I used a video AI tool to generate the video. I made the music. It took me most of my 1200 credits to get the model to do what I wanted—sort of. It took two days to assemble this, and I’m still unhappy with the dialog. In comparison, I took about a day to do my last video post using stock footage. 

Here are the takeaways:

1. It cost me $10 for 1200 credits; it took 30 credits to make a 5-second video.
2. Some things it never could generate. The model blowing a kiss to the camera made her vape. I altered the prompt to say, “Blow a kiss to the camera, “she brought a camera lens, wearing sunglasses up to her mouth, and kissed it. I altered the prompt again to say blow a kiss to me (the viewer), and she gave a very erotic kiss to a woman who walked up to her on the street.
3. The AI tool wouldn’t allow me to use a short video of the model turning right and then looking back over her shoulder, citing it was inappropriate. Really, you create a scene where she molests a woman’s mouth with her tongue on the street, but this is inappropriate? What happens if you’re making a horror movie trailer?
4. The text-to-voice feature didn’t really speak naturally. Using punctuation did help, but guess what? There was more rendering and credit burning. 
5. Your videos must be short (5 or 8 seconds with the tool I used). Tools are getting better but it will cost you.

In short, AI is good for the following:

• Better results than Google for search. 
• A good starting point when you’re staring at a blank page. 
• If you are not working with a brand identity or style guidelines, you can use AI for quick graphics and short videos for Social Media.
• Commenting computer code. I used this on code I did years ago and forgot what the code did.
• Coding, but you better check it. I suggest you add a comment code to your programming prompt.
