How to make the perfect YouTube short from start to finish With a Little Help from AI I'm going to create a brand new video from scratch for my History Channel using AI tools at every single Video Idea Generator AI stage so let's start by generating the perfect video idea by using chat gpt4 what is something that most people don't know about World War.

 


 I like to start with a prompt like this before generating a video script because it normally gives some more interesting information to use as the core idea and this answer looks pretty good to me it talks about how the US used ghost armies of inflatable tanks and sound effects to create the illusion of a much larger Video Script Generator AI Force so now let's generate the first draft of a script by being very specific write me a fast-paced 30 second YouTube script based on this fact in the style of an intelligent You Tuber now this result is a little bit wordy the intro and outré especially are both way too long for a YouTube short which needs to be very fast paced and that's what because they get the very best results you shouldn't be using the first script that comes out of the AI you always need to make some edits make this script faster paced and more engaging we can also get very specific about the kind of edits we want to see something like open this script with an intriguing question that gets answered right at the end now these results aren't terrible and you could definitely use them to make a decent video.

 

But we're aiming for Perfection and the fact is that your personal knowledge about the YouTube platform and what makes a good video is going to help take your script to the next level for example I've seen success In my YouTube shorts when I Loop them Back around to the start from the outré to the intro in a seamless way it's actually made my retention go over 100 so you can try asking chat GPT to write a script like this but it just doesn't really understand the prompt so what I'm saying is yes use chat GPT to generate a first draft use it to generate some cool facts but to make the perfect video you need to manually assemble the script yourself so you should end up with a final product that uses the best of AI and your own personal knowledge then it's time to record and with AI getting Automatic.

 

 Eye Contact Correction the perfect take has never been easier as you can see here I've gone ahead and recorded my video with my eyes looking down at the computer screen as I read my script line by line and all I'm going to do is head over to vid.io upload my video from my computer and once my clip is sitting in the timeline I'm just going to quickly change it to the correct size for a YouTube short from this drop down menu and make sure it fits nicely like so and now we're going to use some real AI Magic on the left hand side I'm going to click on the eye contact button and check this out in just a few seconds the AI has corrected my gaze so it looks like.

 

 I'm staring directly into the lens for the entire recording this is what it looks like before and this is what it looks like after it's even replicating my blinking so it looks natural now this feature is brand new and it's just about to be released on vied so make sure you subscribe to channel ring the notification Bell and I'll let you know exactly when it goes live so as you can Automatic Silence Remover see my raw footage in the timeline is one minute and 19 seconds long so normally I would now watch that through and manually cut out any mistakes any pauses any breaks but now if I just select my video in the timeline scroll down to the remove silences button and with just one click all of the pauses have been removed from my footage automatically so all.

 

 I need to do now is remove any mistakes by clicking on that clip deleting it from the timeline and Clean Audio Tool moving them along right above this button is the clean audio tool so if your recorded audio has some annoying background noise or maybe it's just a little bit low quality in general all you need to do is just click on this button and it will be automatically improved by the AI here's what my audio sounds like directly out of the camera secret ghost armies help to win World War II and here's.

 

 what it sounds like after I've used the AI secret ghost armies helped to win World War II so now that my audio is Crystal Clear we can get on with the more fun parts of the Automatic Background Remover editing process for example if your background is a little bit boring just select your footage in the timeline scroll down to remove background on the left hand side and by enabling this feature you can see that your background will be completely deleted and you can simply layer anything you like underneath it you can even try adding some stock footage just go to Media scroll down to the stock video section and just search for whatever you need in my case.

 

 I'm just going to look for World War and already you can see all of the stock footage options that fit my search and if I click on one it adds it to the timeline and to use it as my background all I need to do is layer it underneath my talking head like so and it already looks much more Dynamic you can also use Free Stock Footage stock footage to add more context to the rest of your video I'm going to cover my short with more relevant footage that helps to explain what I'm talking about and also makes the video more fun to watch and if there's any context that AI Text to Image Generator can't be added by stock footage you could try generating an AI image using veers text to image generator for example in my script.

 

 I mentioned that the US Army used inflatable tanks which Is obviously going to be quite hard to find in any stock footage Library so I'm just going to open up the image generator and just like chat gbt I'll add a detailed description of what I want to see which in this case is a group of World War II Army tanks but they are inflated like a balloon and there you go I can now download this Image and use it in my edit I'm also Add Stock Music going to add some stock music in the exact same way as I added the stock video just go to audio stock music and find whatever track works for your Automatic Subtitles and Captions footage and another essential thing you need to add to your YouTube shorts is subtitles just go to subtitles Auto subtitle create subtitles and in just a few seconds the.

 

 AI will listen to your audio and add some text on top of your video which you can then customize with animated presets you can change the size you can change the color and for YouTube shorts I recommend moving your subtitles a little closer to the middle of the Generate YouTube Title screen and of course we're going to need a really good title or caption my boss chat gbt to generate a one sentence social media caption based on this script that will Intrigue the viewer to watch the video no hash tags one emoji less than 10 words so by being very specific it's giving some good suggestions and if I don't like the suggestion I could just ask for another Final Product one and now we're ready to post so let's sit back and watch the final product secret ghost armies help to win World War.

 


 I did you know that the US Army used inflatable tanks fake radio chatter and sound effects to trick the axis forces the 23rd headquarters Special Troops was made up of roughly 1 100 soldiers including artists engineers and actors and you probably won't have heard of them this unit was classified for decades only becoming public knowledge In the 80s and 90s so that's how now if you want to see if you can generate some amazing YouTube thumbnails using AI you need to check out this video next and I'll see you guys in the next one.
