A friend always talks about the new series she watches. Another friend purchased an item just because she saw it on social media. It makes you wonder the power of videos and what they can bring. I remember the first colored tv coming out, which took years in the making and here we are generating videos from text in a matter of minutes.

Welcome to The AI StandUp, speaking of turning text into videos, there is systematic way of doing that and not just frantically typing and retyping hoping for the correct video to come out. This week’s edition exactly talks about that and some bonus checklists for maximum output.

Join The AI StandUp for expert insights, industry trends, and a boost to your business with AI. Buckle up and take your success to the next level!

The research shows that high-quality visuals, like photos and videos, play a key role in building consumer trust and boosting engagement. It also points out that people trust content created by other users more than content made by brands. Platforms like Instagram and YouTube, which focus heavily on visuals, are better at driving engagement and influencing purchases compared to platforms with less focus on imagery. Analysis confirmed strong links between visual content, perceived quality, trust, and buying habits. The findings stress how important it is to use high-quality, culturally relevant visuals to earn trust and encourage purchases.
