AI video, explained.
Plain answers to the questions people ask before they try AI video: what it costs, how it compares to a film crew, how to feature real people and places, and how to make it look like your brand.
- AI video use cases for marketing, sales, agencies and onboarding
Business teams use AI video for short, repeatable pieces: launch and social scenes in marketing, one scene per objection in sales, one project per client at agencies, and one scene per moment in onboarding.
- AI video vs traditional video production
A traditional company video is filmed by a crew in two to eight weeks, usually for €3,000 or more. An AI video is generated in minutes for a few euros, but it is animation, not footage. Here is how to choose.
- How much does an AI video cost?
In GetReelCom a 30-second AI company video costs 33 credits: free for your first one, then about €12 to €15 on a paid plan. A filmed company video from an agency usually starts around €3,000.
- How to create an AI product video
To create an AI product video, pick one product and one benefit, and show the product in use by the person it is for. In GetReelCom you save the product once, write the moment of use, and a ten-second scene costs 11 credits.
- How to keep an AI video on brand
To keep an AI video on brand, save your colours, people, places and tone once, reuse them in every scene, and check each still frame. Add your logo and typeface afterwards, because generated scenes draw them badly.
- How to make a company introduction video with AI
A company introduction video tells a stranger who you are, what you do and for whom, in about 30 seconds. With AI you write three short scenes, cast your own colleagues as avatars, and generate it without a film crew.
- How to make a professional video without a film crew
You can make a professional video without a film crew in four ways: film it yourself, use a template tool, use an AI presenter, or generate animated scenes from your website. Each trades cost, time and realism differently.
- How to make a vertical video for Instagram, TikTok and Shorts
A vertical video is 9:16: taller than wide, filling a phone held upright. Instagram Reels, TikTok and YouTube Shorts all use it. Compose for the middle of the frame, and keep text out of the bottom third.
- How to make an AI explainer video
To make an AI explainer video, write a problem, solution and result script of about 25 spoken words per ten seconds, then generate one scene per beat. In GetReelCom a 30-second explainer is three scenes and 33 credits.
- How to make an AI video from your own product photos
AI tools use a product photo in two ways: some animate the photo itself, others draw the product into a new scene. GetReelCom draws the product from your written description, and you check the likeness in a still frame.
- How to put real employees in an AI video
To put real employees in an AI video, get each person's written consent first, then give the tool a clear photo so it draws one consistent avatar. In GetReelCom the avatar is a stylised 3D portrait and costs 1 credit.
- How to tailor a company video to different audiences
To tailor a company video to different audiences, keep the product, cast and setting the same and change the opening problem, the words and the call to action per audience. Make one short version for each.
- How to turn your company website into a video
To turn a website into a video, paste its address into a tool that reads the pages and drafts a script and visuals. The result differs per tool: stock footage, an avatar presenter, or animated scenes of your own company.
- How to use a real location in an AI video
To use a real location in an AI video, give the tool one photo of the place and a description of its materials, light and objects. The scene is then set in a stylised version of your space, not a generic room.
- Why AI videos glitch, and how to keep them consistent
AI videos glitch because every clip is a fresh sample, and ten seconds asks the model to keep dozens of things true at once. Here is what the research measures, what causes it, and what reduces it.
