In the world of content creation, AI tools are becoming increasingly popular.

But are you using AI in your video creation process to genuinely streamline your workflow, or just because it’s trendy?

In this TEA Talk episode we explore three practical AI tools that can make a real difference in your video production process.

The practical side of AI in video creation

While we’ve previously discussed the creative, fun and often mind-blowing aspects of AI, in this TEA talk we delve into the practical side – the tools that we use everyday in our video creation process.

These tools aren’t just for show; they’re designed to save time, increase efficiency, and ultimately help you produce more content.

1.AutoPod – automated video editing

What it does: AutoPod is an AI tool that automates the process of cutting between multiple camera angles in long-form content.

How it works:
– It analyses audio peaks to determine who’s speaking.
– Automatically switches between camera angles based on who’s talking.
– Works with standardised multi-camera setups (e.g., podcasts, interviews).

Time-saving potential: What used to take up to 30 minutes of manual editing can now be done in about 30 seconds.

Availability:
– Currently available for Adobe Premiere Pro
– A version for DaVinci Resolve (called SnapPod) is in development

Pro tip: Always review the AI’s work, but in our experience, it’s highly accurate.

2. Opus Clip – social media content generator

What it does: Opus Clip analyses your long-form video content and creates engaging snippets for social media.

Features:
– Identifies the most engaging parts of your video
– Cuts content into appropriate lengths for different social platforms
– Adjusts aspect ratios automatically
– Adds subtitles
– Can even provide stock footage or AI-generated visuals

How to use it:
1. Upload your full-length video
2. Set parameters (desired length, video type, etc.)
3. Let the AI generate multiple cutdowns (up to 10)
4. Review and make minor adjustments as needed

Pro tip: While it’s a great time-saver, always check the output. It may struggle with videos that require full-screen visibility when converting from landscape to portrait.

3. Claude AI – content writing assistant

What it does: Claude AI helps create written content based on your video transcripts.

How it’s better than ChatGPT:
– More nuanced writing capabilities
– Less prone to dramatic or exaggerated content

How we use it:
1. Feed the video transcript into Claude AI
2. Ask it to generate a blog post
3. Review and refine the output (we follow the 80/20 rule – AI does 80% of the work, we polish the final 20%)

Benefits:
– Quickly transforms video content into written form
– Maintains the structure and key points from the video
– Allows for easy repurposing of content across multiple platforms

The power of AI in content creation

By leveraging these AI tools, we’re able to significantly increase our content output. From a single 20-minute video, we can create:

– A full blog post
– Website content
– YouTube descriptions and transcripts
– Multiple social media clips and trailers

The key is to use AI as a starting point and then add your own expertise and brand voice to refine the output.

Conclusion

AI tools like AutoPod, Opus Clip, and Claude AI are revolutionising the content creation and editing process.

They save time, increase efficiency, and allow creators to focus on what they do best – creating engaging content.

Remember, the goal isn’t to replace human creativity, but to enhance it. Always review and refine your AI-generated content to ensure it meets your standards and resonates with your audience.
