Introduction
Revenue-generating short-form videos, SNS ads, short films - all with just AI, no equipment, actors, or voice actors needed
No equipment, no studio, no actors, no voice actors!
Complete guide to AI video production & editing for non-professionals to become creators
This book covers the process of utilizing 7 major generative AI tools in all stages of video production, from scenario writing to creating cut videos and background music and editing. It covers ChatGPT and Claude for scenario and script writing, Midjourney for images, Runway Gen-3 for videos, Suno and ElevenLabs for sound production, and CapCut for video editing. Following this journey, people unfamiliar with video production can learn all processes of completing a video, and those unfamiliar with AI will learn the knack of writing prompts for generative AI and understand AI's role.
Now anyone can easily showcase their content to the world and monetize it. Professionals in video production can lay the foundation for dramatically shortening existing video filming and production processes and innovatively improving quality.
Anyone can work like a pro, completing a video from zero base
AI technology has tremendously advanced in the past 1-2 years. Not only text but also voice and video-related generative AIs are emerging one after another. Aren't you curious about how to create videos using these tools?
When generative AI first appeared, concerns and pessimistic opinions were sharply divided. But recently, the situation has changed a lot. Actually, AI-made films were screened at the Bucheon International Film Festival, and the 2024 AI International Film Festival is scheduled to be held in Dubai.
It's no exaggeration to say that AI tools have opened a new era in video production. Let's explore what technologies exist and what we can do with them through this book.
Book Content
The book explains the process of efficiently creating videos using AI tools from scenario writing, image generation, video, sound, to editing.
Video production using AI can find simple examples on YouTube, but it's difficult to grasp the overall process from planning to scenario and editing. This book shows the overall technology and process needed when creating videos using AI technologies.
The book's content is not simply for video editing only. For example, the image generation content in Part 3 was particularly useful to me. When writing blog posts, I generate and use images with AI, so there were many good tips for prompt writing and image generation.
Technology Update Status of Tools
The book introduces the latest features at publication time, enabling knowledge updates.
It covers methods like editing specific parts of images with ChatGPT Canvas, or Midjourney leaving Discord to provide its own web service - content that could be missed without paying close attention. All content is explained in detail with screenshots.
Prompt Engineering Tips by Tool
There are many very important tips for practical work, such as prompt generation methods that work better in specific versions and camera terminology.
Professional terms needed for music generation AI, video generation, scenario writing, etc. are difficult to appropriately utilize in prompts unless you're a current professional. This book organizes these terms well, greatly helping with prompt engineering.
Various AI Tools
Besides the main tools, the book briefly introduces various alternatives, helping choose tools appropriate for situations.
Actual Expert Interviews
Actual professionals share experiences and tips from incorporating generative AI into their practical work. For some videos, you can use QR codes to open video links and watch directly.
Review
In recent years, as the third AI era has arrived, many new technologies have been introduced to video editing as well.
Personally, I've been editing and uploading videos to my YouTube channel for several years to record daily memories. I get background music from sites like Artlist, buy templates, and study editing in my spare time. While there are such traditional editing methods, nowadays you can create videos more conveniently using AI technology.
While AI-utilized content is heavily exposed in YouTube Shorts and videos, it was difficult to know exactly what technology is used. Through this book, I was able to learn in detail about work processes and tools actually used in practice. I was able to receive detailed introductions to AI tools that help create creative content with generative AI assistance, propose ideas systematically like data analysts, and edit videos like professionals.
Conclusion
Even though this book was published not long ago, Gemini Image Gen has already come out in an advanced version, and OpenAI has also released Q* (Q-Star), which is one step closer to AGI. Particularly in planning and scenario generation using LLMs, significant development is expected.
AI technologies and tools are rapidly evolving and increasing. If you're interested in this book, I recommend reading it without delay.
