feel it.
A truly useful AI tool depends on whether you can use it. For example, if you take a product display, you can use Stable Diffusion to generate backgrounds for different scenes. Or use Pika to make static pictures dynamic effects. These tools are free, but they are wasted if they are not used well.
How to do it specifically? Think about your video theme first. For example, when selling clothes, you have to take pictures of models and try them on. You have to shoot these materials yourself. AI can help you make more materials. For example, if you put a try-on scene in different places, AI can generate it in a few minutes.
AI is a tool, not an idea. You have to have ideas first and then use tools to implement them. For example, if you want to take a product tutorial, write the script first. Then take the key steps. Let AI help you generate the remaining transition shots. This is fast and the effect is natural.
Many tools are now free. Runway's Gen-1 and Gen-2, for example, can generate 30-second videos for free. Stable Diffusion can generate images for free and then use Pika to convert them into videos. The key is combination use.
The specific steps are as follows: first take the main material, such as product display. Then use AI to generate backgrounds from different angles. Then combine the main material and background. Add some subtitles and music. It doesn't cost a penny the whole time.
Someone asked, will these tools charge? I can't see it now. AI companies now rely on free users to accumulate data. The more you use it, the richer the data they have. So now is the time to use it.
Of course, tools are just aids. You also need to know a little bit about editing. For example, the pace should be fast and the person should be caught in the first 3 seconds. The screen generated by AI can be placed in the middle for transition. At the beginning and end, you still have to use real footage. This way the audience will believe it.
Recently, I saw a piece of news saying that many popular videos on Douyin were all materials generated using AI. But the ones who are really popular are those with real footage. What does this mean? It means that AI can help you, but it cannot replace you.
So don't be superstitious about AI. It's an efficiency tool. You must know how to make videos first, and then consider how to use AI to speed up the speed. For example, if you take a tutorial, AI can help you generate versions of different scenes. In this way, publish to multiple platforms with one click.
Several specific tools are recommended. The smart image cutting is good and free. Runway's Gen-2 can generate dynamic videos, which is enough for free every day. Stable Diffusion generates pictures and then uses Pika to convert videos. It is very practical to combine.
Tools are just tools. You also need to know something about content production. For example, how to write scripts and how to shoot material. AI can help you with the post-stage, but cannot help you with the pre-stage. You still have to do the preliminary work yourself.
Nowadays, many novices get it backwards. Research tools every day, not content. As a result, the tool was learned, but no one watched the video. Why? Because the content is not good. AI can help you make pictures, but cannot help you make stories.
So first think about what your video is about. For example, when selling goods, you will judge the advantages of the product. Teach knowledge, and you take the steps. You have to take these yourself. AI can help you make some auxiliary materials. For example, when product display, AI is used to generate backgrounds for different scenes. This way the video looks richer.
The specific operation can be like this. Take good pictures of the main materials, such as product displays. Then use AI to generate backgrounds from different angles. Then combine the main material and background. Add some subtitles and music. It doesn't cost a penny the whole time.
