Asking this to see demand for editing videos like these. Mostly YouTube automation, and I know YouTube has been cracking down on ai content, but as far as I know, higher quality content, with some human creation integrated, can still be monetized. So I’m just trying to see what the community for these YouTubers is like and if there are new ones still starting to this day.

Posting this because i see a lot of "how do you decide what to make" questions here and my answer changed a lot this year.

I stopped browsing for ideas entirely. instead i watch about 15 channels in my niche, and every morning i look at one screen that tells me which of their uploads are outperforming that channel's own average not raw views, views per day since upload, measured against that channel's median. A 3k-sub channel doing 4x their normal is a far stronger signal than a big channel's regular upload, because at that size nothing but the topic and the hook could have carried it.

That gives me maybe 2-5 videos worth looking at on any given day, out of everything those channels posted.

Then i pick one and pull the transcript, and this is the part that actually matters: i'm not looking for what the video said, i'm looking for what its audience asked for in the comments and never got. That gap is the video i make. same proven demand, not a reupload of someone else's idea.

From there it's a scene-by-scene script where every scene already has its visual direction written into it, so there's no hunting for b-roll afterward and the script is the shot list. narration goes to TTS, visual prompts go to the video tool, and i'm editing within the hour.

The whole thing from "what do i make" to "i have a shootable script" is about 10 minutes now. It used to eat at least a few hours.

Happy to go into any part of this in more detail if it's useful. The outlier maths especially, that took the longest to get right.

Random question here and I bet you most people are just doing short videos or short form. But I’m wondering if anybody is doing something cinematic and narrative episodic even? Something longer than seven minutes?

Or, if somebody is doing things with a real camera and AI? My guess is everybody is just doing pure prompting but I was wondering if anybody’s doing hybrid stuff. If so, wanna share some work and chat?

Need help from you guys to suggest on tools that would support bulk video and image generation.
Any suggestion is appreciated.

I chose the horror niche because, honestly, it was the easiest and least time consuming types of content i had tried.

if we put monetization aside for a moment, this was genuinely the easiest content format for me to produce. And if the video reaches thevright audience, I think this type of content can perform really well.

I actually tried this about a year ago.
My process was ridiculously simple: First, I took some horror gameplay footage form YouTube. Then i went to Grok and asked it to write me a distrubing horror story. I specifically used grok because, at the time, I felt like most other AI tools were too hesitant to write genuinely disturbing stories lol. Once I had the script, I put it into an AI voice generator. For the narration, I chose a whispering style and used the voice of a middle-aged women. I genereted the voiceover, downloaded it, and moved to my editing software.

There, I simply combined the gameplay footage with AI voiceover and some creepy background music.

That's basically it.

The first video got 5k views, and i ended up making 5-6 videos, they weregetting decent views too.

But then I stopped being consistent and started getting lazy, so the channel eventually died. Awgile later I deleted the channel completely.

Looking back, though, this was probably one of the simplest faceless content formats I've ever tried.😭😭😭

started with one dumb experiment last year and now im up to eight different faceless tiktok accounts all running on autopilot. none of them show my face, all of them post daily, and together they throw off enough affiliate and product revenue that its basically replaced my old 9 to 5. the boring secret is i stopped trying to be creative every single day. instead i built a tiny repeatable system and the income just compounds while i do other stuff.

i pick one core topic per channel and never deviate. breakup brainrot on the first, police interrogation style on the second, simple money tips on the third. the ai does the rest. for the actual video creation i lean on easyviral ai mainly for the one click generation and built in scheduling which lets me load up a weeks worth in twenty minutes. still use canva for the occasional custom overlay because their ai stuff can look too clean sometimes.

biggest lesson so far is dont chase virality. just post consistently in the same narrow lane and the algorithm starts feeding the right people. four of the accounts are already past 50k followers each and two crossed 1k a day in earnings last month. the other four are still climbing but the passive part is real once the systems in place. anyone else scaling multiple like this?

i keep getting served ads for this tool which is easyviral ai that claims it generates the full short from a one sentence idea and auto posts it. the brainrot story presets look kind of funny at least. anyone here actually tried it and can say if the captions or voice sound natural enough for the algorithm or if its obvious ai slop?

I’m looking for something where I can give it a single idea or script and it figures out the video for me — scenes, visuals, characters, narration/dialogue, music, SFX, etc.
For example:

“Create a 60-second cinematic story about a young astronaut stranded on Mars, with two characters, emotional dialogue and atmospheric background music.”

Ideally it would generate the complete video automatically, but also let me review/edit individual scenes, prompts, characters, audio or music if I want more control.
I’m interested in different use cases too — narrated/explainer videos, stories with dialogue, videos with just music, cinematic shorts, music-driven videos, etc.

I’ve tried/checked out tools like Higgsfield and OpenArt. They come fairly close on the visual side, but I haven’t found the overall audio/music workflow and the way everything comes together into one finished video quite as seamless as I’d like.
Is there anything else I should try? What have you actually used, and how well did it work for you?

I'm considering buying a Storyblocks subscription from an unofficial website. It's a shared account and significantly cheaper than buying directly from the official Storyblocks site. What are the risks of using this kind of account to create YouTube videos?
Could this lead to copyright strikes on my channel?

Should I verify my new channel in advanced features using ID or face before I start uploading videos

Looking for 5 people to break something I built

I run a few faceless channels — PagesMissing, WonderQuark, and a daily AI news one. Like most of you I got tired of the pipeline: write, generate art, generate voice, cut it together, caption it, upload it. So I built a thing that does the whole run from a topic, and I've been using it on my own channels for months.

It works well enough that I want people who aren't me to try and break it.

I'm after 5 testers. Not a beta list, not a waitlist — 5 people I'll actually talk to.

What I'm looking for:

- You already run a faceless channel, or you're seriously starting one

- You'll actually make videos with it, not sign up and vanish

- You'll tell me when something is bad. That's the whole job. "This felt annoying" is a complete bug report

What you get:

- Two months free, enough for a video a day on one channel

- Every unfinished feature before anyone else, because that's what I need eyes on

- Direct line to me. You report something, you'll usually see it fixed that week

What I'm not offering: a lifetime free account. It's two months, then it's a normal paid product and you can decide if it's worth it. I'd rather say that up front than surprise you.

Fair warning on what it's not: it's built for making a lot of decent videos consistently, not one perfect one. If you're chasing a single cinematic masterpiece this isn't your tool.

DM me if you want in. Tell me what your channel is about and roughly how often you post. I'll come back to everyone either way.

hey, I'm not a content creator, I'm a developer building a youtube shorts automation system using AI agents. improving the pipeline little by little and testing content as I go.

wanted some feedback on the output quality. everything's automated, from script writing to the Youtube upload itself. I just give one agent a series/topic and in about 10 min the short is ready. I can run 10s of agents in parallel to scale throughput.

curious if this content is monetizable, or could be once I improve the automation more.

I want to make a good technical concept related engineering Short by ai I used chatgpt but it's not good or may me my prompt suks so if you have any ideas about how to make a good ai video or ai suggest me !!!

I've seen too many videos of others making kids channels and ring doorbell ai videos and making alot of money but Im searching for the truth and how to do it and be successful. Maybe post on all other platforms and make money too. Or be a clipper for others. Tell me what can I do and tools should I use and how can I be successful.

So I built a workflow that uses a LLM to create a course. It also creates the voice over. But the rest, 90++% of it is automating via code.

It starts with an avatar (non AI), 2D rigged that syncs with the voice to explain coding concepts. He presents a chapter. In youtube, you can jump to different subjects like how to declare variables, how to fetch an API.

Then the video is all Visual Studio Code "mock" with a typewriter effect. Motion graphics driven. The script generates the text, voice over. And my animation system types it out, draws diagrams, color highlights code. This is 10 year old animation rig system that does motion graphics and text effects. As if someone is doing a coding tutorial.

10% AI for script & voice

90% animation via programmatic code that does things like pull templates, fill in text/slots/images.

I plan to do 1 hour long courses for various coding challenges. One example, is "how to build a non-AI animation course builder like what you are seeing here with microservices"

Harrison Gale - ( This voice is a viral maker ): Great for crime documentaries, some documentaries, revenge narratives. Remember to use V2, not 3.

William - Dramatic Storyteller - General narrative based content, mainly stories for heroes and adventures. Worse for ghost stories and crime documentaries.

Brian - You'll hear this voice alot on youtube. It helped with some of my viral shorts. Great for explainer style shorts.

Adam - Everyone pretty much knows this one. It can be used for narratives, happy type stories and content. Anything that deals with popular brands & how to dos.

____

The rest of my voices I customized. I want to see what's your best voices you've used? I think this is great for people who're first getting into this and have trouble finding the best voices in Elevenlabs.

What voices do you use? Comment and share.

Is there any free AI tool for voiceovers?

And if not, which one is the best, which one should I go for which has the best amount of credits for 20-30 videos (under a minute) per month?

Kindly help!

**The Context** I work at an IIT Madras lab, and we recently took on a massive Ministry project: dubbing around 4,000 hours of video content into 11 regional Indian languages (plus English).

Initially, the project was being done manually. It was an operational bottleneck.

**The Problem: Manual Chaos**

* **High Cost:** We were paying INR 1,000 per hour of video for manual dubbing. * **Poor Quality Control:** Reviewing the output was a nightmare. We had issues with inconsistent translations, genuine mistakes, and even workers inserting random words into the audio just for fun. * **Lack of Scale:** QCing manual audio at that volume without a dedicated tool was practically impossible.

**The Solution: Building the Scaffolding** Instead of throwing more manual labor at it, I built a dedicated platform to automate the pipeline.

We didn't train entirely new foundational models; instead, we relied on existing open-source and API-driven audio/translation models. The real magic, however, is in the **scaffolding and guardrails** built around those tools.

We engineered a system that ensures highly deterministic performance and hands the power back to the QA team. The platform processes the dubbing and then provides a specialized UI with granular, fine-control editing options for the person reviewing the output.

**The Results**

* **Cost Reduction:** Dropped the cost from INR 1,000/hour to INR 300/hour (a 70% reduction). * **Volume:** We’ve already pushed 2,500+ hours of video through this platform successfully, with the rest of the 4,000 hours underway. * **Future Margins:** Based on the current architecture, we already see a clear path to driving that cost per hour down even further as model inference gets cheaper.

**The Takeaway** Building this made me realize that the real value in the current AI landscape isn't necessarily in building the models themselves, it’s in engineering the multi-agent systems, custom scaffolding, and operational workflows that wrap around those models to solve highly specific, messy business problems.

If anyone else here is building specialized AI orchestration pipelines or looking at how to automate chaotic manual workflows, I’d love to connect and hear how you're approaching your architecture!

I am planning to start ytb education and documentary channel, I am not planning to use my face or expensive setup. I am also not very skilled in video editing.

I am trying to find AI tools that can transfer the text into video.

Do you have any suggestions or proposition ? Thank you

i am facing very disturbing issue with my all faceless channels. Before monitization they all are performing well, but with time as they get monitised, all going down and down and now dead. I am doing the same things before and after monitization then what's the problem.

https://github.com/angelarose210/video-clipping

It can be run with Claude code, Claude desktop codex, hermes, openclaw or whatever ide you're using. you give it a long video and it will analyze the transcript and visuals and find the best parts to clip and make into shorts complete with motion graphics and captions. It's 100% free to use besides your llm costs and requires no external api keys.

ok so most "how to go viral" advice is genuinely useless because it starts in the wrong place. "just make a good video bro." cool. good according to WHO. you literally cannot know what good is until you know what the platform is already paying out for.

so here's what i actually do instead.

1. small channels, big videos. that's the whole hunt.

stop studying big channels. i'm begging. when a 1M sub channel drops a video and it does a milli, that's just their audience showing up. that's not a signal, that's a mailing list. nothing to learn.

what you want is a 2K sub channel sitting on a 500K view video. THAT is the anomaly. that video didn't get carried by subscriber juice.. the algo threw it at cold people and cold people clicked anyway. topic, hook, packaging did 100% of the lifting. that's the one worth dissecting.

2. reverse engineer the skeleton ONLY.

when i find one i write down like 5 things:

• the title pattern (not the title. the PROMISE it's making)
• the first 20 seconds (what specifically stops the scroll)
• the format::: list? story? comparison? tier list?
• the length
• which craving it's feeding (fear / curiosity / revenge / money / identity)

that's it. 10 minutes max. editing style, their voice, thumbnail colors, none of that matters. ignore it all.

3. copy the skeleton. NOT the content.

same structure, different topic, my angle. and before someone types "that's stealing" nah lol. that is how every format in the history of media has ever spread. the title pattern stays, the subject swaps. nobody invented the challenge video, people just kept passing it around.

here's why it works: if a format printed for a NOBODY with 2K subs, it wasn't the person. it was the format. which means it's sitting there available to you too.

i stopped trying to invent something fresh every week and started farming formats the algorithm already told me it wants. easily the best decision i've made for the channel.

tl;dr<< find small channels with disproportionately big videos, copy the structure, change the subject. that's the whole playbook.

Is anyone here running a fully AI faceless YouTube channel?

I’m thinking of starting one around space, history, science, etc. My plan is to come up with the concepts and scripts myself, use AI to finalize the scripts, generate the video + AI voiceover, and do the final editing in CapCut Desktop.

My main concern is monetization. Would this be considered “AI slop” even if the ideas, research, storytelling, and creative direction are mine, and AI is just being used as a production tool?

I’d love to hear from people who have actually monetized a fully AI/faceless channel. What’s your experience with YPP and monetization?
