Make YouTube videos

AI tools are currently a huge help in creating videos for social media in general, and YouTube in particular. Let’s discuss how to use these AI tools to produce videos for social media platforms.

posting a quick list of tools i use ngl

would be curious what @Invictus has on that list, no reason to keep it secret lol

my workflow for shorts/reels is pretty simple these days. script first, i just dump the topic into a chat model and get like 5 hooks, pick the least cringe one. then for voice i use elevenlabs but honestly the free tts on some of these tools is getting good enough for faceless stuff. visuals depend on the niche... for talking head style i mostly use heygen or just runway/pika for b-roll if its a listicle type video.

one thing nobody mentions is the editing part still eats most of your time. capcut has an auto captions thing thats decent and opus clip is ok for chopping long form into shorts but it misses context a lot, you end up fixing timestamps manually anyway.

the trap imo is thinking you can go fully automated and just print videos. the fully ai channels get flat pretty fast, algo seems to sniff it out. i get better retention when i at least rewrite the script in my own voice and swap the generic stock feel with something specific.

whats everyone using for thumbnails btw, thats the part i still cant automate well

Most of today's leading AI tools are capable of creating AI-generated videos. The key to success isn't the tool itself, it's coming up with engaging ideas and choosing topics that capture and hold viewers' attention.

AI tools can definitely save a lot of time especially for scripting, voiceovers and basic editing.
I think they work best when you combine them with your own ideas instead of relying on AI for everything.
