AI Tools for Video Creation: Has Anyone Tried Using Workflows to Stay Consistent?

Hey PH friends 👋


Lately, I’ve been having a lot of conversations around creator burnout — especially with short-form content. Everyone knows video is king, but between research, writing, filming, editing, and posting, it can feel like a full-time job (and for some of us, it is).


What’s helped me and others in my circle is using workflow-based AI tools that guide the entire content process — from trending topic discovery to scriptwriting to scheduling and publishing. These tools act like mini-content teams for creators, small businesses, and educators.


One I’ve been exploring a lot is focused on faceless video creation, especially for people who don’t want to be on camera but still want to grow an audience or monetize through affiliate links, newsletters, etc.

So I’m curious:

  • Are you using any AI tools to streamline video content creation?

  • Have you experimented with faceless content?

  • How do you stay consistent with publishing without burning out?

Would love to hear what’s working for you — whether you’re using automation, batching, or AI assistance. I’m always looking to learn from how others are navigating this fast-moving space.

I’ve got a few strategies that’ve saved my butt more than once. Check these out:

  • Batch Like a Boss: Don’t create one post at a time. That’s a trap. Batch your work—record multiple videos in a day, write a month’s worth of tweets, or design a week’s graphics in one go. I block off Fridays to shoot vids at once. Same lighting, same energy, less stress. It’s like meal prepping, but for content.

  • Set Boundaries, Fam: Your brain needs a break. Schedule “no-create” zones—times when you’re not brainstorming, editing, or scrolling analytics. I don’t touch my laptop after 8 p.m. That’s my time to chill, hit the gym, or binge a show. Protect your downtime like it’s your paycheck.

  • Lean on Systems: Get organized. Use tools like Trello, Notion, or even a basic Google Sheet to plan your content calendar. I map out my posts a month or two ahead—topics, deadlines, the works. It’s not sexy, but it keeps me from scrambling last minute. Systems are your sidekick when inspiration dips.

  • Outsource the Small Stuff: If you’re juggling everything—editing, captions, thumbnails—you’re asking for trouble. Hire a VA or barter with a friend to handle the grunt work. Frees me up to focus on what I love: creating.

  • Check Your Vibe: Burnout often creeps in when you’re not having fun. Mix up your formats—try a podcast, a live stream, or a meme post. Try a Q&A on X instead of your usual vid. Changeups keep it fresh.

  • Say No Sometimes: Not every collab or trend is worth your energy. I used to jump on every TikTok challenge till I realized half of ‘em didn’t fit my brand. Pick projects that align with your goals. It’s okay to ghost the noise.
