Weekend AI Workshop for YouTube Creators: Build Your AI Video Pipeline

Topics

• How Vijay's channel got 1.22 lakh views, 3,128 watch hours and +914 subscribers in 7 days (Oct 11-17, 2026; case study with real Studio screenshots)
• The pipeline: idea, script, images, voice, assembly, thumbnail, upload
• Picking a niche and a story people search for; what makes content 'authentic'

Hands-on

• Each attendee picks one 60-90 second video idea and creates a project folder

Topics

• Hook-first structure (0-5s hook, story, payoff, question)
• Prompting Gemini/ChatGPT for script, scene list and image prompts in one go
• Fact-checking and adding your own insight (avoids the 'mass-produced' signal)
• Writing for narration in any language: short sentences, spoken style

Hands-on

• Generate a script + 8-12 scene breakdown + image prompts, then rewrite the intro in your own words

Topics

• Style sheet: art style, palette, aspect ratio 16:9 / 9:16
• Character consistency: reference image, fixed seed, the same character description every time
• Free/low-cost online image tools (e.g. Gemini image generation and similar) vs local FLUX
• Checking every frame: hands, faces, text, continuity; regenerating only the bad frames

Hands-on

• Generate all scene images for your video with one consistent character

Topics

• Options: cloud TTS (e.g. Google Cloud Text-to-Speech / Gemini voices, ElevenLabs), open Indic models such as IndicF5, and cloning your own voice (with consent only)
• Pronunciation fixes: spelling tweaks, commas for pauses, sentence-by-sentence generation
• Loudness basics: no clipping

Hands-on

• Generate the full narration in your channel's language; fix 2 mispronounced words

Topics

• CapCut / Canva / DaVinci Resolve (free) timeline
• Ken Burns motion, transitions, royalty-free music (YouTube Audio Library)
• Auto-subtitles timed to the voice; burned-in vs SRT; fonts for Indian and global scripts
• Image-to-video AI clips (optional) for hero shots

Hands-on

• Assemble your video with music and timed subtitles

Topics

• Thumbnail: one face/emotion, 3-4 words, contrast, mobile test
• Honest curiosity titles: no 'BANNED'/fake claims (viewer trust + policy)
• Description, chapters, tags, pinned comment with sources
• YouTube Studio 'AI use' disclosure: required for realistic AI content (e.g. realistic scenes that never happened, AI music); not required for clearly unrealistic/animated content or minor production help like AI-written scripts, thumbnails or captions

Hands-on

• Design a thumbnail + write title/description; fill upload settings

Topics

• YPP eligibility: 1,000 subscribers + 4,000 qualified public watch hours in 12 months, or 1,000 subscribers + 10M qualified Shorts views in 90 days; 2-Step Verification; AdSense for YouTube; YPP terms update from 1 Feb 2027 (accept in Studio by 31 Jan 2027)
• Review covers the channel as a whole: main theme, most-viewed, newest, metadata, About section
• Inauthentic content: allowed (same intro/outro, a series with distinct stories, AI used to visualize your own narrative) vs not allowed (templated AI slideshows, mass-produced AI content without your original insight)
• AI personas giving health/legal/finance advice can't be monetized; made-for-kids quality principles
• Other income: memberships, Super Thanks, sponsors, digital products

Hands-on

• Run the 'Channel Authenticity Checklist' on your own channel

Topics

• Scheduling: 2-3 strong videos/week at a fixed time, not batches
• Shorts as standalone hooks to long videos; multi-language audio tracks
• Automating more: what a full local AI studio does (batch scripts, GPU images, voice QC, auto-assembly)
• Next step: AI Video Studio Setup packages and the workshop credit

Hands-on

• Publish (or schedule/export) your AI video live in the session
