I’m curious if anyone here is using AI video tools seriously to make money from TikTok, Instagram Reels, etc.

I’ve been looking at tools like AutoShorts and Higgsfield, but a lot of them seem focused on fully automating the whole video. That sounds good in theory, but the videos often feel generic, and you don’t get much control once they’re made.

I’m more interested in tools where you can generate the video, but still properly edit it afterwards: change scenes, regenerate parts, tweak captions, swap media, adjust the voiceover, and shape the final result.

Does anyone know of a tool like this? and has anyone here actually built a side income with these tools, or are they mostly still a novelty?

Also curious what niches are working, and whether the content is actually getting views/revenue.

(Update: I have found a pretty good solution. FrameCompose.com. The only issue is that it doesn't offer mobile or tablet support, but other than that, it's basically offering everything I'm looking for)

I’m curious how many people here are actually using AI automation/creation platforms for making short-form videos, and which ones are genuinely useful.

I’ve been looking at tools like AutoShorts ai, Shorts ai, and similar apps. They all mainly seem to be focused on fully automating the video creation, but I'm looking for something that gives more customization and editability.

I’m more interested in tools where you can still edit the result properly change scenes, regenerate individual parts, tweak the voiceover or captions, and actually shape the final video rather than just accepting whatever comes out.

Are people here using these tools seriously, or are they still more of a novelty? Curious which ones people or actually using

And whether anyone knows of a tool that gives more customization?
