"What tools do people use to make artificial intelligence videos? You may be curious what it takes to make AI videos now. In fact, there are many tools, but it is not easy to choose the right one.
Let's start with the hottest ones. First, cut and reflect AI functions. Many people use it to generate video scripts and change backgrounds with one click. After the recent update, it is also possible to directly generate Chinese videos, saving a lot of trouble. Second, Runway. This foreign tool is powerful and it is super easy to turn text into video. For example, if you write "Rainy Streets", it will be finished in a few minutes. Third, Pika Labs. Those who specialize in AI animation turn ordinary photos into dynamic pictures, and the effect is amazing. Recently, an Internet celebrity used it to make self-portraits into animations, which became popular for several days.
Why are these tools so popular? Because they make complex processes simpler. In the past, you had to learn editing, dubbing, and animation to make videos, but now AI is all inclusive. For example, cutting and screening can generate a complete video as long as you can type. Runway is a blessing for lazy people. You don't even need to write scripts, just enter keywords directly. Moreover, these tools are all being updated and their functions are getting stronger and stronger. For example, Pika Labs recently added a new feature that can adjust the expressions of characters in videos, which I didn't even dare to think about before.
But you can't blindly follow the trend when choosing tools. You have to figure out what you want first. Is it to make a video of bringing goods or share knowledge? For example, if you bring goods, you will have enough cutting and reflection, and it has ready-made templates. If you do creative animation, Pika Labs may be more suitable. Recently, a customer came to me to specialize in travel Vlogs and chose Runway because it has the most natural dynamic effect.
However, AI tools also have pitfalls. First, the effect is unstable. For example, cutting AI is sometimes very clean, and sometimes the edges are messy. Second, copyright issues. Many AI-generated materials cannot be used commercially, so pay attention. Third, learning costs. Although it is easy, it will take time to get started. The newbie I led only used the optical cutting and screening AI script function for three days.
New tools are still emerging. For example, I recently saw a guy named Kaiber who specializes in camera split animation, which is especially suitable for making movie videos. There is also Synthesia, which generates virtual anchors that look like real people. These tools may become popular all over the Internet in a few months. So the key is to master learning methods and not just pile up tools.
Be honest. Tools are just aids, but the key is creativity. I have seen people using several AI tools, but no one watched the video. Because the content is too mediocre. To make Short Video nowadays, you need to understand some psychology. For example, people must be caught for the first three seconds, there must be a reversal in the middle, and suspense at the end. None of these AI can help you.
If you are just starting to make AI videos, it is recommended to start by cutting and screening AI first. It is domestically produced, and its operating habits are most like domestic users. Make a few life records first and familiarize yourself with the process. When you become proficient, try a foreign tool like Runway again, and you will open your horizons a lot. Don't pursue excellence at the beginning. It is more important to lay a good foundation. "
