6 Ways I Use AI Tools as a Solo Content Creator, to save time.

1️⃣ Organizing large sets of data I already have into spreadsheets and also concept layouts for my info graphics and motion graphics I’m going to make. Gemini is very good at this.

2️⃣ Rephrasing a hook or call to action to be more concise, especially for a sponsored ad read to hit the exact amount of time required. Claude and ChatGPT.

4️⃣ Identifying a pattern in data about my audience using the YouTube Ask Studio AI.

5️⃣ Reconfiguring settings in camera to match shots between 3 different camera models (Sony). Not every camera even from the Dane brand had the same menus and identical settings. Using Grok for this and it can generate color grading setting I can use manually or turn into a preset. It can also dissect a scene and give me the color grade settings for matching existing footage to recreate that look when grading.

6️⃣ Adobe Premiere Pro utilizes AI in the open beta version for removing objects and subjects from backgrounds without green screen and it’s nearly PERFECT. Also it uses AI auto cutting in the Text Editing feature to remove all your silences and stop words (ums) in seconds… and it can also do near studio quality audio correction.

Most people hate on AI from a bandwagon or from insecurity. But it’s a positivity tool just like all other software and browser plugins.

The most important thing is to use your tools to create value for the viewer. Nothing is more important than creating value for viewers, or you won’t have any.

These tools are the ultimate advantage for solo creators and bootstrapped working class creators who can’t afford a team and will level the playing field with larger creators when used properly.
