How To Create A MONETIZABLE AI Podcast Ep2 (Full Tutorial)

How to Create Your Own AI Podcast

Introduction to the Podcast Creation Process

• The speaker introduces their first AI podcast and shares positive feedback received, indicating a strong interest in the topic.

• The goal is to convert existing documentation into a podcast format, specifically a free course on starting a faceless YouTube channel.

• The speaker encourages viewers to subscribe for more content related to using AI for creating faceless YouTube channels and online businesses.

Utilizing Notebook LM for Content Generation

• Notebook LM is introduced as an AI research assistant that can generate podcasts from provided documentation or links.

• Users can upload various file types or paste links; the speaker demonstrates pasting a YouTube link for conversion into audio content.

• After generating audio from a 49-minute video, it produces approximately 16 minutes of conversational podcast material.

Editing Audio with Descript

• The next step involves downloading the generated audio for editing purposes, emphasizing the need to separate conversations by speakers.

• Descript is introduced as an editing tool that transcribes audio files and allows users to assign different speaker flags during transcription.

• Users are advised to listen and make edits based on their preferences while being cautious about using AI-generated voices for monetization purposes.

Exporting and Finalizing Audio Tracks

• Instructions are given on how to create sequences in Descript, allowing separation of different speakers' tracks for individual exportation.

• To finalize, users must mute one track at a time when exporting, ensuring they have distinct audio files for each speaker's voice.

Skillshare and AI Tools for Content Creation

Introduction to Skillshare

• The speaker introduces Skillshare as a game-changing platform for enhancing content creation skills, particularly for projects like podcasts and YouTube videos.

• Skillshare is described as the largest online learning community for creatives, offering thousands of classes on various topics including video editing, storytelling, and productivity hacks.

• The speaker highlights specific courses that have been beneficial, such as audio editing and productivity for content creators by Ali Abdaal.

Utilizing 11 Labs for Voiceover

• The next tool discussed is 11 Labs, an AI tool favored by the speaker for generating realistic AI voices suitable for commercial use.

• A walkthrough of using 11 Labs' voiceover studio feature is provided; users can create new voices by uploading audio files.

Importing Scripts into 11 Labs

• Instructions are given on how to import transcripts into the voiceover studio after converting them from text format to CSV using ChatGPT.

• It’s emphasized that the imported file must adhere to a specific format (speaker line with start and end times).

Generating Audio Tracks

• After importing the CSV file into 11 Labs, it automatically separates voices into individual tracks based on speakers.

• Users can select different voices (e.g., Mark and Zara), ensuring natural conversation tones are used in generated audio.

Finalizing Audio Production

• Once all audio clips are generated, users can edit lines directly within the interface before exporting them as separate audio tracks in a zip file.

Creating and Animating Images for AI Podcasts

Steps to Create and Animate Images

• Once the image is created, scale it and download it. This process was applied for both Zara and Mark.

• The next step involves animating the image using an AI tool called Hedra, which offers a free plan allowing five videos per day with a maximum length of 30 seconds.

• For podcast creation (16:9 format), select the appropriate video type in Hedra after uploading the image of Zara.

• Ensure that the face in the image is not overly zoomed in for proper animation; upload audio by converting files from WAV to MP3 if necessary.

• Generating videos can take 2 to 3 hours; however, previously generated clips show Zara speaking only during her parts.

Video Quality Improvement Techniques

• After downloading, check video quality; initial outputs may appear blurred or flickery on larger screens.

• To upscale video quality, Topaz AI is used, costing approximately $299 annually. A free alternative exists but with less finesse.

• In Topaz AI, users can change output resolution to 4K and adjust settings to recover details effectively before exporting.

• Exporting a 10-minute video takes about an hour; upscaled videos show significant clarity improvements compared to original versions.

• CapCut's video upscaler is mentioned as a free option but has limitations on quality enhancement.

Finalizing Podcast Production

• After creating audio transcripts and separating voices, it's time to edit clips together using CapCut’s free plan or Pro Plan options.

• Import all necessary clips into CapCut along with graphics intended for use within the podcast presentation.

• Begin editing by placing Mark's clip first since he initiates conversation; then layer Zara's clip appropriately based on when she speaks during Mark's dialogue.

How to Edit Side-by-Side Video Clips

Setting Up the Clips

• The process begins by placing Mark and Zara side by side in the editing software. Adjustments are made to position them correctly on the screen.

• Users can scrub through the timeline to see both speakers simultaneously, enhancing viewer engagement. A keyboard shortcut (B) is introduced for splitting clips during editing.

Editing Techniques

• When a clip is split, it creates a black space that can be restored to its original position, allowing for seamless transitions between segments.

• Graphics can be added between clips by dragging them into the timeline, providing visual enhancements to the video content.

Compounding Clips and Exporting

• After editing, users can select multiple clips and create a compound clip via right-click options. This consolidates all selected elements into one cohesive unit.

• The final step involves exporting the edited video. Users can name their file, choose a location, select resolution (e.g., 4K), and then export it for use on platforms like YouTube.
