Creating Realistic AI News Videos Using ChatGPT, DALL-E, and Synthesia
Written on
Chapter 1: Introduction to AI News Video Creation
In today's digital landscape, powerful AI tools like ChatGPT-3 are making waves. However, have you considered how effectively different AI technologies can be integrated?
The following AI-generated news video (approximately 1 minute long) may appear startlingly authentic, yet it's entirely fictional. This clip, discussing NASA's advancements in Mars exploration, was produced using a combination of AI technologies:
- ChatGPT-3: Generates text from a brief tagline.
- DALL-E 2: Creates images based on the same tagline.
- Synthesia: Provides avatars and synthetic voices for the videos.
In this article, I will guide you through the process of utilizing these three AI tools to craft a credible news video. Let's start by watching the video itself.
Chapter 2: Utilizing ChatGPT-3
ChatGPT-3 is an advanced natural language processing model crafted by OpenAI. This system excels in producing conversational text responses and can effectively complete prompts based on concise taglines.
Let’s experiment with it. By entering the tagline 'Breakthrough in Mars project', we can observe how the AI generates a comprehensive text response.
The output is impressive—a well-structured text that aligns perfectly with the provided tagline. This serves as a foundational element for our news piece.
Chapter 3: Generating Images with DALL-E 2
DALL-E 2 is another remarkable model from OpenAI, designed specifically for image creation. Building on GPT-3, it excels at producing high-quality visuals from simple taglines.
For our news video, we will generate a background image using the same tagline, 'Breakthrough in Mars project'. DALL-E 2 creates four stunning images, and I will choose the last one for our project.
Chapter 4: Crafting Videos with Synthesia
Synthesia is an innovative platform that allows users to create videos featuring AI-generated avatars and synthetic voices.
First, we select an avatar; I’ve chosen Rosie.
Next, we will upload the background image that DALL-E 2 generated for us.
Now, we will transfer the text created by ChatGPT-3 and select a synthetic voice.
I have chosen the English (US) — Professional voice for the video.
Finally, we generate the video and can either watch it or download the final product.
Chapter 5: Conclusion and Resources
In this guide, we have successfully merged three distinct AI technologies to fabricate a remarkably lifelike news segment about NASA's Mars breakthroughs. Depending on how you categorize them, this could also involve four different AI models, as Synthesia handles both avatars and voice synthesis.
The AIs employed for our project include:
- ChatGPT-3: Text generation based on a tagline.
- DALL-E 2: Image creation based on a tagline.
- Synthesia: Avatar and voice generation.
