How to Create AI-Generated Videos with Thousands of Views

Lucifer · December 29, 2023

A few days ago, while scrolling through Instagram, I noticed some posts with incredibly high engagement. Upon closer inspection, I realized these images and videos were AI-generated, yet they were garnering tens of thousands of views.

Curious, I visited the poster's profile and was amazed to find they had amassed over 10,000 followers, primarily through AI-generated images. Each image they posted received tens of thousands of views, indicating that they were likely earning a few thousand dollars a month from this account.

So, how are these types of images or videos created? It's quite simple. If you want to generate similar content, start by collecting screenshots of popular videos and save them on your local computer. Gather several for a good variety.

Next, open Midjourney and type "/", then select "describe". Upload the screenshots you saved earlier and send them off. You can send all the images you saved to Midjourney, but remember to re-enter "/" and select "describe" each time.

Now, each image will be assigned descriptive words. Let's generate and see. Click on the number to bring up a popup, then change the aspect ratio to 16:9 and submit. Repeat this process for each image to see which descriptive word yields the best visual result.

Once you find an image you like, click "Open in browser" and right-click to download the image. If you prefer using a free tool, try Leonardo for image generation. It offers 150 tokens daily, which is more than enough for creating images.

If your AI-generated image needs Photoshop editing, use a free tool like Photopea for enhancements. For example, if a window in your image is obscured by a tree, you can use Photopea's lasso tool to remove it. If you want to add snowflakes to the house in your image, simply search for "snow-covered roof" on a search engine, choose an image you like, and drag it into Midjourney to generate descriptive words.

Now, open your video editor and drag the edited room image and the snow scene onto the timeline. Place the snow scene below the house image, so the snow appears outside the window.

If you need a snowfall effect outside the window, search for "snow green screen" on YouTube. Choose a video longer than one hour to avoid repetitive editing. After downloading, drag it onto the timeline.

At this point, you need to remove the green screen. Select chroma key, use the color picker to select the green area, increase the intensity, and rearrange the layers. And there you go!
