Greetings to all!

To start, I'm more of a ML expert than I'm a YouTuber or content creator of any kind. I had an idea to make a history short workflow and grow a channel since ai models are good with narrating history. I managed to make it finally, and without paying a single $, using only free models and free gpus around the web.

I basically need opinions and feedbacks about the videos. You can see the evolution of the different models I've been testing (reduced quality though to fit free gpus), and been getting a few hundred views per short, the last being the most successful so far with 1.1k views.

Appreciate any help.

Hello, I would like to share my thoughts on this :

I'm starting an avatar ai youtube channel, and I'm searching the best video agent option whose budget friendly, with a personal avatar.

I would then recut the work with Premiere Pro.

I currently learn more about HeyGen but maybe there's other tools performing better or of the same type but cheaper. I discovered recently the MCP Heygen X Claude possibility.

Please let me know what you're thinking, thank you, have a good day.

After digging a bit deeper into the AI video space, I’ve noticed people always ask “which tool is the best.” From my own experience, I mostly care about a few key things.The first is “realism and consistency,” especially when it goes beyond normal talking scenarios. Most tools look fine in basic conversation, but once you get into singing or emotional expression, the quality drops pretty quickly.The second is “iteration cost.” Some platforms are very beginner-friendly and you can get decent results in minutes. But others, while more controllable in theory, end up taking more time tweaking than actually creating if speed is your focus.The third thing that often gets overlooked but is really important is “customization.” A lot of tools can generate avatars, but not all of them let you create something truly unique or build a consistent style. This basically decides whether the output feels generic or something you can actually develop a visual identity around.Recently I started trying DomoAI. I wouldn’t call it a “studio-level” tool, but it can quickly produce usable results without too much setup, which I think is actually quite important.There are also more practical limitations, like pricing. Once you move from testing to real usage, things like resolution limits or cost per generation start to matter a lot.

Has anyone here actually gotten approved for YouTube monetization using Gemini 2.5 Pro TTS Voiceover via Google AI Studio?

Got this one from kokoro and built a program to automatically parse and segment scripts and pass it through kokoro and then merge into final audio scripts

Channel is called “Asleep in Class” if anyone wants to check the quality of the voice and offer feedback. Thanks a ton

Does anyone have a good AI prompt for faceless YouTube scripts?

My channel is about old movies, facts, and recommendations. I completed my first video, but the script alone took me almost 2 days to finalize because English isn’t my first language.

I had to keep fixing errors, changing weak parts, improving the pacing, and making the script more engaging again and again.

Would appreciate if someone can share a good prompt or workflow.

I make videos about obscure historical disasters. Stuff like forgotten industrial accidents and small wars that never made it into textbooks. About 850 subs after 10 months and I genuinely love filming and editing. That part is the reward.

The research though? It's been slowly eating me alive. Every video needs like 6 to 8 hours of digging through JSTOR, Newspapers.com archives, and Wikipedia rabbit holes before I even start writing a script. By the time I sit down to record I'm so mentally fried that my delivery sounds like a hostage reading a ransom note.

I tried batching research for two topics at once on alternating days. Did this for about a month. The idea was that switching between topics would keep things fresh but what actually happened is I kept mixing up details between events and both scripts ended up feeling shallow. I'd have notes from one disaster bleeding into notes for another and the whole thing turned into a confusing mess I had to untangle anyway. Then I tried hiring a research assistant on Fiverr. Found someone who seemed legit, paid $45 for a deep dive on a mining collapse in Wales. Got back three pages that were 40% wrong and clearly just paraphrased from the first Google result. One paragraph was almost word for word from a Wikipedia article I'd already read.

So eventually I caved and started experimenting with AI tools for the research phase. I know this sub has strong feelings about that and honestly I get it. AI generated content is garbage and I will die on that hill. But using something like MuleRun to dump sources and a rough timeline into a doc I can actually work from, and then spending an hour verifying and rewriting everything in my own voice? That's been the compromise I landed on.

It's not perfect. About a third of what comes back has errors or weird hallucinated details that sound plausible until you actually check them. I caught one claiming a specific ship sank in 1923 when it actually went down in 1932 and that kind of mistake would destroy my credibility if it made it into a video. So I still verify everything by hand, which means the time savings are real but not as dramatic as I expected. Prep went from maybe 7 hours to about 3.

The weird part is I feel guilty about it. Nobody in my comments has noticed any change except that I'm uploading weekly now instead of biweekly. But there's this nagging voice telling me I'm cutting a corner even though that corner was the exact thing making me want to quit.

I don't really have a neat conclusion here. Still figuring out where the line is for me.I make videos about obscure historical disasters.

Been curious about this for a while. Do you wait for pitches to come to you, actively search for stuff, or just stumble on things randomly?

Asking because I've been talking to a bunch of indie SaaS founders lately and almost all of them have no idea how to get their tools in front of creators. Meanwhile creators I know say finding fresh content is genuinely hard.

Seems like both sides have the same problem but nobody is talking to each other.

How do you handle it currently?

AI editing tools seem to be improving quickly.

A lot of creators are now using tools like:

• Descript for transcript editing• OpusClip for automatic clips• CapCut for short-form editing• Runway for AI visuals

The interesting part is that editing is becoming more workflow-driven instead of fully manual. Instead of editing everything from scratch, creators can automate rough cuts and focus on refinement.

Curious what people here are actually using consistently. Which AI editing tools genuinely save time vs just sounding impressive?

Abandoned Films set off the whole 1950s Super Panavision trend a few years back. Their videos consistently reached over 100K views and was broadly popular. They pivoted in the past years to making Dos Equis commercial penalties. But it seems like adhering too closely to a single format, titles and screenshots got it on the radar.

Does go to show how risky it is to run a pure AI video channel on YouTube is these days, because their videos were more transformative than most, and set off an entire meme trend.

Fellow AITubers, the royalty-free music rabbit hole was killing my time
Every video, same routine search through 50 tracks, find one that's okay drop it in, realize it peaks at the wrong moment, start over. Easily 45 minutes gone per video just on music.
Started using Sonilo a few weeks ago and honestly it just... fixed it.
You upload your video, it reads the pacing and mood automatically, and generates a full soundtrack that actually fits your edit. No prompts, no manual syncing, no dragging waveforms around. Mine came back in under 3 minutes.
The thing that got me was it follows your video's structure when my edit slows down, the music does too. Doesn't feel like a random track slapped on top.
Got a few variations per upload, picked the best one, exported. Done.
Saves me probably 30-40 mins per video now which adds up fast when you're trying to post consistently.
What are you guys using for music right now? Libraries? Commissioned tracks? Genuinely curious if anyone's found something better.
(Disclosure: I work with Sonilo, but the music search problem was real and this actually solved it for me)

As the title says I am curious about Google Vids. It seems at first glance that the inbuilt Veo-3 model is really free and easy to use. I just tested this last night. But I cannot find any credit limit or generation limit option. Is it really free? Is there a limit?

Hello fellow AItubers, I created a kids animation youtube channel around 2 months ago. I initially got some decent views however around 3 weeks ago I pivoted and deleted some videos and since then there are hardly any views. Please advise if this is a temporary issue and anything I can do to improve this situation. Thanks

I produce AI content, but its with my own characters that I design myself with basically illustrator (actually clip studio paint vector layers with a digital pen, inked and colored) then initially I trained a LORA (using my gpu) with my images for Stable diffusion, transitioned to flux, so that I could basically direct images of my characters as a sort of comic for making content and then do cleanup afterwards, but write all the dialog etc angles, facial expressions designed by hand.

I've since moved on to seedance 2 and video rather than comic images, which can take my images/videos of my characters made prior and art assets I've made and direct them rather than rely on ai's imagination. I think AI has gotten such a bad rep from all the lazy people reusing the same prompts that are popular like the cat in the doorbell cam with a gun type stuff.

If you are creating something with assets you created ahead of time, I don't see the problem with ai generated content. If you use your phones camera to record yourself making pancakes and are funny and it does well or whatever your fame is (good for you!), the amount of effort for that though vs what I do feels like the opposite, where my AI generated content is max effort (and pancakes are low imo), I've spent over a full work week producing a single 3 minute video that contains mostly ai generated video. I've spent money to do it too.

However, I've written all the dialog (basically a tv script), all the camera direction along with describing character facial expressions etc. I recorded my own voice to use as audio and changed it with filters (to make my voice sound more male or female for instance for my variety of characters) to assign to my characters for consistency. I have consistent props, backgrounds (interior exterior, day/night/snowy etc).

I find it painful when just because something does use AI that it is automatically put in the slop bin, its just sloppy human behind the keyboard and unfortunately as strange as it is, I feel like the accessibility of AI tools ruined everyone's opinion on it. These companies should have made it more expensive and not let anyone with a computer make a video with it (I feel bad thinking this way but I also just feel so frustrated that everything that is made with ai is automatically considered garbage) Get a real creator using it and things are a bit different.

I showed my own brother who I love, a video I created painstakingly that is 3 minutes (for shorts) to ask for his opinion on the dialog to see if he thought it was funny - a normal person whos liked adult cartoons like rick and morty or futurama, he really likes bobs burgers etc. I am an arrested development fan so I tried to have all the lines have multiple meaning, witty type stuff. Worked on the dialog for quite a bit of time. He just kept saying things like 'how long is this, what is this garbage' and checking his watch. It was painful to have someone I love dearly DESTROY my final product and not even paying attention to it, not because of the content itself but because of his AI bias or whatever was going on in his head.

I've luckily had other people (friends and family) watch and laugh at all the right spots thankfully. Anyway, as a creator I feel like AI can be such a godsend to allow us normal people to basically be capable of making anything we can imagine in a tiny team (1 person over here) and I personally feel like my content could compete with real production company content out there. (feel free to message me if you are curious of my content but I don't think its allowed here so not posting link to my channel)

search for "Whats Hiding in Grandmas Pickle Jars Will SHOCK YOU" on youtube if you want to see my last creation, if you check it out, thank you appreciate the view, but also hopefully someone will see the amount of effort of the human was put into something made with AI in the end.

If I create an AI-generated pure music track paired with a static image, can I make a profit once these conditions are met?

Not talking about the ones pushed through sponsored content or sitting at the top of search results.

Curious about the tools that actually stuck in your daily workflow and how you even found them in the first place. Feels like the genuinely useful ones are always the hardest to come across.

How do you guys get more views from a faceless niche channels ? I comment on youtube videos that are related to y niche to attract more viewers and I post on social media about it but still the conversation rate is very low and slow, would love to get some tips :)

I’ve been posting gaming videos on YouTube for about a year now. I record with facecam and microphone, and I also edit everything myself. My videos are usually around 8–10 minutes long and typically contain a few hundred cuts, facecam zooms during certain moments, and subtitles throughout the entire video.

Editing one video usually takes me around 1 full day, sometimes 2 at most.

My question is this, as someone who is still somewhat of a beginner in editing: are there any actually useful AI features, auto-cut tools, or other workflow improvements that I might be missing out on without realizing it?

I’m trying to improve and I’m mainly asking this because I want to know if my current approach is too raw/rudimentary by doing literally everything manually. Maybe there are tools, applications, or AI/direct editing features that serious creators actually use and that genuinely help without hurting quality, and I simply don’t know about them yet.

Hi All,

I am trying to create Raga music and Psychedelic Indian Classical music from Suno Ai to upload it on Youtube. I have seen many other youtubers doing same but their music feels so smooth and original. They are too AI generated. But when I do the same from Suno AI (paid) ,using prompts from Claude pro it sounds so repetitive and unwanted vocals in the audios. Can anyone please help any other AI music generator or how can I improve the performance in the Suno AI

Hello, I am new to YouTube automation and I have a couple of questions. First of all I have a TikTok account that I bought that has 10 K followers it has it is USA account and age is over 18 so I just need one more goal before I start making money, which is to get the 100 K views in the past month second of all my second question is are there any free AI generators that are good that you guys use and my third question any niche recommendations?
