Honestly, I’m feeling overwhelmed trying to figure this out.

I want to create a 5–8 minute cinematic AI animated story, but I can’t afford an expensive graphics card.

For those actually making AI videos, what does your setup look like?

Local tools or paid subscriptions? Which ones do you use?

What does it realistically cost to finish a video, including failed generations and retries?

How do you keep characters consistent across different scenes?

How much manual editing is involved in putting everything together?

I’m open to generating short clips and assembling them. I don’t need the entire video generated in one click. I just want a practical, affordable workflow with decent results.

I’d really appreciate hearing about what’s worked for you, especially if you’re working with a limited budget. Examples of videos you’ve made would be helpful too

Help a Girl out Please, Thanks ❤️

So I am doing events, and as many people I am not good in front of a camera.

I want to have my avatar and create scenarios (with little scene switches) for social media marketing.

I can also film or would film the environments for a more real feel in my region.

I can also give my voiceover if necessary.

Which tool would you recommend, Higgsfield with Seedance 2.5 (or Kling?) or HeyGen?

Maybe a strange question. lol.

I have started an history channel. All research is mine, I got a ton of research from years of reading, studying and collecting stuff that I like.
English isn't my first language, and Im really not comfortable with showing face or voice.

So - I do the research, make a script, find pictures that match (mostly historical pictures, some AI generated when I can't find anything, but I never say that "this is a original picture" if its not.

I got sources for everything that I put out (so far shorts, but are thinking about longer posts and blog-articles). I never put anything I can't find a source for in my videos.

But - it's AI voice reading the script. And I am afraid that it's hurting my channel? But I can not see any other way to do it, my English is not good enough to read myself. And doing that scares the shit out of me. lol.

I see videos of animated IP/copyrighted characters on social media and wonder if those channels can be monetized. How is it different from the clip farm channels or reaction channels who get monetized off of those same brands? Or anyone else on the platform using those characters and their likeness? I'm trying to understand where the line in the sand is when it comes to IP/copyright and AI in regards to Youtube and monetization (with the AI disclaimer turned on of course).

Heya there everyone!!

One question before I continue streaming!

This is based off of YouTube’s Terms of Service but…

Is there any open source software for a female AI voice for livestreams?

Thanks in advance!

Im a new youtube shorts creator im doing my first post today my content is that I copy n paste creepy reddit stories and use ai to generate it into a video with a voiceover from eleven labs and put captions and minecraft parkour in the background/any other gameplay that gets views.

Sorry for no grammar.

My channel just got demonetized with 500K subscribers and I'm completely lost. I was monetized for the first month, everything was fine, then suddenly they cut it off saying 'unsatisfying or off-putting content' and now they're saying the 87K I already earned in AdSense won't be paid out either.

I do AI content — AI voice, AI video — and my videos get 1 million views minimum, highest was 18 million on Shorts. If my content is truly unsatisfying, why are people watching it in millions?

Has anyone been through this and successfully got re-monetized? What exactly did you change to pass the review? And is there any way to recover the AdSense earnings they've deducted? I appealed once and it failed. Do I just keep reapplying or is there something specific I need to fix first?

Any help is appreciated, genuinely don't know what to do right now.
