AI can generate videos and images in seconds.
And the results can look impressive.
But they’re rarely right on the first try.
It takes multiple prompts, adjustments, and iterations—even if you know what you’re doing.
And we all know the issues: strange details, broken hands, slightly off faces.
AI gets you close.
But not precise.
Where Skill Makes the Difference
If you understand the language of a photographer or videographer, everything changes. You will be a lot more efficient if you direct AI with:
• camera angles and movement
• lens choices and depth of field
• lighting and composition
• color balance and mood
The more you understand, the closer AI gets to your vision.
And if it's still not right, you can still photoshop it.
Where It Gets Interesting
Things get especially interesting when AI is combined with After Effects. AI generates the base—then you can blend it with live-action content, refine it, and shape it into something truly unique.
