AI tools make video creation easier than ever—but some mistakes can cost you conversions, credibility, and performance.
AI has unlocked a new era of speed, flexibility, and affordability in video creation.
But here’s the catch: just because AI can make a video doesn’t mean every AI-generated video will perform.
At Clicks.Video, we’ve seen it all—from brands that convert like crazy using short-form AI content, to teams frustrated by poor performance because they’re using AI the wrong way.
If you want to make the most of AI video tools (and avoid the most common missteps), this guide will walk you through what not to do, and how to fix it.
A static image with some voiceover doesn’t cut it anymore—especially on TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. Some brands try to take old-school ad scripts and dump them into an AI video tool.
Why it fails:
✅ Instead: Use AI video to mimic native, scroll-stopping content—think: testimonial-style, “day in the life,” or problem-solution formats that feel like real people talking.
We’ve all heard them—AI voices that sound flat, emotionless, and totally fake. Unfortunately, this still happens when brands rush through the voiceover process or use low-quality tools.
Why it fails:
✅ Instead: Use tools like Clicks.Video that offer emotionally realistic, human-sounding AI voices in different tones (casual, confident, conversational) to match your audience and brand.
One of the biggest errors? Uploading landscape video to TikTok. Or skipping captions on Reels. Or using a YouTube thumbnail for a Meta ad.
Why it fails:
✅ Instead: Always format content natively—vertical videos for social, subtitles for accessibility, short and punchy for performance. Clicks.Video auto-formats your exports for the platforms you need.
Even the best AI-generated video won’t perform if the hook doesn’t land. Too many brands create a single version of their ad and launch it without testing variations.
Why it fails:
✅ Instead: Use Clicks.Video to quickly generate multiple hook variations. Test them side-by-side, see what grabs attention, and scale the winner.
Not all products need hype. Not every brand should be loud and bold. Some brands forget that AI video still needs to speak to human emotions—calm, trust, surprise, joy.
Why it fails:
✅ Instead: Choose AI voice tones and visual pacing that match the emotional intention of your video. Are you educating? Inspiring? Reassuring? Match your format to your message.
AI video isn’t here to replace big-budget, cinematic commercials—and that’s okay. Some brands try to force the wrong format into an AI tool and wonder why it looks awkward.
Why it fails:
✅ Instead: Use AI tools like Clicks.Video for what they do best—UGC-style videos, explainer content, ad variants, short-form storytelling.
One-and-done doesn’t work anymore. Especially with short-form video, where ad fatigue sets in quickly and platforms reward fresh content.
Why it fails:
✅ Instead: Use Clicks.Video to build batches of content: 5–10 videos per offer, with different angles, hooks, and CTAs. Test, learn, repeat.
