hey yo it's aireless welcome back to the channel in this video I'm going to share five text to video AI generators and creators that help you create videos quickly and easily for social media such as Instagram Tick Tock even YouTube or you could even use these tools to create your promo videos for your business essentially these AI video creators will be able to convert your text it could be an article it could be your blog post it could be text that you generate using chat GPT or whatnot and th
en find suitable stock videos and images that will basically be related to the text that you import so with that said let's run through the first tool which is called Lucas AI Video Creator at the moment this tool is free and you can generate up to 15 videos you get 15 credits and then that's it there's no way to actually buy or pay for credits or use of Lucas at the moment since it is a research project the difference between this and the other tools that I'll be mentioning in this video is tha
t it's chat prompts powered you simply chat to the AI and then it will generate based on your text as you can see with this example so create a social media ad for my donut shop with that percentage of 10 off that is and then it'll generate that video to use this tool simply click on try it for free continue with your Google account and right here is where you can start entering your prompt or what video you'd like the AI to create if you'd like to see some examples you can take a look at some o
f these but in this case we've got the artemou video creator and Lucas is the I guess the founder or developer and all you need to do is just enter your prompt where the chat field is let's say we want to generate a 15 second clip about AI so let's enter and see what happens all right so it says great idea and the title that it's come up with is the AI Revolution a 15 second video showcasing how AI is changing the way we live and then we can now generate the video so we'll click that once and no
w it's completed processing the videos and we've got four to select from and you can preview one by simply clicking on any I'll click on this here artificial intelligence is changing the World As We Know It [Music] transforming industries from Healthcare to finance foreign medical diagnosis helping doctors detect diseases earlier and more accurately as you saw there it's basically it came up with the stock videos it also came up with a suitable soundtrack for it which you do not you'd need to us
e if you don't want to it's optional in addition what it has done is convert the text into speech or Voice using an AI voice Furthermore with this tool you can edit the video and then this right pane will come up with the different scenes you can change the media if it's not related sometimes it happens and we're not there yet at the stage where the AI can get the Perfect Image or the perfect stock video but you can fine tune it and change the text if you'd like if it seems too long you can summ
arize it little more you can even change the color palette and the narrator as well as the emotion that you want to evoke in this video and once you're done you can download the video by clicking on download video Watermark free so it's free without any watermarks and you're given 15 credits videos are stored on their server for up to 30 days and then it gets deleted so that's something to note all right next up the second text to video generator tool is called picture right off the bat the pric
ing is not free there is a free trial however just like the rest of the tools that I'll be mentioning in this video you can generate up to three video projects and each of up to 10 minutes long and then that's it so most of these tools and the rest of these tools I'll be mentioning do have some sort of free trial or free use but there will be some sort of Watermark or like a end screen with their credit to the actual uh brand but that's typical considering it is a video service where they need t
o store your videos somewhere and that takes up a lot of storage so therefore it needs that running costs picture is more advanced so if you want more flexibility then this is a great tool and in fact I've tried out all the tools and in this in my opinion is one of the best so you're given tools such as script to video where you can convert any script or text into a video you can also convert existing articles from the web hopefully that I'll be yours with your own copyright right so edit videos
using text as well and then visuals to video which is basically full flexibility in terms of how you want to create your videos but what we're going to do is use the script to video option and proceed and this is where you start entering your video name and then your script what you want to include in your video I've entered this very short text and it's about six tips to avoid burnout couple of options to highlight here include scene settings where you can Auto highlight keywords that you want
to emphasize so that you're letting the AI know what's important and what's not so this will automatically do it for you you can also manually highlight so let's say you want burnout to be an emphasis you click on the Highlight option and then that will help AI find better visuals related to this particular word you can also create new scenes based on sentence breaks where you're breaking up the sentences or based on line breaks or both which I've entered the next step is to choose a template f
rom its Library you can choose depending on the kind of look you want so focus more on how you want the captions to look and perhaps the colors too don't Focus so much on the actual background because it's going to automatically select an appropriate you know stock videos for you I like this one here called memory I think it's quite suitable for this topic I'll click on select you then choose an aspect ratio I'm going to choose 16 9 for YouTube videos and then you'll be brought to the editing mo
de where you can change the different scenes in sections and go into each of these scenes changing and editing any of the text if you'd like to or you can even change the background or stock videos it kind of looks works like canva and in this way where you can change the elements and the visuals too so quite Advanced there okay now here is a preview without me having to edit anything I didn't make any changes at all so it's all based on the text that I entered [Music] thank you [Music] so it's
not too bad it found related stock videos to use and you can always go into any of the scenes and let's say you don't like the first scenes stock video you click that and then you go to visuals go to library and then choose a different video like this one here and now that has reflected in addition what you can do is go into audio and there's an option to add an AI voice so voice over and then choosing one of the voice you know accents and the different genders that you can select from so it's p
retty cool moving on the next tool is called wave dot video I like the interface the ux and the colors that they use and everything but sometimes what it generates is hit and miss and you'll see later on just like picture there is a free option but in this case there's 15 minutes with Watermark after you sign up this is what it looks like and to start creating your video hover over the create button and there are a couple of options we've got a blank video so starting with the blank canvas you c
an start with the blank image video recording generate video with AI which is what we are going to do from text we've also got from blog post you can also start browsing by templates stock assets and import videos from YouTube and Instagram too let's go ahead and generate video with AI from text enter your video title at the top here and it's saying up to 60 characters works best then you paste in your text here up to 50 000 characters I'm just going to use the burnout example once again and dow
n below it says as text formatting hints now it's saying insert line breaks to divide the text so that it's broken up more or you can use empty lines like these for next visuals so it'll find another visual based on the paragraphs right and the text of course so that's a little tip there and what you can also do is select between all stock assets meaning paid ones and also free ones if you want preferably free stock videos then you simply select preferably free then choose an audio mood because
we are going to be posting let's say on Instagram or on YouTube it's best to select your own music or ones that you have rights to but if we are going to harness the power of trendy music on Instagram or Tick Tock then you want to make sure you use those kind of background music as opposed to the audio that it does generate now we're going to choose a format and style for our video do you want a horizontal kind of video or do you want Square to post on let's say Facebook or LinkedIn then you you
've got vertical and for Instagram Tick Tock or stories as well let's go with horizontal and choose one of the templates there's not a broad range here you can see there's quite limited range let's choose this one here very plain and simple and right off the bat this is what it currently looks like and we've got text that is kind of broken it up right we've got a void burnout which should actually be in one line at least for this word and we've got this video or also kind of like a an image of a
frog so I'm not exactly sure where this comes about in terms of this topic right the next scene shows some goats and again I'm not sure how this came about but what you can do by simply deleting it then you can insert your own stock images or search from its Library let's say burnout and then insert it wave.video has got this track as well where we can also cut and shorten some of the scenes if we'd like to do that or add transitions in between so adding cool effects like Circle Arc entrance sw
ipes so feel free to play around with all that let's play one of the scenes I'll play prioritize time management since we've got a more appropriate image or video right here let's play it and that's it again another unrelated image that we've got here by given full flexibility in terms of editing each of the scenes including shorting it or deleting anything you want changing the different layouts as you can see we've got different texts as well that you can add to the scenes we've got watermarks
we've got audio tracks that we can use even captions too there's a storyboard you can also use the enhancer tool so in terms of the audio but overall again I like the interface of wave.video just because it's really easy to use the next tool is called lumen5 which in my opinion is one of the more established ones out of all the tools that I mentioned in this video and it's geared more towards corporates and you know those professionals as you can see with the people that have actually used lume
n5 in terms of the pricing there are a few plans here I'm not going to go through all of them you can take a look at it yourself the bottom you'll see the community plan which is basically free there will be a watermark once again and you're only able to export 720p videos but the way it works is pretty simple you click on new video select from one of the professionally designed templates which is what I love about lumen5 it looks like they've put in a lot of effort to these templates you can pr
eview the template also choosing a format so you need to know whether you want a landscape or Square portrait or 916 kind of format so let's choose the 16 9 which is YouTube size and we'll click on use this template and here we're in the editor on the story tab you can add a URL this could be a a link to your article your blog post and then it'll automatically import that and populate it right here including the scenes however you can go ahead and enter your own script by simply typing it out or
pasting it right here I'll paste my script in which is the six tips to avoid burnout article and then what we can do down the bottom where it says use AI to generate a summary we can use this or we can use every sentence in the story as part of the video I'll just stick to the use AI to generate a summary and it is in beta so that's something to note let's now convert the video and now the AI has generated the video you can see the title page six tips to avoid burnout then we've got the next sc
ene burnout is comment among those facing excessive stress and here are six tips to avoid so number one number two three four five not really going with the actual list here seven it's not really linked there so a couple of Errors right off the bat but I am really liking the scenes that it has selected and the color and The Branding that it has implemented based on the template that I originally selected however lumen5 does make it really easy to customize by simply selecting an element and then
we can edit it individually or we can go to the left and take a look at media that we want to add we can take a look at the library by searching it we can select different music as well and the stalling different colors color palettes you can also change the format right here if you want to add new scenes just click the plus button that'll add a new scene in between whichever that you want if you want to add a voiceover simply record your voice by clicking record voiceover that will start playi
ng it and then you can use your mic to voice over the video let's give this video a quick preview I haven't edited or changed anything so let's see what it has produced so you get the idea there at the end of the video you'll see the lumen5 credit scene which is showing make your own video with lumen5.com so that's the drawback of using Lumen 5's free trial option but what I like about lumen5 is that it actually keeps the scenes consistent in terms of the templates and it's really easy to use we
can individually go into each of the scenes and turn any of the lengthen or shorten each of the scenes depending how long you want it and what's on the actual scene all right the last and final tool is from in video they've got a text to video generator as well it'll not only convert your text to video you can also transform blogs to videos and there's AI powered voiceovers that you can add and a number of templates to choose from in terms of its pricing there is a free option but there will be
a watermark on your videos these steps are very similar to the previous tools I've already covered so I already entered my text and what it's done is it's broken down the text into different scenes and as you can see this is what it's produced not all of the scenes once again is related to the text for example here we've got burnout but it thinks it's it means car burnouts but of course we don't mean that but either way you can go to any of the scenes and let's say change this video to a differ
ent one we can go into videos search for Burnout and let's say we like this one here we can simply drag the media over add it to the scene I'll delete the original now we've got a new stock video for this particular scene a few other things on the left include adding images you can also add your own music different texts as well and this does kind of remind me of canva so it's good in that way where if you're familiar with cover then you can use in video too another cool feature of in videos tha
t you can go to the editor mode and then also cut individual areas of the scenes just like you would in any video editing tool there's also a collaboration option where you can collaborate with other team members or let's say you've got clients or you work with someone in the team and let's say at 11 seconds you want to change video here and then when you press enter that'll time code it automatically and add your comments so then that video editor knows to change this at this particular time co
de but once you're ready to download your video Simply go to download and then you can select the 720p option if you're on the free plan all right and those are the five text to video AI generators if you were to ask me which of the five I would use it would have to be Pick 3 just because it produced better results when I entered and pasted in my text it came up with better more related stock videos to use for me that would require less work in terms of finding an appropriate video for the diffe
rent scenes it's not only easy to use but it also processed the video quite fast compared to some of the others but it's only going to get better and better as time progresses and with the advancement of AI but I'd love to know out of the five tools which ones you'll be using or giving a try let me know in the comments thanks so much for watching and hope this helps you create text to videos I'll leave up a couple of relevant videos for you to watch next but for now take care and I'll see you in
the next one

@TimDawes

This is a GREAT comparison video. So many video makers spend too much time on intros. You get right into the products. And you point out key differences and make recommendations. Really useful. Thank you, Aurelius.

@ContinualShiftwithDaveRogers

Thank you for the review Aurelius - greatly appreciate your professionalism and experience. So far Lumen 5 has been my favourite for short videos to include in short presentations and encourage ideation in the teaching, training and educational fields

@HannahontheRocks

Aurelius, have you considered incorporating a talking avatar into Lumen5 for professional videos? is this option available in Lumen 5? How do you usually approach enhancing your video content with such features? I appreciate your insights on this!

@aimattant

Great video - love it. You compared the AI video automation tools well. Can I ask, what AI tool are you using to get the rectangle webcam effect in your video footage?

@myadvisor

I use Pictory and - despite pricey- does a good job. Unfortunately it doesn’t understand Greek so the selection is done manually. But it seems that the creators are dedicated to constant improvement, which is nice to see. One missed - not mentioned- advantage of Pictory is that it provides the library of Storyblocks which is a paid library and not free. If someone is serious about B-role footage, I think Pictory is great, especially combined with another video editor to “polish” the generated video.

@katiebartnett3229

Great video. I always enjoy your presentations. Question: How did you get the video of you in the video to look like a rectangle with the light going around it? I'm going to try Pictory.

@Vincentianbeauty

Pictory has blown my mind - at 61 so glad with your encouragement I did not bury my head in the sand when it comes to learning new skills and AI - thank you for bringing into my personal space so much of what is happening out in the world, for doing the hard work generating and sharing your videos - I am so excited to learn new skills and what the future holds.

@RohitRaj-fy3xe

Very helpful, Lumen5 is cool. Have you tried to incorporate Vocs AI for speech to speech voiceovers ? is it easy to add to the video?

@AnyWhereBetterJapan

I just subscribed by tapping the button. I visited your website and I must say it was truly impressive and outstanding. Currently, I'm in the process of researching materials for starting an online business. Your content and explanations really left an impression on me. I appreciate the honest and objective opinions you provide. I'm eager to learn more and truly hope to find the best ways to get started. Although I'm currently working in Japan, I'm planning to change my direction and venture into something new. It won't be easy as I have to balance it with my current job, but I'm determined to keep trying. When I checked your website, I felt a strong attraction to various aspects, including the diverse content you offer, your business insights, and your thoughts on life and personal experiences. By the way, what are your thoughts on Synthesia AI creator tool? It seems like a great tool for creating instructional videos and appears to be user-friendly, but the prices seem quite high. Thank you, and I look forward to the future.

@RexCarla

Thanks for review these tools! I am struggling about which one to choose to make my workload minimal, paying for AI voiceover, video materials, and video editing software are too much. Currently I am using Wondershare Filmora 12 with limited materials.

@michaeldavidson2290

@AureliusTjin thanks for the video. We are looking to create short technical training videos for our team and I would appreciate your thoughts on whether any of these are well suited to adding short video recordings of the how to portions we capture.

@jmjdeist

Nice video. But PLEASE talk about the limitations to the free versions of these (number of videos, length, watermark, etc) more and the cost and limitations to paid versions

@theimprovist4158

Hi Aurelius, Awesome as always so far Lumen AI gets the job done. Also, do you know any software or app that can translate entire Pdfs in other languages? So far, some of them I tried dont translate huge PDF files embedded with images

@Thisismichaelsolar

When it comes to time efficiency, which software would be best to capture a stock video to go with the description through voice recording?

@firassarif4388

Thanks for the comparison, it helps a lot!  Is it generally legal to use the results generated for the own purposes? For example take the result and put it on the own channel for the public?

@charleshaddock4426

Awesome comparison video, it saved me a lot of time! What video recording software do you use to get that effect around your facecam?

@Mscabal1

Thanks a lot for this video. I have a question but I am so new in your channel that you might have already made a video explaining it. My question is, what tool/ screen recorder do you use to record your videos? I like the way your image is framed. If you have already recorded a video tutorial explaining it , can you please provide me with the link? Thanks in advance!

@captaincruizer

I'm more interested in how you made this video. do you have a tutorial on it? what programs you use and the complete set up including your microphones and videos. That would truly be helpful. Thank you so much.
