How to Create and Edit AI Videos From Start to Finish
Begin with a clear brief that names your audience, the video’s purpose, its intended length, and its visual style. Write a short sequence of scenes, then note each scene’s subject, setting, action, camera movement, lighting, and mood. A brief such as “a courier crosses a rain-soaked city at night, filmed in a slow tracking shot” gives an AI video generator more direction than “show a city.”
Generate your footage with YB Video from YB.Digital at https://yb.digital/video. Enter a text prompt or provide a visual reference, then specify the scene details you want the model to render. Generation creates source clips; it does not arrange them into a finished narrative. Build scenes separately when their subjects, locations, or actions change, and keep recurring character descriptions consistent across prompts.
Plan for continuity by carrying stable details from one prompt to the next, including wardrobe, time of day, color palette, and camera style. Review each generated clip for artifacts, inconsistent movement, and framing that does not support the story. Regenerate a scene when a person’s appearance shifts or an important object changes between shots, rather than trying to fix every visual mismatch in the edit.
Edit the selected clips in the YB.Digital editor at https://yb.digital/editor. Editing turns generated material into a coherent video: place clips in story order, trim their starts and ends, and adjust pacing around the action. Add titles, voice-over, music, or sound effects where available, then review transitions and audio levels. A wide establishing shot followed by a close view of the courier’s package, for instance, makes the scene easier to follow.
Use this workflow to separate creative decisions by stage. Generation focuses on what appears in each clip, while editing controls how clips, sound, and text work together. Keep source files and working versions organized so you can revise a scene without rebuilding the whole sequence.
| Stage | Main task | Check before moving on |
|---|---|---|
| Brief | Define audience, purpose, and scene order | Each scene has a clear role |
| Generation | Create individual AI video clips | Subject, action, and style match the prompt |
| Selection | Choose usable takes and replace flawed clips | Continuity holds across related scenes |
| Editing | Arrange, trim, and add audio or titles | Pacing and sound support the story |
| Export | Prepare the completed video for its destination | Framing and playback suit the platform |
Before exporting, watch the entire video from beginning to end. Check that titles remain readable, dialogue is audible over music, and no clip ends on an accidental frame. Confirm the aspect ratio and resolution match the destination, then export a final copy and retain the editable project.
- Keep a prompt log for each generated scene.
- Label clips by scene number and take.
- Save a clean version without titles or music.
- Use licensed audio for public or commercial releases.
