How I used AI to edit the present and create graphics

So, as a part of AI Literacy Day, I’ll share all the methods I used AI within the growth, manufacturing, and publication of this podcast episode.

Graphic: ChatGPT 4.5

As a word, I developed the Podcast graphic with the brand new ChatGPT 4.5 Graphic generator (earlier than I ran out of credit – will probably be writing on that quickly!) ChatGPT 4.5 graphics have been launched this previous Wednesday, March 26, 2025. This is without doubt one of the most fun issues.

Title: Headline Analyzer

I take advantage of Coschedule and Yoast to assist me with suggestions as I develop titles, so I have been utilizing this a very long time. I create choices and likewise generate a number of on ChatGPT. (As we speak I used 4.5 however I created a venture for this exercise educated on how I like to write down titles however I am fairly positive it makes use of an older model so I wished to strive the newer one.)

Introduction: Eleven Labs

I additionally used ElevenLabs and their AI voice for my intro. You possibly can join free and use credit to generate what you sort into it.

Recording, Digital camera Choice, Enhancing with Textual content to Video

I used Riverside to report, which has textual content modifying (a function that’s AI-based, though I made each edit – you simply edit the textual content and it makes the cuts within the video for me. Riverside AI additionally decided which digital camera shot can be featured, and I made a number of tweaks to that.)

Spell Test

I used Grammarly for Spell examine however not for any AI rewrites. Simply commas. (I am horrible at them. Mrs. Caldwell tried, she actually did.)

This Weblog Put up

I wrote it myself whereas a abstract from Riverside and my very own private handwritten notes.

Thumbnail for Weblog Put up

I used Canva. I am out of GPT 4.5 Photograph Credit.

AI Transcription

Apple’s AI transcription is healthier than I can do. So, now, if folks need a transcript, I refer them to the present on Apple Podcasts, you may click on and duplicate the transcript and skim it there. It simply occurs behind the scenes and I do not examine it.

Tags for YouTube

I take advantage of VidIQ to assist me with my YouTube movies. I am undecided if I’ll preserve this service as I have been testing it for a couple of month. I sort in 5 tags I believe I ought to use, and it suggests others based mostly on recognition.

Opus Clip

I’m additionally testing Opus Clip for short-form video content material, one thing folks eat loads of lately. I’ll import the YouTube hyperlink, and it’ll make recommended clips, apply the captions, and my emblem. It’s a time saver, though I am nonetheless uncertain if I prefer it. Riverside may generate these, however Opus Clip does auto-scheduling for them.

My Testing

I often check 1-2 new instruments a month. I’ve a bit of funds for month-to-month cost (not annual) to see what I believe. So, proper now as a part of my “innovate like a turtle” technique, Vidiq and Opus Clip are a part of my turtle time as I am studying. I have not determined to suggest them or not.

Why Use AI?

So, via using AI, I might produce this present in a few hours as a substitute of at the least 10 or extra whereas nonetheless making all the choices on edits and content material.
