It's all natural to resist new things and new technologies. They are definitely out of the comfort zone. I was absolutely assured a year ago AI will peak and wind down, but as time pass my belief was shaken and now I realize the truth. Those who learn to use AI tools to their own advantage will at least be at positive zero if not move forward and those who don't will be left behind. Far behind.
Besides ChatGPT first one I'm exploring is Invideo text to video generator. No hype about the software here, only technical stuff.
I've made this video for testing purposes. It's one and a half minutes video titled Understanding ROI: Making Smart Purchases. It's a simple explainer for kids what Return on Investment is. Financial education is important even at that age.
Here is the final video I've published on my YT channel, take a look and I'll explain how it was done.
Ok, let's see how this is created step by step.
First thing is to use ChatGPT to make a script for Invideo. The prompt for ChatGPT was something like this:"Write a YouTube script for topic Understanding Return on Investment in simple words so kids can understand it".
Login to Invideo using Google account or other preferred method.
You should ignore generate video text prompt area in workspace and choose script to video plugin instead (see image below).
Script text from ChatGPT goes into text field. You can also choose what kind of video you need: YouTube, TikTok or Instagram video.
Next thing is to select among several parameters.
First you can describe what kind (if any) background music you need.
For narrator voice you have male and female options, about 20+ accents to choose from clear American voice, transatlantic voice, indian english voice and many others. Also you have 5 different speakers to choose from.
Next is an option if you want subtitle on or off with or without bold or popping effect.
There is also an option to use or not use iStock media and finally audio options if you want YouTube Audio Library only, Storyblocks audio or best audio available.
For shorter script under 1-2 minutes generating video takes about few minutes but time required depends on available render slots.
Video can be exported even in 1080p or 4k quality. I'm not sure if 4k is paid options or not but 1080 is 100% free.
When you download the final video you can edit it as you like. I'm using Canva for simple video editing, in this one I added my Hive url on top of watermark and nothing else.
As you can see combination of using ChatGPT and Invideo is simple but powerful way to generate content for YouTube or any other platform, according to ChatGPT and its own words:
"Using ChatGPT in combination with InVideo can significantly enhance your YouTube video production process. ChatGPT can help generate engaging scripts and content ideas tailored to your audience, ensuring your videos are informative and captivating. Meanwhile, InVideo allows you to seamlessly transform those scripts into visually appealing videos with professional templates and editing tools.
This synergy not only saves time but also boosts the quality of your content, increasing the potential for higher viewer engagement and monetization opportunities. By streamlining both the writing and production processes, you can focus more on growing your channel and maximizing profits."
True.
