Intro [0:00]
The video introduces the topic of creating recap videos to gain views and generate income. The creator outlines that he will share three methods to help viewers create these videos. He encourages viewers to watch the video and subscribe to the channel for support.
Recap Video Sourcing [0:35]
The initial step involves finding a video to repurpose, with YouTube and Facebook suggested as primary sources. The creator recommends keeping videos short, around one to two minutes maximum, to maintain viewer engagement. It's important to avoid directly copying content that is copyrighted. Chinese dramas are often used for this purpose. Once a suitable video is found, it should be clipped and edited using video editing software.
Script Writing [1:30]
The next step is to write a script based on the one to two-minute video clip. This script is essential for creating a voiceover. The creator suggests that instead of verbatim copying, the script should incorporate the key points and adapt the dialogue to fit the desired narrative. This involves rewriting the original content and customising names or details to make it unique.
Text to Voice Conversion [2:29]
The video explains how to convert the written script into a voiceover using an AI tool. The creator uses Google Studio for this purpose, highlighting that it is a free tool. The process involves copying the script and pasting it into Google Studio, selecting a voice (male or female), and generating the audio file. The creator notes that while this can be done on a phone, using a computer is more reliable for downloading the audio file. The generated audio file can be reviewed and adjusted for tone and delivery.
Copyright-Free Editing Techniques [5:41]
To avoid copyright issues, the creator advises making several adjustments to the video. This includes altering the frame, flipping the video horizontally, and adding a zoom effect. The creator uses 9:16 frame and also mentions 1:1 and 3:4. These modifications help to ensure that the recap video does not directly infringe on the original content's copyright.
AI Voice and Video Synchronisation [7:09]
The tutorial details how to synchronise the AI-generated voiceover with the edited video clip. The creator imports the audio file into the video editing software and aligns it with the video. Adjustments to the speed of the AI voice and the video may be necessary to achieve a seamless match. The creator also advises cutting any unnecessary parts of the video to match the audio length.
Adding Captions [8:12]
Adding captions is crucial for enhancing viewer engagement. The creator recommends using CapCut PC for automatic caption generation, which can be synced with the audio. While the automatic captions may require some manual adjustments, this feature significantly simplifies the process. The creator also emphasises the importance of removing the original video's audio to avoid conflicts with the AI voiceover.
AI Avatar Integration [9:04]
To make the recap video more engaging, the creator suggests adding an AI avatar. This involves generating an image of a character using prompts that describe the desired appearance (e.g., age, gender, style). The creator uses Gemini to create a talking avatar.
Prompt Writing for Image Generation [9:19]
The video explains how to write effective prompts for generating AI images. The creator suggests specifying details such as gender, age, and desired style in the prompt to get the desired character image.
Gemini for Image Generation [9:53]
The creator demonstrates how to use Gemini to generate images from the written prompts. By using the "create image" function and pasting the prompt, Gemini generates an image that can be used as an AI avatar.
Gemini for Video Generation [10:11]
The video shows how to use the generated image to create a talking avatar using D-ID. The creator copies a script and uses it to make the avatar speak. This talking avatar is then downloaded and integrated into the recap video.
Final Editing [11:15]
The final step involves adding the AI avatar to the video and making final adjustments. The creator places the avatar at the bottom of the screen and adjusts the captions for better readability. The background of the avatar can be removed for a cleaner look. The creator duplicates the avatar to fill the entire video length, creating a reaction-style video. The creator notes that while TikTok is more lenient with copyright, YouTube requires more thorough editing to avoid copyright strikes. The video concludes with a demonstration of a completed recap video.
