How to Automatically Generate AI Videos?

There are several ways to auto-generate AI videos. The easiest way is to set up a video template, and then have an AI tool, such as ChatGPT, DALL·E, or ElevenLabs, generate the content for each video. Depending on your needs, this can be partially or fully automated. Here's a quick rundown.

1
Start with a video template

Templates are the design of an AI-generated video, with placeholders (like texts, images, and audios) that can be mapped through an automated workflow. You could, for example, attach the output of the AI to specific placeholders within your template. This results in unique videos generated by AI.

There are several ready-made templates available, but you'll likely want to design your own. You can do this in the online template editor, which has lots of customization options for text animations and styles.

Choose your automation method

Once your template is ready, there are three ways to automate it:

Using a spreadsheet. This is the easiest way to get started with AI videos. As an example, you could use ChatGPT to generate a list of productivity quotes. The AI's output can then be exported into a spreadsheet, in order for Creatomate to generate a batch of videos for each quote. This approach is ideal for creating a month's worth of social media videos in advance. You'll learn how to do this in this tutorial.
Through a no-code platform like Zapier. This is for when you want to fully automate the process. With Zapier supporting over 6,000 apps, like ChatGPT, DALL·E, and Creatomate, you can build an automated workflow that meets your exact needs. You could, for example, set up a workflow that automatically posts an AI-generated video to social media, complete with voice overs and subtitles. This AI video automation tutorial will help you get started.
Alternatively, you can integrate with Creatomate's API to build an automation workflow completely with code. This is the best choice for generating AI videos using JavaScript, PHP, Ruby, or Python for your own software projects. Get started with our tutorials on how to use ChatGPT to create AI videos, and how to create videos with AI voice overs and animated subtitles.

Automatically generate videos using AI

Creating videos with AI is easy when you have the right tools. Whether you want to create Instagram Stories, TikTok videos, educational content, explainer videos, or any other AI-generated video, Creatomate provides you with the capability and flexibility to implement your ideas.

The above methods are compatible with AI text generators, image generators, video generators, and even speech generation tools. For example, you can use DALL·E to create images for your videos or implement Stable Diffusion to generate video clips. When creating video content for social media, consider adding voiceovers with animated captions. Each AI tool can be used on its own, but if you're really into AI technology, be sure to check out our in-depth tutorial next. It will show you how to automatically create 100% AI-generated videos.

How can I automate AI-generated videos?

Generally speaking, there are three ways to accomplish this. The easiest way is to use a video generation spreadsheet. The process can also be fully automated using a no-code tool like Zapier, or by integrating with the API.

What kind of AI videos can I make?

There's no limit to what kind of AI videos you can generate. Typically, it is used to auto-generate social media videos, educational content, explainer videos, or videos for marketing purposes. You can use AI tools to generate text for your videos (like ChatGPT), images (like DALL·E and Stability AI), voice overs (by ElevenLabs), and automatic subtitles.

How long does it take to set up?

It takes as little as 15 minutes to automate your first AI-generated video, whichever automation approach you choose. The step-by-step tutorials guide you through the process. Take a look at this spreadsheet tutorial, this Zapier tutorial, or this code tutorial to get started in minutes.

What are the best tools to automate AI video creation?

To automate video creation with AI, you'll need an AI tool and a video automation platform. To generate text and image content for your video, OpenAI's ChatGPT, GPT-4, and DALL·E are great choices. If you want to generate voiceovers, we recommend using ElevenLabs. To automatically make the final video, you can use Creatomate. It comes with an online video editor to create exactly the video you're looking for. As Creatomate supports several automation approaches, all with their own advantages, it's great for pretty much any video automation project.
