Why This Matters

{"hook":"Video content is increasingly dominant; platforms prioritise it, audiences prefer it, and creators profit from it. However, professional video production requires expensive equipment, technical expertise, and significant time investment.","body":"AI democratises video production. AI scriptwriting generates compelling narratives; AI editing platforms automate the technical side; AI voiceovers eliminate voice-talent costs. What traditionally required a production team can now be handled by one person.","asia_lens":"Asian markets have specific video preferences: short-form vertical video dominates across Instagram Reels and TikTok in India, Southeast Asia, and East Asia; storytelling often emphasises family and community values; diverse language support is essential."}

Both approaches work. AI voiceovers save time and enable multiple languages. Your own voice builds personal connection. Many successful creators mix both.
Consistency beats volume. One well-crafted video weekly usually outperforms three mediocre ones daily. Start with one per week; expand if quality remains high.
