Unless you happen to be a severe luddite (and if so, this post won’t really be of any value to you), you’ve likely heard of the AI buzz sweeping across the planet. Although much of the love surrounding AI has tended to be related to the realm of large language models (LLMs), in actuality, it extends to almost all forms of digital creation, including video. Here, we are going to take a brief look at how AI video production is (and in some cases already has become) such a game-changer.
You Now Have Access To A Myriad Of Cost-Effective Solutions For High-Quality Content
It used to be that if you wanted access to some kind of high-tech wizardry, you had to spend an inordinate amount of money putting these sorts of things well out of the reach of all but the most enthusiastic amateur or the pros willing to put in the cash. Nowadays, you have access to loads of affordable AI video editing tools that vary in function and ability but that are all available to all and sundry. In many ways, it’s this affordability that has made it the “game-changer” that we all appreciate it to be, as it has opened up entirely new avenues for the average Joe to develop and create incredible videos that promote a business, sell a product or simply to craft home movies that have a particular polish that would otherwise be tricky to produce using conventional techniques.
Automated Editing Saves Valuable Time
In some ways, the video creation procedure involves a large number of tasks that vary in enjoyability. For instance, it can be great filing the project and really fun coming up with a storyboard, but when it comes to the nuts and bolts of editing, it can become pretty mundane pretty fast. This is not always the case, but by opting to allow AI to take up most of the editing heavy lifting, you can free up time to ensure a highly polished final product that speaks to your target audience in the exact way you have imagined it to in your head. It can do this in numerous ways, including:
- Automatic scene detection and cutting
- Smart footage selection
- Automated audio editing to ensure better quality
- Motion tracking and object removal (which are both relatively complex and time-consuming tasks even for those well-versed)
- Style and color grading
Accessible Tools For Non-Experts
In most cases, you can usually find better results by learning and completing most of the editing tasks yourself using dedicated video editing software such as Adobe Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve et al. However, while you can often get production-tier results this way, these programs are so complicated to learn and understand that they can quickly become prohibitive to the average person. This is where AI tools come into their own by enabling an amateur editor to achieve incredible results without needing to enroll in a school just to learn the ins and outs of how to use them.
AI has its place in the world, and we are increasingly seeing just where it comes into play. With regards to video, it can help you in a plethora of ways, from helping to come up with fresh ideas to honing your footage into something that appears to have been made by a professional.
