make youtube video fast with AI, but with limitation
okay, after a few days of trying steve.ai tier 2. this is my review about steve.ai
1. for tier-2 we will get 3 users, with each user a maximum of 100 downloads/month = 300 downloads. this is quite kind, compared to tier 1 which only 40 downloads / month. means we get 7x benefit.
2. per video that we create with AI is limited to 30 scenes, with a duration of about 3 minutes. this one is quite confusing. because at the beginning, support said we can create video max 20 minutes. but apparently it can only be done with 30 scenes AI. If you want to add the rest, you can manually copy and paste the scene one by one in the workspace. But this reduces the benefits of video by AI because it has to do it manually.
you can find the workflow here:

3. The second way is by dividing each video into a maximum of 30 scenes. so for example we want to make a 20 minute video (let's say about 200 scenes as promised by steve.ai) we are forced to divide it into 7 videos, with 30 scenes each. But it has drawbacks because every video we download will reduce our download credit. so from 100 downloads, 7 credits have been reduced. With this second workflow, we have the advantage that we don't do it manually, video creation still assisted by AI. But reduces download credits significantly. So with this second workflow, we can only get a maximum of 3 minutes x 100 videos = 300 minutes of video/month/user (5 hours of video/month). okay, still better than having to manually add 1 scene as suggested by the steve.ai support team
4. quite a lot of characters for animation. we can change the movement, change the character and even replace the expression quickly. nice
5. scenes from AI are enough to help speed up video creation. and this is the one that made me buy steve.ai. My plan is to routinely make 1-3 videos per day, and it's impossible for me to do it manually. The solution is to hire an editor or assisted by AI at steve.ai and I chose steve.ai because apart from being quite helpful it is also for a longer period of time, cheaper than having to outsource to another team.
6. I also choose only use free resources, because I realise that using premium there are additional costs. and it doesn't matter, because I mostly use animation
7. The support team is also quite helpful, usually it doesn't take up to 1x24 hours to get answers to questions via email. For online chat support there is a problem, I can't bring it up in the browser.
8. Not support many language, so i stick with english script only.
9. They say will improve limitation 30 scenes becomes 100 scenes in the future. will wait for that.
I think this is a pretty honest review, seeing some recent reviews with 1 star because they think premium resources are included in this offer. Even though steve.ai has mentioned several times that they do not accept payments from premium sources.
So for now 5 tacos for me. because it helped me make a youtube channel quickly.

May 9, 2024Hello widhibek,
It's been wonderful answering your queries and thanks a ton for leaving us this amazing review. Based on your feedback, we are working on the communications and also increasing the scene limit. The workaround you suggested is actually great, generating multiple videos and stitching them together. But worry not, you will not have to do this sooner. We have also taken up multiple languages in our coming sprint which takes 2-4 weeks for completion.
Happy to see Steve has helped accelerate your video efforts and we can't thank you enough for the support.
Cheers!
