AI Tools for Video Creation: Has Anyone Tried Using Workflows to Stay Consistent?
Hey PH friends đ
Lately, Iâve been having a lot of conversations around creator burnout â 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).
Whatâs helped me and others in my circle is using workflow-based AI tools that guide the entire content process â from trending topic discovery to scriptwriting to scheduling and publishing. These tools act like mini-content teams for creators, small businesses, and educators.
One Iâve been exploring a lot is focused on faceless video creation, especially for people who donât want to be on camera but still want to grow an audience or monetize through affiliate links, newsletters, etc.
So Iâm 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 whatâs working for you â whether youâre using automation, batching, or AI assistance. Iâm always looking to learn from how others are navigating this fast-moving space.
Letâs trade notes below đ

Iâve got a few strategies thatâve saved my butt more than once. Check these out:
Batch Like a Boss: Donât create one post at a time. Thatâs a trap. Batch your workârecord multiple videos in a day, write a monthâs worth of tweets, or design a weekâs graphics in one go. I block off Fridays to shoot vids at once. Same lighting, same energy, less stress. Itâs like meal prepping, but for content.
Set Boundaries, Fam: Your brain needs a break. Schedule âno-createâ zonesâtimes when youâre not brainstorming, editing, or scrolling analytics. I donât touch my laptop after 8 p.m. Thatâs my time to chill, hit the gym, or binge a show. Protect your downtime like itâs 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 aheadâtopics, deadlines, the works. Itâs not sexy, but it keeps me from scrambling last minute. Systems are your sidekick when inspiration dips.
Outsource the Small Stuff: If youâre juggling everythingâediting, captions, thumbnailsâyouâre 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 youâre not having fun. Mix up your formatsâtry 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 âem didnât fit my brand. Pick projects that align with your goals. Itâs okay to ghost the noise.
