Should you create AI videos with the premium tool VEED.io?

People have spent hours editing clips in video editing apps , but AI video creation promises to skip all that — just describe your idea and you'll have a finished video. So they tried a premium app to see if it could deliver on that promise.

3. Video tutorial

The first thing to try is to create a tutorial explaining depth of field in photography. Start with a basic prompt: "Create a tutorial explaining depth of field."

As expected, the result is not very good. It is quite sketchy and lacks all the necessary details. The author provided more information using a script created with ChatGPT. Veed came up with a slightly better version. However, there is still room for improvement in terms of visuals.

The author has tried both the audio-only version and the model version. Both work well for their intended purpose. However, with some models, the lip syncing sometimes fails. Note that the model videos are only available in portrait mode.

Finally got the video below. It's really impressive. You can't tell it's an AI video right away - every detail is so clear. However, while the video is accurate, it's not really that interesting.

What really stands out about Veed is the variety of languages and accents you can use in your videos. This makes your videos look more authentic and helps you connect better with your audience. The beta version of the tool allows you to film yourself and use your voice in your videos.

You can use AI Script Generator to create scripts. People appreciate the flexibility of being able to experiment with different tones, target audiences, and formats.

2. Presentation video

Teachers often have to create PowerPoint lessons for their students. Many of them plan to start from scratch for their courses. But when they come across the Slides to Video option, they feel like this could be a great way to reuse their presentations and save a lot of time.

You also have a lot of options for your final video, from choosing the right model and voice to the tone and length. The author decided to go with a natural tone, and the video exceeded expectations.

The actual PowerPoint slides are included in the video, but the author used the Summary option to highlight the slides and add more details. This makes the video explain things in more detail. You can also leave it as is to keep the video shorter.

If you want to use a model, you have a variety of options, from professional to casual. This can be useful for a variety of purposes, including corporate briefs and creative YouTube videos . You can also add your logo and personalize your videos.

Note : One caveat is that this tool can only handle presentations with 20 slides or less. I wish this weren't the case since most presentations are longer. Also, the generator doesn't accept Keynote presentations.

1. Promotional video for the course

After creating the videos and content for the course, the author decided to try making an ad for his photography course. The resulting video is the one the author dislikes the most because it's not really an ad. It sounds more like a tutorial, providing information about framing and cameras without promoting the course.

The author expected a more polished video, with a distinct tone for an ad. Of course promoting a course is a bit different than promoting a product, but the AI should have had the right tone.

As a test, the author tried creating an ad for beeswax lip balm, and the results were only marginally better. A condescending tone is not an effective way to attract customers.

The author wrote the script in ChatGPT and tried again. It is much better. The clips and images are generally good, but you have to make sure the script is perfect and includes the necessary information.

While you can save time by using AI-generated clips, it still takes a lot of work to create a professional video using Veed. Switching back and forth between the video maker and script generators or external tools like ChatGPT is cumbersome. It would be nice if the video maker could generate a proper script.

Overall, Veed can be a useful tool for beginners and non-designers who want to create quick videos. It's especially useful if you write your own scripts. The biggest downside is that the AI requires a lot of in-depth prompting and editing. People are used to ChatGPT and Claude reading their minds and delivering flawless results.

An experienced photographer will understand the technical and artistic qualities required in a video. Even if you're not a professional videographer, you should know the basics of video editing. Furthermore, let's say you have access to Premiere Pro as part of your expensive Creative Cloud subscription. With all of this in mind, should you use Veed for your filmmaking needs? The answer is no.

It's easy to see the potential and appreciate how tools like VEED.io are improving the creative industry, making it better and more accessible. But creative professionals want more control. Instead of tweaking your prompts to a tool, you should find royalty-free clips and create videos on demand.

However, it is still a free, effective video editing tool, and many people will continue to use it. Educators and budding creative professionals are also encouraged to use this useful tool.
