Today, we're going to look at how you can turn text into video using an iPhone app called invideo
AI. Here, let me type in a sample prompt and let's see what the AI comes back with. Hey there cookie
lovers. Exciting news from the Kevin Cookie Company. We're spreading our sweetness far and
wide with a whopping 100 new retail stores. That's right, 100 new locations to satisfy your cookie
cravings. From chocolate chip to oatmeal raisin, your favorite treats are closer than ever. So, get
ready to indulge in the deliciousness. The Kevin Cookie Company, making life a little sweeter,
one cookie at a time. Keep in mind that was all generated by AI. It pulled together the script. It
found all of the relevant stock footage. It even added a human sounding voiceover onto the entire
video. It's basically ready to publish, but of course, I can also go in and make some additional
tweaks. I could change the script. I could add my own footage. I have full control. I partnered
with invideo to show you how you can use this step-by-step. And best of all, it's completely
free. Let's check out how you can do this. To get started, head to the App Store and then search
for invideo AI. Then click on the install button. You can also click on the link down below in the
description and that will also bring you directly to the invideo app within the App Store. If you
don't have an iPhone, you can also use this on the web. And for that, you can also click on a link
down below in the description. Once you finish installing the app and also signing in, you'll
land at the main interface right here. Right up at the top, we have the option to create an AI video
and that's exactly what I would like to do today. So here I'll click on this option. This now drops
us on a page where we can describe to the AI what type of video we would like. And the more specific
you can be, the better. Think about it this way. If someone asked you to pull together a video,
you'd probably have a bunch of questions about what the video should be on, what the voice should
sound like. So, the AI needs the same level of detail. Writing a good prompt takes some work,
and if you would like some assistance, down below, you can also click on one of these. Let's say,
for example, you're pulling together a YouTube explainer. Here, I'll click on this option.
This will guide you through writing a good prompt. For example, at the very top here,
you could define the duration of the video. You can also describe the video. Down below, you can
indicate the gender of the voiceover, whether you want subtitles, what type of stock footage
you could use. So here you could go through this and you'll get a very solid prompt. In my case,
I already have a very good prompt in mind. So up on top, I'll click on cancel. And right here,
I'll type in my prompt. I've now entered in my prompt, and just to give you some ideas for
writing a good prompt, first off, I provided some context. So, I run a cookie company called the
Kevin Cookie Company. And we're launching 100 new retail stores and I want a promotional video for
YouTube. So right here, I called out the platform that this video is going on. You could also call
out, say, TikTok or Instagram or whatever the platform happens to be. Right here, I defined how
long I want this video to be. So, I want it to be relatively short at only 30 seconds. Next, I also
called out the type of background music that I would like in my video. I want it to be bright and
also uplifting. Then you could also clarify to the AI what type of voiceover you want. I want young,
energetic sounding female voice. That tends to work really well for a cookie company. And lastly,
I also want the language to be simple and also easy to understand. It's a cookie company. We
don't have to be complicated. With this, try your best to be as descriptive as possible,
but keep in mind that it doesn't have to be perfect. This is a starting point. You can
always go back and you can make tweaks and also modifications to get your video to look exactly
how you want it to look. And if worse comes to worst, you can always go back and you can
regenerate the video. I'm pretty happy with this prompt right now, so down below, I'll click on
generate a video. On the next screen, it wants me to confirm some information from my prompt. First,
it wants to know the audience and it correctly identified that it's for foodies. This video
is all about cookies and foodies is the exact audience that I'm trying to target. Down below,
I can also define the look and feel. Currently it sets to bright, but I like the idea of an
inspiring video. So, I'll click on this option right here. And it also correctly identified
the platform being YouTube. That's exactly right. Down at the very bottom, I'll click
on continue. Now I just have to wait a moment and it's generating my video. I'm really excited to
see what it comes up with. And look at that. The AI has now generated my video and I could see it
right up above. Over here, I can click on this icon to preview it. Let's have a quick listen.
Hey there cookie lovers. Exciting news from the Kevin Cookie Company. We’re
spreading our sweetness far and wide with a whooping 100 new retail stores.
I think that really sounds good. Now, if for whatever reason you're unhappy with this video,
but you think your prompt was good, you can always have the AI try to regenerate your video. Down
in the bottom left-hand corner, you can click on this icon and the AI will take a second attempt.
Overall, I think this video turned out great, but there are a few tweaks and also refinements that
I would like to make. And ideally, I would like the AI to help me with this. And the good news is,
you can continue working with the AI to get the video to look exactly how you want it to look.
Basically, think of the AI as your video editor and you're giving them feedback and suggestions
based on their first draft. Right here, it says, give me a command to edit the video. If we click
on that, here we'll see some examples of the types of prompts you could tell the AI. For example,
delete the second scene or make this half as long or change the current stock to a video
drone shot as just a few examples. Now, right up on top, I think it'd be really nice to include
subtitles in this video. A lot of people on YouTube turn the volume off and they'll
completely miss the talk track. So here, I'll say add subtitles. Now that I typed in my text,
I'll click on this go icon. And look at that, the AI has now added subtitles to my video.
Let's have a quick look. That's right. 100 new locations to satisfy your cookie cravings. Ooh,
that is on point. That is so good. Now over here, if for whatever reason I change my mind here,
I could undo those changes, but I like having the subtitles on the video, so I'll stick with
them. There are a few more tweaks that I would like to make. Here, if I go back in the video,
you’ll notice that there was one stock image here of I think what was called the Detroit
Cookie Company. And we don't want to promote a competitor. So, I want to make some manual tweaks
to this video. Right over here, let's click on this edit button. On the edit screen at the very
top, I can see all the different scenes that are featured in my video. And here's that one scene
with the Detroit Cookie Company. They obviously don't have as good cookies as what we have here
at the Kevin Cookie Company. With this scene selected, I can click on this dropdown and I
can also see the associated text for this scene. Here, if I click on another scene,
you'll see the text highlights for that scene. I'll click back onto the one for the Detroit
Cookie Company. Here, the text is we're spreading our sweetness far and wide with. Okay, so I want a
replacement image or video that represents that text. Here, I'll minimize the text. Down below,
I can replace it with footage from my phone. Maybe I have a photo or maybe I have a video. I could
click on upload and then I can navigate to where I have that. Here, I'll click out of that. I can
also look for stock footage. I'll click on this option right here and down below, I can search
for footage. So let me try maybe a neighborhood drone shot. I think that would fit that text well.
Now that I typed in my text, let's try searching to see what it comes up with. And look at this.
These are some really nice videos. Here, I have all these different options of neighborhoods.
I like this one. This looks like a really wholesome and nice neighborhood. I’ll select
this one right here. And once I select that, I can preview it, but I think this looks good,
so down in the bottom right-hand corner, I'll click on replace and that has now replaced the
original footage with my new footage. If for whatever reason I change my mind here,
I could click on this X and that'll revert back to the original footage that I had. But I think
this new footage looks a lot better. So down in the bottom right-hand corner,
I'll click on apply. Right up above, it has now incorporated the new footage into my video.
That looks so much better. Now at the very end of the video, I would like to include
a call to action. I want to direct people to the kevincookicompany.com. I need to make a
modification or a tweak to the script. To do that, let's once again click on the edit icon. Back on
the edit screen, up at the very top, I can edit the media and that's what we did previously. But I
also have the option to manually edit the script. I'll click on this option right here and I can see
the entire script for this video. Now I mentioned at the very end right here, I want to include
a call to action where I direct viewers to our website. So over here, let me add some additional
text. That's perfect. That'll hopefully get a lot of people to go to our website to research the new
locations that we're opening. I think this looks really good and I'm satisfied with this script.
Down at the very bottom, I'll click on apply. The AI is now incorporating that new text into
a scene. Let's see how it turns out. And it looks like the AI is now all done incorporating those
script changes. Right up above, let's preview to see how it turned out. Little sweeter,
one cookie at a time. To find out more, visit us at the kevincookicompany.com. I like that.
It looks like it incorporated the script change into the voiceover, also the subtitles,
and it included some new stock footage on top. All in all, that looks really good. I think I'm all
done now. So right over here, I have the option to export my video. Let's click on that. This drops
us on the export screen. With a free account, you can export your video, but it'll include a
watermark and also in-video AI branding, which may be fine. But if you want to remove those,
you can go premium for $20 per month. And if you use coupon code KEVINSTRATVERT, you'll get
an extra 50 AI minutes in the first month. I'm satisfied with all these settings here, so down
at the very bottom, I'll click on export. It's now all done rendering my video. And over here,
I can now share this video with others, or I could download it directly to my phone and then I could
upload it to YouTube or other social platforms. Look at that. This makes video editing so easy.
It helps you with the script. It helps you with finding stock footage. It does the voiceover.
It's kind of just ridiculous how easy it makes it. Now, one of the cool things is, although we edited
the video on the phone, you could also access all of the same projects directly on the web,
so you could work on whichever device you happen to prefer. To watch more videos like this one,
please consider subscribing and I hope to see you in the next video.
