Chapter 2: Creating My First Video – From Confusion to Completion

2.1 The Birth of My First Video

"Zindagi Ki Jung" was just an MP3 file. One day, I found Storyblocks, which allowed me to create story-style videos with stock clips. It generated a 3.5-minute video—beautiful, but watermarked. I edited the video using Animotica, added my song, and realized: I can do more.

2.2 Tools, Trials & Triumphs

I used Canva to create a thumbnail and even added a 4-second intro and 8-second outro. Animotica was my editing lab, and after hours of struggle, overlays, text motion, and voice adjustments—the video was ready.

2.3 First Lessons in YouTube

Uploading revealed more gaps: what’s a thumbnail? Hashtags? Video SEO? Thanks to ChatGPT and Google, I quickly learned how to design YouTube-friendly uploads.

Finally, my first upload hit the YouTube well!

2.4 AISTUDIO Was Born

Initially, I named the channel AI Studio 100, with the handle @AIStudio100-WSI. The handle was inspired by my unlaunched startup: Work Squirrel India.
