Description

How to add AI visual effects to your videos without making everything look AI-generated. Every Friday, my news videos start with some wild AI intro and it's the thing I get asked about the most. This is the full breakdown of how I do it, plus every other AI effect I use to keep my videos fun. Intros, transitions, background compositing, B-roll, logo reveals, lower thirds, animated infographics, and the animated talking heads trick from the Sam Altman video. I jump between Runway, Seed Dance 2.0, Gemini, Veo 3.1, Remotion, and Codex throughout. You do not need to be a pro editor. The goal is 95% human video with 5% AI spice.

Great video mate. Really fun to watch. Exactly the tools I am using, and especially for b-rolls.

Awesome man, my main AI source of updates. Hold on to your values as they have kept your content valuable among so many who have sold their souls in exchange of money. The audience can notice that.

I love your videos! Wasn't expecting a mid week upload, this is exciting! 💜💛 This video was fantastic, we use CapCut for the synesthesia effects I specialize in but I like your editor software too. Thank you for sharing this with everyone. I believe the more we share the more beauty we get to help contribute to the world by helping other artists.
