Automated clip creation tools have become legion

This type of tool has been eagerly awaited since generative AI took off with the release of ChatGPT at the end of 2022: the technique makes it possible to produce all kinds of content, upon simple query in everyday language.

After text and images, video generation has gained a lot in quality this year. Online advertising giants Google, Meta (Facebook, Instagram) and Amazon launched tools for automated advertising clip creation last month.

Clips created easily

In its press release, TikTok highlights data showing that advertising campaigns are more effective when their content is renewed twice a week. “But maintaining this level of creativity can be difficult, especially for advertisers with limited resources,” notes the company, a subsidiary of Chinese giant ByteDance.

Called “Symphony Creative Studio,” TikTok’s tool can generate a video from a product description, add an AI avatar to comment on that product, and even incorporate dubbing into different languages, all in just minutes .
