What software would you recommend for making and automating faceless videos for social media?
depends how much you wanna automate, but heres how i'd split it. script: let ai draft it, but read the hook yourself every time. first two seconds is where slop shows up most. keep a swipe file of hooks that worked in your niche and feed those in as examples. voice: safe to automate. pick one voice and stick with it so the channel feels consistent. just listen for mispronouced names and numbers. visuals and captions: automatable, but check the clips actually match the line being said. mismatched b-roll is the giveaway that its generated. posting: automate fully. buffer or metricool handle scheduling if you build videos elsewhere, or an all in one like Faceless.so does generation and posting together (disclosure: i work on it). either way, batch review on your phone once a day instead of editing. what stays manual: a weekly look at retention. kill formats that people swipe off early and double down on the ones that hold. thats the part no tool does for you, and its what separates a channel that grows from one that just posts.
Need advice on YT automation
yes, all of it can be automated, script, voice, visuals, captions and the upload. but whether it works depends on what you automate first and what you still look at yourself. automate the boring stuff first: scheduling and uploading, captions, formatting. zero quality cost there. then voice and b-roll. script is the part i'd keep a human eye on, mainly the first 2 seconds and any facts, because thats where generic filler gets exposed and people swipe. before you go full autopilot, post maybe 20 to 30 videos in one narrow niche with one repeatable format, then check retention, not views. if average watch time is bad, more volume just gives you more bad videos faster. also skim every video before it goes live for the first few weeks. once you know what usualy breaks (wrong pronunciation, mismatched clips, weak hook), you can loosen the review. the channels that die are usually the ones that automated judgement along with the work.
Has anyone here actually built a faceless short-form video workflow using AI?
short answer: it's practical for educational stuff, but the weak spot is exactly what you're worried about, local language. education is actually the easier genre, because a clear script, a decent voice, captions and relevant b-roll carry it. nobody expects cinematic shots. where it breaks in non english: the voice. numbers, loanwords, names and stress on certain syllables get mangled. and llm scripts often read like translated english, so write or at least rewrite the script directly in your language. captions: dont use speech to text on the ai voice. burn in captions from your own script text, auto transcription in smaller languages is where the typos come from. how i'd test before commiting: take one 30 sec script, run it through two or three voice engines, and have a native speaker listen blind. if they cringe in the first 5 seconds, thats your answer. then post maybe 10 videos in one format and look at 3 second retention, not views. expect a review pass on every video, the time saving comes from not filming, not from skipping review.
anyone actually tried those one click ai tiktok makers that auto post too?
short answer: the auto posting part is the easy bit and works fine in basically every tool. what decides retention is everything before it. what actually moves it: - the hook in the first 1-2 seconds. if it opens with "did you know" filler, people swipe - original scripts. if the tool recycles the same top 10 facts everyone elses tool pulls, you look like slop because its definitly the same content. give it a specific angle or a niche with a point of view - varied voice and visuals. same voice and same style of stock clip on every video is the tell - caption pacing. words should land with the voice, not trail behind it - format. stories and lists with a payoff hold better than generic facts and dont let it post blind. review the first 20 or so by hand, write down what you cut every time, then fix that in your prompt or settings. after that spot check a few a week. thier "one click" is true for posting, not for taste.
How to make tik tok videos in bulk
split the pipeline by what actually automates well. scheduling and captions are basically solved. voice is fine now too. script is ok if you give it a tight niche and a hook rule, otherwise every video opens the same way. b-roll matching is the weak link, thats where quality tanks first. before you commit to any tool, generate 10 videos in your niche and watch them back to back. if the hooks, pacing and stock clips feel samey by video 5, tiktok will see it too. also check: can you review before it posts, does it post directly or just dump into drafts, can you edit a single clip without redoing everything, and do you own the output. capcut templates and opus are good if you already have footage or longform. if you want it fully from scratch, tools like Faceless.so do script to post (disclosure: i work on it), but test it the same way as the rest. whatever you pick, vary formats across the week, daily volume of one identical template is the real newbie mistake.
