Content creation
Make a video of yourself with AI, step by step
You will have a written plan, source material, one reviewed video and a label that tells viewers how it was made.
Before you start
- An AI video tool whose terms you have read
- A phone or camera
- A short script
Step 1: Set your rules
Use the safety guide first: read the terms, decide what you will and will not say, and plan to label the result.
Step 2: Write a short script
Under 60 seconds. Plain words. Only things you would say yourself.
Step 3: Record clean source material
- Even light on your face.
- Quiet room.
- Look at the lens and speak at your usual pace.
- Record the length the tool asks for.
Step 4: Generate and review
- Run one short test.
- Watch for odd mouth movement or voice changes.
- Check every word matches your script.
- Fix the source material, not the output, if something is off.
Step 5: Label and publish
- Tell viewers it is AI-assisted.
- Do not use it for advice outside your expertise.
- Keep the source footage somewhere you control.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Cloning anyone but yourself
- Not labelling
- Using it for advice you are not qualified to give
- Skipping the test video
Final checklist
- I read the terms
- I tested a short video
- I labelled the result
- I stored the source footage safely
