[00:00] If you want to create a YouTube channel without showing your face, AI is making that possible now. In this video, I'm going to show you a simple workflow from creating a completely facelift YouTube video using AI, from the initial idea and script, all the way to the voiceover video

[00:16] creation and final editing.

[00:28] The first thing we need is an idea and a script. For this, I'm going to use ChatGPT. Instead of spending hours trying to come up with a topic and writing everything from scratch, I can simply give ChatGPT the niche and the type of video I want to create.

[00:41] For this example, let's say we're creating a channel about interesting facts and stories. I'll ask ChatGPT to create a YouTube script about 5 strange places around the world that people can actually visit.

[00:53] Once the script is ready, I can review it, make changes and make sure the information and storytelling are good enough before moving to the next step. This is important because AI can help with the writing, but you still want to check the final script and make sure it actually sounds

[01:07] good. Now that we have our script, we need a voice and this is where 11Labs comes in. 11Labs turns our written script into a realistic AI voiceover so we don't need to record our own voice. I'll paste the script into 11Labs, choose a voice that fits the channel and generate the narration.

[01:24] One of the useful things about AI voices is that we can try different voices and find one that matches the type of content we are creating. For a documentary style channel I want to actually choose something calm and natural rather than a voice that sounds too energetic or robotic.

[01:39] After we generate a voiceover now we have the audio for our video. The next step is actually turn our script into a video and this is where in video AI can save a lot of time Instead of opening a video editor and searching for every single clip ourselves i can give in video ai the script and it lets create video based on the content i can

[02:00] describe the type of video i want provide a script and let the ai build the initial version for example i'm going to create a documentary style video about the five strange places around the world in video can take the script and automatically build scenes around narration

[02:15] using visuals that match the different parts of the story. Once the video is generated, I can watch through the entire project and see how well the visuals match the narration. This is where I would make changes if something doesn't work right, and I can create a very good

[02:29] first version, but you should still review the video instead of uploading the first result without checking it. If I don't like a particular scene, I can replace it or make changes to the visuals. I can also adjust the text, timing, music and other parts of the video depending on what I

[02:44] want the final results to look like. Now we have most of the video finished but I want to do some final editing before publishing and this is where CapCut comes in. I can import the generated video and make the final adjustments. I can add subtitles, change the timing, background music and sound

[03:01] effects and make sure the video feels more dynamic. For example, I might add subtitles to important parts of the narration and use simple zooms or transitions to make the video feel less static. I can also adjust the music volume so that it stays in the background and doesn't compete with the voiceover.

[03:18] The important thing is that we never needed a camera, we didn't need to record ourselves, we didn't need our microphone and we didn't need to spend hours manually searching for every piece of footage. And this is what makes FACE's YouTube channel interesting.

[03:32] You can build a complete content production process around AI while still controlling the creative direction yourself. So that'll be all for today's video. Thank you for watching AI community. Make sure you subscribe and I'll see you in the next one.
