Creating videos with AI: Insights

KI Erfahrung von Stephan Czaja (Co-Owner)

Last week, I published the big flagship article on AI in marketing. Today I’m focusing on AI videos and giving you an example project from our agency.

First of all: AI videos need planning, just like “normal” videos that you would shoot for Insta, TikTok, YouTube and co.K

The important thing is: AI videos also need planning. Just because the tools open up new possibilities doesn’t mean that strategy and structure are superfluous. On the contrary: the clearer you know your goal, the better the result will be. Just like with “normal” productions for Instagram, TikTok or YouTube: think first, then shoot – only digitally.

• Planning remains crucial
• AI is no substitute for strategy
• Clearly define goals

Important: You can see my own projects here, which I can talk and write about freely.

Video planning: What are you planning?

Was willst du kommunizieren und wie?

Before you start, you need to know what you actually want to produce. Are you looking for short, funny clips that will go viral or complex explanatory videos with added value? Do you want to work with an AI avatar, a voiceover or use yourself as the avatar? This decision determines the direction. AI is versatile, but the goal determines which tools you choose. It’s like cooking: You can have the best ingredients, but without a recipe, the result will be random.

An editorial plan and a keyword plan are also recommended. The keyword plan ensures that your videos are found for the right search queries – particularly important on YouTube. The editorial plan ensures that you publish regularly and link your videos together. This allows you to build up your reach over time, as viewers jump between clips instead of dropping out after a single viewing. Ideally, you should link the whole thing to your website or e-commerce for active link building.

• Keyword plan for visibility
• Editorial plan for consistency
• Crosslinks for reach

Create shorts & reels

For short formats such as reels or shorts, the combination of the right tools is crucial. ChatGPT for scripts, Midjourney for images, Freepik for design, HeyGen for avatars or Google Veo for videos – the landscape is constantly changing. Every month there are new models, updates, new players.

It is worth regularly testing which tools currently deliver the best results. Those who remain active here have a clear competitive advantage.

The best tools for reels and videos?

Instead of complicated productions, scenes are created with movement, light and realistic animations. For companies, this means faster content, lower costs and new creative possibilities… but what are the best tools for reels and videos?

Our current recommendations:

1. Google Veo 3
2. OpenAI Sora
3. Runway @ Freepik

Remember: Keyword and editorial plan

With good planning – i.e. keyword and editorial plans – scripts and visual processes can be perfectly prepared. Who speaks what? Which scenes will be shown? Which additional elements, such as titles or superimposed texts, increase attention? You can define all of this today before the actual production.

The end result is a video that is not simply “AI content”, but is tailored to your brand. Our own test videos have already generated tens of thousands of views on YouTube in the beta model – not because AI is magical, but because we put 80% of the work into planning before we fired up the tools.

• Combining the right tools
• Plan visual processes in advance
• Quality comes from preparation

Example: Short explainer video with 20k views

Example: Explain infographics

Example: Info-Tainment “Before and after effect”

Explainer videos and long formats

Many people think that AI is only suitable for short clips. The opposite is true. Long formats such as explanatory videos can also be produced entirely with AI. For example, we created a video that explains the function of a slimming syringe – complex, but implemented with AI in such a way that the information is understandable and visually attractive. Another example is a video that explains how to navigate a website. In the past, tutorials like this would have been a major project that took several days to produce. Today, you can implement them in a fraction of the time – and improve them at any time or create variants for other target groups.

• AI is also suitable for long videos
• Less production effort
• High content density possible

Example 1: Infographic (from above) also available as a long version for more information.

Example 2: Video for website, explanation of the main menu.

Video planning for 1 year

In the past, you would probably have needed a whole month of production for a year’s worth of videos. Studio, videographers, editors, protagonists – everything had to be coordinated. Today, with AI, you can implement a complete annual plan in much less time. Especially if you already have experience, it’s extremely fast. After more than ten years of brand development and content production at the agency, we know which processes are important – and that’s exactly what AI accelerates. Experience multiplies with technology. The end result is an output that would have previously consumed many times more resources.

• Month production vs. days with AI
• Experience + AI = speed
• Scalable annual plan possible

Content nach Keyword Plan (YouTube SEO)

Own video avatars: That’s me!

AI avatars are an exciting experiment. Yes, that’s me – in digital form. We have launched a test project to show how detailed you can create videos in the field of real estate investment or marketing with your own avatar. The result is amazingly close to reality. Voice, gestures, expression – everything looks authentic. You can see it here in Vibe Coding and further down, here in the post!

Of course, this saves time because I don’t have to invest an hour of production every time. An avatar can be created once and then used as often as you like.

Of course, this technology also has its limits. Video editing remains manual work, AI doesn’t do that yet. But if you have little time or want to create additional content, avatars are a great option.

And very important: recycle content

It gets particularly exciting when you recycle existing content: a blog post or SEO article can be cast in video form without you having to step in front of the camera yourself. This opens new doors for anyone who has previously worked more text-based and now wants to conquer video as a channel.

• Avatar saves production time
• Can be used multiple times
• Ideal for content recycling

Here is an example of mine:

AI videos as a game changer? Yes. Yes. And yes!

AI videos are more than just a short-term trend. They are changing how we think and implement content. Shorts and reels for quick attention, explainer videos for more in-depth content, avatars for efficiency and brand building – anything is possible. The key is not in the tool itself, but in the way you use it. Good planning, clear goals, well thought-out editorial and keyword strategies make all the difference. Then AI won’t become a toy, but a real game changer for your marketing.

• Short formats for reach
• Explanatory videos for depth
• Avatars for efficiency

Insight! Vibe coding with AI

Vibe coding with AI – There is now a term for what I do: vibe coding. It describes the way you work with AI tools without having to do any hardcore programming yourself. AI in coding opens up completely new possibilities – from web development to apps, games and marketing calculators. Today I’ll show you what vibe coding means, what problems it solves and how I’ve implemented over 100 of my own tools in the last few months – from real estate apps to fashion brand quizzes. Let’s go!

• Vibe coding with AI

Vibe Coding: What’s behind it?

KI Erfahrung von Stephan Czaja (Co-Owner)

I am a generalist. Marketing, design, strategy, coding – I want to be able to do everything somehow and I want to save time with more quality. AI tools are the game changer for me because they make it possible to be active in all areas at the same time. You used to have to specialize, but now you can have your own little development studio in your pocket with AI. That’s exactly what vibe coding is: Implementing ideas freely, testing quickly, making mistakes, improving – and all at a speed never seen before.

From the initial idea to the finished product can be realized in record time.

What makes Vibe Coding so good?

1. Creativity + technology = immediate output
2. New projects in days instead of weeks

VR Avatare 2022/2023

Speaking of AI, coding and avatars, did you know? We were already active before the AI hype. With content spinning software, the first virtual avatars at fashion shows and early automation. This experience shows that technology changes, but the core remains the same – those who understand how tools work early on are ahead of the game. Today, we are ready for the next evolutionary stage in marketing.

PS: This no longer works with vibe coding, haha! Let’s continue:

Problems in “small” web development: What has always generated me

We’ve all been there: you have a good idea for an app or tool. But then the frustration begins. You either have to spend weeks at the computer yourself, pay an expensive full-stack developer or find someone via platforms like Fiverr. No matter which way you go – it’s effort, it costs time and money. Many good ideas die at exactly this point because the hurdles are too big. Traditional web development has long been a bottleneck for creatives and entrepreneurs.

• High costs for developers
• Long implementation times
• Many projects fall by the wayside

Solution through vibe coding: Speed X 184

And this is exactly where Vibe Coding comes in. AI makes development fast, relaxed and, with a little practice, incredibly productive. Instead of coding for weeks, you work with prompts. You simply say what you need, and tools like ChatGPT or … for all beginners, stick with ChatGPT for now … do the rest. Of course, you still have to think, test and expand – but the speed is brutal.

Do the math: What used to take 184 hours can now be done in 1 hour while you relax and drink your coffee – PS I’m drinking cappuccino and orange juice while the new marketing computers are finished!

This changes the way you think about projects – suddenly nothing is “too costly” anymore.

1. From weekly work to hourly work
2. Prototypes can be tested immediately
3. No high entry costs

Let’s look directly at a few cases, as always in-house, so that I can speak and write freely:

Stephan builds real estate app + 50 tools

Vibe Coding: App Immobilien Investment

One of my first projects with Vibe Coding was the Immobilien Guru app. It combines an app, WordPress plugin and over 50 individual tools for real estate investments. In the past, you would have needed an entire team of developers for this, but today a mix of AI tools and clear prompts is enough. The result: a usable application that offers real added value – in a fraction of the time. The app provides practical support, especially for investors who need quick calculations and comparisons.

• Real Estate Guru App

Stephan builds real estate investment learning app

I love Duolingo because it’s a fun way to learn languages. I have transferred this principle to real estate. With the real estate learning app, users can learn everything from how to calculate the first net yield before buying to appreciation and rent increases. AI enabled me to develop this project quickly without having to rely on a huge budget. It makes expertise in a field that often seems dry and complex easily accessible and interactive.

• Real estate learning app

So I look forward to YouTube in the evening:

Tip! Create AI videos directly on your topics:

Stephan builds 20+ marketing calculators

Vibe coding is also worth its weight in gold in marketing projects. I have developed over 20 marketing calculators on Social Media One. You can use them to calculate KPIs such as conversion rate, CPC or CTR free of charge. The tools not only help us at the agency, but also our customers to better understand and manage their campaigns. With traditional coding, this would have been a mammoth project – with AI, it was a series of weekend sessions. These computers are a real time and cost saver, especially for performance marketing.

• Marketing calculator

Stephan builds fashion brands quiz

Playful projects are also possible. With the fashion brand quiz, you can get to know the biggest luxury brands such as Balenciaga, Gucci or Hermès in a playful way. For me, this is a tribute to my model agency and my fashion magazine. Projects like this show how flexible vibe coding is – it’s not just about business, but also about entertainment and education. At the same time, you train knowledge that is extremely relevant in the fashion and luxury industry.

• Fashion brands quiz

Stephan builds GNTM Bingo

Another example from the entertainment corner: GNTM Bingo. Every year, when Heidi Klum is looking for new models, the game becomes a small party attraction. With Vibe Coding, I was able to implement and publish the game quickly – a project that would probably never have seen the light of day without AI. Projects like this show that even small, fun ideas can be implemented immediately.

• GNTM Bingo

Stephan builds mini games

From small games to educational apps – everything is included. One example is the Peppa Game that I published with CM Models. Games like this show that vibe coding also works for creative projects outside of business and marketing. Speed is crucial here in particular, because you can try out spontaneous ideas straight away.

• Peppa Game @ CM

Stephan builds Gold App with Live Gold price

One of my favorite projects is the Gold Guru app. Inspired by the series “Heinz im Glück” (DMAX), I built a small app that displays the live gold price. Another example of how quickly ideas can be implemented if you use the right AI tools. In the past, you would have hired a team of developers for this – today, a weekend full of vibe coding sessions is enough. For investors, such a tool is extremely valuable as it makes prices available in real time.

• Gold Guru App

Conclusion: Vibe Coding changes everything and I LOVE it

Er liebt Vibe Coding, Stephan Czaja (Co-Owner)

Vibe coding is more than just a buzzword. It is a new approach to turning ideas into reality – quickly, flexibly and without huge budgets. Whether it’s real estate apps, marketing computers or small games: With AI, anyone can implement projects that would have been impossible in the past. This not only opens up new possibilities for agencies, but also for individuals who want to bring their ideas to life. Vibe coding is therefore not just technology, but a way of thinking: start quickly, make mistakes, improve – and always keep moving.

• Realize ideas faster
• Drastically reduce costs
• Creativity without limits

Tip! You can also do something really cool with videos, I’ve even built entire brands with just AI.

• Create AI videos

Content nach Keyword Plan (YouTube SEO)

AI Agents: Next Level – Oh yes!

At the moment, you still have to enter your prompts yourself. But the next step is just around the corner: AI agents. These tools can perform tasks independently, scrape data, collect information and even interact with platforms. Example: “Go to LinkedIn and search for 100 people who work in area XY” – an AI agent does this automatically. This takes vibe coding to a whole new level because you are no longer just operating tools, but automating entire processes.

Simple case: Create a database. You build code around it, zap tool.

Initial tests have already shown that AI agents can take over complex workflows such as lead generation, research or content publishing with virtually no manual intervention.

• Automated processes
• Data search without manual searching
• More focus on strategy instead of hard work

Standard model for the highest quality

Those who value depth of detail should opt for the standard model. This produces scenes with finely tuned lighting, realistic movements and better composition. This version is the first choice for branding campaigns, image films or more elaborate explanatory videos. Quality takes precedence over speed here.

• Realistic scenes and lighting moods
• Finer picture quality
• Recommended for branding and storytelling

Picture-to-video for creative effects

Now Google is going one step further. Images can be automatically transformed into short clips. This allows marketers to bring existing assets such as product photos or logos into motion and generate creative animations. Ideal for campaigns that want to refresh existing material or adapt it for different platforms.

• Turn photos into animated clips
• New use of existing assets
• Public preview from August

Integration and workflows

The strength of Veo 3 also lies in its integration. The technology is ready for immediate use via Vertex AI and tools such as Canva. Over 70 million videos have already been created with it, including more than 6 million for companies. With SynthID watermarking, AI content is clearly marked – an important step towards transparency in marketing.

• Can be used directly in Vertex AI
• Seamless integration with Canva
• SynthID ensures traceability

Planning remains crucial

Even though Veo 3 brings enormous speed, it is no substitute for planning. As with classic productions for YouTube, Instagram or TikTok, a clear goal, an editorial plan and a keyword plan are the basis for successful campaigns. Only by combining strategy and technology can AI unfold its full potential.

• Strategy remains indispensable
• Keyword plan for reach
• Editorial plan for consistency

Good planning is half viral! Here are some practical tips:

What comes next?

Veo 3 is not the end, but the beginning. Models will be longer, more detailed and more flexible. Voices and avatars will become more realistic and workflows even more automated. For marketers, this means: get started now, gain experience and optimize processes. Because AI video production (as well as AI product photos for e-commerce) will become as commonplace in the coming years as social media is today.

• Longer and more realistic clips
• Seamless integration into marketing workflows
• Starting early gives you a head start

Short clips with a strong effect

KI Update mit Stephan Czaja (Co-Owner)

Sora creates videos up to 20 seconds long in 1080p. That sounds short, but it’s enough for ads, product presentations or social media posts. These formats are particularly effective on platforms such as TikTok, Instagram or YouTube Shorts. This allows campaigns to be launched more quickly, trends to be picked up on and target groups to be reached precisely.

• Clips up to 20 seconds
• Optimal for TikTok, Reels & Shorts
• Perfect for product ads

Branding and storytelling with Sora

Anyone who values brand building will benefit from Sora’s ability to create scenes with realistic composition, lighting moods and movement. This makes it possible to produce image films, short story formats or branding campaigns that create closeness to the brand and look professional – even without a large camera team.

• Realistic scenes for image films
• Visually strengthen brand messages
• Storytelling without filming costs

Picture-to-video for creative effects

A powerful feature of Sora is the conversion of images into videos. Logos, product photos or key visuals can be animated and set in motion. This is an efficient method of repurposing existing material, especially for campaigns with many assets.

• Turn images into animated clips
• Get more from existing assets
• Creative animations for campaigns

Demos here:

• Produce ads faster
• A/B tests with variants
• Faster optimization of campaigns

Integration into marketing workflows

OpenAI offers Sora as an API. In conjunction with ChatGPT or DALL-E, workflows are created that seamlessly combine text, image and video. This makes the entire content production process – from the script to the storyboard to the finished clip – digitalized and scalable.

• API-first for automation
• Can be combined with ChatGPT & DALL-E
• Scalable processes for agencies

Strategy remains indispensable

As powerful as the technology is, nothing works without planning, even with Sora. A clear editorial plan, target group analysis and keyword strategy remain the basis of every successful campaign. Only when technology and strategy work together does AI unfold its full effect.

• Starting early gives you a head start

Sora vs Google Veo 3

Finally, a direct comparison: Sora from OpenAI vs Google Veo 3.

Veo 3: Recommendations from the video

The video shows step by step how to produce short, viral clips with Google Veo 3. The focus is on a clear prompt structure, targeted use for social media and a conscious approach to costs. Below you will find the most important points in compact paragraphs and short bullet points for quick implementation.

Prompt structure: Three parts

Divide your prompt into character, camera and language/emotion. First describe appearance, clothing, posture and hand actions. Then define camera angle and movement, such as selfie, tracking or static. Finish with literal speech and mood to control expression and dynamics.

• Character: Details
• Camera: Angle/Move
• Language: Quote + sound
• Tip: Save credits

Viral characters & social media

Recognizable characters are suitable for short clips in portrait format. Use them as a hook in the first few seconds, combine clear facial expressions and simple sentences. Use different emotions to increase attention and vary settings for more dynamics.

• YouTube Shorts
• TikTok & Reels
• Strong hook
• Varying emotions

Access & Platforms

Access is primarily via Google Gemini. If Veo 3 is not yet available there, alternatives are available. Test several providers to compare availability, operation and price structures and find the right workflow for you.

• Google Gemini
• Leonardo.ai
• Craya.ai
• Hedra.com

Keeping an eye on costs

Veo 3 is in the premium segment. Therefore, optimize your prompts to reduce failed attempts. Plan scenes in blocks, re-render only specific parts and use variants sparingly. This way you get more output per budget.

• Plan ahead promptly
• Targeted variants
• Render blocks
• Budget tracking

Prompt help & automation

Use prompt templates or a dedicated prompt generator to achieve consistent quality. Have building blocks ready for characters, cameras and dialog. This allows you to build serial formats faster and reduce scatter in the results.

• Use templates
• Maintain modules
• Custom GPTs
• Ensure consistency

Concrete marketing use

Use Veo 3 for high-performance short formats and tests. Create A/B variants for hooks, camera and quotes. Develop shorts, ads and product intros that you can play out in a channel-specific way. Build up a small library of recurring characters and scenes.

• Test A/B hooks
• Product intros
• Ad variants
• Figure library

In short…

Clear prompt structure, recognizable characters and targeted variants are the leverage for reach. Manage costs through planning and lean iterations. Use Veo 3 where short, concise clips have the greatest impact.

• Structure = Quality
• Characters = Hook
• Variants = learning
• Budget = Focus

What is ChatGPT?

ChatGPT is an AI-supported voice assistant developed by OpenAI. It is based on a so-called language model that has been trained on huge amounts of data. It understands questions and instructions in natural language – and can give precise, creative or even surprisingly human answers. The latest version is based on the GPT-4 model and can not only write, but also calculate, analyze, program – and even understand or create images. ChatGPT is so popular, even Google now has AI in its search results.

The chatbot that really understands

Unlike traditional search engines, ChatGPT does not simply reply with links, but formulates directly understandable texts. You can speak to the system in natural language – almost as if you were chatting to a person. ChatGPT is constantly learning and adapting to your style and intent. According to the New York Times, millions of people around the world now use ChatGPT every day.

• AI-supported assistant from OpenAI
• Based on GPT-4 (latest version)
• Understands natural language & context
• Answer directly, not just with links

What can you do with ChatGPT?

The possibilities are enormous. Many people first think of text generation – blog articles, emails, social media posts or translations. But ChatGPT can do much more: you can write small programs, generate Excel formulas, analyze or structure content. According to MIT Technology Review, many people now use ChatGPT specifically to increase productivity.

Texts, software, images – and more

With the latest tools, you can also have images created – e.g. with DALL-E, directly from ChatGPT. I’ll show you how this works in another video. Writing code, editing data or planning projects is also possible with ChatGPT. It’s not just a tool for creatives, but also for developers, entrepreneurs or teachers. TechCrunch recently reported on the integration of DALL-E directly into ChatGPT Pro.

• Generate & revise texts
• Have small software tools programmed
• Create images using AI (e.g. DALL-E)
• Code, tables, analyses & more

My videos: How to really use ChatGPT

I will gradually be adding short videos here in which I show you very specifically how you can use ChatGPT for your everyday life – whether professionally, creatively or technically. It’s not just about writing texts, but also about creating AI images, mini-apps and clever automation. Check back regularly!

These are just mini-examples, I build entire apps – get inspired!
