Hey I’m Dylan John and I’m going to try and make this video as brief as
possible because I know your time is valuable.
So the first AI tool is called Altered Studio. I don’t know about you, but I sometimes don’t like
how my voice sounds. Specifically if I’m trying to record some type of narration or voiceover. Well
check this out. Here’s what my audio recording sounded like before. And here’s what it sounds
like when I use the morph feature. It not only cleans up the audio a bit, but it transforms my
voice into Morgan, a 40 to 50 year old dude with a way better beard than me. God I wish I could be
Morgan. You can select tons of different voices and adjust different parameters. Some voices are
better than others. There’s also a denoiser and a voice cleaner but one of the other tools in this
video seems to be better at that function than Altered Studio. So the main reason I’d use this
is for the morph feature. Altered Studio offers a pretty solid free plan if you want to try it out.
The next AI tool is called LeiaPix Converter. This is an AI tool that creates a parallax effect for
any photos you want to use in your videos. This would be incredibly useful for documentaries,
maybe music videos, among other video genres. You can adjust the animation length, the animation
style, and you can also use their depth map tool to adjust what parts of your picture are
included in the motion. Best of all, this AI tool is free of charge at the time of this recording.
Just a heads up. It doesn’t work on a Chrome Browser for some reason. Safari works though.
AI tool number 3 is called Adobe Podcast. Adobe put out a quality tool here. And
before you click forward because you assume it’s going to be a subscription,
it’s not. This is a free tool you can use to clean up your voice audio immensely. This is
an iPhone audio recording of me speaking with lots of noise in the background and holding my
phone out pretty much as far as I can. And here’s after running it through
Adobe Podcast. This is useful for nearly every video creator. Wedding filmmakers,
YouTubers, documentary filmmakers, corporate shooters. There are always scenarios where your
audio might not come out as great and this tool will solve that for you pretty much instantly.
I covered this next tool in a recent video. You upload your unedited video
and this AI tool automatically cuts out silences and bad takes or mess ups from
your raw video. It’s not always perfect so you can quickly glance through the transcript to
make sure there’s not something else that you’d like to cut out. And if there is,
you can either press the scissors icon to delete it from the video or highlight
sections and press the delete key. Then when you export an XML to Final Cut, Resolve,
or Premiere and you open it up, you’ll notice your video that you shot is perfectly cut up.
All the silences and messups taken out. And best of all it’s non destructive. So you can
recover those cut parts if you really need to because it’s working from the source footage.
Gling has saved me hours and hours of time the past month and a half. This is unfortunately a
subscription but they have a nice little perk for YouTubers that offers basically free service if
you include the fact that you edited with Gling in the description of your videos.
Tool number 5 is called Opus Clip. This is a tool that will take videos of yours and make
different vertical videos from it. The AI will guess what the subject of your shot is so it can
adjust what part of your landscape video should fit in the vertical crop. It’ll cut it up for ya,
add subtitles, and often create multiple options with rankings for how the video would do and why
it would do well. This won’t work for all videos type, for example it doesn’t really cut it for my
editing tutorials, but it apparently is amazing for conversational type videos like interviews,
podcasts, etc. And the nice thing is, it’s free! So give it a whirl and see if it works for you.
AI tool number 6 is probably the most well known AI tool and it’s called ChatGPT. Do you have a
video contract you need to have drawn up? Type in your video production company, your client’s name,
and specific requirements for the contract, and let ChatGPT draft it up for you. Need a solid
model release? Create one almost instantly. Need ideas for YouTube videos in your niche?
ChatGPT’s got you. ChatGPT may seem like a boring AI tool since it’s talked about so much, but it’s
so immensely useful. I find it really helpful when drafting emails to clients and brands. I start
with the prompt, ‘act like a professional in the videography and editing business’. Side note the
prompt ‘act like…’ and then stating what you’d like ChatGPT to act like when writing, helps a
bunch. And then I write out some brief sentences about what I’d like it to draft up for me.
It writes out a draft, I’ll copy it and go in and make some tweaks to have it fit
my own voice for the most part. ChatGPT has saved me a ton of time and energy
the past few months and I highly recommend using it as a personal assistant of sorts.
Tool number 7 is called CreatorXML.
If you create videos on YouTube, this is a tool you need to try. It basically is
a way to do AB testing for your thumbnails and titles. You insert lots of variations of your
thumbnail and lots of variations of your title and it’ll score them and let you know which one
the AI thinks will be the most successful pair. This is the free version that I’m using because
even though the paid versions have cooler features, they’re really damn expensive.
AI Tool number 8 is called TheOasis. If you’re a video creator TheOasis is immensely useful
if you have video ideas, tasks you need to write down to complete a video, and so on.
It’s a tool that takes what you say, even if you ramble, and it cleans it up and puts it
into whatever categories you select. You can make what you say a nice to do list,
you can have it explained like you’re a 5 year old to simplify things,
you can make it an outline, an elevator pitch, a film script, a summary,
and the list goes on and on. It simplifies or expands your thoughts as a video creator to help
you accomplish what you need to accomplish. This is a free tool you can use by the way.
Number 9 is called TopazLabs Video AI. This AI tool upscales lower
resolution footage to higher quality. For example this footage was originally 720p,
you can see the lack of detail in her hair here. And then if I turn on what
Topaz Video AI did you’ll see it intelligently sharpens it. It does a fairly good job. Not as
great as I was hoping though. It also can take normal 24fps shots or 30fps shots and make them
slow motion. I found that this works best when there’s not a lot of motion in your shot though.
And then we have a website that may be the one that interests me the most. It’s called
Runway. This company has apparently 30 AI tools available. It has a normal frame rate to slow
motion frame rate converter and I was actually impressed with how well this did compared to Topaz
video AI. It looked really solid. You have the ability to generate video just from text prompts,
although it’s not at the point where it generates things perfectly. It seems to do
landscapes pretty well though. But faces and animals can sometimes have things
looking a little freaky. It has a cool frame interpolation feature that can take a series
of pictures of yours and use AI to morph them so they look like an interesting slow motion
video. And from there you can brush out parts of your shot and use AI to change them up.
You can blur faces, cut out people from video, upscale resolution etc. There’s also audio tools
that can help clean up audio, you can generate a transcript from any video, and more. A lot
of Runway is free to use but you only have a certain number of minutes and you’re unable to
export in anything greater than 720p. Access to the full features is by subscription. And I know
that sucks, but for all the tools you’re getting access to, it’s not that bad at all for the price.
