Why social media content suits AI video

A feed needs a steady supply of new clips. A sentence per post is a faster way to a fresh visual than searching stock footage, and you can change the sentence to suit each platform.

How to describe the scene

  • One idea per clip, stated in one sentence
  • A mood word that matches your brand: calm, bold, playful, luxurious
  • A camera move that suits the platform, such as a slow push-in for a quote post

An example you can adapt

Example sentence: Steam rising from a coffee cup on a rainy window ledge, cosy morning light.

Sound and camera

  • Music in the style that matches your brand: Social, Fun, Calm or Luxury
  • Vertical 9:16 for Reels, TikTok and Stories; horizontal for LinkedIn and X
  • A voiceover works for tips and announcements

Mistakes to avoid

  • Making each clip look different from your brand: keep light and colour consistent
  • Posting AI video without checking each platform's rules on labelling

Yes. Every Create video has built-in sound: music in ten AI-generated styles, or a voiceover of up to 50 words, which is up to 20 seconds. Lip-sync is available through Talking photo, which makes the face in a photo speak a script of up to about 20 words in 4 or 8 seconds.
