Assignment
1. Read this Overview
AI tools can simplify video editing and unlock creative possibilities by automating tasks like:
- Generating effects: AI can add animations or transitions with minimal effort.
- Enhancing visuals: Tools like AI filters improve video quality or match specific styles.
- Creating content: AI-generated captions, summaries, or even video segments can enhance storytelling.
However, ethical concerns arise when using AI, such as:
- Authenticity: How much of the video is yours if AI creates part of it?
- Bias: AI tools may reflect unintended biases, affecting the outcome.
- Ownership: Who owns content generated or heavily edited by AI?
Example: Imagine using AI to create a futuristic effect in a school video montage while ensuring the final result still feels personal and authentic.
2. Your Task
- Create a 1–2 minute video using at least one AI tool to enhance your content.
