"Only a few people know the secrets in the video.
Want to use AI to make popular videos? Don't rush to get started yet. Many people make things complicated as soon as they come up, but they don't do it well. In fact, if it is simpler, the effect will be better. For example, there are some AI software on TikTok that specifically helps people edit and can also automatically allocate subtitles. You just need to throw in the material and it will generate a first-edition video. Save time and effort, but the key is not expensive.
But knowing how to use tools is not enough. You need to know where AI's shortcomings are. It is good at repetitive tasks, such as cutting the same videos. But if you want to be creative, such as shooting a reverse plot, AI can't do it. At this time, you have to do it yourself or find someone to cooperate. AI can help you handle the basic process, but the core ideas still depend on people.
How to do it specifically? Start with imitation. Find a few popular videos and disassemble their structure. For example, how to attract people in the first 3 seconds, how to leave suspense in the middle, and how to guide interaction at the end. Write down these routines and apply them to your own videos. AI can help you quickly generate similar effects, such as using specific music or fixing transitions.
Let's talk about the material. AI can help you search for pictures and automatically generate simple pictures. But if you shoot a real person, you have to find your own venue and prepare props. None of these AI can help. So the division of labor should be clear, AI is responsible for mechanical work, you are responsible for creative work. The combination of the two is the most efficient.
One more thing to note is that AI-generated videos are easy to follow the same pattern. Audiences get tired of watching too much. So I have to do something new every now and then. For example, suddenly change the style, or add an unexpected joke. AI cannot do these details, you have to think about it yourself.
A final reminder, don't treat AI as a panacea. It is just a tool. When used well, it is an assistant; when not used well, it is a burden. Spending more time studying platform rules is better than just heap technology. For example, TikTok likes fast pace, so you let AI speed up editing. If you like the portrait screen, you adjust the scale of the picture. These details are much more important than fancy special effects.
