These Channels Will No Longer Be Monetized in 2023
Wise words from the guys at Movavi this week regarding “one click” or automated type content on YouTube.
Given the rate at which technology is being introduced to the world of video and video editing it is not surpising that there are a bunch of automated content creation strategies being released.
Probably the most popular of the new kids on the block is Chat GPT.
From the outside it all looks to be awesome and surefire way of creating endless text for content so we can all get rich! Woohoo!
Well not so fast there tiger.
If the technology exists to create human like content then the technology exists to detect that the content is not human.
For the moment Google is letting that one slide but the day will probably come when they will have to make a choice beteeen human and A.I. generated content and for a lot pf people that will not be a good day.
The same goes for automated or A.I. generated video on YouTube.
There is always a grace period with any of these things but when the hammer drops, it drops really hard.

How to Create a Presentation Video in Filmora 12 – Keyframing for Noobs
Even if you are not interested in creating this specific type of video or are not even using Filmora, this one is worth watching.
The key here is the technique of buliding up a projects and using features such as keyframing to add life and interest to your project.
What is Auto Reframe by Filmora?
One of the pains of modern video content creation is the fact that it seems like every social platform requires a different aspect ratio for uploads. 16:9 for YouTube, 1:1 for Facebook, 9:16 for Instagram and on it goes.
Repurposing and reformatting from one format to the other is often a slow process if the subject keeps moving within the frame.
In Filmora a few versions back they introduced a feature called auto Reframe to help with this problem.
It is not exactly a perfect solution but goes a long way in reducing the pain!
The feature has the ability to identify the subject of a given video then intelligently crop the video to a new aspect ration making sure the subject stays in the frame.
As I said, not perfect but the amount of time it saves can be quite significant.
