"Your video is being watched by the machine.
Now making TikTok, who wouldn't want to make some realistic AI videos? But you may not know that many creators have stepped into the trap recently. They are either too fake or so stuck that someone turns them off. In fact, the problem is not the technology, but the details.
Let's talk about tools first. AI video generators on the market today, such as Runway, Pika, and Kaiber, each have their own strengths. Runway is suitable for quick film release, Pika can give a movie feel when trained well, and Kaiber specializes in dynamic film splitting. But don't rush to get started, you need to know what style your video wants first. For example, if you sell goods, you need to have a stable picture; if you do plots, you can try split animation.
Talk about scripts again. AI doesn't recognize your product, it only recognizes instructions. So when you write a script, you have to break it down into steps. For example, if you shoot coffee making, don't write "show the whole process of coffee making." It should read: "close-up coffee bean grind." "Mid-shot, hand-brewed coffee." "Close-up drawing flowers." Only in this way can the AI understand what to shoot at each step.
Then there are keywords. Many people use the word "realistic", but AI cannot understand it. It only recognizes specific descriptions. For example,"corner of a coffee shop with soft light" is much better than a "cozy coffee shop". Recent research said that adding words such as "realistic style" and "cinematic lighting" will lead to a much higher release rate.
There is also frame rate. TikTok is now popular with 30 frames, but when AI is generated, the higher the frame rate, the more obvious the stuck. Therefore, it is recommended to use 15 frames to make a draft first, and then manually adjust to 30 frames. A Singapore team recently found that this "dimension reduction operation" can save half the time.
It's iteration. The first version of AI videos will definitely not work. But don't deny it all, pick the ones that work. For example, the characters have stiff expressions, but the background is okay. Then dig out the background and create it again with a different character. Nowadays, many studios are using the "patchwork method", and the effect is much better than building it from scratch.
Now you try it. Choose a tool, write a three-step script, add three keywords, and generate a 15-frame clip. Then see which ones can be kept and which ones need to be changed. AI is just an assistant, not a director. The more you understand its rules, the more it will listen to you. "
