Instead of relying on unreliable and risky web-based video converters, Roberto Nickson uses a dedicated desktop app called 'Downy.' This tool allows him to quickly and safely download B-roll content from any platform (YouTube, Twitter, Instagram), drastically speeding up his media gathering workflow.
Gemini 3 can intelligently segment long-form video by identifying ideal clips for specific platforms and purposes, like a "spicy take for LinkedIn." It provides exact start/end times, dramatically accelerating the social media content creation workflow for repurposing content.
To increase video pace and maintain viewer attention, Roberto Nickson cuts out even tiny pauses between lines. He achieves this by slightly overlapping the audio and video of consecutive clips, creating a punchier, seamless flow that respects the audience's time.
Instead of generic AI videos, InVideo.ai allows creators to upload a short clip of their voice for cloning. This, combined with personal B-roll footage, produces highly authentic, on-brand video content automatically, making AI-generated videos almost indistinguishable from self-produced ones.
Despite building a $100,000+ studio, top creator Roberto Nickson insists high-end gear isn't required for success. He argues that videos shot on an iPhone, especially with Apple Log, can perform just as well and achieve a professional look. His investment is a personal passion, not a prerequisite for quality.
Nickson streamlines his video creation by scripting in Apple Notes, using a teleprompter app (Promptor Pro), and recording audio via OBS separately from his camera. This insulated process, built on muscle memory, protects against data corruption and allows for rapid production from idea to deployment.
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.
Instead of needing a formal podcast, creators can use a simple Instagram Live session as raw material. Even with low viewership, the live video can be saved and uploaded to Opus Clip, which then automatically extracts dozens of short, engaging reels from the long-form content.
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.
Integrate external media tools, like an Unsplash MCP for Claude, into your data generation prompts. This programmatically fetches real, high-quality images for your prototypes, eliminating the manual work of finding photos and avoiding the broken links or irrelevant images that LLMs often hallucinate.
Maximize the ROI of video content with a specific three-tool workflow. Use Opus Pro to auto-generate social clips. Use Get Recall to pull a clean transcript. Then, feed that transcript into Claude to write multiple, targeted articles based on different themes from the video.
