How to Never Run Out of Video Ideas

Content Ideas

Six places in aicut to find your next video idea: rising trends, one trend with two twists, series idea cards, your own universe, the next episode and your channel's own numbers.

In this guide

Trends · Step 1

Start from what is rising

Open Trends, filter by your language and look for the Rising badge. A rising video is an idea with proof: people are watching it right now.

Twist · Step 2

Recreate one trend twice

Paste a trending link into Recreate and make your version. Then recreate the same link again with a different idea. One trend becomes two videos that do not look alike.

Idea cards · Step 3

Let the series suggest the idea

Open AI Video Story and pick a series. It comes with idea cards: tap Regenerate until one makes you laugh, then edit it.

Your idea · Step 4

Start from a universe

Switch to Write your own idea, choose a universe and click Generate idea, or type the one line you already have. aicut writes the story from it.

Next part · Step 5

Make part two

When a video works, your next idea is its next episode. Continue story keeps the cast, settings and language of your last episode, so you only have to decide what happens next.

Your numbers · Step 6

Ask your channel

Connect your accounts on Channels and click Analyse next to one. aicut reads the last 30 days of that channel and writes content ideas, each with a hook and why it should work.

  • Channel reports are part of a paid plan. Connecting a channel is free.

Tip: Keep a list. When an idea card or a report idea is good but not for today, write it down: next week starts from a list instead of a blank page.

Frequently asked questions

How do I come up with ideas for TikTok videos?

Start from what already works: rising videos on the Trends page, the idea cards of a series, the next part of a video that did well, and the ideas a channel report writes from your own posts.

Can AI give me video ideas?

Yes. Every AI Video Story series has idea cards you can regenerate, Write your own idea can generate an idea from a universe, and a channel report writes content ideas from your last 30 days of posts.

Is it okay to copy a trend?

Copy the format, not the video. Keep the hook and the pacing, and change the story and the characters. Recreate drafts a new story from the original, so the result is your own content.

How many ideas do I need a week?

Seven for one post a day. Three rising trends recreated twice each plus one series episode gets you there in about an hour.

What if an idea flops?

Compare it with your other posts on the Channels page. Keep the formats that get views, drop the ones that don't, and recreate your best video with a new idea.
