Automatic transcript. May contain errors.0:00All right. So we are going to talk about this one product that can decrease your time to getting a shorts video out. So a Reels, a TikTok, or a Shorts. And I know the squad over here, maybe they're not too big of fans of this product, but this product, I was at an event a couple weeks ago. This guy runs perhaps one of the most popular TikTok UGC agencies, so user-generated content. And he's like, he's the creative brains of that organization. He's like, dude, you gotta check out this product. I was like, what is this product? It's called Opus.pro, Opus.pro. We've kind of talked about this on the podcast.
0:33I didn't use it until this week. And funny enough, Neil, I took a 30 minute clip from our reaction videos and I dumped it into this tool. What it does is it uses AI. It'll take like a 15 minute plus video and it will find the hooks in there and it'll make a title for you as well. And it'll also score it on how well, how viral it thinks will go. And it'll give the reason for it too. Wait, have you tried it? You've tried it out? I've tried it. And I took a video of you. So basically it'll pull this, right? And as you're talking, it'll be on you and I'll put like the captions and all that and emojis too.
1:03And then to move over to me and I'll do the same thing. And I would say I put the video up and it performed just as well as the other shorts on a marketing school YouTube channel, but it didn't perform better. I didn't perform better, but that's, I've only posted like two so far. I'm going to be posting a lot more because now, but did you take the ones that has scored the highest? I took the two top scoring ones. So I'm curious what ends up happening after you tested out with like 10 videos. So maybe their scoring is off, but it sounds like the video quality is good enough. It saves a lot of time and editing and money as well.
1:35Yeah. So now I don't need to wait like two, three, four days for someone. I'm just going to do it. Right. And so now I'm like, Neil, how do we do more reaction videos? How we do longer form videos? Because you just slice and dice it into shorts. For example, this video that's being recorded right now is a consistent one. We're not starting and stopping like we usually do. Now this is a long one. I'm just going to take the raw font, dump it into Opus. And then I'm going to crank out a bunch. The hooks will be me saying video number you're actually so you know it's funny you do a better job with your short ones because like you go straight into like a nice hook and facts so everything you say it's funny people have told me this before i kind of will tell a story and connect random things and then bring it all together but yours is more like in a straight line because yours is not scripted no well no you're talking about my shorts no i'm just talking about like how you talk in general Yeah, but that's just personality types, right?
2:27Yeah. But anyway, I'm going to be doing a lot more. You guys should be doing it as well. You should go tell AJ to do it. It's definitely worth it. Yeah, I'm going to have Salo just try it out. Because who else? I mean, who's going to complain? Oh my God, this video is like low quality editing. It matters like what you say. Dude, so much. Everyone, I remember when I started creating video content, everyone's like, you need the production quality. Amazing. We used to try all this and spend so much money. And what I really learned in the long run was People don't care about the production quality as much.
2:55Just as it'd be good enough. Just audio. Yes, that matters. Audio matters. But what they really care about is the content that you're delivering. Heck, dude, even if the audio is not perfect, but the content that you're presenting is amazing, the video will still do well. Yep. All right, everyone. So check it out. Opus.pro. They're not paying us to say this. And shout out to Thomas Ma from Sapphire Apps for bringing up the product. That is it for today. Please don't forget to rate, view, subscribe. Five stars, please. and we'll see you tomorrow
