I'll use Brainstorm with AI to show you how Cap Cut can help craft a script from

scratch. I click on Brainstorm with AI. Cap Cut asks me to enter an idea or topic for my video. So, let's do something relatable. Top five tips to avoid creator burnout. Because, hey, that's a struggle we all know. I type that in as my brainstorming topic. I hit enter and Caput's AI goes to work. In seconds, I see a mind map appear with several branches of subtopics. It's suggesting things like time management, batch recording, using AI tools to save time. Nice. Those are great points. This brainstorm tool basically helps me outline a well ststructured video. I can click the little AI icons next to each subtopic to generate more ideas on that point or hit the pin icons to select the key points I want to include. It's kind of fun. I'm literally brainstorming with AI assistant. I'll pick a few key tips the AI suggested that I like. Say schedule downtime, leverage automation, and join a creator community. Now that I have my main points pinned, I just click generate script and boom, Cap Cut generates a full script for my video right before my eyes. The script includes an intro, the tips as separate scenes and a conclusion. Honestly, it's pretty good for zero effort. It reads like a decent YouTube narrative with a logical flow. Of course, AI isn't perfect, and you guys know I always preach add in your personal touch. Overhumanized AI text can slip into uncanny valley territory. too slick, not quite natural. No wonder some creators hesitate. In fact, quick pro tip, make sure your opening line absolutely hooks the viewer. The AI gave me a generic intro, so I'm tweaking it to sound more exciting and grabby. You can go further and reduce editing time with a solid prompt strategy. That's exactly why we hammer it inside the generative AI course in AI master membership. Our members already cut their script in time in half, minus the robot vibes there. Much better. A little human touch on top of the AI generated script goes a long way. Overall though, we have a complete script in hand with minimal effort. Love

it. Now that we have our script, Caput basically sets up the video project for us. I click the scenes button. This brings me into the scenes editor where each scene or paragraph of my script is laid out sequentially almost like a storyboard or timeline. Each scene from the script is its own segment. At this point, Cap Cut might have already done some initial automation, splitting the script into captions for each scene, ready for voice over and visuals. Think of this as the foundation. We have text for each part of the video. And now we just need to dress it up with an avatar, voice, footage, etc. And here we'll add all the fun stuff. First up, let's get ourselves a virtual AI presenter. Since

this is a faceless video, I want an AI avatar to appear on screen and deliver these lines for me. Cap's avatar feature makes this super easy. In the AI video maker interface, I click on avatar video. This pulls up a gallery of avatar characters to choose from. They have avatars and categories like trending, casual, professional, etc. Each with a different look and vibe. I'm scrolling through. There's a friendly looking guy in a hoodie, a woman in a suit, even some characters. Let's go with a casual avatar, someone approachable, like a virtual version of me. Instantly, avatar appears in the scene as the presenter. Here's a fullbodied talking avatar. Pretty cool, right now. Caput even lets you create your own avatar from a photo if you want. I could upload a photo of myself and have a digital clone, which is insane. That feature has a limited free usage, so I will save it for another time. For now, our chosen avatar will do the job. Don't worry if your avatar is just standing on a blank background. We'll have visuals and captions around them soon. You can also resize and position the avatar like picturein picture or full screen. I'll keep him in the corner for now while we

add other elements. Next up, let's give our avatar a voice. Cap Cut has text to speech built in so it can convert our script to voice over automatically and we have a bunch of voice styles to choose from. I click on the voice over button the scenes panel or switch to the voice tab. Here I see a list of AI voices, male, female, different accents and languages. There's friendly narrators, energetic promo voices, calm documentary tones, even different languages. If I wanted a Spanish or Hindi voice over, it's all right here. I will preview a couple. Welcome to creating voiceovers. — Uh, one voice sounds upbeat and young. Another sounds like a formal newscaster. Let's go with this voice for example because he sounds pretty natural and confident for our tips video. With the voice selected, I hit apply to all scenes. And just like that, Cap Cut generates the voice over for the entire script scene by scene. Our avatar is now talking. Cap Cut has synced the avatar's lip movements to the voice. Let's play a quick snippet of the video now with voice and avatar to see how it's coming along. — Are you tired of spending hours researching and writing content? You're not alone. But do you worry because today I'm going to ship. — Well, not bad. The voice is clear and the avatar looks like a legit presenter. Sure, it's an AI voice, but a pretty good one. And remember, if you ever want to change the voice, it's as easy as a couple clicks to try a different style. Cap Cut even has an AI voice changer if you want to tweak the tone or add character filters, but that's optional. For now, I'm happy with the voice. Now

let's spice up the visuals. We have a talking avatar, yes, but to keep viewers engaged, we need cutaways, B-roll, maybe some graphics. Cap Cuts AI can handle that, too, thanks to the match media to script feature. This is where it pulls in relevant images or footage to automatically accompany our narration. I go to the scenes panel and click on the media section. Caput gives me a few options for adding visuals to each scene. Generate AI media. This can create AI generated images from text. Think of it like having GBT 4. 0 image generation or midjourney integrated to make specific images if needed match your media. If I had my own video clips or images, I could import them and let Cap Cut fit them into the script's timeline. Match stock media, the easiest for us. Now, Cap Cut will automatically find stock videos and images that match the script content. I choose match stock media. The AI analyzes each scene's text and starts suggesting visuals. For example, my first tip in the script is about researching all night and burning out. Cap Cut might grab a stock video of a tired person at a computer late at night for the tip about scheduling downtime. Maybe it picks a clip of someone relaxing or a calendar graphic. It's shockingly good at finding relevant visuals that align with the script. Normally, I'd search stock libraries for each point I mention, download clips, cut them to fit. Here, the AI just does it. Of course, I can review and replace any clip if I don't like it. Let's say for the use AI tools tip, cap code suggested a generic tech animation, but I prefer screen recording or different graphic. I can manually swap that, but honestly, the suggestions look pretty on point. I will stick with what the AI chose for now. Great. Now, our video has an avatar, presenter, and illustrative footage for each section. What's one

element nearly every engagement video has these days? You've seen those snappy subtitles on Tik Toks and shorts, right? Cap cuts got us covered there, too. It autogenerated captions for a video as soon as we had the script and voice over in place. Because we provided a script, Cap Cut has already turned that into timed subtitles for each scene. If I play through, I see the text appearing in sync as the avatar speaks. No manual transcription needed. But we're not settling for plain white text at the bottom. Nope. Cap Cut offers a bunch of stylized caption templates to make the text pop in the desktop app. These styles are found under the captions or text templates section. Let's pick a style that fits our video's vibe. There are styles with bold colorful fonts, dynamic karaoke- like highlighting, trendy meme text with animations, you name it. For this video about creator tips, let's choose a clean but modern caption style. say big semi-transparent text that appears word by word with a slight bounce. I click that template and

apply it to all our captions. We are nearly finished. The last touch that can really elevate our video is some background music. Caput has a builtin music library full of tracks we can use royalty-free. Categorize by mood and genre. Let's add a little background music to give our videos some energy. I click on the music tab. There's a list of recommended tracks and categories. vlog, inspiration, cinematic, chill, etc. For our upbeat tips video, I'll look under something like inspirational or upbeat and find a track. Oh, here's one. It's got a nice motivating vibe. I hit the plus to add it to the timeline. The music is now under all our scenes playing along with the voice over. I'll quickly adjust the volume of the music track so it's not too loud under the narration. That already sounds more polished. The music adds that final professional touch, making the video feel complete.

You can even do 4K if you want super high quality. Frame rate 30 is fine for this. Format MP4. Then I hit export and let Cap Cut render everything into a final video file. Export is pretty quick. Few minutes for our 3minut video. And done. It's saved to my computer, ready to publish. Cap Cut even gave me an option to upload it directly to platforms like YouTube or Tik Tok, but I can also just manually upload the file. So, here it is, our finished AI generated video. Let's watch a snippet of the final result one more time. — Tip number one, leverage automation for factual data and current information. Automation can be a gamecher. — As you can see, the quality is really good. We've got a well-paced narrative, engaging visuals, even an AI presenter who doesn't stumble on words. And I didn't use any pro editing software or expensive assets, just kept cut and some

creativity. Now, before we wrap up, I promise to show you an extra bonus workflow. We focused on a standard horizontal video, but what about short form content like YouTube shorts, Tik Toks, or Instagram reels? In the AI hub, there's a section for video templates. These are pre-esigned formats for popular short video styles. Think of those trendy meme fact videos, quick listicles, or aesthetic reels. Capkid provides templates where the style, effects, and transitions are already set. All you have to do is slot in your content. Let's say I want to create a 15-second motivational quote video for Instagram. I can pick a template that I like, for example, one with flashy text and music that's trending. I select that template and Cap Cut asks me for a topic or a short script. Maybe I input daily motivation. You got this. And hit create. Caput will autogenerate a short video out of that. It might write a snappy script or use my text, choose some upbeat music, apply the templates, cool animations, and even add a voice over all in one go. Literally one click and I get a finished vertical video with captions, effects, everything matching the style I chose. How crazy is that? And of course, I can tweak it if needed. Maybe change the background video or switch the voice over if I prefer a different vibe. But the heavy lifting is done automatically. This is perfect for quickly generating content for social media. If you have a long video like the one we just made, you could use these templates to repurpose it into a teaser or highlight clip for Tik Tok in seconds. Just rewrite the script or pick a key quote and the AI template does the rest. Basically, you can become a content machine with this. Trust me, in the time it used to take me to edit one video the old way, I can now have a fulllength video and several tailored shorts ready to go.
