AI Video Production: 'Topview AI' Enables Consistent Tone and Flow

Existing AI video production tools were excellent at generating individual cuts, but had the problem of difficulty in maintaining consistency between cuts when assembling multiple cuts into a single video. There were many criticisms that the consistency of the results was low, to the extent that if ten cuts were made, eight had to be discarded, as one cut would have a dawn aesthetic while the next would show a midday landscape. This was a factor that required considerable time and effort to match the overall texture of the video.

Topview AI, a new entry, is designed to allow users to choose between a video generation model and a conversational model, unlike existing tools. Users can select video models such as Sidense 2.0, and separately, directly specify a conversational model that will communicate with the user and guide the consistency of the work. Selecting a conversational model like Claude Fable 5 has been shown to play a decisive role in maintaining a consistent tone and style throughout the video production process.

Before producing a video, it is important to prepare effective directing techniques in advance. For example, 'Here-Rise' makes the product stand out like a hero, and 'Light Sweep' gives the effect of light sweeping across the image. In addition, various techniques such as floating, exploded view, silhouette reveal, macro detail, and parallax exist. It is not necessary to know all these techniques in advance; the fastest and most accurate way is to directly ask the AI you are using to recommend suitable directing techniques for a perfume advertisement video.

Knowing various video directing techniques is essential to accurately instruct the AI on the desired image and obtain results. Instead of simply asking, “You take care of it,” clearly stating which techniques to use will enable the creation of a video closer to the user’s intention.

Topview AI's 'Canvas' feature innovatively improves the video production process. Unlike existing AI tools that provide results in fragmented forms, requiring users to manually organize and check each one, Topview AI integrates all results into a single canvas. This operates much like the design tool 'Figma,' helping users intuitively arrange video cuts and check the overall flow at a glance.

The canvas feature allows free insertion of text, similar to PPT or Figma, making it useful for systematically planning advertisement drafts. Users can write text like 'A-cut' or 'B-cut' on the canvas and classify or arrange generated videos according to their purpose. Furthermore, by freely moving cuts with the mouse, users can adjust the order of videos and pre-plan the overall flow, enabling efficient ideation before final editing.

The canvas feature allows the application of 'diagrammatic sense' in video work, similar to how diagramming is crucial in PPT work. Structuring complex video flows to be viewable at a glance clarifies what video is being made and what its current progression is. This visualization enhances understanding of the work and aids in efficient decision-making.

Topview AI's conversational model operates via a chat window located next to the canvas, continuously recognizing what style of video the user is creating. This conversational model reduces the occurrence of the video's tone changing unexpectedly with each cut generated by the user, helping to maintain a natural connection with previous cuts. In particular, conversational models like Claude Fable 5 do not lose the flow of conversation and continuously maintain the video's texture, even suggesting the next cut, thereby increasing work efficiency.

A demonstration was conducted to actually produce a short advertisement using Topview AI. This AI generates videos of about 6 to 10 seconds per cut, so the plan is to complete the advertisement by creating and connecting multiple cuts.

When instructing AI to generate video, it is crucial to explain in as much detail as possible. Vague instructions can lead to ambiguous results. Additionally, instead of waiting for one video to be generated, you can pre-enter ideas for the next cut in the chat window to work on multiple videos simultaneously. This is an effective method for significantly reducing work time.

AI frequently asks users questions such as, "Shall I do it this way, or that way?" before proceeding with a task. While it may seem a bit bothersome at first, it helps to confirm the intent accurately before generating the video, leading to more satisfying results. The important point is that if the user does not answer these questions, the process will not move to the next stage, so users must pay close attention to AI's questions and respond promptly.

During the video production process, there are times when you might change your mind and want to revise the video flow. Topview AI's canvas feature makes such changes very easy. For example, if you really liked the second cut generated, you can use your mouse to move that cut to the very front of the A-cuts. Just like moving a cut that was originally in position 1 to position 2, the big advantage is that you can visually compose the video's order on the canvas beforehand, even if the actual editing happens later.

While Topview AI is strong in generating video cuts, its music control features are still lacking. It seemed to support continuous music generation, but this was not the case in practice. Therefore, for tasks like adding music or applying detailed effects during the final editing stage, it is advisable to use professional video editing tools such as Final Cut or Premiere. When using Topview AI, it is most effective to focus on creating cuts for scenes.

Topview AI also has an internal editing function that allows refining cuts via a timeline. This method provides an intuitive and easy-to-use operation that is familiar to Final Cut users. However, for detailed aspects, final touches, and applying various effects, it is still weaker compared to professional video editing tools. Therefore, it is recommended that Topview AI be used for creating video drafts and structuring the overall flow, while professional tools like Final Cut or Premiere handle detailed editing and finalization.

Topview AI offers a convenient feature that allows users to download multiple generated video cuts at once. Instead of individually saving each cut, users can select up to four desired cuts simultaneously for download, reducing clicks and saving work time.

Through this AI video production experience, what I felt most strongly was that beyond simply generating good videos, how they are connected and arranged in a certain order and texture creates good results. The synergy of the canvas feature, which shows the overall flow at a glance, and the conversational AI, which sets the video's texture, acted as key elements that significantly enhanced work efficiency and the completeness of the results.
