thanks to AI I've cut down my video production time just a couple hours and I want to show you how you can do the same so if you're ready to save some time and pump out more content let's dive in now my workflow is pretty straightforward I'm only using a couple of AI tools and the best part they're all free so you can just copy my system without spending a single penny for every step mode to show you I've got a stopwatch ready and let you know how long H1 takes it all kicks off with
ideas and research now you might expect me to whip out Chad gbt and drop a basic from like suggest video ideas as be real everyone knows Chad gbt by now and to be honest the ideas that spits out aren't exactly top tier no offense to GPT fans but if you're a YouTuber like me it doesn't quite hit the mark so instead of relying on it I do my own digging checking out competitors and keeping up with Trends usually I already have a rough vision of what I want to talk about I'll hop on YouTube find
a few similar videos and start collecting their links once I have them I dump those links into a free tool called no gbt now let me tell you no gbt is a game changer and no not sponsor by no gbt in any way and what it does it grabs the transcription summary and mind map for every video that mind map Totally useless for me skip it if you're following along the transcription it's accurate and has time codes but again not super helpful for my process what I do care about is the summary tab this is
where the gold is gives you highlights key insights and a super short one sentence summary perfect for figuring out what the video is about without actually watching the whole thing I either copy these notes somewhere or Jud them down on my iPad or even just good old paper but I don't stop there the fourth tab in note gbt is the AI chat and I use it to talk with the video's content yeah you can literally ask questions like does the video hint at anything normally I would have to sit through the entire video to catch
those little details by chatting with it I get a quicker understanding of its angle this helps me find ideas that weren't explored or figure out how to approach the topic differently I repeat this for 3 to five videos and by the end I've got a crystal clear idea what my video will be about for instance if everyone's making videos about why gbt 5 might flop I might flip the script and talk about why it's bound to succeed just an example but you get the point so after I finish watching and researching videos I usually dive
into a couple of web articles well dive might be stretching it I skim the summary so let be real and I used to same no gbt tool to summarize articles most tools out there yeah they make you copy paste the text yourself which is such a pain why can't they just let you drop in a link right summarizing an article works exactly like summarizing a video for me I check the summary ask AI follow-up questions and take notes videos they are for ideas and articles that's where I I get the hard cuts the data I
need and you know what in 15 minutes I'm done normally this would take an hour easy I guess the only reason it doesn't take 5 minutes is that I'm kind of serious about my research game so I've been editing for a while and yeah can get real tedious but I found a way to speed things up I use V the sponsor of today's video specifically their magic code feature absolute Lifesaver you know those awkward pauses the o and um we all do yeah magic could just wipe those out no effort one click and boom my
video is cleaner Tighter and way easier to work with changes the world and creates innovations that affect millions of lives and V also has this eye correction feature sometimes I'm not staring directly into the camera don't judge happens and instead of redoing the whole thing I just hit a button and V fixes it it's probably some AI Wizardry happening frame by frame but it's so smooth you wouldn't even know I cheated love that of course the basics are solid too noise removal yep they've got this algorithm that wipes out background noise like it's nothing and
it's super fast you've decided to record a YouTube video but you've decided to record a YouTube video but plus the subtitles on point they're accurate customizable and you can even throw in animations or emojis yeah it's that extra but honestly this is just scratching the surface vs good all sorts of AI driven tools like translating your audio turning text into video creating in AI avatars it's insane if you're serious about video editing and want to save a ton of time be is where it's at seriously go check it out the links down below when I'm
done with my research and I know exactly what I want I head over to Chad GPT but I don't just throw everything at it and expect it to write a whole script in one go and that's something you need to keep in mind if you give Chad GPT a huge task upfront it's probably going to start hallucinating repeating itself or just rephrasing what you gave it over and over the result a messy inconsistent script instead I take a different approach custom gbts I've got two of them the first one is designed just for outlining the
rough structure of the video gives me a clear flow and direction if you're curious about how to create your own custom gbt make sure to check out our recent Chad gbt guide I break down everything you can do with it so for this first gbt I give it a simple prompt idea Plus plus the idea itself and at the end of The Prompt I'll usually add use the web for information just to make sure it does I've got web access enabled by default in the gbt settings but it doesn't always go as planned even with
a custom gbt trained on my exact preferences Chad gbt can sometimes just do its own thing when that happens I just tweak The Prompt slightly for example I might ditch the use to web request honestly you never know which part of the prompt is going going to make Chad gbt go off track luckily this time it worked fine here's how it's set up Chad gbt splits the script into sections each section starts with a little intro to grab attention and connected to the previous part then gives a list of options that should be covered in
that section the bullet points though are usually pretty basic no matter how I promt them in the GPT settings so I've gotten into the habit of asking Chad gbt again to use the web and fill in those bullet points with the more detailed information adds more depth more useful insights and sometimes even links to sources this outline pretty much becomes the backbone of my videos now the second custom GPT I don't use it as often but it's the one that actually writes the script I've trained it by uploading a bunch of our alt scripts so
it knows our style our tone and the vocabulary we use I set it up so I can just copy the outline from the first GPT paste it in and boom a full script but even here I have to tweak things as I go by defa Chad gbt is set to give shorter answers so I usually have to follow up with an extra prompt asking it to expand that's the secret sauce to get in the right length for my scripts what you need to remember when working with Chad gbt is that no matter how well you
set your custom gbts will still mess up you need to stay on top of things at all times controlling is every move in my case I only have to do minor adjustments and that's not black magic I just prompted engineering and by the way you can learn all my tricks in our beginner's guide to Chad gbt it's completely free now I want you to take this script right in part with a grain of salt it's been another 10 minutes and the script is mostly done it's not perfect in any way with some of my narration
magic I can make it work though sometimes the results Chad gbt gives are far from perfect and straight up refuses to fix it these cases I either start a new Chad with this custom gbt or head over to do Claude and try to make it work there with Claude it works pretty much like you would expect there's one catch it can access the web so yeah it can pump out scripts but they tend to lack the latest most relevant info and for some scripts that's not biggie but for others well that's when I either have
to jump in and add stuff manually or switch over to Chad gbt but honestly Claude is still pretty solid at cranking out scripts you can even upload files to it so if you had a script done and wanted to use it as a reference boom easy just know that there is no such thing as custom gbts with Claude so every time you cheat with it either Hing remembers what you did before or star in fresh aside from that it's pretty fast took me like 3 minutes to get a script done when running this channel I've
tested a ton of AI tools not all of them make it into video though but few standouts those end up on my website aim. me I hand test everything on there so trust me only the good stuff makes the C and yeah the list of TOS is growing as we test new ones they will get added so if you are into ai go check out the site definitely a good starting point so far I've got my script ready to roll and I'm about to start filming no AI here just me my trusty camera my lights
a bit of a editing magic and uh boom we're done the stopwatch says about 2 hours now before you start expecting me to gush over some AI that edits my videos for me let me stop you right there that's not happening sure there are AI TOS out there that can edit video do pretty solid job but for now I prefer my videos edited by real humans it's just how I like it same thing with the thumbnails I'm not generating any fake images of myself I just grab my camera and take a couple of good old
photos but here's where AI does come back into play even with a great camera sometimes I like to give my photos a little boost make him pop you know and for that I use Crea AI super simple no weird tricks I just upload my photo select the opsc scale option and that's it check this out now full disclosure sometimes the results can get a little you know interesting AI tries to predict what every pixel should be and occasionally it misses especially with my glasses but hey the beard the hair spot on heads up though if
your original photo isn't highres you might end up looking like like someone else even with my good quality shots AI has somehow altered my eyes before like I kind of tell it's me if I squint but yeah it all depends on the quality of your original pck and hey you don't have to use Korea AI there are loads of AI tools for this and we've covered plenty of them on the channel right now the stopwatch says 2 minutes well not bad right if you've been following the channel you probably remember magnific AI I once grounded
the best AI upscale that hasn't changed it's still to tier it's a paid app but worth every cent today though we're keeping things free so check out AI M or. me for more awesome tools like that once my photos is looking sharp I jump into the thumbnail editing like usual then I upload the video no AI needed here either but that's because I've been doing this for a while if you're new to this Chad gbt can definitely help you out with things like tags also descriptions all that it won't nail it 100% but it's more
than good enough so if I do a quick bit of math the whole process from start to finish took about 2 hours and 30 minutes if I would done everything manually easily another 2 hours tag on and if you think my content creation pipeline ends here well hold on we're just getting started so because from here there are two routes I usually go route one making a bunch of shorts or reals route two turning the video into fall on text article now I've already showing you a bunch of tools to create short clips from longer
videos so I'm not going to repeat myself it's literally as simple as pting link wait in a bit and boom done easy peasy I'm not heavy into Shores or reels right now but what I am doing is prepping to add a block section to the website yeah I will be posting articles about AI there I'm not a fan of writing my own copy so what do I do I take the audio from my edited video transcribe it using restream and Bam instant text streams awesome because it doesn't limit me on audio length a lot of
tools hide this feature behind a pay wall but not restream it's a huge win all I do is upload my audio hit a button and in about a minute for a 13-minute track I've got my transcription no need to sign up no how so it just works I usually do this when I improvise a lot during filming but it works just as well if you're using a script like something from Chad gbt or Claude well next step I take that transcription toss it over to Claude and ask it to turn the text into an article
Pro tip ask Claude to suggest images that could fit the article it won't generate them but at least you will get a solid list to work with later and of course don't forget about SEO keywords it's a blog post right Claude does a great job with that but if I really want to make sure I'm covered I will ask for those SEO keywords again just in case trust me SEO is everything when it comes to blogging all right we're almost there just one final thing to do grab a few images from the blog post and
don't worry no surprises here I've got three solid options and you get to pick which one you like the best option one Chad GPT and Dolly super easy and hands down one of my favorite options I've got a detailed guide on this but in short Dolly does exactly what I ask I can copy an idea straight from Claude paste it and boom an image and if I need tweaks just talk to it like I'm chatting with a real person that that side though it's not totally free it can generate a few images for free but
if you want to use it a lot you will need a subscription still it's the easiest by far so I highly recommend it option two mid journey I will be real with you this one is my least favorite the whole Discord Chat thing not the most convenient and the proms you've got to be super specific to get it right which can be a hassle but the results are consistently awesome quality resolution Style M Journey Nails it so if you don't mind the learning curve you will get some great stuff and hey if you need help
we've got a full guide on it for free option three Adobe Express this might be the best option if you're looking for something free and feature packed it's not just about generating images it's got in painting background removal resizing heads up though the interface is a bit chaotic everything's cramed into one editor and it's easy to get lost but the image generation is solid you can pick a style upload a reference and even create collages so for versatility Doby Express is a win now after writing that block post with Claude and generating the images the
whole thing took me about 16 minutes add another 15 minutes for those shorts and in about 3 hours I've got full YouTube video some shorts and reals and at least one awesome blog post and if I ever want to take a break from shooting videos myself I could just create my own avatar with hey Jen that AI could basically host the channel for me if you're interested in seeing a full guide on that let me know in the comments thanks for hanging out and I will catch you in the next one peace
