1. Ai text to video - Intro: Hi everyone. My
name is Greg Hong, a Canadian video creator. Welcome to AI text to video. In this class, you're
going to learn how to bring your ideas to life, whether it be a YouTube short or an explainer or a
documentary video. You don't have to be the person in front of the video camera. If you don't want
to be presenting or talking in front of camera, you don't have to know how
to be a video producer. You don't need to be a video
editor to create videos now because of the power
and the technology of AI. So in this course,
we're going to use a platform where you
can use your computer from a web browser or
your phone app to provide your idea And you can also use a phone app to provide a
video that you can customize, whether it's a 1 minute YouTube short or a five
minute YouTube explainer. You get to provide a
link or just a prompt. And this technology
will generate the video for you and you have the opportunity to customize it, and whether you want
to change the accent, you want to change the length, you want to even
change a chapter or a portion of the video. You can all do that
from the AI prompt, and you can
regenerate the video. So we're going to actually
go onto the computer. I'm going to walk you through
step by step of how you can create your own
AI text of videos. And then we're going
to get deeper into things like even
cloning your voice, if you want to be the voice behind your videos
that AI can clone, or you can actually
use different accents, whether it's a
British female accent or a North American
California accent. You get to choose and customize how your video is presented. Another creative use
is using stock videos. So Stock video is B role. It could be photos or
videos that are taken by other creators and
are provided by agencies like Stock
or Shutter stock. So this platform actually
makes use of stock videos to bring the most
appropriate video B role in your video when they're
creating this video. This is different
than technology like Open AI's upcoming SRA, where they're actually
going to generate videos from scratch
using your ideas. I just want to make clear this is not what this
course is about. But with this technology,
AI texted video, you can create very compelling
videos that you can use for education or on
your YouTube channel, like I have, and
I'm going to show you some samples that I've done. So if this sounds good, let's get started onto
the first lesson.
2. Ai text to video - Getting started : Okay, so we are going
to get started. Welcome to lesson one. We are using a platform
called InVideo AI. And you can try it off for free, and you got to be aware
that when you use the free version that it
may limit the resolution, it may introduce water
marking on your videos, but it gives you a chance
to sample the product. So I'm actually on the paid
subscription call Plus. We'll be going through
those in another lesson. But the first thing we want to do is we want to go to the menu, and we want to
select Create Video. It's on the top right, Create N. So the first thing you'll
see is a prompt at the top, and you have a drop down. Which allows you to
select the model in video AI version one or two? I'm going to select two because
it's got more languages, better voices, longer
prompts, and more. So we can actually start our
prompt by giving a topic, and then we can select,
generate video. So you can also do
this from the app. And so what I'm
going to do to start off is I'm I'm going to ask you to tell me a
detailed timeline of Camilla Harris on her rise to being the
presidential candidate. So I'm actually going
to type that in. Give me a timeline of Kamala Harris on her career and rise to
presidential nominee. Okay? And then I'm going
to select generate video. You can see you get 5,000
characters, but, you know, I never I don't think I've never used all 5,000 characters, so I'll keep it pretty
short and descriptive. You can even provide
Internet links. And it'll go through the links. I'll use that as a reference for some information.
Now, it's not perfect. But yeah, I just want to let you
know that you can do that. So I clicked Generate video, and it's going to take
us time to analyze it. And while it's doing this, it could take some
time, there is a option to get notified. But before that, you have
some choices to make here. So audience, general public, politician enthusiast, I'm going to select
general public. I'm going to select
clean platform, Instagramials, YouTube shorts. I'm going to select YouTube, and I'm going to
select continue. Okay, so now it's on a
screen where it says, it's waiting, it's analyzing
11% of the videos ready. So maybe you don't want to
wait here the entire time. And this is where you can
select notify when ready. And then we can come back. But what I like about this is it's telling me what
it's actually doing. So it's finding the
music and the voices. And Yeah, it tells you
what percentage it is. So you can decide if you want to go for coffee
and take a break. So that's what I'm
actually going to do. And when we come back,
we're going to go through and look what
it's created and some options for actually customizing the video
based on the first draft.
3. Ai text to video - Editing the first draft & regenerating: Okay. So it generated
the first draft. I took a look at it and I actually have some
changes I want to make. First, it used my
voice that it cloned. So I want to change the accents. I also wanted to
include some recent use on Kamala Harris' nomination. I've got a link here
that include Okay. So what we're going to do is there's a prompt
underneath the video. Give me a command to edit. So I'm going to say
change the voice to a North American female accent. At the end, in recent
news on this link on her race to presidential nomination, nomination. And then I'm going
to include the link, and then we're going
to select generate. So this is one of the most powerful parts I
think of this technology. So it'll create the
first draft and it is making assumptions, right? It doesn't if you
don't script out, like second by second. It's making a lot
of assumptions, the type of footage, the accent, what is actually going to be
including in the video. So you definitely want
to watch and review it and edit it and you
can regenerate it. And in addition to that, you can also go
through the script, and you can actually
word by word. You can change the words in the video and
have it regenerated. This is the editing process. I would say, this is the
meat of creating the video. It's very easy to
create the first draft from your phone
or your computer. But yeah, the editing process
is probably the most time consuming because you want
to validate the information, you want to customize it so you like it,
the right length, the right accent, the right information,
the right footage. And then once you're happy, the last step is to export it. And from there you have
different options, like which resolution, do you want to include
watermarks and so on? And we're going to cover
that in the last portion. Right now, we're just going
to wait for it to create the second draft and see if I'm happy with it. So
we'll come back then. Issues like criminal
justice reform and marriage equality head
on. The policies. But the big leap came in 2020. Joe by seventh, 2020
states on January 20, 22 inspiring future to the top. And in recent news, C Kamala Harris has officially launched her 2024 campaign, focusing on key issues
like health care, climate change, and
social justice. Don't forget to
like and subscribe for more inspiring stories. Until next time, stay curious. Okay. I don't like how it just kind of threw
that on the end. So I'm actually going to
ask it to edit it again. But I can do that offline. What I did want to do
right now is just show you where to edit the
script it the music. So here's the music part, and there's different songs in their music library.
Edit script. This is where you can
actually word by word, you can change the wording here. If you click plus, you can add a text element, do a speaker change, and you can actually use a prompt to generate
stock footage media. So there's a lot of
customization options here, and it can actually take up quite a bit of
time when it comes to the editing portion,
as I mentioned. I just want to quickly show you the portion of this lesson. Okay. Let me see how
I'm going to change it. I'm going to go change
the bulk of the video and includes her recent rise to presidential nominee and
the events that led to it, and how she stacks up
against Donald Trump. Generate. All right. We'll come back in a few minutes once it's
done regenerating.
4. Ai text to video - Getting read to download & export: Okay, so I've
regenerated the video. I've edited and regenerated
I made some content changes. I wanted to mention how
Joe Biden stepped down. I wanted to increase the volume of the speaker at the end. And I want to show you now how you can download an export. So We can click downloads. Now we have the option to select stock water marks
or no watermarks, so you need the premium paid
plan for no watermarks. The AI branding, you can
select subtle or none. Now you need the paid
version to select none. And then you select
the resolution, 48720 P, 1080 p4k. I would say ten eightP
is a good compromise. Four K is currently grade out. And then we'll tell you
the licensing cost. So I have 12 stock licenses. I have 47 stock licenses left, which resets in 23 days. And then I would
select continue. And then I have the option
to download the video, and from there, I can upload it, or what I recommend is
you can actually edit it further and do
things like trim it. You can put your YouTube intro. You could even put
your own B role if you're not happy with
what the platform gave you. So that in a nutshell is how
we can create text the video and hope you found this lesson helpful on how to actually
export and download the video. One thing I do want to note is that when
you're editing it, you do want to do that from a computer rather than the app, so you can use the phone to kick off the draft
with your prompt. But then when it comes
down to editing it, you want to use your
computer to do that. So that's how we can
download the AI video.
5. Ai text to video - Cloning your voice: Big portion of creating these AI text videos
is having the voice. The platform includes
a lot of options, different accents,
male and female, but you can also
clone your own voice. I'm going to show
you how to do that. On the platform, you
can select voices, and there's an
option to add voice. I've got one sample
that's for two days old, and I use an existing
video for that. You're going to
select add voice. You want a recording of
at least 30 seconds. And in the video,
you want to mention, I give Video AI the permission to use my
voice in this workspace. Pause in between sentences
like you normally would and use high quality
recording equipment. So you can use an audio file, video file up to
10 megabytes each. What I'm going to do is actually just quickly record
a sound bite, an audio file, and
then I'm going to upload it for the
purpose of this. To 10 megabytes. That file won't work.
Let's do this one. Okay. Looks like
this one look good. This is my voice. I
have rights to it. This voice sample provides for. Yes. Ice natural pauses,
high quality equipment. All right. So this is my
second AI voice profile. Let's hear this. Let's
change the name. Greg, Voice. Okay. Let's actually just create a new video might be easier. Create a video on
broadcom stock price and potential partnership All right, I'm going to select
YouTube explainer. 3 minutes here. And just
include a link here. And then this is where
I can select my voice, Greg's voice to.
Continue. All right. Els fast, YouTube
clean investors. He, everyone. Greg, here, today, let's dive into an
exciting development in the tech world that could have significant implications
for investors. We're talking about Broadcom's
potential partnership with Open AI. So on July 18, Bloomberg reported that
Broadcom is in discussions with Open AI about developing
specialized chips. This new sent Broadcom's
stock price soaring, and for good reason, Broadcom, as many of you know,
is a global leader in semiconductors and
infrastructure software solutions. Wow, that is amazing. That is amazing. It
did a great job, and that is scary, good. Ope enjoyed the tutorial
on how to clone your voice using
this platform and to use it in a video
generated by AI. This is the future. Hope
you enjoyed this lesson.
6. Subscription plans: Hello, everyone.
So in this lesson, we're going to go through
the subscription plan, the administrative details of
the AI and video platform. And the great thing
is that you can start off on a free plan, which is how I got started, but then I wanted to
take it to another level and create some AI videos
on my YouTube channel. So that's why you'll see I've
got the video AI plus plan. So let's just take a look at
the subscription plans here. So monthly, you can
do the free plan. Great way to try. You get 10 minutes a week
of AI generation. The stock is a key
part of this platform because it's doing the research and it's creating the
voice over for you. But you need that stock footage
to help tell the story. So just keep in mind
on the free version. You don't get access to Stock, but you do get access
to export these videos, and you can actually use them, and you can put Bro on them, and I've actually done that. So you get four exports
a week with their logo. And you get media
from Shutterstock, story blocks, Pixel
Pixels and Pixel base. So you do get access
to some media, just not the y stock, which is what their premium
library is, I believe. So the next step up,
which is what I'm doing, is $25 a month. So you can scale up here. You can see if I
scale the slider, my minutes are going up, as well as my storage and
users and voice clones. So just keep that in mind. The base levels $25 US a month. And this is the plus plan. This is what I'm
using. So you get 50 minutes a month
of AI generation. So great for just creating
those videos on the fly for trending topics that you don't have time or
energy to create. And you get access to stock. So they're promising. It's hard to read
because it's cut off, but if you put your
mouse over there, royalty free stock y media worth 1,000 plus per month, Okay. And you get 100
gigabytes of storage, which is pretty decent, unlimited exports,
two voice clones. So on the course, we went over how to create a voice clone, and I have two right now, and you can have up to one user. So if you want more users, you can just scale up here. Now in the MAX plan,
$60 US a month, and it's just a bit more
of everything, right? More minutes of AI generation. It's double, you get double
the ice stock storage, double the space, et
cetera. You get the idea. You can also do the yearly
plan, the annual plan, and you save a bit more on that. And it works out
to $20 US a month, but you pay upfront, 240 US. Okay. So one more thing I want to show you
is the usage area. So this is how you can keep track of the videos
that you've created, the credits you've
used, and the stock. So premium generation, I can generate I've used 29 minutes and I got
21 more minutes. Stock footage. I've used 33 storage, 7.46. So in July, I've created quite a lot of
videos as you can see, and I still have some minutes and footage and
storage that I can leverage. So plus plan works
out for me right now. If you do have more
than one member, you can view it over here. And then one more thing I'll show you is the
influencer plan. If you want to sign up for that, you can, if you
have a following, and you can refer people to your different
following areas and you get $15 US for every pay plan, which is pretty good. So there you have it.
We've just covered the administrative
aspect of in Video AI.
7. Ai text to video - Summary: All right. So that's
the end of this course. I hope you got an idea of what the technology
can do today in 2024. It can take your idea, I can generate a video with
a voiceover or cloned voice. And you have a lot
of options during the editing phase to customize not only the
music, but the stock, the total direction
of the video, and you've got an export
that you can use for your YouTube channel or for whatever purpose you're
looking to create a video. So this is really
cool technology, and I expect that it
will continue to evolve. I think the AI models
will get smarter. I think the ability to actually create video with an
idea will be there. It's not there yet because
companies like OPN EI, which are on the cutting edge are going to be
introducing that with SRA. And I think at the onset, they're only going
to be introducing shorter time lengths
like 1 minute. But I can see how text of video is going to
continue to evolve. So hope this gives you a start where you can
actually go ahead and start creating your own
videos using the help of AI models with prompts and the customization options
that it gives you. So hope you enjoyed the course and we'll see
you in the next one.
