I love how people who have never made AI videos are always up in arms about how it’s not creativity and how it doesn’t take effort or skills. Yes, slop doesn’t take effort or skills. But what about when you have an actual creative vision originating from your mind and you want to translate it into video? Is that not different from every single art form? When making a video, I: Write a full script before opening AI tools (or if the vision is strong enough and I’m burning with desire I start making it right away) Find a music track that fits my vision Open AI tools Generate images as first frames for every single shot Generate them again and again until I get exactly what I want Use Photoshop to fix images if it’s doable Generate videos from those first frames Generate them again and again until I get exactly what I want Generate speech tracks if needed Generate them again and again until I get exactly what I want Lip sync videos to those speech tracks Open Davinci Resolve Cut everything, match with music Do VFX for transitions and other effects Subtitles if needed Color grade if needed Generative AI tools are literally like 30% of the whole process. Anyone else with this same experience? Like people think that you’ll just write “make me something cool with cats and AK-47’s” and it will spit out pure cinema in 3 minutes. Yes, the tools are advancing, video generators learn cinema and are able to create something with more simple prompts. It’s new, it’s exciting for now, “look at these effects and how it’s like a real movie”. But creativity cannot ultimately be killed, because it’s not physical. I get my visions from somewhere, I don’t know where, and they are not calculated by an algorithm, which means they are not constrained by rules. And that’s how creativity has always been, no matter if the tool was a paint brush, digital drawboard, video camera or AI. submitted by /u/Wise_Station1531
