10 Tips for Better AI Video Creation
Whether you're creating podcasts, narration videos, or animated storybooks, these proven tips will help you get the most out of TikTomato's AI video generation tools.
1. Start with Clear Objectives
Before you begin, ask yourself:
- Who is your target audience?
- What message do you want to convey?
- What action do you want viewers to take?
Clear objectives lead to better prompts and better results.
2. Write Descriptive Prompts
The quality of your AI-generated content directly correlates with the quality of your prompts.
❌ Vague prompt:
"Make a video about cooking"
✅ Descriptive prompt:
"Create an engaging narration video about 5 quick breakfast recipes for busy professionals, with a friendly and energetic tone, suitable for Instagram Reels"
3. Choose the Right Video Type
