The biggest problem with making videos isn’t creativity. It’s friction.
You get an idea, you open your editor, and suddenly you’re stuck: finding clips, cutting, pacing, adding text, adjusting timing. Even a 20–30 second video can take hours if you want it to feel right. That’s why most good ideas die as notes.
Lately I’ve been treating AI video tools as a “draft engine.” Instead of aiming for a perfect first version, I make a rough cut fast and use it to test one thing: does the idea work on screen? A draft instantly tells you if the hook is boring, if the message is unclear, or if the pacing drags. Once you can watch it, editing becomes decisions instead of guesswork.
A simple workflow that’s been working for me:
Write a one-sentence hook (what the viewer gets in 3 seconds).
Add 3–5 bullet points (the structure).
Generate a quick draft video from text or a couple of images.
Rewatch and fix only what’s obviously wrong (timing, order, clarity).
Then polish if it’s worth polishing.
This is where tools like vidmix video fit naturally for me—not as a “magic button,” but as a quick way to turn an outline into something watchable, so I can iterate without spending the whole night in an editor.
The funny part is: making drafts faster actually makes the final videos better. You experiment more, you take more risks, and you stop overthinking. When the first version is easy, you create more versions—and one of them usually hits.
If you’re trying to post consistently, don’t wait for perfection. Make drafts, learn from what you see, and let the final cut be the result of iteration, not the starting requirement.
