There’s no magic button for great videos, but there is a smarter process. At Viral Ideas, AI helps us move faster, stay organized, and focus on creativity instead of admin tasks. It’s not about replacing humans; it’s about giving them more time to do what they do best.

If you’ve read How AI Helps Creative Teams Save Time in Video Production, you already know how much time AI saves. Here, we’ll show you exactly where it fits into our workflow from start to finish.

‍

1. Research & Brainstorming

‍

When we start a new project, AI helps us dig deep into audience interests, trends, and tone. For instance, if we’re working on a real estate campaign, AI can quickly surface what’s trending on YouTube, TikTok, or LinkedIn, saving our strategists hours of research.

But this is where humans take over. We decide which angles feel genuine and emotionally relevant. As Dave said in How We Use AI to Speed Up Video Production Without Losing the Human Touch, “AI gives us the ideas, we bring the intuition.”

2. Script Development

‍

AI structures the flow of a script, making sure the pacing feels natural. Then our creative team steps in to add emotion, rhythm, and voice.

It’s like AI builds the framework, but humans build the heart.

‍

3. Editing and Post-Production

‍

AI tools have completely changed the editing game. We use them for transcription, auto-captioning, and rough cut suggestions. That’s what helps us hit deadlines faster, but our editors still fine-tune everything, from transitions to timing, ensuring the story actually connects.

You can see more of how we handle that emotional touch in Why Emotional Storytelling Still Needs a Human Touch.

4. Optimization

‍

Once a video is ready, we use AI to analyze engagement data and predict performance patterns. This helps us decide which cuts, formats, or lengths perform best across different platforms.

Still, we never rely on data alone. If something feels off, even if the numbers look fine, our team trusts instinct first.
