"I want to make a hit video, but I don't know how to start?
Nowadays, when making Short videos, many people want to use AI. But AI is not a magic wand. It can produce good videos with one wave. You have to understand its rules to make it obey.
Let's talk about tools first. There are various AI video software on the market, such as Runway, Pika, Clipping AI, etc. These tools can all turn text into video. But they have different functions. Some are suitable for animation and some are suitable for real people. Only by choosing the right tool can you get twice the result with half the effort.
Then comes the content. AI can only help you turn ideas into pictures, but you have to have them yourself. For example, if you want to make a funny video, you have to write a script first. The script must be simple and direct for AI to understand. Don't write too complicated, AI cannot understand human words.
Then there are the operating steps. The first step is to write a script. For example,"Get up in the morning and find that the bed has turned into SpongeBob." The second step is to choose a tool. Try using cutting AI. The third step is to enter the script. AI generates video clips. The fourth step is to adjust the details. For example, changing characters and changing backgrounds. The fifth step is to export the video.
But videos generated by AI are often blunt. For example, the characters 'movements are unnatural and the background is unrealistic. You have to repair it manually at this time. Use software such as clipping and PR to smooth the picture. AI is an assistant, not everything.
Recently, there was news that a certain Internet celebrity used AI to make videos and gained millions of fans a month. But on closer inspection, he spends two hours revising the details in each video. AI generates rough pieces, and decoration has to be done by yourself.
There is another trick. AI is good at splitting mirrors. For example, you write "The protagonist walks into the forest and meets a monster." AI can generate two pictures. But how to transition in the middle, you have to add it yourself. For example, add a transition effect to make the video smooth.
Also, don't rely entirely on AI. There are some content AI cannot do. For example, AI cannot capture the real expression when a real person is on camera. At this time, real people have to fight. AI is suitable for doing auxiliary parts such as animation and special effects.
Many people now use Coze Workflows. Connect AI-generated videos with account operations. For example, use AI to write scripts, then use AI to generate videos, and use Coze to send them to TikTok. This saves time, but the effect may not be good.
The key is balance. AI can help you improve your efficiency, but you have to control the creativity and details yourself. For example, what music to choose and what subtitles to add, AI will not understand your target audience.
Reminder. AI tools are updated quickly. One is popular today, but it may be replaced by another tomorrow. Don't stick to a piece of software. Try more and find the combination that suits you best. For example, AI generation + manual retouching, or AI dubbing + real appearance.
In short, it is not difficult for AI to generate videos, but to do it well, you must understand tools, content, and retouching pictures. Start with a simple script and try it step by step. Don't be afraid of failure, you'll get started after practicing a few more times. "
