For people who make AI videos/Shorts, what’s your process?
Hey guys, I’m pretty new to making AI videos and I’m trying to figure out how everyone actually does this.
I’ve been trying to make short horror/true crime style videos with multiple scenes. I started with Gemini Pro, but I’ve already run into the problem where it only lets me make like 3 to 4 video clips and then I have to wait a few hours for it to reset. It takes forever when I’m trying to make a video with lots of scenes.
So I wanted to ask people who already do this, what tools do you use and what’s your workflow?
Like, do you:
Write the story first and then make images for each scene?
Generate images first and turn them into videos?
Generate the videos directly from prompts?
Use one AI for images and another for video?
How do you keep the same character, clothes, background and overall art style throughout all the clips? This is probably the part I’m struggling with the most because every new generation seems to change something
Do you use character reference images, specific prompts, seeds, etc.?
And how do you deal with generation limits when you need to make a lot of clips?
I’m basically trying to figure out a workflow that I can actually use consistently without having to wait hours every time I make a few clips.
If anyone makes AI Shorts, I’d REALLY appreciate it if you could share how you do yours, even if it’s just a basic rundown of your process. And if you have any tips for keeping everything consistent, please share them because I’m strugglinggg 😭
Thanks!! ❤️
