How I Edited My Yololiv Instream Review Video in Less Than 45 Minutes

I'm glad that I was able to complete the edit of chapter 8 of my Yololiv Instream review video in 45 minutes. 

This is a significant improvement from the previous chapter, which took me 2 hours to edit. 

I was able to achieve this by learning that I don't need to use AI to make my spoken words perfect. As long as viewers can understand what I'm saying, that's all that matters.

Tomorrow, I'm going to try to complete multiple chapters in a single day. I'm also going to try to just voice over my videos spontaneously without writing down the script. 

I think this will help me to be more natural and engaging. 

What are your thoughts on my editing process?

I'm excited to see what I can accomplish tomorrow!

Today, I embarked on the task of utilizing AI tools, including ChatGPT, BARD, and Bing, to assist me in the process of video production. My intention was to leverage the capabilities of these tools to enhance the storytelling aspect of my project, hoping for improved efficiency and a polished final result.

Initially, I had high expectations for the AI script generation. I believed that it would elevate the quality of my story and expedite my workflow, allowing me to accomplish more within a shorter span of time. However, as the event unfolded, I encountered some significant challenges that impacted my overall experience.

The most time-consuming aspect was the process of transferring my outline into the AI tools. I had to painstakingly input each line of my outline manually, and then copy and paste the AI-generated output back into my video project. This method of interaction proved to be laborious and significantly slowed down my work.

Comparing the time taken, it became apparent that relying on AI for script creation extended the completion time. With the involvement of AI, it took approximately two hours to finalize the script. In contrast, when working without AI, I could complete the same task in just 45 minutes. This notable disparity highlighted the trade-off between the benefits of AI-generated content and the increased time investment required.

As I reflect on this experience, I've come to the realization that, in future endeavors, I may opt to streamline my workflow by forgoing the use of AI for script modification. Instead, I plan to rely on my own creative instincts and perform voice-over work "off the cuff," allowing for a more efficient process.

Nevertheless, it's important to acknowledge the valuable contributions that AI made in terms of enhancing the storytelling aspect of my project. The AI tools provided valuable insights and suggestions that assisted me in shaping the narrative, ultimately enriching the overall quality of the video production.

In conclusion, my venture into utilizing AI tools for video production has been a learning experience. While the AI-generated script showcased its strengths, the time-consuming nature of the process and its impact on my workflow have led me to reconsider its role in future projects. As I move forward, I will strive to strike a balance between leveraging AI's potential and optimizing my creative workflow to achieve faster results without compromising quality.
