🔗Veo — highest momentum in the stack but newest to market — API access tiers and rate limits are still in flux as Google scales the product

💰Under $60/mo for a full AI video pipeline. Comparable human video production: $2,000–$10,000 per finished video.

⚡Veo + Pika covers raw generation; Captions handles post-production. Synthesia is optional — skip it if you don't need presenter-style formats.

Step-by-step guide

Prompt Your Footage

Veo30 min

Write text prompts in Google Veo to generate cinematic video clips. Be specific: include lighting style, camera movement, and mood. Generate 4–6 variations per scene and keep the best 2.

Heat score:70Rising

💡Prompt format: '[subject], [action], [camera movement], [lighting], [mood]' — e.g. 'founder at laptop, typing fast, slow zoom in, morning window light, focused energy'

💡Keep individual clips under 8 seconds — they stitch better in post

✓Output: 4–8 raw AI video clips ready for editing

Generate Motion Graphics & B-Roll

Pika20 min

Use Pika to create animated text overlays, product shots, and dynamic visual sequences you can't easily generate in Veo. Ideal for intros, logo reveals, and abstract concept visuals.

Heat score:18Heating Up

💡Pika's image-to-video mode works well for turning product screenshots into animated demos

💡Use consistent colour palette prompts across Veo and Pika to keep footage visually coherent

✓Output: Animated b-roll and motion graphic clips

Record an AI Presenter Segment

Synthesia15 min

Paste your script into Synthesia, select an avatar that matches your brand, and render a talking-head segment in under 10 minutes. Use this for explainer sections or product walkthroughs.

Heat score:19Cooling Down

💡Keep presenter scripts under 90 seconds per segment — audiences retain more from short, punchy takes

💡Synthesia's custom avatar feature lets you clone your own likeness if you need on-brand consistency

✓Output: Polished presenter video segment with no camera required

Auto-Caption, Edit, and Resize

Captions20 min

Import all clips into Captions. Let the AI auto-caption, trim silence, and suggest B-roll placements. Use the platform-specific resize presets to export separate cuts for each distribution channel.

Heat score:62Rising

💡Captions' silence trimmer alone saves 20–30 minutes of manual editing per video

💡Export YouTube (16:9), TikTok/Reels (9:16), and LinkedIn (1:1) from a single edit — never crop manually

✓Output: Platform-ready exports for YouTube, TikTok, and LinkedIn

Batch Publish and Iterate

Captions15 min

Schedule your platform-specific exports using each platform's native scheduler (YouTube Studio, TikTok Creator, LinkedIn). Track 48-hour performance — views, watch time, shares. Repurpose the clips with the highest watch-through rate into new Veo prompts.

Heat score:62Rising

💡The best-performing clip formats almost always work as new Veo prompts — close the feedback loop

💡Aim for 2 weekly long-form videos and 5 short clips, all produced from the same 90-minute session

✓Output: Published video content + documented prompt library for future batches
