How to Generate AI Videos in 15 Minutes

Creating videos can be a daunting task, requiring significant time, effort, and resources. Outsourcing video production can take several weeks and cost thousands of dollars, while creating videos yourself requires expensive equipment and extensive knowledge of video editing.

With the advent of AI video generators, however, the entire process can be made more cost-effective, scalable, and less time-consuming. In this blog post, we’ll guide you through the process of creating an AI video using Colossyan Creator, our AI video generator.

By leveraging AI technology, users can create video content at scale and without special skills or equipment. In just 15 minutes, you can have a high-quality video content featuring AI avatars that can easily be updated when your material changes.

So, let's dive into the world of AI video generation and learn how to create AI videos in under 15 minutes using Colossyan.

Step 1: Select a design path

Before starting anything technical, you’ll have to choose a design path to follow. 

There are a few ways to start the whole process when you’re first creating a video. From the drafts page in Colossyan Creator, click “New draft.” You’ll be shown 3 options:

• Start from scratch
• Select template
• Use AI technology to create a design with document to video or prompt to video

Colossyan's document-to-video and prompt-to-video workflows allow users to get their video drafts off the ground with fewer inputs than ever before. If you wish to turn a document to a video, all you need to do is upload your document, select a template, and you're done. Our AI technology will make your information visually engaging from there.

Here's how it works:

Alternatively, you can also import your slide decks or PPT files from the drafts page by selecting:

• Import (this is where you can import a PPT or PDF file)

But if you're a beginner, sometimes video templates are the easiest place to start. Colossyan offers dozens of video templates for different video types, including training videos, marketing videos, explainer videos, video presentations, and more. 

These templates are professionally designed and fully customizable so every element can be edited to your liking. Even if you choose to start from scratch, you’ll still be able to select a template when adding a new scene. 

Step 2: Write a video script

Once you’ve selected the design for your video, you can begin working on your script, which is crucial in creating an engaging video. 

While it may be tempting to simply copy and paste long blocks of text into an AI video generator, we advise against this approach. Instead, take the time to review your text and transform it into a well-crafted video script.

If you plan on using AI avatars in your video, you'll want your script to sound as natural and humanlike as possible. Our 7-step framework for writing a video script is a great resource to help.

Pro tip: Colossyan offers several tools to make the script writing process painless. If you start with the prompt-to-video or document-to-video design paths, then Colossyan will already write your draft script for you, and you can update it from there. Alternatively, our AI script assistant is another great tool to save you hours of tedious writing work.

Step 3: Select an AI avatar

The next step in the process is to select an AI avatar. 

The AI avatar will serve as the narrator or presenter in your video, adding a more personal and human touch to your final product. Colossyan offers over 150 realistic avatars that are based on recordings of real people of all different ages, ethnicities, and professions. You can customize the placement of the avatar within the video to best fit your needs.

At Colossyan, we're constantly expanding our avatar collection and adding new features. See for yourself:

To add an AI avatar in Colossyan Creator, simply click on 'Actor' in the top panel of the video canvas and select the avatar you want to use. From there, you can adjust the framing, position, and size of the avatar to create a polished and professional final product.

Step 4: Use text-to-speech technology for professional voiceovers

In this exciting step, we leverage the power of AI to create professional-grade voiceovers using text-to-speech technology. 

The process is simple: copy and paste your video script into the designated script box, slide by slide. Within seconds, your script will be transformed into a high-quality AI voiceover. 

Our system automatically selects the language based on the text, but you have the option to modify it and select the perfect accent, dialect, and voice style. Our text-to-speech technology is highly advanced, meaning you are free to make adjustments to the narration, such as correcting mispronunciations, adding pauses and emphasis, and more. 

You also have the option of automatically translating your AI voiceover into over 70 languages using Colossyan, allowing you to create multiple language variants of your videos without having to change the content at all.

Step 5: Edit the video

‍Colossyan Creator has everything you need to create a visually striking video, even if you have no previous video editing skills or experience.

You can add several elements to your AI video all from within the application:

• Upload your own images or choose from thousands of stock photos and videos 
• Upload background videos or screen recordings 
• Select or upload background music 
• Create shapes 
• Add text on screen 
• Add animations, transitions, GIFs, icons, and logos. 

Step 6: Generate your video

Congratulations! You’ve successfully created an engaging video using AI technology. Now it's time to generate the video by clicking the “Generate” button. Colossyan's advanced AI algorithms will perform their magic and create a high-quality video for you.

After the video has passed through our rigorous algorithm and content moderation process, you will be able to view, share, download, or embed it. If you’re impressed with the outcome, you can even duplicate it or create a video template from it, allowing you to create similar videos with ease in the future.
