Probably, you’ve found yourself in a situation where you needed to change a small thing in WordPress to make it work for you. I’ve faced this countless times over the past 14 years of building WordPress websites. The main problem is that I don’t know PHP, and I don’t want to learn it either.

This time, I ran into an issue with WooCommerce. I sell products from Printify or Printful on my website, and some of them only ship to the US. Most of the products do ship everywhere, but some don’t, and I still want to keep them in my store.

I want my website to help people from all over the world. I needed to make a small change: if someone enters a shipping address outside the US, I want the website to notify them and stop them from purchasing the product unless they change the address to the US or remove the problematic product from their cart.

I also want a warning to show up on the product page so they know not to add the product to their cart in the first place. On top of that, I want it to be a very simple setting—just checking a box on the product edit page—so I can let automation handle marking all the products for me instead of doing it manually for each one.

Everything I Added to the Plugin – WooCommerce US Shipping Restriction

Let’s go over everything I added to the plugin, and then I’ll explain exactly how I created it. I have to admit it took me some time because of all the changes I wanted to make. While I was creating the plugin, I kept getting new ideas to make it better, and all the revisions I made added time to the process.

It all starts with the product page. In the general product settings, there’s now a new option to mark if this product ships only to US addresses. That’s all the setup needed on the backend. When I want to update a product, I just check this option, save the changes, and everything else will show up on the front end.

Now, let’s move to the front-end product page. On the product page, there’s a warning that this product ships only to US addresses, along with a US flag icon. I also added the same warning in the catalog view, just below the “Add to Cart” button.

If someone adds the product to their cart and their saved address isn’t in the US, they’ll see a yellow warning message with the text and the US flag. If they continue to the checkout page, the product will still be highlighted in yellow, but now there’s a big delete option, so they can easily remove the product without going back to the cart page. They can also change their address at this stage and proceed with the product.

Additionally, if they try to complete the order with a non-US address, the “Checkout with PayPal” button disappears. This prevents them from completing the order with that product in the cart. If they click to proceed, they’ll get a notification explaining that the product is only available for US addresses, and they can either remove it or update their address.

I didn’t want to prevent the product from being added to the cart if the address wasn’t in the US because sometimes people use services to forward items to their address through a US address, or they might want to send it as a gift to someone in the US. So, I allowed the product to be added to the cart.

That’s everything the plugin does. Now let’s see how I created it—all without knowing any code.

Making the Plugin

I started with a simple instruction to ChatGPT, explaining what I wanted to achieve.

After some back and forth, it finally worked the way I wanted. But then, I decided I also wanted the plugin to allow removing the product directly from the checkout page. Usually, you can only remove products from the cart page, but I didn’t want people to leave the checkout page just to go back and make changes to the cart.

I really hope people outside the US will see the warning before they add the product to their cart. But if they don’t, at least I can make it easier for them to handle it directly on the checkout page.

WordPress Code Types

Since I wanted to add a delete button on the checkout page, I asked ChatGPT to provide the code for that. This required adding a new file for JavaScript code. If you’re not familiar with code like me, you just need to know that WordPress uses a few different types of code like PHP, JavaScript, HTML, etc. When creating a plugin, you’ll often need separate files for each type of code.

When you give ChatGPT instructions for creating a plugin, start by describing the main idea and focus on getting it to work. Once the basic functionality is in place, you can make changes and improvements step by step.

Making Changes to the plugin with ChatGPT

If the code starts getting too long and ChatGPT can’t generate it all at once, ask it to continue from where it stopped. You can copy the output in two or more parts.

When making changes, do each change separately. This way, if something doesn’t work, it’s easier to identify and fix the specific issue.

If ChatGPT provides only part of the code for a change, ask where it should be added so you can place it in the correct location.

Each section of the code usually comes with a title or explanation from ChatGPT. Use these to understand what each part of the code does. If you need to modify something later, you’ll know exactly where to find it in the longer code.

Organizing Code Files for a Functional WordPress Plugin

Now, let’s see how to use the code to build the plugin.

To use the code you got from ChatGPT, open Notepad on your computer. Copy the code from ChatGPT and paste it into Notepad. You can ask ChatGPT to give you a name for the plugin you’re creating and use that as the file name. Save the file in a new folder with the same name as the plugin.

If the file is PHP, you need to save it with a .php extension. To ensure it saves correctly, choose the file type All Files when saving. If you don’t select this option, it won’t save correctly.

If the code also includes JavaScript, save it in a separate file within the same folder. Use a .js extension for the JavaScript file and, again, choose All Files when saving. You can ask ChatGPT for the exact names for all the files.

Once you’ve saved all the files, exit the folder and right-click on it. You should see an option to compress the folder. Click on it to create a ZIP file. This ZIP file is your plugin.

Testing and Refining the Plugin for Perfect Results

Now, go to your WordPress website. In the backend, click on Plugins, then Add New, and upload the ZIP file from your computer. If the plugin is good, it will install without issues.

If you encounter an error and your website goes down because of it, you’ll need to access your FTP panel. Find the wp-content folder, then the plugins folder, and locate the plugin folder you created. Delete it from there.

After that, return to ChatGPT, explain the issue, and ask for help finding and fixing the problem.

If you make any changes, update the PHP file or the JavaScript file as needed and save it again. Make sure to delete the previous compressed file to avoid mistakes when uploading. Then compress the folder again into a ZIP file. Keep testing until everything works exactly as you want it to.

Automating Product Updates with TaskMagic for WooCommerce

 I’ve found for the uploading process: when you upload products from Printify, Printful, or any other service connected to your WooCommerce store, you’re limited by what the service allows during the upload process. Sometimes, you can choose categories, and sometimes you can’t. Either way, you usually still need to go into the products you’ve uploaded and make changes.

I have another tutorial on how to automate this process using TaskMagic automation. If you have TaskMagic and want to go through all your products to update them, you can add a step to your existing automation for editing WooCommerce products.

In the automation, you can add a step to click on the checkbox that marks the product as not shipping outside the US. It doesn’t matter where you place this step in the workflow—just add it between the existing steps for updating products.

Get Your Free WooCommerce Plugin

 I like to have control over anything I create, so this box was a mystery for me. 

I didn’t know what I should do with it if I couldn’t choose for myself what to change.

 In InVideo AI, you get a full video created by the AI. If it’s a good video, it’s a discussion for another time.

 But in this video, I want to understand what prompt I can write in the box and how it will fix the video. first, you need to create the video itself.

 You can use the Prompt Editor to create the prompt.

 I made another video dedicated to this, so watch that. 

 After creating the video, you need to think about whether you want to change something in the video. 

The idea of making a video without knowing how to edit does not always give you the best results. However, for some people, that can work, and making a lot of videos can be very expensive. Think of the Magic Box as your editor and you need to give it instructions.

The magic box works like ChatGPT, but the actions are not in another text; it’s changing the video.

 Every aspect of the video can be changed, starting with changing the whole video. Just ask it to create another version of the video. 

You can ask it to change things inside the video. For example, you can ask it to change the music. It will choose the music for you. Be clear about the genre of the music or which mood you’d like the music to convey. You can go to a music library to see what moods and genres they have there, specifically from Storyblocks, where the premium music is sourced. Then you can add that prompt to the Magic Box. You can also ask it to mix the music with the AI voiceover. Just give it instructions to make it louder or softer.

 If you don’t like the AI voice, you can change it here. The only thing is that you really need to know what you should ask for. So, if you’re not sure, you can open a new video creation page on another webpage and open one of the Prompt Editors. Look for the options of the language accent in the list, copy it, and add that to the Magic Box on the video you want to change the AI voice. 

Next, you also have text on the screen. You can ask it to change the design of the text. Because you can’t change the design yourself, you have to use the Magic Box. If you don’t know what to ask the AI to do for you, you can go to the first page where you create a new video, open the Prompt Helpers, and find the Subtitles. There, you have a list of things you can change about the title’s design, and you can get ideas for what you can ask the Magic Box. You can also add or remove titles in the video, or change the size and position of the titles only using the magic box.

Another example is the script. You can ask the Magic Box to change the script in a specific place in the video if you don’t like it. 

Just ask in the specific scene what you want to change and let the AI know what you want to change. If you are not sure how to know what the scene is, then click on Edit and then the Edit Media tab. You can see that when you click on a clip, it writes there what chapter and what media this clip is. 

You can also see the text highlighted for that specific video. So, find the text you would like to change and get the exact place in the video.

Alternatively, place the cursor in the video preview window on the point in the video you want to change and then ask the Magic Box to change that specific part of the video to something else. 

In the Magic Box, you can also give it a URL. Just write what you would like it to take, and you can add the information from the URL to the video.

Think of ways to make your script better. What is missing? Do you want it to be funnier or very serious?

Because you have limitations for iStock videos, you can ask the Magic Box to reduce or not use any iStock videos.

There are some things you can’t change in the edit window, and you need to ask the Magic Box to do it for you. One of these is changing the aspect ratio. 

Another example is to ask it to change the pace of the video to be faster or slower. Although you can change the language of the video, the Magic Box understands only English as far as I know. 

Overall, the Magic Box is a very cute idea. But now you might ask yourself, “What if I want to edit things myself?” You can choose from different options that you can’t ask the Magic Box. Watch this video to learn how to edit the video yourself. Subscribe and like, and I will see you next time!

If you want to know how much money that is, for the first month at the lowest tier, they pay $25 and you get $12.50 from it. If someone chooses the maximum plan for a whole year at $480, you get $120. I prefer affiliate programs that pay monthly. 

To join the affiliate program, you need an Impact account. I have a course on this channel on how to use Impact, so you can watch that to see how to use it. To sign up for the affiliate program, you can find the link in the description or at the bottom of the website on any page. Click on it to see the terms. Then click the button to go to the signup page. If you don’t have an Impact account, create one. If you do, click on “I have an Impact account” and you will see the terms of the program. Agree to the terms, and you might be asked how you are going to promote InVideo.

The first time I tried to join the InVideo program, I had an Impact account but was not approved. However, because I explored the tool and made some tutorials for my Israeli audience, I emailed support to add me to the program and explained how I was going to promote them. It worked.

In your InVideo AI account, you have an influencer button. If you click on it, you get some links and a dashboard to see how many signed up through your link. I asked support what this is, and they told me it’s an experiment and you need to use the affiliate links from Impact. So, just use those links. 

Because the affiliate platform might change soon, I highly suggest using a tool to organize your affiliate links so you only need to change the link in one place if they

decide to switch the platform. I use Switchy for this. You have the link in the description. What I do is create the link in Impact, then create a new link in Switchy, and paste the Impact link in the top box. Then, I add a custom URL. I use my domain to make it look more professional. When I promote the URL, I use the one from Switchy. If they change the link to a different platform, I will only need to update it in Switchy, rather than everywhere I’ve shared it.

If you already have your links in YouTube descriptions and want to change them, you can use TubeBuddy’s find and replace tool. You can see how to use it in the video in the description.

If you are using InVideo AI and like it, join their program and talk about it. But if you are looking for a good affiliate program, this one is a pass for me because they don’t pay well. I’m pretty sure all the gurus promoting it are getting more than the basic affiliate program offers, so they might have a better deal. But for the average affiliate, this is not the best program. I prefer the Pictory affiliate program and also like their tool better. You have much more freedom to create videos while getting help from the AI.

 Because if you look at the gurus that tell you to use it, you would think it is completely free. So, let’s see what you get with free vs. paid.

First, for those who don’t understand what InVideo AI is, it is a tool that creates videos from a prompt. You can give it a very short prompt and you will get a very generic video, or you can give it a more detailed prompt and you will get a better video. Please remember that if you let AI do all the work for you, it will be very generic and sometimes contain false facts.

The AI generates a video by first creating the script. 

Then it generates an AI voice to narrate the video. With version 2.0, you can have up to 6 AI voices in one video that switch. 

Then it chooses video clips that match the text in the script. It does not create videos with AI, so you are safe from weird six-fingered or monster eyes like other AI-generated content. 

It just chooses the most accurate video clips from good video libraries based on keywords in the script. 

It also generates subtitles on the screen and adds background music from audio libraries. 

It does not create the music with AI, so you are safe from copyright issues. More on that in the video about music in InVideo.

You can manipulate all these elements while you write the prompt for the AI. 

To help you achieve this, you can use the prompt generator they have on the first page. 

After that, you get a video that you can make simple changes to with the AI or by yourself.

I explained every detail on my channel, so find it in the playlist of InVideo AI. You can find the link in the description.

Now, for the question of what you get for free and what you need to pay for. 

You can sign up for free without adding a credit card, and you can use it for free forever if you wish. 

But, as with everything free, there are limits. The big one is that when you export the video from InVideo, you get the InVideo AI logo on all of the videos. Some of the video clips will also have the logos of the libraries they come from. You also have only 10 minutes per week to create videos. For exporting, you get 4 exports per week, so if you need to change something in the video after you export it, you are limited to 4 exports per week. After that, you can’t export any video until the next week.

The good news is that you can create 16 videos a month with 10 minutes each week and 4 exports, which is 4 videos a week. Of course, I wouldn’t count on this if I wanted to create a YouTube channel as a business, because I don’t like to have the InVideo logo on all of my videos. It is not professional. 

You can export the video in HD, but you can’t get it in 4K. 

There is also a limitation with stock videos. You can’t use iStock videos at all; this is just for paying members. fortunately, you don’t really need iStock because there are plenty of other video stocks you can use.

For the music, you can use premium music, just make sure to whitelist your YouTube channel so you won’t get copyright claims. I explained that in the video about the music. 

You have 10 GB for storage. This storage is for uploading videos and images if you want to use your own. 

Two more limits are that if you want to use your own cloned voice, you can’t. There are only the voices of the AI that come with InVideo.

And you can’t add more users to your account. In the paid option, you can have other people use the account as well, allowing them to create videos for you. They can get their own password and username, which is useful if you want your team to create videos for you without sharing the InVideo account credentials if you’re unsure about trusting your team with that.

For the paid option, you can see that you get a discount if you pay yearly, which is nice. However, not everyone wants to pay for the whole year upfront. Then there are two plans. Basically, you pay more for more minutes generated each month. 

For the “Plus” plan, which costs $25 a month, you get one user, 50 minutes, and unlimited exports. So, the maximum number of videos you can generate is 50, because even if you generate a video that is less than a minute, it counts as one minute. Of course, you can generate longer videos if you wish and get fewer videos per month.

Some other things you get with the Plus plan: you can use 80 pieces of video clips from iStock videos, you get 100 gigabytes of storage for your uploads, and you can use the cloned voice for 2 voices. 

If you want more minutes, you can adjust the number of users, which will give you more minutes per month. The difference between the “Max” and the “Plus” plans is how many minutes you get every month, and there are some additional features for each of the other things.

If you want to know how much you’ve spent from your limitations, click on your profile image and go to the usage page. Here, you can see how much you’ve generated and when it will start again. By the way, if you didn’t use the minutes of your plan, it will reset in the next month, so if you are on the paid plan, use all of your monthly minutes to make the best out of your plan.

Next, you can see the iStock usage, the exports if you are on the free plan, and the storage, so you know how much you still have all the time. If you have a Plus or Max plan and you pay for more users, then click on “members” and then on the Plus button to invite other users to use the platform. 

In the workspace settings, you can set who should see the same videos and share the videos you create with others. You can also change the visibility of your exported videos here. 

If you want to upgrade, click on the upgrade button, or you can click here in the subscription tab on the button to add your credit card. 

If you want to cancel the subscription, you need to go to the right menu and click on the FAQ section. There, look for the chat option. Open a conversation and let them know that you want to cancel. They don’t have a refund policy, so if you pay them, you can’t get your money back. However, they won’t charge you for the next payment, and you can use InVideo until your current subscription period ends. This way, you get your money’s worth.

In my opinion, you should experiment with the prompts and see if the videos generated can work for your purposes. If the answer is yes, then pay for the subscription. If not, then don’t, because you can try the tool with almost all of its features before committing.

If you want to undo more steps, you can ask the Magic Box to undo those changes for you. You can also undo changes in the video clip editing window and the music editing window.

To edit video clips, go to the Edit tab. You’ll see that a changed video clip has two layers. The top layer is the video currently playing, and underneath is the original video the AI chose for you. This original video layer will always stay there. To revert to the original video clip, click the small “x” to delete the new clip.

The same process applies to the music. You will see two layers: the top layer is your new music, and the layer underneath is the original music generated by the AI. To go back to the original music, click the small “x” on that track.

You can also ask the AI to generate an entirely different version of the video. To do this, use the Magic Box to create another option for the video. You will get the original prompt you used to create the video, allowing you to make changes before generating a new version.

Alternatively, you can click the “Versions” button on the bottom left side, then click “Generate.” If you want to edit the prompt before generating it, click “Edit Prompt. 

After you click on the “New Version” button, you can choose some settings. 

When you have two versions, you can open the Versions sidebar to see all the versions. 

You can also rename the versions to help you remember which one you liked better.

You can also start creating a new version by clicking the plus button on the top bar. This will open the video settings. If you change the settings and click “Generate,” you will get a new version of the video based on this prompt.

After you create a video, it will be added to your history. On the creation page, you can find it at the bottom left. Click on it to see all the videos you recently made. You can also click the menu button at the top left to see your latest videos or go to the home page for more options. There, you can see your video history and the last exported videos, which you can download directly.

Every time you export a video, it creates a new version. If you just want to download the video, you don’t need to export it again—just click on the video and download it. You can also see all your recent videos and click “Show More” on the right side to see everything you’ve made.

To delete a video, click on the three dots at the end of the video’s line and select “Delete.” Since you can’t really organize the videos, it might be hard to find specific ones if you have many. So, give each video a memorable name. 

In Video AI version 2.0, you can change the name of a project. First, open the project you want to rename. Then click on the title at the top of the page, change it, and save it. You can also rename different versions of the same video. This helps you keep track of the versions you prefer.

To rename a version, click on “Versions” at the bottom left to open the left panel. Find the version you want to rename, click on the three dots, and choose the rename option.

 Now, when you are on the “Start Create Video” page, you can choose which model you want to use. I chose 2.0 because it is much better than the previous version. 

Next, you have the Magic Box, as they call it. Here, you can write the prompt for the video.

If you need help and you are not sure how to set the prompt right, then you have some options at the bottom of the page.

The videos always start with the text. So, the question is, where is the text coming from? The first option is to create the text by the InVideo AI. The second option is to start from your text. Lastly, you have the option to start from another URL. 

Some of them are just another way to create a video that starts with AI writing the text. So, let’s see what happens when you click on each one of them.

The first option is “YouTube Explainer.” Choose the length of the video.

When you choose the length, it deducts from your minutes.

 If you choose 15 seconds or a minute, it counts as a minute. I think it is a good idea to ask for a longer video and then make it shorter by deleting parts from the text afterward. That way, you get better text. 

They give you very good instructions. 

In the next box, you should write what the topic is what the video should talk about, and what you don’t want the video to talk about. You have 25,000 characters, so you have plenty of room to write in detail. The more details you give, the more accurate the script will be.

The next box is for your opinion or facts that you want to include in the video. This will give the video your brand tone. The next option is for the music. You can ask for a specific mood or genre to make the music match your video and how you want the video to feel. 

From the 2.0 version, you have 50 languages you can choose to create the video. So here, you can choose from the list. You can also add next to it what mood you want the languages to be, serious or with more humor. 

Then, you can choose to have a male or female voice for the AI voice-over. 

If you are in a language that has some options, you can choose the accent. This is more relevant to English, which has a lot of voices to choose from.

In 2.0, you have up to 6 voices that can participate in the conversation. You can add here the role for each one by clicking on the plus button to add more voices and choose what the voice role is from the list. Afterward, when you edit, you can change it. The next option is for subtitles. You can choose how to style them. If you created your project and you want to change the style, you can go to this list and pick the prompt that suits you, and change it in the video you already created.

When you are on the free plan, you will export the video with a watermark. You can choose what name will show on the watermark next to the InVideo AI logo. 

Number 4 is for choosing the iStock situation. InVideo AI takes the video clips for the video from different libraries, like Storyblocks and iStock. If you use the other libraries, you don’t have a problem, even for the free accounts. But with iStock, it is different because iStock has limitations for each subscription. If you are in the free account, you don’t have any, but don’t worry, there are other video clips you can choose from that you don’t have a problem using. Here, you can choose to limit the AI to choose videos from iStock or avoid it completely.

In number 5, you have the option to choose where the music will come from. They have 2 libraries for the music. The first one is the free library from YouTube, and if you use it, you don’t have any trouble. The other one is from Storyblocks. This can create copyright claims that you can solve with support. You can also avoid this problem by whitelisting your YouTube channel, and I showed you how to do it in a different video. Here, you can choose what kind of music you want the AI to choose for you, but you can change it later if you wish.

After you fill this, you will get the prompt in the upper box, and you can add more text or edit it before it creates the video for you. The next option to create a video is from the script. This has slightly different settings. The first option is what kind of video. Honestly, I don’t know what the difference is between YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram videos. They are all vertical videos. Then, add the script you wrote here in the big box. It is a good idea to write the text in a different DOCX file and copy it here as a whole because it is not the best editor. So, copy and paste it here. Then, you have the same settings that we see in the YouTube video.

The next option is YouTube Short. The only difference is to choose if it is fast-paced or very fast-paced. When you click on “Explore More,” you have Instagram and TikTok, which have the same settings as the other videos. Then, you have the News video. This one is for if you wish to use information from a URL. All of the settings are like the other videos, except for one box where you can add a URL to the source you want the video to be based on.

This is how you create the video. You can add all of these prompts by writing them in the box in the same way. But it is easier when you have some guides. When it generates the video, you have the text, and based on the text, the AI chooses videos from the video clip libraries and music from the libraries. It does not create videos and music from scratch, so you won’t see errors like 6 fingers on a hand or problems with copyrighted music.

Start by asking the AI to create the video for you. Now watch the video. If you don’t like or think that a video clip is not matching, then you have a few options. The first one is just asking the AI again to change a video clip. To do it, go to the box under the video in the main editor and ask the AI to change the video. Be precise about where in the video the clip you want to change is and give the AI specific instructions on what you are looking for to change.

Watch it again and see if it changes the video clip. I asked it to change it to a human with attention. Maybe this is not what I would pick myself, but I think it is an interesting choice. 

Now let’s see how you can change it yourself without AI. Click on the edit button under the video, and you are in the first tab for editing and changing the videos. 

You can see that the video we changed has two layers; this is if you want to go back to what it was before at any point of the editing.

Just click on the clip you want to change, and then under the video, you have a box for putting the keywords. Find from the stock videos the video you want to change, and you have it. 

If you are on the free plan or are limited to the premium stock videos, you can click on the premium videos, and it will show you the videos that are not premium. They have two types of clips you can choose to use: Storyblocks, Shutterstock, Pixabay, Pexels, and iStock. The iStock clips are limited every month, and when you reach the point that you can’t use them anymore, they will tell you that. When you create the video, you can ask the AI not to use the iStock clips. 

You will see that there is a watermark on the videos; after you download them, you should not have the video clips’ watermark. However, if you are on the free plan, you will have the InVideo logo watermark on your video and the video library logo. 

Let’s see how to ask the AI to replace the iStock videos from this video. 

Go to the AI box under the video and ask it to replace all of the iStock video clips with a different library. But the best thing to do is to ask the AI to not use the iStock video clips at all at the beginning of creating the video from the video-generating panel. 

When you open the options to create a video, you have the option to tell the AI if you want to use the iStock clips or avoid them. 

If you want to know how many iStock video clips and images you can use, then click on the right-side menu and find the usage option. There you can see exactly how many iStock videos you used this month. Also, when you export the video, you will have this information.

Let’s get back to the video clip editor. When you click on the video clip, you have a box with some options. Here, you can customize the length of the video. You can also change the center of the video; if this video is vertical and you don’t see the main idea of the video, you can change the center point, and it will show a different part of the image from the video. The customization is between zero to one.

Under the video clips, you have the text from the script, and the sentence that is on this clip is marked in bold. You also have the information about which chapter this part of the video is from, so if you want to make any changes to the text, you know exactly where to find it.

If you want to make a media clip longer, do this. Go to the script editor. Now find the scene where you want the video to continue from the last scene. Click on the media, and then you have a trash icon. Click on it and apply changes. When you go back to edit the clip, you can see that now the previous video clip is longer and extends into the next scene. 

If you want to make it shorter, then change the duration. After you apply the changes, the next video clip will be longer to fill the gap.

If you want a scene to be black and show only the words, you need to separate that clip into a new chapter by duplicating the chapter and deleting the sentences from both chapters to make it separate text. Now delete all of the clips. After you apply changes, you will see a black screen with only the words on it.

If you want to add a clip, click on the plus button, and you can add media. Now add keywords so InVideo AI will know what kind of video clip to put in this media part.

If you want to have a shorter video clip, you need to split the text. In the last video, where I showed how to split the chapter, I showed a different way to split the text. But I found another way to do it in the help section.

Click on the sentence you want to split, then click Shift and Enter, and it will split the scene. Similarly, if you want to merge the scenes, click Shift and Backspace.

You can also upload a video clip. If you want to upload a video clip, you need to make sure it is not more than 2 GB. But from my experience, it should be even less because the upload is not fast enough and can get stuck if you upload a big video.

After you upload media to your video, you can see it in the upload section. But you can also find it in the media library. Click on the menu icon on the left side, then click on media library. Theoretically, you can do a few things here, but for me, it didn’t work when I tried.

You can create new folders, but you can’t change the folders after you create them, at least I couldn’t do that. To create a new folder, you can click on the button and give it a name. If you have media, you can add it to the folder. Click on the media you want to move to a folder, then click on the plus button on the top and choose which folder this media should go in. Here, you can also create a folder.

I wish they would add the option to delete folders too, and if they could add an option to watch the video from the library, it would be helpful because you don’t always know what the video is about.

If you want to change the video from vertical to horizontal or the opposite, you need to ask the AI to do it for you. In this demo video, it was really fast, but I don’t know if that’s because this video is only 30 seconds long.

First, create a video with the AI. The video will include music. As before, you can ask the AI to change the music for you. Just type in the AI box under the video. It is very important to give it clear instructions, like “change the music to something more energetic” or “sad” or whatever you like. If you have a few chapters in the video, you should specify to the AI which parts you want to change the music for. Otherwise, it might not change the right music.

Before we get into music editing, it is important to point out that the video has chapters. Each chapter gets one music track. So, if you want to add more tracks to the video, you need to divide that part into a few chapters so you can change the music between them.

Let’s see how to create different chapters. Click on the edit button under the video to open the edit options. There you have three tabs; choose the ‘Edit script’ tab. 

If you have more than one chapter and you want to add a chapter, you should do the following: find the chapter you want to split, click on the three dots on the right side in the same line as the name of the chapter, then click on ‘Duplicate.’ Next, delete the duplicate sentences from each part, so you have two chapters with different parts of the original chapter. Now you can add different music to each chapter. Go to the ‘Edit Music’ tab. After you create a new chapter, this chapter will not have its own music; instead, it will continue the music from the original chapter it was cut from. Click on the chapter you want to change the music for. Then, under this section, you have a list of music tracks. There are two types of music tracks. The first one is free from the YouTube library, so you are safe to use it as you wish. The other type is from Storyblocks or other libraries; you can see the name of the library in the name of the song.

After a conversation with support, you can use the premium music in your video even as a free user. If you use the music, you should contact support and give them your channel ID. You can find the ID number on your channel. If you have the TubeBuddy free extension, you can go to your homepage, and you will find it in the extension tab right before the videos. If you don’t have the extension, you can get it from the description; it is free to use. 

Anyway, you can also find it on your YouTube Studio. Get into your studio by clicking on the right side of the YouTube menu, then go to the ‘Customization’ tab, and then click on ‘Basic Info.’ Now scroll down, and you will find the channel ID. Copy it. Now go back to InVideo main website, open a new chat, and ask to get connected to a human. Then ask them in the chat to whitelist your channel so you won’t get copyright claims.

If you don’t want to see any premium library music, you can click on the option to remove them. To search for music, put the keywords in the box. You can search by genre, mood, instrument, or other criteria. If you use only the free music from YouTube, you might not get the results you like because the YouTube library is limited compared to the premium libraries. To hear the music, there is a play button next to the song, and you also have the timeline of the music at the bottom of the edit screen. You can skip to the parts you like. If you want to start the music from a different point other than the beginning, you can change it, and I will show you how in a few seconds. If you like a piece of music, just make sure you are on the right chapter, then click ‘Replace’ and this music will be added to that chapter.

Now let’s see how to edit the music in the chapter. On each chapter music track, you have three dots and a play button. When you click on play, you can hear that specific music so you can decide if you want to change it. When you open the three dots, you have more options. First, if you want to loop the music, by default, it is marked as yes. This means that the music will loop throughout the chapter if it is longer than the music track. Next, you have the volume mixer, where you can decide how loud or soft you want the music. If you think it is too loud or quiet, you can change it here. 

Under that, you have the option to fade in and out, which is good for blending two music tracks together. Use 1-2 seconds if you want to fade in and out; this is enough. If you put more, you will have silent time in the video, unless you want to put a longer silent period. The next option is if you want to start the music at a specific time, like starting from the chorus, for example. After that, you have the option to decide how long you want the music to play. If you choose a time shorter than the chapter, it will cut off before the end.

When you finish, click on ‘Apply Changes.’ Now go to the video to see if all the changes match your taste and if you like them. I think this is a better way to change the music than it was before. If you want to know more about how to edit the script, click on this video next. Subscribe and like and I will see you in the next video.

You give it a prompt, and it gives you a video with a script, music, and an AI voice for narration. But what if you want to change the text of the script? 

In this video, we will see together how to edit it. 

First, get into InVideo and create the video. 

If you want to change the video script, you can ask the AI to do it for you. 

In the box under the video, you can ask the AI to change the text. 

You should give an explanation for what you want to change.

 From my experience, it is important to ask for one task every time. 

If you don’t like the changes, you can go to the edit button and do more editing by yourself. 

You have three tabs; go to the edit script tab. Now you have all of the text. Just change the text to whatever you like in the box. 

If you want to delete a scene, then just delete the text, and it will delete the whole scene. 

After you make changes, you need to click on the “apply changes” button, and it will change what you asked for. 

After it is changed, it is a good idea to go back to the edit script and see if the changes were made. 

If you don’t like what it did for you, you can always click on the button to go back to the previous edits, and you are okay to continue.

 Now let’s see how you can add or split the text because it is not that intuitive, and from the testing I made, the AI is not understanding the splitting things. 

If you want to add video to the scene because it is too long or if you want to change the music, you need to use the chapters. Go to edit. You have an option there to add a chapter. 

If your video is short, probably you have only one chapter, but if your video is long, then maybe you will have a few chapters. Go to the chapter you want to split and click on the three dots on the right side, in the same line as the name of the chapter. 

You have options there to duplicate the chapter, add another chapter before this chapter or after, and delete the chapter. 

If you want to split the first sentence or the last sentence, then just add a chapter before or after this chapter depending on the sentence you want to change. 

Then copy the text you want to split to the first box. 

Then delete the part of the sentence you want to change, and now you have split the video.

 If you want to make any changes, then you will get a black screen, and the narrator will be the same as the previous one.

If you want to add media, then click on the plus button and find “add media.” Click on it. You can only click on it if you don’t have any media. Now add some keywords so it will find a matching video for you. Next, click on “apply changes,” and it will split the text.

 If you have a sentence that you want to split but it is not in the beginning of the chapter, you need to do it differently. 

First, click on “duplicate chapter,” where the text you want to change is. Next, delete the text that is double in both chapters. Now you can add the text you want to split. The first half of the sentence will be in the top chapter as the last sentence, and the second half-sentence will be in the second chapter at the beginning.

Just make sure to change the text in the media; otherwise, you will have the wrong video in this sentence. 

If you want to change the music in the middle of the video, then you also need to split the chapters in the same way. 
I don’t know why it is so complicated to delete, split, or move things around. Maybe they will make changes in the future. This is also the 2.0 version of the InVideo AI, so stay tuned for more videos about version 2.0. If you want to know how to change narrators and how it works, then click on the video on the screen now. Like and subscribe for more, and I will see you next time.
