This AI Editing Hack Saves Me HOURS

Matt Wolfe

A content creator explains their process for making AI-generated video intros using Leonardo, Kling Video 3.0, VO 3.1, and Runway ML. They film themselves in two positions, export still frames, and use AI video generation with text prompts to create transitional intro sequences.

Summary

The speaker addresses what they describe as the most common question they receive: how they create their AI-generated video intros. They showcase several examples of their intros, including one where a claw picks them up from a corner and moves them to their chair. The creator's workflow begins with filming themselves in a starting position (like sitting in a corner) and then moving to their normal recording position. They use DaVinci Resolve to edit the footage and export still frames - one showing the empty space when they're off-camera, and another showing them in their final position just before they start talking. These still frames serve as the start and end points for AI video generation. The actual video generation happens primarily in Leonardo AI, where they input the two frames and write descriptive prompts like 'claw comes down from the ceiling and picks up the person in the bottom right corner and moves them over and sets them down in the chair.' They experiment with multiple AI models including Kling Video 3.0 and VO 3.1, both of which generate audio automatically that they typically keep. If these don't produce satisfactory results, they move to Runway ML as a backup option, which offers Seed Dance 2.0 as another video generation model. The final step involves placing the generated intro sequence at the beginning of their main video content.

Key Insights

  • The creator identifies intro generation as the most frequently asked question from their audience
  • The workflow involves filming in two positions then using AI to generate the transition rather than creating the entire sequence manually
  • The creator uses DaVinci Resolve to extract specific still frames that serve as start and end points for AI generation
  • Both Kling Video 3.0 and VO 3.1 automatically generate audio that the creator typically incorporates into the final intro
  • The creator employs a backup strategy using Runway ML with Seed Dance 2.0 when primary AI models don't produce satisfactory results
