What Does 'AI in Video' Actually Mean? A Simple Guide for Businesses
By Coalbanks Creative on 7/23/2025
You hear the term ‘AI’ everywhere these days. It sounds complicated, maybe even a little intimidating. But when it comes to creating a great video for your business, it doesn’t have to be.
Think of AI not as a robot that takes over, but as a very smart assistant. It helps us work more efficiently so we can spend more time on what really matters: your story.
Here’s what using AI in our video work actually looks like:
1. A Faster Path to the Best Moments
Imagine we’ve just finished a two-hour interview. In the past, finding the most powerful quotes meant listening to everything, over and over. Now, we use smart tools that transcribe the entire conversation instantly. We can search for keywords and find the golden moments in seconds.
The result? We get to the heart of your story faster, which means a better video for you, sooner.
2. The Perfect Soundtrack, Instantly
Music is the heartbeat of a video. Finding the right track used to mean hours of searching through libraries. Today, we can describe the feeling we want—“hopeful but determined,” for example—and an AI tool will suggest a curated list of options. It helps us find the perfect emotional match for your message.
3. A Polished, Professional Look
Ensuring the colors in your video look consistent and professional is a detailed process. AI-powered tools help us balance shots and create a cohesive visual tone, whether we filmed on a sunny afternoon or a cloudy morning. It’s a subtle thing, but it makes a huge difference in quality.
At the end of the day, these tools don’t write the script or connect with the people on screen. We do. AI is just another tool in our kit, like a new lens or a better microphone. It helps us put our full creative energy into telling a story that connects, inspires, and gets results for your business.
