I know this topic probably comes up a lot, but wanted to get fresh perspectives for this year.
Which AI solutions are you currently using to enhance your productivity and creative work? I’m part of a boutique studio and need to discover methods to optimize our operations. You probably know how it is - clients want more for less money, there are tons of competitors now, and everyone expects lightning fast turnaround times.
While I’d love to hear about content generation platforms (think Runway and similar), I’m primarily focused on solutions that accelerate post-production and motion graphics workflows. Ideally something that could help us provide more affordable ongoing services that our compact crew (myself and two colleagues) can handle without burning out. Our bread and butter is interview content and we produce videos plus motion graphics mainly for enterprise clients.
Thanks for any recommendations or experiences you can share.
The biggest game-changer for me was ditching manual motion graphics for AI-powered template generation.
I use tools that analyze interview content and auto-generate branded templates. The AI listens to speech patterns, spots key talking points, and creates graphics that sync with natural speaking rhythms.
What really transformed our workflow was AI handling subtitle styling and lower thirds automatically. No more manually timing and designing these for every interview - the system places them, sets duration, and suggests treatments based on speaker tone and content importance.
For post-production, I’m using AI noise reduction that works in real time while editing instead of as a separate step. Cuts render times massively when you’re dealing with multiple interview segments.
The real winner? AI project management that tracks client feedback patterns and predicts revision requests. Sounds weird but it learns what specific clients typically want changed and flags issues before delivery. Saves tons of revision rounds.
With enterprise clients, you’ve probably got brand guidelines perfect for training custom AI models. Feed the system their style requirements and it’ll generate compliant motion graphics automatically while you focus on storytelling and client strategy.
I’ve been experimenting with something different that might work for your interview workflow. Instead of individual AI tools, I’m using machine learning models trained specifically for video editing through platforms like Replicate. You can run custom models that learn your style and client preferences over time. For motion graphics, I’ve had good results with AI that analyzes the emotional tone and pacing of interview segments, then suggests graphic styles and timing that match. The learning curve was steeper than plug-and-play solutions, but now it’s like having an extra team member who knows exactly how we work. Worth exploring if you’re willing to invest setup time upfront. The cost savings on repetitive motion graphics work alone justified the effort for our small operation.
for sure! have u tried adobe’s ai tools? they r super helpful for motion graphics, plus can save tons of time in post. also, check out runway for some cool features, it might be what ur looking for!
I use Topaz Video AI for upscaling and denoising interview footage - it’s a lifesaver when clients hand you potato-quality source material. Saves me tons of time vs manual cleanup. For motion graphics, DaVinci Resolve’s AI features are solid. The auto color matching and object removal handle grunt work that used to kill hours. Neural engine does decent rotoscoping too. Game changer for us was AI transcription through Otter or Rev, then using those transcripts to auto-generate rough cut timelines. Not perfect but gives you a solid starting point for interview edits. ChatGPT’s underrated for writing motion graphics copy and client presentations. Saves hours on proposals and project docs so you can focus creative energy where it counts.
Been there with demanding clients and crazy deadlines. Game changer wasn’t just AI tools - it was automating the entire workflow between them.
Yeah, you can use individual AI solutions for different tasks. But real productivity comes from chaining everything together automatically. Interview footage gets processed, transcribed, cut into segments, and motion graphics applied based on content analysis - all without touching it.
I built workflows that handle repetitive stuff while my team focuses on creative decisions. One workflow takes raw interviews, runs speech analysis, finds key moments, generates rough cuts, and creates initial motion graphics based on what’s being discussed.
For three people handling enterprise clients, this automation keeps you competitive without burning out. You deliver faster turnarounds and consistent output while spending way less time on tedious work.
I use Latenode to orchestrate everything. It connects different AI services and handles file processing, API calls, and handoffs automatically. Much more powerful than standalone tools.
