How to add AI visual effects to your videos without making everything look AI-generated.
Every Friday, my news videos start with some wild AI intro and it’s the thing I get asked about the most. This is the full breakdown of how I do it, plus every other AI effect I use to keep my videos fun.
Intros, transitions, background compositing, B-roll, logo reveals, lower thirds, animated infographics, and the animated talking heads trick from the Sam Altman video. I jump between Runway, Seed Dance 2.0, Gemini, Veo 3.1, Remotion, and Codex throughout.
You do not need to be a pro editor. The goal is 95% human video with 5% AI spice.
