Do you want to create videos on a budget?
Do you want more tools to help make videos without using your face or even your voice?
Or maybe you just like to learn more about really useful new AI tools.

If any of these is the case, then you might want to check out this AI tool.

Deep Brain AI Studios has a tool you can use to create videos for free.

With the free option, you can create 1 video for free.

Deep Brain’s AI Studio uses OpenAI’s ChatGPT, it has templates for the videos to reduce the time to completion: General, Education Marketing, Health, Business, Social and others.

The User Interface

This is what the UI looks like when you go to make your video and use topics:

Put in your video idea to get started.

The User Interface.

Select your Template

There are templates for business, finance, yoga, health, education, office rental, YouTube intro, hot deals, beauty store, daily report etc. Many.

Choose an avatar/model

There are many avatars to choose from, below are some, aimed at different use cases:

Some of the avatars available.

If you click on an avatar in their avatars section, you can get a little demo of that person, and hear their voice. They also speak different languages.

They seem pretty realistic in video and voice, though they are not perfectly human, but they don’t sound or look robotic.

Mostly, it’s their faces that move, but they sometimes move their heads and they also sway a little, which makes the avatars look more human.
Some of them even move their arms and hands.

You might notice the men’s voice boxes moving. Neat.

Languages

The displayed avatars are varied, and they speak different languages too. This can be really helpful if you’re reaching out to varied and far-flung markets. I clicked on Laura, below, who speaks English, but Jo Eunkang at the top of the article, I believe, speaks Korean. I also heard Chinese (Mandarin/Putonghua).

You can see a demo from each avatar, here is Laura.

More about Templates

With the templates, you can see little demo videos. Here is one from Jonathan, the news anchor, with World News, not just a solid or fading colour background.

Make your videos with AI

There are stock images, audio and video available to search and use.

With that, you can make your first video, your free trial, but to keep using it, they do ask for pay for their excellent work. The demo video is short, but you can have your own custom-made demo.

There is a 1,000-character limit but don’t worry, that’s just for each slide. Of course, you can get GPT to generate the text for you, that’s integrated. ChatGPT is not brilliant at counting the characters or words. but you can just put more text on the subsequent slides.

You can listen to the audio to check it sounds correct and good. Next, get a preview. Finally, hit the Generate button to get your video.

Here’s a screengrab of me creating my free demo video.
The preview already has extra words and slides, automatically generated.
The preview doesn’t animate the avatar but the voice sounds very excellent, with the right pauses and speeds of different parts of the sentences.

If you have an audio file, you can upload that instead, or record it in the studio.

Creating the demo video.

Careful! When I clicked “Generate”, it told me I’d be charged for the predicted length of the video, which was longer than 60 seconds, and then it seemed to lose my video, taking me to generate a new video.

This was a bit mysterious to me for a minute, but it asked me to login again, and my video was there, saved.

BE CAREFUL to not generate more than your free 60 seconds.

There are 3 paid tiers.

The first paid tier, Starter, is $30/mon if paid monthly or just $24/mon if paid annually. This includes 10 minutes per month, 10 minutes per video and 6 scenes per video, as well as 100+ virtual people, over 80 languages and no watermarks.

The second tier, Pro. The pricing is $225/mon or $180/mon if paid annually. This includes 90 minutes per month, 20 minutes per video and 25 scenes per video, as well as priority video processing and API access.

The tier with the highest features is called Enterprise as the price needs to be negotiated. This top tier includes all the features in Pro, plus, up to 50 scenes per video, a custom AI Avatar and 24/7 Priority Support.

Whichever tier is right for you, this is where to go:

AI Humans

Above was just about their AI studios, but DeepBrain also do virtual humans.

Here’s a selection:

Some of the virtual humans, they move and everything.

These are virtual humans. In the line-up, they move about and have gestures, they look like real people.

Apparently, these can talk to you and their response times are under a second! Usually, it takes a while for bots’ responses to get turned into audio for you, maybe several seconds, long pauses … kind of weird and you’re not sure if they’re still working. Under a second is impressive.

AI hiring

DeepBrain also has tools to help you hire the right staff, with automated interviews and resume scanning.
