What I learned from this video:
- Automating the creation of faceless videos with animated scenes, voiceovers, and captions.
- Using separate tables in Airtable to manage stories, scenes, and image prompts.
- Defining story types to generate different outputs, like comic news or photorealistic images.
- Triggering automation to generate and assemble stories and scenes.
- Creating image prompts and animated videos for each scene part.
- Generating audio and assembling it with video parts into a final product.
- Configuring Leonardo API for image generation with webhook callbacks for updates.
- Using webhooks to link Json to Videoâs response to Airtable.
Thank you Stephen this is some great content, keep going!
This channel will blow up. Wild stuff. thanks for sharing.
wow thanks for the support!!

c. Optimize Airtable base structure and formulas if needed
Optional: Modify for animated videos
a. Update Leonardo AI API calls to generate animated videos
b. Modify Json-to-video configuration to handle animated inputs
c. Adjust timing and transitions in final video assembly
Documentation and maintenance:
a. Document the system architecture and workflow
b. Create user guides for operating the system
c. Set up monitoring for API usage and quotas
d. Plan for regular updates and maintenance of the system
This detailed breakdown provides a comprehensive guide to building and implementing the automated faceless video creation system, allowing for customization and expansion as needed.
niiiicee! thanks!
This is such a gold mine! Saw the video a couple of times already, too bad I'm broke AF and can't afford the initial investment to get this going, otherwise I'd have jumped on it! You're Great Stephen, thanks for sharing this literal goldmine.
so glad you enjoyed it! the feedback is wonderful, thank you!

the same here
Wow, thanks for this đ
Thank you! With this video, I am truly amazed. I expect that anyone with automation skills has found an online treasure trove. You can sell your skills or use them to earn money. Thanks again-this is a game changer!
thanks for the kind feedback! it means a lot!
You are the BOSS, this is. gold nuggets! Thanks for sharing all this with us
hey thanks! appreciate that! happy to share.
Brilliant video. Something that would be really useful for marketers would be the ability to create these videos quickly but somehow pull footage and images from a repository of âapprovedâ on-brand images / videos rather than using generative assets from Leonardo, stable diffusion, etc. doesnât seem like it would be that hard to do but Iâm guessing there would need to be a few alternative steps in make to search a DAM or storage location for assets with tags that match the script.
Yeah it wouldn't be too hard, especially using AirTable.. keep it simple like two keyword query, and you can have it pull random relevant content
yea you could definitely create a pool of content to pull from, could even tag it so the system would know what to pull from, great idea!
simply mindblown right now.
niiiice!! đȘ
Simply mind blowing. Pictory, invideo going to close shop soon hahha. BTW, about how much to invest in for all these tools mentioned? Thanks
= ) the cost depends a lot on your specific use case so I don't have an estimate
Amazing Stephen
thanks so much!!
I must say this is like out of this world
đ€đ honestly tha ks for your feedback
Amazing content!
Thanks!
Your an absolute machine
was an 8+ hour recording session! ouch!
Thank you so much. That was awesome. I canât believe how fast you talked. Itâs not a bad thing I can slow you down. And watch it again, but I canât imagine go yourself and drink of water đ like an hour you were like an auctioneer.đyou might be really really good at editing and I didnât catch it, but you didnât mess up at all like a perfect marathon sprint checked out your school thatâs cool. Iâll hang out there but canât afford it yet.
Haha oh man this was heavily edited and i had to take a ton of breaks. Thanks for the comments! It took me ALL day. It was really hard lol
Are you MAD bro! This is insane đ€Żđ€Ż. I can't wait to find a day to watch this video at 0.25 speed and follow all the steps to recreate this automation.
Im a madman! đ
Should I adjust the speed from .75 to .25???đ
that's nice. good automation!!!!
thank you!! đ
Pope this is just amazing
God bless for your tutorial
Thanks!! appreciate you.
amazing ideas!
đ
OMG thanks!! Stephen!!
no problem!! đ
Nice Video!
what recording screen software do you use? :)
Ecam live and thanks!
amazing. thank you.
Hey thanks!
need to hide this video from blowing up, cant let this nugget to be shared widely
it's FREE!
Thank you.
Let'sss goooooo â€
Yyyeeeeees! đȘđ
Awesome! Well Explained and Informative. I'm subscribing! *now where did you say you put the airtable Template Link?*
I build the Airtable DB step by step in the video, I have a few of the hard to copy resources in here: bit.ly/4bb3XcB.
I also have the airtable and make blueprints for download inside my new community: skool.com/no-code-architects
@@StephenGPope Thank you so much. Would love to float some bankable ideas your s solution raises repurposing alot of what you have already built with these automation with a twist and replication of SCENEs to included additional prompt automations (scene-story-characters, scene-storyboard etc). wish I had the $ for the community you created....
I know for a FACT that his high school bullies are kicking themselves everyday for not befriending Stephen and having him as one of the crewđ đ âșïž
haha thanks
No one bullied this guy. He bullied the bullies
TWIST he was the HIGH SCHOOL BULLY
I need you to continue please!
what do you want to see next?
Hi Stephen, thanks for this! I am wondering why not use Dalle 3 or Midjourney (routed through make) instead of Leonardo for the image generation part? Is it because of some price or quality reason? Then you could always send it to Leonardo later for the "movement" part. Appreciate your thoughts!
Thats a good idea. You could do that sometimes it comes down to preferences
Most inpressive make I've ever. seen insane thanks, wjat wad tour background to learn to do this or how long to learn, people would pay for this
thank you! I'm a content creator and also a software engineer for 30 years!
Absolutely amazing! Thanks a lot for all this value! im glad that i found you, i was literally looking for some real life example like this!, may i ask some, how mucho would be the cost for this system and API's on a montly basis? like a total for this example?
Suscribed and grateful!
You probably end up spending ~ $100/month to produce quite a few videos
@@StephenGPope thanks!
đ Very nice...
đđ
Just finished building this out. So cool! Any way to add an upscaling step to bring the Leonardo images to a higher resolution before sending to JSON2Video?
Leonardo has an upscaler actually, but doesn't work with their video generation. would have to use something else in that case. but yes totally possible. Nice work building this out!!!
cool stuff thx try to re-build it now...
let me know how it goes!
I love it. Now Faceless CZcams content overload loading...
Haha đȘ
Hi Stephen, I like you you explain everything in detail just wanted to know how to make it for users with a website like other text to speech AI tools Thanks:)
Like what tools?
This is not an automation you would use to build a SAAS, it would be way to expensive, itâs for making content.
I mean I guess you could make an MVP with it, but youâll go broke with API calls
Wow, now thatâs the next level Excel
Airtable is like Excel on steroids
What a journey !
Could I ask how much you pay per month for all this tools ? (airtable/make/Leonardo/chatgpt/jsontovideo/ etc )
thank you for sharing, what app you use for make arrow pointer on mac?
Same question I haveâŠ
demo pro on the mac
demo pro on the mac
Thanks for the detailed guide.
I got stuck at the BUILD FULL VIDEO stage at minute 1:16:00
I run the script successfully but in MAKE it doesn't show that it produces the videos in JSON and therefore in the array aggregator there is no option to select ELEMENTS.
Do you have any idea that can help me with the problem?
probably better to join my free or paid community to post the question with a screenshot so I can see what you're talking about. Debugging this via youTube comments is HARD.
Good morning, completely new to this, so forgive the remedial question, but with the code you provided one can copy and paste to receive same completed results? Change the artice to be specific to my needs? Do you offer freelance services? Thanks
yes, once you have the system you can tweak it to work with your articles, image type, etc! sometimes I do offer freelance services.
@@StephenGPope Great, whats the best way to contact you? Thank you!
What software do you use to record the videos & the "pointer" to annotate?
hey there! it's called Demo Pro on the mac.
GOD!
đȘ
Any idea of what this cost (on a per minute or per video basis) for all the tools, api access to CGPT, etc if you are doing this at a large scale (say 500 mintues or more a month)? I know there are other tools that will do this, but they are 2-3/min of video, which is $$ if you're doing this at scale. I'm wondering if this works out to be half that or less? Just curious before I set the entire thing up. Your tutorials are next level, thanks for all of the great content!.
its going to depend a lot but you can calculate the costs using the Leonardo calculator -- docs.leonardo.ai/docs/plan-with-the-pricing-calculator
Curious how many operations it takes to make a video, how much the video costs in terms of eleven labs, LLM tokens and the monetization strategy for the video. I saw a SAAS company working on something like this but generating marketing videos for B2B clients
Who was the saas company? Looking for solutions that do this and considering the pros and cons of rolling my own vs buying.
I haven't calculated the number of operations exactly, probably 100+ operations per video
Your work is very good, I just have one question, my video is longer than 60 seconds, which generates a json plan error, how can I limit my videos so that the duration is a maximum of 60 seconds?
You would need to ensure that by limiting the story length and scenes by tweaking the prompts in the story type table
@@StephenGPope Could you remind me which part of the video or step by step to make this adjustment?
Great video, very informative. For some reason, I got status code 400 in my HTTP call. Do you know what that reason might be?
I had this issue too. For me it was the position center-centerr was misspelled. I fixed it and that took care of it. On the HTTP module, click the magnifying glass and scroll down to "Output." Click on the + next to "Data" and it will say status "failed" and just below that it will give you the reason why. Check your spellings in the previous JSON modules and make sure everything is setup right. Hope that helps! đ
Thanks NexasofSorcery! you rock! yes, double check that everything was copied correctly
Cool, thanks for sharing, when you say reply about cost 100$/month for making many videos? what's the average for "many" videos? just to get some numbers. cheers!
I really don't have exact numbers for you sorry. you'll need to estimate it by going to the sites and looking at what it will take, and how long the videos are, etc. Not a simple problem to calculate.
I was wondering the same thing. I think if you are going to go large scale, this would proabably be well worth the $$. I'm going to try and figure out a $/min cost.
@@TinkerandBuild Hey! Have you figured out the $/min cost already? would be very nice to know. Thanks in advance.
â@TinkerandBuild have u figured it out?
đ excellent information. I would like to be in your skool community, but I have a question. Could I use all this information to make my content in Spanish? If the answer is yes, of course I pay the monthly payment of skool community đ€đ.
yes you would need to use ElevenLabs multi lingual module! you would just need to convert the english to spanish using ChatGPT then you could use ElevenLab to say everything in Spanish. skool.com/no-code-architects (would be pretty easy to do and I can help you in the community)
@@StephenGPope Thanks for the answer đ
So how this works? for every type of video you want to create, you have to do the whole propcess from 0? and how long videos you create like this could be?
once you have the system in place you can generate videos in a few minutes.
Btw I did everything on video but there are also additional costs.
- Airtable 24usd
- Leonardo ai 9usd
- eleven labs 5usd
- json2video 50usd (if you dont want have a watermarks on videos)
yes, thanks for adding these!
you can do it anywhere completely on free versions.
@@WojciechHerman What do you mean?
@@WojciechHerman how
Wauu! Impressive đ„ any idea of the cost to run this?
I haven't done a full calculation but my guess is ~100/month if you were making a ton of them. Not a lot for a single video but if you make a lot of them.
@@StephenGPope Glad he asked this question. Excellent video! Not to sound anal, but what is 'a lot' in terms of 100/month? Like a specific number range of videos that this will make for that amount
Take a bow! â€
thank you for the kind words!!
This is epic!! only problem is I got 17:30 mins into this and realised when it came to adding the new section its part of the teams and it cant be done on the free mode, which is bummer but hey im gonna have to upgrade to see this through, jus wort ha mention is all :)
let me know how it goes = ) CHALLENGE ACCEPTED! get it!
Wow great video, is there a way to buy an Airtable template off of you?
Yea in skool.com/no-code-architects
Bro. How did you even figure this out!?
It came in a dream đ
hi there, can you share which toll are you using to draw the arrows?
đđ»đđ»đđ»
Wow! Guess I am going to have to wait for this to sink in to my slow brain đ
đ
I understand how you use Leonardo to generate the images and GPT for the transcripts. but how ddi you turn the images into visdeos the text into audio and then combine everyything without a video editor?
Leonardo turns images into videos too
What is the software called for that pink arrow you're using to share and illustrate what you're speaking about?
It's called Demo Pro on the Mac
@@StephenGPope Thank you
is there any alternative for Leonardo the text to image/video generation that using some free API call function?
Not that i know of chatgpt dalle might be the cheapest
@@StephenGPope thank you for sharing this gold
amen brother
đ€
I know this is just a tutorial about make, not about costs, but is there a way to track the costs for the APIs you are calling, for example chatgpt, elevenlabs, jsontovideo, can you have a final cost for the video from the cost of each API? I mean also automated in the workflow instead of going on each platform and see how much you spend for 1 workflow...
yea, technically you could, I think you'd spend the most of the operations on Leonardo (or whatever image generator you use). Which would push you to $100/month+ if you were trying to make a lot of videos. I don't have a case study on how much it costs just for ONE video.
@@StephenGPope thank you for the reply, I see that it is not worth it to do it though, unless if you have a way to monetize the videos, like CZcams or something, đ and btw thank you for sharing this content, I'm grateful for people like you who share free tutorials in hot topics that helps a lot, people like me who like to do self-learning.
@@kiiikoooPT happy to share! thanks for all the feedback, it means a lot.
do you need a paid airtable account to get the "run a script" automation in airtable?
yea
man, what if i want to add an soundtrack, will i have to create another json module?
Hi Stephen
Can you advice how can we upswell cross sell this to our clients and how much to charge
maybe try 2x or 3x your cost, maybe even more if you can master the scripts for them.
Can this be done with fre airtable plan? Or google sheets?
it could but it would waste a lot of make operations using their on demand triggers, you'd spend more on Make than the savings for Airtable.
Thank you for the tutorial. #gold What would be the monthly cost of all tools, if the system would generate 3 videos per day?
dang so many people have asked me that and I just dont have the answer because it depends so much. And I just haven't done the research. but Checkout Leonardo's usage calculator: docs.leonardo.ai/docs/plan-with-the-pricing-calculator
@@StephenGPope ok, thanks!
This is awesome, I've been following along but I am stuck now, in min 50:28 he uses the code from the other link on the description, the thing is the code points to a video url that doesn't exist, I suppose we have to fill that with our own url video, but how do I find that? Anyone? Please help
jump into the free or paid community and drop a screenshot so I can see it, then I might be able to better help!
If you wanted to add music into the final video, how would you do that?
Can we replace Airtable with some other open-source system running on our homelab infra?
I wish to try replace paid services with something which can run on my servers at home.
I'm sure its possible, maybe with nocodb.com
31:30 I have come this far: the first test run through without an error, but no story text comes into the table. Should I be able to see the text in the JSON model in make? Not sure where to go from here
Hello, I was looking for this blueprint in your Skool Channel, and I can't find it. Can you help me? thanks!!!
did you join the Content Academy? it's in the skool.com/no-code-architects
I wonder how much will cost a video? What are the costs for elevenlabs, json2video, leonardo and all the tools involved ?
I'm not sure how much for a single video, probably not much but monthly I bet it's $100/month+ depending on how many videos you want to make.
I'm having problems at 1 hour in i might have missed something, but on All Scenes in the Scenes tab it is giving me links to the json video and not showing me the script instead
that sounds like maybe you wrote the JSON link to the wrong airtable field, feel free to join my free or paid community to ask questions, make sure to drop a screenshot.
Is the content in your skool is the same as youtube ?
no, I include all the make and airtable templates.
he really loves arrows
hahahah yea
If I want to use the JSON2Video API Key I need to subscribe?
bro your video is great but I wish the next time you would say at the beginning that for most of the tutorial here I need to have an upgraded account for each platform
Thanks for the feedback. Yea most of my videos will require some paid subscriptions. Some more than others.
Do you have a link to the YT channel that uses this?
negative, I just made it
@@StephenGPope I saw the example at the end, I posted too soon. Excellent video sir.
25:15 "run script" Airtable automation is now part of the Paid Plan requiring a subscription... FYI
Yea a lot of the tools here are paid.
So once you create a system for it. All you have to do is input a story? Is that right?
YUP! and you could auto generate that from another source as well, like RSS or Perplexity.
so let me get this straight. once i copy how you created this system. all i have to do is ask chat gpt to create me a certain topic story, then i input the story and it just generate for me automatically. so for Kontent Engine db Pro, i can only generate 7 videos though per week right? obviously the extreme is more? but how much is that price?. thanks in advance.
@@AlexM-up2hw well KEDB Pro and Extreme aren't connected to this Faceless too, could they be? sure, but they are not the same. Here is a link to info on KEDB â www.skool.com/content-academy/classroom/887aa4d1?md=24d41d6f6b52464292f8f947b51a5ab3
still sounds too complicated but willing to give it a try though. however my goal is to create 15-30 mins story based for an automated channel on a certain niche that I want to create. so my point is if I use your system and create it, once that is created. Then all I have to do is ask chat gpt to generate a story and THEN input that into this system and it will create a video based on motion images by linking it with Leonardo ai to do so right? I don't know man.....
@@AlexM-up2hw which systems? this videos hows you how to put together the system to create faceless videos from ChatGPT. Not sure I understand fully get your question.
man is a genius!
đ
wow, actually really fucking useful thank you
đ
would this work for 10min+ videos too?
sure I don't see why not!
Can I do this totally for free depending only on free plans so i can create faceless ai videos for free
nice!
What does this cost to run? It would be nice if you addressed b4 people go down the rabbit hole that this cost $100 to $150 a month to do. That's fine if ur in that business, but there are lots of us experimenting and may never use any of this, until the cost comes down in the future as things get faster and cheaper . .
Thanks for your feedback. I dont know the exact costs to run because it depends a lot of what you create
I am half way down the rabbit hole, and out of money ...
â@@AweInspired-vp3iz how many videos did you make and how much did it cost?
