Instead of manually taking notes during research, use an LLM with a large context window (like Gemini) to process long video transcripts. This creates a searchable, summarized chat from hours of content, allowing you to quickly pull key points and unique perspectives for your own writing.

While solo creators can wear all hats, scaling professional AI video production requires specialization. The most effective agencies use dedicated writers, directors, and a distinct role of "AI cinematographer" to focus on generating and refining the visual assets based on the director's treatment.

To create a robust content engine with limited time, co-founder Moe Reid batches content creation. He films many videos at once, then uses AI tools like ChatGPT to transform the video captions into newsletters and social media posts. This scales content production while ensuring the output retains his authentic voice.

Create a hands-off content pipeline by combining two AI tools. Use ChatGPT with specific prompts to generate fully-fleshed-out video scripts. Then, instead of filming them yourself, paste those scripts directly into InVideo.ai to have the final video product generated automatically.

Successful AI video production doesn't jump from text to video. The optimal process involves scripting, using ChatGPT for a shot list, generating still images for each shot with tools like Rev, animating those images with models like VEO3, and finally, editing them together.

Instead of random prompting, break down any desired photo into its fundamental components like shot type, lighting, camera, and lens. Controlling these variables gives you precise, repeatable results and makes iteration faster, as you know exactly which element to adjust.

Instead of using generic stock footage, Roberto Nickson uses AI image and video tools like FreePik (Nano Banana) and Kling. This allows him to create perfectly contextual B-roll that is more visually compelling and directly relevant to his narrative, a practice he considers superior to stock libraries.

Avoid the "slot machine" approach of direct text-to-video. Instead, use image generation tools that offer multiple variations for each prompt. This allows you to conversationally refine scenes, select the best camera angles, and build out a shot sequence before moving to the animation phase.

Leverage AI as an idea generator rather than a final execution tool. By prompting for multiple "vastly different" options—like hover effects—you can review a range of possibilities, select a promising direction, and then iterate, effectively using AI to explore your own taste.
