5 Best Practices for Creating AI Videos
AI video generation has revolutionized content creation, but knowing the best practices can make the difference between a good video and a viral one.
1. Start with a Strong Hook
Your first 3 seconds are crucial. Viewers scroll fast, so grab attention immediately:
- Ask a provocative question
- Show a surprising visual
- Make a bold statement
Example: "What if I told you this entire video was made by AI in 5 minutes?"
2. Maintain Character Consistency
Nothing breaks immersion faster than characters changing appearance mid-video. With Reelsy's character consistency technology:
- Use the same character throughout
- Keep clothing and features consistent
- Maintain the same art style
3. Optimize for Mobile Viewing
Over 90% of short-form video is consumed on mobile devices:
- Use 9:16 aspect ratio (vertical)
- Keep text large and readable
- Use high contrast colors
- Position key elements in the safe zone (center 80%)
4. Add Captions
85% of videos are watched without sound. Always include:
- Synchronized captions
- Key text overlays
- Visual indicators for important points
Reelsy automatically generates captions for all your videos.
5. Keep It Short and Focused
Attention spans are shrinking:
- 30-60 seconds is ideal for most content
- One clear message per video
- End with a strong call-to-action
Bonus: Test and Iterate
Track your metrics:
- View duration
- Engagement rate
- Share count
