By the end of this guide, youâll know exactly how to create your own AI cat videos, post them on YouTube, and start building a channel that could grow into a massive success.
Step 1: Niche Research
Before you jump in, you need to do some research. Take a look at what other AI cat video channels are posting. What stories are they telling? What kinds of backgrounds, effects, or music are they using? The idea here is to see whatâs working and how popular their videos are.
Check out the number of views on each video and see if there are patterns in the types of stories that perform best. This will give you some great inspiration for your own content.
Step 2: Scriptwriting with ChatGPT
Once you know the kind of content you want to create, itâs time to come up with a story. Luckily, you donât have to do this all on your ownâAI can help! Head over to ChatGPT and type in a prompt like this:
“Create a YouTube short about a shy and awkward kitten who is teased for her inability to climb and jump like the other cats. Inspired by ninja movies, she begins secret training, mastering stealthy moves and acrobatics. In the end, she impresses everyone with her new ninja-like abilities, gaining respect and friendship.“
In just a few seconds, ChatGPT will give you a story outline that you can use as the basis for your video. Easy, right?
Step 3: Creating Images using Chat GPT and Leonardo AI
Next, you need visuals for your story, Chat GPT Image to Prompt Converter AI, and Leonardo AI can generate them for you.
First, go to Chat GPT and upload a reference image that represents the style you want for your project. Once the image is uploaded, give Chat GPT a prompt to create a new image for your first scene, asking it to use your uploaded image as a style reference. This way, Chat GPT will generate a new image that closely matches the style and feel of your reference, making it much more accurate and visually similar to what you have in mind.
Another tool we can use to generate images is Leonardo AI. This tool lets you create high-quality images that match the scenes in your script.
First, go to the Leonardo Ai. Click the link in the description to log into Leonardo AI with your Google account. Once youâre in, youâll be taken to the image generation section. Just paste the prompt you got from ChatGPT and hit âGenerate.â The tool will give you four unique images each time.
Leonardo AIâs free version gives you 150 tokens daily, and you can create plenty of images before needing an upgrade.
Once the images are ready, you can enhance their quality using free tools like Fotor, ImageUpscaler, Adobe Photoshop Express, or CapCut.
