04:12[00:02] new type of content generating millions of views. I'm talking about 62 million views on a single video and 19 million views on another, all in just one week! The page is gaining a huge number of followers across all platforms. So today, I'm going to show you how these videos are made and guide you step-by-step on
[00:17] how you can easily create videos like these yourself. I promise I'll reveal secrets you've never known before. What's happening is that a new type of video is popping up everywhere right now. The very simple idea is to imagine waking up at a specific time in history to videos made with
[00:31] incredibly high quality and realism. They start with a single scene of someone waking up, followed by scenes that show you life at that time, like waking up as a child in ancient Egypt and starting a normal day. Take, for example, this account that made just 20 videos and managed to get over 110 million
[00:45] views and reach... 500,000 followers – the numbers are literally insane! So what's going on? Why are these videos getting millions of views so quickly? It's due to three things: immersion, curiosity, and storytelling. First, immersion: these videos are like time machines
[01:00] that transport you to another world. They don't just let you see history; they let you feel it. The realistic details make your brain experience something completely different, and that's what makes people watch. Second, curiosity: when you see the title, your brain is compelled to
[01:15] learn more about what life was like at that time and what would happen next. So you continue watching to understand and learn more. Third, storytelling: these videos aren't just AI-generated footage. They follow a simple system, but with a
[01:29] specific narrative that makes people interact with the video. It's like waking up and seeing the world around you, experiencing life at that time. That's why people watch the video to the end, and when the video captures their attention... This is how algorithms generate millions of views for your videos. Now, let me
[01:42] tell you something amazing: before artificial intelligence, creating videos like this took hours and millions of dollars. But now, you can literally create videos like these in minutes. That's exactly what we're going to do now. But first, we need to choose a video idea. Instead of thinking about them, I'll show you a
[01:58] specific method you can use to come up with video ideas that have a higher chance of getting views. I'll also show you how to create the best promo for them in seconds. This method is about reusing content in a new way by copying videos that actually
[02:13] get views and adding your own style. For example, this video is about a person's life during the Pharaonic era, so we could talk about a person's life during the pre-Islamic era. It's the same method and the same psychological motivation, but with a new idea. This technique works by finding a successful video, analyzing the
[02:28] reason for its success, and creating a similar idea for a different time period. This will save you hours. A lot of work and ideas have a greater chance of getting views, but just because AI gives you a great idea doesn't mean you have to get views every time. That's why you have to use your brain before
[02:43] implementing the idea. There are three main components you need to keep in mind. Number one is curiosity. You have to make people think about what will happen in the next scene. Videos that get views make people curious when they see the title. So if someone watches
[02:57] your video and asks themselves questions, you've won. For example, if you're talking about paradise, people will naturally ask what it looks like and what will happen there. This is what filmmakers use to succeed; it's human psychology. The second thing is originality. You have to show people something they do
[03:12] n't see every day. If an idea has been done a lot, it won't be unique. Videos that get views succeed because they make people see something new they haven't seen before, like... The Titanic video that literally got a lot of views, and it succeeded because there was
[03:26] mystery and drama. So when you choose an idea, ask yourself if you can make people or if you can make someone stop and finish the video because this is something they have never seen before. Thirdly, the realism of the video is that it's not just a story being told; it has to make the viewer feel like they are living inside it and experiencing
[03:41] that moment. That's why these videos produce very good results, because they create scenes of very high quality that make people connect with them. If your idea incorporates these three elements— curiosity, originality, and realism—then the success rate of your idea becomes very high. Before we create the
[03:56] scenes for the idea, we must understand the correct method. After analyzing all these videos, I thankfully found the method that works every time. Once you understand it, you can take any idea, apply this method, and create a truly amazing video. The first thing is the waking-up scene. The first second of the
[04:12] video is crucial; it's what makes the viewer immerse themselves. Make them feel, for example, that they actually woke up at that moment. Its quality must be very high and realistic. For example, if you wake up in the pre-Islamic era, the scene must include familiar details like a sword, the desert, and a
[04:26] tent so the viewer knows exactly where they woke up. The second thing is daily life, such as the daily routine. We show where he lives, his work, and what he looks like. The third thing is an action moment in the video. This isn't absolutely necessary,
[04:39] but it's present in most of the videos I've made. Watching people like that, you add a moment of danger and injury, like in the Titanic video when it hit the iceberg, the ship started to sink, people started coming to the rescue, and everything was falling apart. This drama is what makes people watch. The fourth and final thing
[04:52] is the final shot. The end of the video is determined by the story. For example, most videos end beautifully, while others end with a different ending that shocks the viewer. Now that you understand the right way to make great videos, it's time to
[05:05] start creating these videos from scratch. Of course, the first thing is the foundation of the video, which is its promo. So, first, we want a clear idea and a professional promo for it. Before we start, I've left all the promos I used in a small file. You can access it via this link.
[05:18] download the file. Then, I want you to follow along with me step by step. The second thing is creating the images for each scene. When we do For the promo, we need to take cinematic photos from the best angles with very high quality. The third thing is to animate the photos to create very realistic videos.
[05:32] We'll animate the photos while maintaining our video quality. The fourth thing is editing. When we make the videos, we'll modify them, such as adding sound effects and cinematic movements. So, for example, let's look at this video. The system I've put in mind regarding the scenes: First, the waking-
[05:45] up scene, which you'll find in a first-person perspective. Second, the breakfast scene, for example, which is of course a daily routine. Third, the arrival at work scene. Fourth, the start of work and the walk. Fifth, the work break. Seventh, returning from work. And eighth, sleep. This is the system that
[06:00] popular videos use. So, let me show you how I'll do this system. All you have to do is download the file outside for the second time, the one containing these promos, copy promo number one, and put the title of the video you want to create similar ideas for here. Press Enter, and look at
[06:14] the results here. Literally, these are some amazing ideas! After that, we copy promo number two and only edit these two things: first, the character, and then, here, I'll put the character's date and time. Once both are done, press Enter. And that's how Chat GBT created professional promos for each of
[06:30] these scenes. That's how we finished everything related to the promo. Now, let's get to the most important thing in the video: how to create very high-quality and realistic images, of course, from a first-person perspective. So, I started by going to each promo for each scene, copying it, and adding it back to Charge BT, along with
[06:44] promo number three, which is just so you can make each image high quality. And this is the result. After I created all the images in the same way, it was time to convert them into professional animated videos. Of course, there are many websites, but most of them are paid. So, I found
[06:58] this website for you, which is literally amazing. And of course, you 'll find all the other websites in the description. So, I'll use this program. As soon as you register, you'll see points that allow you to create these images. Click here and choose the image you want to animate. Scrolling down a bit, you can
[07:11] add the image's promo, but this is optional because it creates excellent videos without one. Click here, and most of the time, it creates a realistic image without errors. When you're happy with the result, click "Download" and repeat the process for all the images you created. When you
[07:24] reach this point, we've moved on to the final step: combining them all to create a great video. First, we go to CapCut and set the size to 9x16. Then, we insert all the videos we created. We don't want the video to be too fast or too slow. To create a shot of
[07:38] him closing his eyes, we select the section we want to do that and cut it twice after each second. Then, we go to Transition and search for the word " Blink" and add it in the designated area. What we've cut is that we need to add titles to each scene to show each daily routine. For example, the first scene could be the
[07:53] video title, and the second scene could be about going to work. Finally, we need realistic sound effects, and the best site for this is Pixie. We upload all the images and type "sound effects for
[08:05] each scene," then we choose from them and upload them to the site. That way, we were able to get all the available sounds. Once you've put everything in its place, all you have to do is edit the video. And that's it! The key to this video is " POV-E." So thanks for watching, and peace out!
