Intro
The channel focuses on motivational shorts, noting the popularity of dark themes and animal-themed content, especially on platforms like TikTok. Videos using cinematic footage and voiceovers tend to perform well. The tutorial will demonstrate how to create both cinematic and animal-themed motivational shorts.
Generating Motivational Quotes with ChatGPT
The first step is to use ChatGPT to generate motivational quotes. The video creator requested 20 creative quotes suitable for cinematic footage, specifying a minimum word count. They also generated animal-based motivational quotes, which are effective for creating engaging videos.
Creating Cinematic Visuals in Canva
The tutorial moves to Canva to create the visual component of the short. Starting with a blank YouTube Shorts template, the creator searches for cinematic videos in the elements section. Filtering the orientation to vertical helps find suitable clips. The creator selects videos that match the chosen quote, setting them as backgrounds for the short. The brightness, highlights, and saturation of the videos are adjusted to achieve a darker theme.
Adding AI Voiceover
To add a voiceover, the video creator uses an AI-powered tool within Canva. They selected Murf AI for its decent motivational voices, signing up and connecting the app. After selecting a suitable male speaker and setting the speed to medium, the quote from ChatGPT is pasted into the tool. The AI generates a voiceover, which is then adjusted to fit the video.
Editing in CapCut: Captions, Transitions, and Music
The video is then imported into CapCut for further editing. A transition effect is added between the two video clips. Auto-captions are generated to match the voiceover, and these captions are split and adjusted for readability. The font size is increased, and the text is bolded and italicized. Copyright-free background music is sourced from Pixabay, ensuring the license is suitable for use. The music is added to the timeline, with the peak part aligned to the transition. The music volume is adjusted to balance with the voiceover. Finally, the video is exported with the desired resolution and settings.
Creating Animal-Themed Motivation Video
The tutorial extends the process to creating an animal-themed motivational video. Quotes about an eagle, a lion, and a hummingbird are used. The creator searches for corresponding animal videos in Canva and selects appropriate clips. The same editing procedure from the cinematic video is applied to create the final product.
