this YouTube channel started Less Than 3 months ago and has posted only 31 videos uh yet it has already gained over 1. 3 million views which is just insane if we take a closer look at their Channel all they do is post AI generated films like Panavision AI films which are ridiculously easy to make if you check their stats on social blade you'll see that even though they're a brand new channel they're already monetized and earning nearly $3,000 every month which is crazy because we could literally replicate every single video on their Channel using just completely free AI tools now initially I just thought they got lucky so I did some more digging my team and I searched further and we found dozens of channels doing this exact same thing racking up thousands even millions of views check out this other channel called AI flick nips it started less than a year ago and already has 12 million views from just 81 videos they've also gained 50,000 subscribers which is absolutely mindblowing they're doing the same thing using AI to replicate and create Panavision style films these Panavision style films aren't even that long usually about 1 minute and they don't have super high quality yet most of their videos have surpassed 1 million views and one of them has even crossed 2. 7 million views which is just crazy this clearly shows that this Niche is still highly in demand and Incredibly profitable here's the video my team and I created replicating the exact method these other channels use long ago in a world failed by time a dark lord forged a weapon of unimaginable power called the One Ring the One Ring wasn't just a trinket it was a curse a whispering shadow that hungered for dominion over all for ages it lay hidden it's evil seeping into history by cruel twist of fate the ring ended up with froto baggin a simple Hobbit he had lived a peaceful life in the Shire surrounded by friends laughter and Rolling Green Hills but everything changed when the ring came to him it was filled with evil and it made the world around him feel darker and more dangerous froto didn't face this challenge alone he joined a group of unlikely friends Brave Fighters a wise Wizard and others who called themselves The Fellowship of the Ring their mission was terrifying to take this cursed ring into Mordor a terrible land of fire darkness and danger and destroy it the journey was like living in a nightmare I created that video using completely free AI tools and in this tutorial I'm going to guide you step by step through the entire process of starting and automating a channel like this from scratch we'll cover everything literally every single step I'll guide you through creating your own channel in the movie Niche including designing a professionall looking banner and logo I'll show you how to create your first video generate all your assets visuals music everything using only free AI Tools Plus I'll include a free editing tutorial and teach you how to make amazing eye-catching thumbnails if that sounds exciting make sure to hit the like button so without wasting any more time let us begin the tutorial the first thing we're going to do is create a movie themed Channel if you've already got this part covered feel free to skip ahead using the timestamps below this section is optional and is for those who need help setting up a niche theme Channel and designing a fitted Banner or logo if you're good to go just jump to the next part using the time stamps now you can use any chapot you like to come up with a name for your channel personally I prefer using chat GPT but the choice is yours it's not about which chapot is the best it's all about how well you prompt it if you know how to give clear prompts your chapot will do a great job for example I'll ask GPT to help me brainstorm a few catchy names for a movie Niche Channel just ask your chatot and it should come up with some great ideas for you great chat PT just came up with some catchy names but one thing I always do before creating my channel is check if other channels are already using the name I've chosen it's important to pick a name that stands out and you should do the same a unique name will help your channel stand out and be more memorable great it looks like storyline synth hasn't been taken so we're going to use that name to create the channel nice now that the channel has been created the next step is to let chat GPT know the name you've chosen in storyline synth by doing this it can use the name to help further customize your channel and provide more tailored suggestions for things like branding and content ideas now I'm currently asking it to come up with a detailed and catchy 100-word description for the channel we're creating next we'll customize the channel I'll copy and paste the description and then we'll move on to creating the banner and logo for the banner and logo I'll use a text to image AI to generate the visuals I need you can choose any text to image AI you like there are plenty of options like Leonardo mid journey and idram to name a few for today's video I'm going to use idig which offers free credits about 10 allowing you to generate up to 40 images per day for free I'm going to ask chat GPT to give me a series of 40w prompts that I can use with a text to image AI to generate a logo for the channel we're working on uh from what I found IDR AI handles text based visuals the best so it's probably the best tool to use for creating logo visuals when creating your logo on ideogram make sure to choose the 101 ratio this is the ideal Square format for YouTube logos as if fit perfectly in the space provided for channel logos IDR typically generates stunning and impressive visuals so if you're happy with the results simply download the visuals if you'd like to see more options you can hit the regenerate button and then download the new images I'm pretty satisfied with the logo results now I'm going to generate the banner image the only change I'll make is switching from the 101 Square ratio to the 169 rectangular ratio as that's the proper ratio for YouTube banners you can either ask chat GPT for different prompts for the banner image or just reuse the one it provided earlier it's up to you personally I'm going to reuse the previous prompt since I like the visuals that [Music] generated this looks great I'm going to download the image but I won't upload it directly just yet because YouTube will stretch it out which could hide important details and make it look distorted instead I'll use a banner template to resize it ensuring it displays properly on both mobile and desktop devices you'll see what I mean in just a minute if you're getting into the content business canva is a musthave it's beginner friendly easy to use and offers pre-built templates which are super helpful canva is mostly free although some effects are part of the Pro Plan but the free version has a wide range of options I'm going to use canva to resize the banner image to make it fit better just search for a YouTube Banner in the canvas search bar then click on a blank template to get started now here's the tricky part I have a banner template that shows what mobile devices and desktop users will see the template has specified lines that show where to fit your image I'll make sure the important parts of the image are inside those lines to ensure it looks good on both desktop and mobile devices this way I can make sure people on both platforms see what I want them to I'll start by uploading the banner image I want to use in my personal Banner template I'll set the banner template as the background and then crop the banner image I made with ideogram AI to fit within the lines if you'd like a copy of the banner template just let me know I'd be happy to share it in the banner template the red area is where your most important information should go because that's what people on mobile devices will see make sure to crop your your banner image so all the key details fit within the red lines the white areas around the red lines are visible to people using desktop devices now I'll drag and drop my banner image on top of the template place it right above the banner template and crop it to fit within the red lines then I might add stretched versions of the image to the edges to make sure everything is filled and looks complete [Music] now I will copy the banner image and paste it along the edges to stretch it out ensuring all the lines in the template are filled properly this will make sure the design fits perfectly within the visible areas for both desktop and mobile users [Music] oh [Music] great this looks much better now people on both desktop and mobile devices will see the banner exactly the way we want just download the updated Banner image go to your Channel's customization area and upload it to complete the process now I'm going to upload the banner I created with canva and the logo I made with IDE great now that we've created the movie themed Channel and updated it with a logo and banner the next step is to make our first video the first thing we need is a script and I'm going to ask chat PT to create one based off the movie Lord of the Rings prompting is absolutely crucial when making videos because with the right prompts your chatbot can generate amazing high quality Marvel level scripts the prompts I'm giving chat gbt are a bit complex so I'll display them above feel free to take a quick screenshot if you need to or just ask me in the comments below if you'd like a [Music] copy great the script is ready and it's done a fantastic job personally I like to go the extra mile by asking it to paraphrase the script using everyday language and increase the suspense and tension however if the first draft works for you that's perfectly fine if you'd like adjustments or want to explore other options with the script just ask it's Ai and it's here to help you now that we have a script we'll need a free yet high quality voice over many people use 11 Labs which is fine but it does have limitations if you like 11 Labs that's great but I have a completely free alternative that allows you to generate up to 10 hours of voiceover for free it's called Microsoft clipchamp and it provides various voice options for you to choose from it's 100% free and an excellent option for limited voiceovers all you need to do is copy your script from chat GPT and head over to Microsoft clipchamp then click on the text to speech feature you can scroll through the hundreds of voice options to find the one that fits your project best personally I like using Ava because her voice has a narrative storytelling tone that works well choose any voice you prefer paste your script preview how it sounds and Export it it's that that simple while the voiceover files are exported in video format don't worry you can easily handle that during editing in cap cut now that we have the script and voiceover ready the next step is to create visuals to complement the voiceover in the background to do this we'll craft a set of prompts that match the narrative we'll use these prompts with a text to video AI to generate visuals that align perfectly with the story for this we'll ask chat GPT to help us us create the prompts once you provide chat gbt with the prompts the next step is to copy the script it gave you earlier or any script you're working with and paste it back into chat gbt it will then Supply you with a series of text to video prompts that you can use to generate scenes for your movie now that we have all the prompts we're ready to generate the videos needed for the movie there are several text to video tools you can choose from and the options are endless you have plenty of choices to find the one that best suits your needs but before we move on if you're enjoying the course so far be sure to hit the like button it

for the video generator you could use tools like Luma ai clling ai or Runway gen 3 it's all up to you however I personally prefer Minimax Halo AI for today's video we'll be using Minimax Halo AI but but feel free to choose whatever works best for you just copy your prompts from chat GPT and paste it into the minia max Halo AI prompt box Minimax Halo AI has an amazing deal where when you sign up you get unlimited generations for the first 3 days this means you can create hundreds of videos during that time even after the 3 Days Are Over they still give you 100 credits daily allowing you to continue downloading free videos from their site mini m generally does a great job with image to video and text to video so I'm not really surprised by the results they're the they're reliable they're uh as you can see they produce good results so just generate all the videos you need for your film and let's move on to the next part of the tutorial if you prefer to generate images first that's completely fine you can create your images and then animate them for today's video I decided to go straight to video generation but if you'd rather start with with images and animate them into videos uh that works just as well now before we edit our video we need a few more things first we'll need some complex sound effects while editing software often comes with built-in sound effects some specific ones suited to your video may need to be downloaded online additionally you'll need soothing background music that complements the type of video You're creating and if you want to take things to the next level consider upscaling your images or videos before editing them up scaling enhances Clarity and quality giving your content a polished professional look which makes it stand out more for complex custom sound effects you can find a wide range on pixabay.
com pixabay offers many free sound effects that are really impressive just search for the type of sound effect you need and you're almost guaranteed to find it there for background music there are plenty of options you can get it from YouTube Studio pixabay. com or other royaltyfree music sites online however in today's video we're trying something a bit different AI generated music we'll use AI to create the music for our project making it feel like almost everything in the video is AI generated it's kind of funny isn't it AI generated music is still relatively new but there are plenty of options to choose from one of the best and most affordable tools is sunno AI which lets you generate up to five tracks daily for free it's pretty cool offering great customization and control making music production feel super easy the key is knowing how to prompt it correctly I covered AI generated music in detail in a previous video so if you want to learn more just click on the next video to dive into it just open your browser and type in Sue no AI you can sign in using your Google account phone number or even a temporary email it's totally up to you once you're signed in don't worry if it seems overwhelming it's pretty straightforward simply click on on the create Tab and it will take you to an interface with a prompt box where you can get started this is the exact prompt I gave to suno AI feel free to take a screenshot if you'd like to save it or you could just leave a comment below after entering the prompt just hit the create button and sunno AI will generate two separate music tracks for you make sure to click on the instrumental button if you want the AI to generate instrumental only tracks which is what we're doing today if you don't click it the AI will automatically add lyrics to the music sunno AI generates your music in less than 30 seconds which is pretty impressive once it's ready all you need to do is download the audio track the last thing I recommend before editing is to upskill all your individual Clips if you started with images it's best to upskill them before animating to enhance their Clarity and quality if you're working with videos directly make sure to upskill each clip before editing to achieve the best results that brings us to Windex video AI this tool offers a wide range of video and image enhancement features along with audio enhancement something many other AI tools don't provide we used to rely on cap Cuts video and image upscaler but since they've discontinued their upscaler feature Windex video AI has become our go-to tool this is what the interface looks like basic and straightforward it includes a video AI upscale ER an image AI upscaler an audio AI enhancer a video converter a URL to video downloader and a screen recorder it's a handy tool really easy to use and has everything you need in one place now let's upscale each of our Clips to enhance their quality and make them look even better it's pretty simple and straightforward I clicked on the AI video enhancer and the interface popped up then I clicked upload and dragged my files from my PC into the interface the tool takes care of the rest on the left side of the screen you'll see options to set the parameters for your upscale you can choose 4K 8K or even 12K it's entirely up to you just select the level of upscale you want then just click the Run button to start the process and save the enhanced file to your PC it's really simple and easy to do for image upscaling the process is almost identical just click on the image AI option upload your image from your PC to the software interface and let it load for a moment then choose the parameters for how you want your image to be upscaled whether it's 3K 4K or another option simply adjust the settings on the left side of the software once you've made all the necessary adjustments and are satisfied with the parameters just hit the Run button to save the upscaled file locally on your device the next step is editing you can use any editing software you prefer but I recommend cap cut start by creating a new project and importing all the materials you'll be working with into your editing Library your videos voiceovers and sound effects remember clipchamp gave us the voiceover in video format so we'll use cap Cuts built-in extract feature to separate the audio from the video file this way we can delete the video and just focus on working with the audio I'm also going to turn off the main track magnet to prevent the clips from sticking to each other and allow more control over their [Music] placement the next step is to increase the volume of the voice over all the way up to make it very loud then I'll import the background music I generated with sunno AI and reduce its volume to about 25 30% so it doesn't overpower the voice over I'm also going to leave a gap at the beginning of the clip so the background music plays first before the voiceover starts this will help build suspense and intensity I'll adjust the voice over so it doesn't start immediately and crop the background music to match the length of the voiceover ensuring it doesn't run too long this step is optional but adding a fade in and Fade Out effect to your background music can be helpful if you want a smoother transition after adjusting everything cropping the background music and voice over to the same length the next step is to start dragging your clips into the timeline in the order they were generated one thing I found really helpful is labeling your Clips right after generating them based on the instructions from chat GPT this makes it much easier to drag the clips into the timeline without having to search for which one goes where if you noticed I didn't place my first clip immediately at the intro instead I shifted it to leave a gap which helps create a hook this Gap is meant to grab attention and build anticipation when I add my first clip I'll sync it with a beat drop so the beat hits right when the clip starts this makes everything feel in sync and Visually engaging the hook helps increase viewer retention encouraging them to watch the motion video for longer after creating your hook start dragging all your clips into the timeline in the order chat GPT generated first scene second scene third scene and so on continue until every single scene is placed throughout the timeline make sure to align each clip on top of the [Music] voiceover once you've aligned all the scenes with the voiceover notice the clips extend beyond the voiceover on the timeline that's a sign they need to be cropped and adjusted to fit the narration perfectly your next step is to crop each scene to match the voiceover this means that whenever the narrative changes the visuals should change too ensuring the video stays in sync with the story being told listen to the audio carefully and trim each clip so it matches is what the voiceover is describing this process might take some time but it's absolutely worth it you can't skip it because it's very important take your time and carefully crop everything to ensure it matches and syncs perfectly with the voiceover the better the sink the better your video will turn out if you noticed I left some gaps by splitting the voice over into two separate sections I just created small pauses between parts of the narration these gaps help the flow of the story feel more natural and ensure it aligns better with the visuals and the overall narrative [Music] if you're enjoying this course so far feel free to hit the like button you can also subscribe to the channel so that you will stay updated whenever I release more free courses [Music] once you've cropped everything to match the voice over narrative the next step is to add transitions transitions are non-negotiable they're essential for film making whether AI generated or real-time Cinema If you're looking to get into film editing or production understanding how to use transitions is crucial they help make the change between scenes appear smoother and more professional you don't have to worry about transitions because cap cut has made it super easy they offer a variety of transition templates and other techniques you just need to drag your chosen transition template between two clips and cap cut will automatically apply it for you you might want to play around with some transitions to get familiar with them for this project I'm using basic transitions like the globe transition the windshift transition and a few others my goal is to make these tutorials as inclusive as possible if you already know how to use transitions feel free to skip ahead to the next section that interests you by using the timestamps below for those who are new to Transitions you can watch this part to learn about different types of transitions I also recommend playing around with them to get more comfortable and familiar with how they work you can use cap cut on both your mobile device and desktop making it super easy to to work [Music] with you might also need to adjust the duration of each transition depending on the specific scenario you're working with this ensures the transitions feel natural and flow well with the rest of the video [Music] once you've added transitions throughout your Clips the next step is to start incorporating sound effects into your videos sound effects are non-negotiable they're even more important than transitions because they help bring your scenes to life they're used in every single piece of Cinema to enhance the overall experience and make it feel more immersive I always recommend downloading all your sound effects from different websites and storing them locally on your PC this way you can easily access them while editing without having to search for them online during the process for the intro the first part of the video is dark so to make it more artistically pleasing I'm going to add a ghost Whispering sound effect that I downloaded from pixabay for this project I will be using sound effects like owl hooting howling wolves and prosze because they create an eerie and ominous atmosphere to enhance the mood of the video which is exactly what we're aiming for I'll also be adding an echo effect to each sound effect to help them blend together and create even more eerie Vibes I'm also going to add a magic likee shine sound effect to every place where I use the glow transition as the glow transition pairs well with the magic sound effect to achieve this particular sound effect you can find it on cap cut by searching for glitch it should give you a list of glitch sound effects to choose [Music] [Music] from for this particular scene I'm going to add a sound effect of people laughing since the scene shows people literally laughing since it Blends well with the seen and feels like the right fit I'm also going to add a fading animation to every sound effect this will help them blend in smoothly when they enter and fade out when they leave [Music] [Music] for the last scene I'm going to add the sound effect of ghosts Whispering again since the voiceover ends almost in the middle of the final clip I'll also apply the Fade Out animation to the last clip to smooth out the ending the last thing you need to do after setting up your entire video is adding captions while captions are optional I believe they're essential the recent versions of cap cut have made it a bit harder to use captions for free if you want to use captions on cap cut with without any restrictions you'll need to get an older version like version 3. 9 or 4.
