Key takeaways

How do you create faceless videos with Blotato AI?

Blotato lets you add a YouTube video as a source, then automatically generates repurposed content across platforms, including a faceless video with your choice of theme, voice, and style. You select which post types to keep (Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, blog, Pinterest), generate a script, choose a theme like cyberpunk, enable a voiceover, and export the finished video.

What social platforms does Blotato post to automatically?

Blotato can generate content for Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, blog posts, TikTok, and Pinterest from a single added source video. In the walkthrough, several of these were deselected (TikTok, blog, Pinterest) to focus on a smaller set, with the option to add blog posts back in afterward.

How do you turn a YouTube video into faceless video content in Blotato?

  1. Copy the link of the YouTube video you want to repurpose.
  2. Inside Blotato, add the video as a source.
  3. Choose which post types to generate (Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, blog, TikTok, Pinterest).
  4. For faceless video generation, pick a topic or storyline, select an educational or other content style, and set video length (for example, 30 seconds).
  5. Generate the script, then choose a visual theme (cyberpunk and other styles are available) and a voice.
  6. Enable voiceover and generate a draft.
  7. Choose content settings like image zoom and generation quality, then generate the video using credits.
  8. Export and download the finished video to upload to platforms like YouTube.

What else is inside the Blotato content calendar and prompt library?

Blotato includes a content calendar that shows scheduled posts alongside published and failed posts, and a built-in library of prompts engineered to help with posting and social traction, including YouTube script templates. These prompts inform how source content gets remixed into different formats, and users can select existing prompts as captions or starting points for their own posts.

Hey everyone, Darby here with Gen AI University, and in this video I’m going to share with you how you can take a YouTube video, copy the link, and create faceless posts and faceless videos in a much shorter amount of time than it would take you traditionally. So you can check out genaiuniversity.com/blotato to sign up through our referral link if you find this useful and helpful and want to get started on your own.

Basically, inside of a Blotato account you can get started and up and running very quickly by simply adding a source. I’m going to add this video, save it as a source. Blotato is going to go out and do its thing: number of posts, generate Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn – we’ll go ahead and generate those – and then a blog as well, might as well hit up Pinterest too. Oh no, okay, so I’m going to remove TikTok, I’m going to remove blog, I’m going to remove Pinterest – one, two, three, four – and we’ll do five for the blog.

But you can see now Blotato is going to work, basically having your own version of an AI agent that’ll go and do this, trained with Sabrina, their founder, her genius on the back end and a lot of what she’s doing, so you don’t have to build that stuff yourself. You can just use a tool like Blotato. So it’s going to give you blog posts, YouTube, LinkedIn takeouts: “In a week you can outline a draft,” “In a week, here’s how you can do it,” “Method,” “What’s stopping you from writing yours?” So I could like this one, I could generate a different version of this. You see, “Writing a book is easier than never.” “No experience? No software? No tool? Struggle.” Yeah.

So uploading a video right here, that’s interesting. So now I can use this for video generation: story topic, “Writing a book,” with a, say, educational style, remove the word “you.” All right, so I’m going to make this 30 seconds, generate the script. Now I can choose the theme – let’s go cyberpunk, see a number of other themes here, see the name – select this one, Alice, stability, keep it, enable voiceover, bottom, generate draft.

All right, content image with zoom, just start the cheapest right now, generate, six credits. So you get a certain amount of credits with the account, so you can see this is plenty to play around with. You see how it generated the theme and the style with all of these. If you like it, you can export. All right, cool, we’ll just run with this. And yeah, so you download the video and then you can upload it and have a short.

“Did you know you can use AI to help write your next book? Imagine having a brainstorming buddy who never runs out of ideas. With tools like Claude 3.7, crafting a story has never been easier. We recently turned an interview into a book draft in just under an hour. Curious how we did it? Check out our latest video to find out.”

You’ve also got your content calendar here – see, I obviously haven’t set my schedule up – you can check out published posts, videos, failed posts. One cool thing about Blotato is the prompts that they’ve got built in down here. You see the prompts, and a lot of these are already engineered in a style that’s designed to help with posting and getting traction on social media. You see all these different YouTube scripts, and a lot of these are what are informing the remixing of the content. See all these different “interview yourself” – I’m just going to use this actually as the caption for something like YouTube, and that’ll lead into the full video. So I won’t publish this, I’ll just copy and paste it over and then get the video uploaded to YouTube and then link back to the full hour-long podcast episode with it.

But you see how quickly you can just do all of that here inside Blotato, and you have a ton of room for creative freedom around that when it comes to prompting and engineering the different videos and things like that, but staying within the constraints of what’s already proven to work. And so if you’re using your own content, this is going to be optimized for the different social media platforms without me needing to go back into one or a number of different Claude or ChatGPT or any number of these, because they’re all integrated in behind here for the best use case of them.

I hope you found that useful. If you do, let me know with a comment, let me know, feel free to share this with anyone you think would also find this useful. Then head on over to genaiuniversity.com/blotato to check it out and try it out for yourself, and I recommend also following Sabrina, the founder and creator of Blotato, on any one of her social media channels. Good luck and happy posting. Cheers.
