COPY any YouTube channel using claude + Seedance 2.5 — Transcript

Full transcript

1. 0:00With the release of Seedance 2.5 and
2. 0:02Claude Code, I found a way that you can
3. 0:04literally clone almost any YouTube
4. 0:06channel, whether it's documentary,
5. 0:08history, true crime, 2D animation, Pixar
6. 0:11style, pretty much any channel like this
7. 0:13that's getting millions of views and
8. 0:14making money. And after hours of
9. 0:16research, I found the perfect blueprint
10. 0:18that you can use to start your own
11. 0:20faceless YouTube automation channel in
12. 0:22any niche. So, in this video, I'm going
13. 0:24to walk you through the entire process
14. 0:26step by step. I'll show you how to find
15. 0:28YouTube channels that are actually
16. 0:29making money. I'll show you which tools
17. 0:31you need, where to get them, how many
18. 0:33credits [music] we actually use on them,
19. 0:35and how to automate as much of this
20. 0:37process as possible so you can start
21. 0:39cashing in on faceless YouTube
22. 0:40automation today. Okay, so the first
23. 0:43thing that you need to do is find a
24. 0:45channel that you want to model. Now, I
25. 0:47know a lot of you might be thinking that
26. 0:48the best thing to do is replicate the
27. 0:50biggest channel you know that you've
28. 0:52been following for years. But actually,
29. 0:54if your goal is to make money, we need
30. 0:55to go deeper than that. Instead of
31. 0:57looking at channels that blew up years
32. 0:59ago, the best thing to do is to find a
33. 1:01channel that's performing well now. You
34. 1:03basically want to go and find channels
35. 1:04like these that have blown up in the
36. 1:06last 6 to 12 months. The reason for this
37. 1:08is because these channels are what we
38. 1:10call outlier channels, which means
39. 1:12they're getting far more views than they
40. 1:14have subscribers, showing that they're
41. 1:16performing well now. And I went and did
42. 1:18some of this research for you. I put a
43. 1:20list of outlier channels in the
44. 1:22description below that you can go
45. 1:23through to find something that makes
46. 1:25sense for you. The next thing you want
47. 1:26to do is use a tool like Social Blade
48. 1:28that is free or VidIQ that is paid, and
49. 1:31you can actually see how much these
50. 1:33channels are making. Like, for example,
51. 1:34this channel that has 1.2 million
52. 1:37followers from just 68 videos is a great
53. 1:40outlier piece of inspo. I've noticed a
54. 1:43lot of small channels like this are
55. 1:45blowing up right now, so I'm making a
56. 1:47full walk-through on this soon. Make
57. 1:49sure you're subscribed. But for today's
58. 1:50video, the style that I'm going to be
59. 1:52replicating is this channel because I
60. 1:54know a lot of you have asked for it, and
61. 1:56it's very hard to figure out how they do
62. 1:58this. Step one, setting up the system.
63. 2:00First, we need to install Claude desktop
64. 2:03from their website and log in. Once
65. 2:04you're logged in, I want you to open the
66. 2:06sidebar on the top left. We're going to
67. 2:08see a few different modes in here.
68. 2:09Claude code is the one that we want.
69. 2:11This is the version that's actually
70. 2:13going to work with the files on your
71. 2:14computer, and it's basically going to be
72. 2:16able to run things in the background
73. 2:17fully automated like a YouTube
74. 2:20automation channel. Now, we're going to
75. 2:21plug in the engine that's actually going
76. 2:23to generate the visuals for us. You're
77. 2:25going to come over to Higgsfield, create
78. 2:26an account, and then find the MCP and
79. 2:29CLI section. Here, I want you to click
80. 2:31CLI. Here, you will see this prompt
81. 2:33given. All you got to do is copy and
82. 2:35send this to Claude. Claude will run a
83. 2:37few commands and ask for few
84. 2:38permissions. Allow them all. That's it.
85. 2:40Now, Claude code and Higgsfield are
86. 2:42connected, and they're going to be able
87. 2:43to work together for you. And this is
88. 2:45what's going to turn the rest of this
89. 2:46video into a copy and paste automation.
90. 2:49Step two, adding brain and laying the
91. 2:51foundation. Now, here's the brain that's
92. 2:53going to make this entire system work.
93. 2:54[music] This is the master prompt. I
94. 2:56built this out for you so that Claude
95. 2:58runs as an actual production pipeline.
96. 3:01It's 11 stages in order from branding to
97. 3:03thumbnails. Again, guys, all this is
98. 3:05going to be in the description, so you
99. 3:07can just follow along. You're going to
100. 3:08copy it, and then paste it all over into
101. 3:10Claude code and just send it. What this
102. 3:12prompt does is basically turn Claude
103. 3:14into a content engine for you. It knows
104. 3:17how to take any channel, break down why
105. 3:19it works, and then rebuild that style
106. 3:21for you. As soon as you send the prompt,
107. 3:23Claude is going to ask you one question.
108. 3:25What channel do you want to replicate?
109. 3:27So, now, we can just type in the channel
110. 3:28name that we're replicating, and if you
111. 3:30have the URL, that works, too. But,
112. 3:32aside from just giving Claude the name,
113. 3:33I've noticed that it works best if you
114. 3:35actually describe the channel. So, I'm
115. 3:37going to do that here. So, since we're
116. 3:38replicating this channel that has
117. 3:40millions of subscribers, we're going to
118. 3:42describe it as documentary style channel
119. 3:44that covers real events and historical
120. 3:46stories using 3D visuals. And then, if
121. 3:48you really want to take this to the next
122. 3:50level, you're going to actually include
123. 3:52screenshots from those channels. In
124. 3:54fact, it's even better if you choose a
125. 3:56few channels that are all in the same
126. 3:57niche. So, I found a few more channels
127. 3:59that are very similar, and then we're
128. 4:00just going to drop these screenshots in,
129. 4:02add our short description, and send it
130. 4:04all into Claude code. So, when it comes
131. 4:06to names, descriptions, and logos,
132. 4:08Claude code can actually take care of
133. 4:10all of that for you as well. For me, it
134. 4:12came back with names like these, which
135. 4:13honestly fit perfectly for what we're
136. 4:15trying to do here. I'm going to go ahead
137. 4:16and choose this one because I think it's
138. 4:18the best fit for this channel. So, then
139. 4:20you're just going to type next, and
140. 4:21Claude is going to move you onto the
141. 4:23next stage, which is scripting. This is
142. 4:25a step that a lot of people skip, and
143. 4:26it's exactly why their scripts end up
144. 4:29sounding like AI, and sometimes get
145. 4:31demonetized later on. If you want Claude
146. 4:33to actually write scripts like the
147. 4:34channel you're referencing, then you
148. 4:36need to follow this process. So, here's
149. 4:38what you're going to do. You're going to
150. 4:39go over to the channels that you're
151. 4:40modeling and open some of their most
152. 4:41viral videos. Watch a bit of it so you
153. 4:43understand the structure, and then
154. 4:45scroll down to the description and click
155. 4:47show transcript. I want you to select
156. 4:49the entire thing, copy it, and paste it
157. 4:51over to a Google Doc. [music] Then I
158. 4:53want you to go do this for five more
159. 4:55videos in the niche that have done well.
160. 4:57And just a quick disclaimer before
161. 4:58anyone gets weird in the comments, this
162. 5:00video is educational. I'm not showing
163. 5:02you how to copy anyone's scripts
164. 5:04directly. Obviously, you don't want to
165. 5:06do that because it won't work. That is
166. 5:08copyright, and your channel will get
167. 5:09deleted or demonetized immediately.
168. 5:11Instead, what we want to do is study a
169. 5:13winning format, the pacing, the
170. 5:15structure, the visual language of a
171. 5:17proven niche. It's the same thing that
172. 5:19every screenwriter does for movies,
173. 5:21every musician does for songs, and of
174. 5:23course, every big YouTuber does this as
175. 5:25well. That's why you see so many of your
176. 5:27favorite YouTubers basically copying the
177. 5:29same format that other YouTube videos
178. 5:31have run that have been successful.
179. 5:33We're going to take that and use it to
180. 5:34build something that's completely
181. 5:36original, our own story, our own script,
182. 5:38our own visuals. So, once you have your
183. 5:40transcripts, you're going to save them
184. 5:42all into one PDF and upload that PDF
185. 5:44into Claude code. I'm just going to type
186. 5:46transcripts attach and click send. Now,
187. 5:49Claude is reading through these scripts
188. 5:51and pulling out the DNA, the hook
189. 5:53structure, the tone, the cadence, the
190. 5:55pacing, all the things that keep a
191. 5:57viewer watching. And from this point on,
192. 5:59all of the videos that it generates are
193. 6:00going to follow that same exact pattern.
194. 6:03Once Claude finishes analyzing these
195. 6:05videos, it's going to ask you if you
196. 6:07already have a video idea, as we don't
197. 6:09have one, so we're going to say no. And
198. 6:11if we read through the titles, I mean,
199. 6:12these are directly on point. Now, we're
200. 6:14going to pick the one we want to make,
201. 6:15so I'm going to go with this one, just
202. 6:17type the number and send it. Before
203. 6:19scripting anything, Claude asks you how
204. 6:22long do you want your video to be, so
205. 6:24I'm going to say 10 minutes. [music] And
206. 6:25then watch what happens when it starts
207. 6:26writing. This is not some generic AI
208. 6:29voice. It's following the exact cadence
209. 6:31of the transcripts that we fed it, the
210. 6:33structure's right, and the hooks land
211. 6:34where they're supposed to. Now, think of
212. 6:36yourself as a director here. I want you
213. 6:38to read through this and see if
214. 6:39something feels off. If it does, tell it
215. 6:42now, because this works like a
216. 6:43conversation. You can basically tweak
217. 6:45this by just going back and forth a few
218. 6:47times. And this is a big reason that I'm
219. 6:49using Claude code for this instead of
220. 6:51some Chat GPT chatbot. Basically, it
221. 6:53doesn't choke on long outputs. You can
222. 6:55actually push this to 4,000 words, and
223. 6:57it's just going to keep writing for you.
224. 6:59Anytime I use Chat GPT, it basically
225. 7:01gives me way less words than I asked
226. 7:03for, and it's really frustrating, and
227. 7:05yeah, I kind of have a long history with
228. 7:07Sam Altman, so that's a story for
229. 7:09another time. But once you're happy with
230. 7:11the script, you're just going to copy
231. 7:12the finished script over into a Google
232. 7:14Doc so you don't lose it, and then type
233. 7:16next here. Step four, generating
234. 7:18visuals. Now, we're at the visual image
235. 7:20stage, [music] and this is going to work
236. 7:21just like the transcripts did. Claude is
237. 7:23going to need some references. So again,
238. 7:25go back to the channels you're modeling
239. 7:27and screenshot the kind of shots that
240. 7:29you want, the characters, the lighting,
241. 7:31the overall look. You're going to need
242. 7:32at least five images for this to work
243. 7:34well, so try to pick some of the best
244. 7:36ones you can find. going to go ahead and
245. 7:38describe the reference style, so I'm
246. 7:40going to say these 3D stylized figure
247. 7:42shots with dramatic lighting. I'm going
248. 7:44to feed that to Claude so it does its
249. 7:45best work. Now, Claude is going to study
250. 7:48these frames and work out the visual DNA
251. 7:50that we need. The lighting, the color
252. 7:52grade, the camera angles, the whole
253. 7:54aesthetic to make images like this for
254. 7:56us. So, from now on, every image prompt
255. 7:59that it writes is basically going to
256. 8:00carry that baked in, which is going to
257. 8:02keep our video looking consistent
258. 8:04instead of a bunch of random shots that
259. 8:05have no consistency. Now, I want you to
260. 8:07type, I need prompts for my script. is
261. 8:10one of my favorite parts of the entire
262. 8:11blueprint. Claude's going to go back
263. 8:13through your entire script and map out
264. 8:15every single visual beat. That's going
265. 8:17to be a visual for every moment of your
266. 8:1910-minute-long video. No guessing, no
267. 8:21trying to figure it out on the fly.
268. 8:22Claude is doing all of that for you. We
269. 8:24have a detailed image prompt for every
270. 8:26scene, each one carrying out the full
271. 8:28visual style, so every image looks the
272. 8:30same. And again, this [music] is where
273. 8:32Claude code absolutely crushes,
274. 8:34especially when it comes to seed dance,
275. 8:35because you can generate seven or 800 of
276. 8:38these if you need to. Okay, so now we're
277. 8:39moving into image generation, and this
278. 8:41is where that Higgs Field connection
279. 8:43that we set up at the start really pays
280. 8:44off. Literally a few months ago, you
281. 8:46would have had to gone into Higgs Field
282. 8:48and prompt every single one of these
283. 8:49yourself, but now Claude is going to do
284. 8:52all of that for us at a very high level.
285. 8:54The reason Higgs Field's the right
286. 8:55engine for this is because everything is
287. 8:57in one place. We have Nano Banana Pro
288. 8:59for images, Seed Dance 2.5, which is
289. 9:01insane for video, plus they have Seed
290. 9:04Dream, Flux, Cling, they have everything
291. 9:06you need in here. So, back in Claude
292. 9:08code, instead of copying prompts
293. 9:09anywhere, you're just going to tell it,
294. 9:11generate all the images using Higgs
295. 9:13Field skill, Nano Banana Pro, 16 by 9
296. 9:15for YouTube. And as you can see, it's
297. 9:17generating all of our scenes while I do
298. 9:19absolutely nothing. So, after about 10
299. 9:22minutes, we're going to check the
300. 9:23results. We're going to head over to our
301. 9:25Higgs Field account, click on to your
302. 9:26[music] images, and wow, here they all
303. 9:28are. So, just going through these, we
304. 9:30can see that they're all the same style,
305. 9:32the same world, and it really did a good
306. 9:34job on that consistency element. Now,
307. 9:36one thing to mention on quality control
308. 9:38here, I want you to spot check. If you
309. 9:40notice something that you don't like or
310. 9:41that it missed, just tell Claude to
311. 9:43regenerate scene 47 or whichever scene
312. 9:45is missing, and it'll go ahead and redo
313. 9:47that. Again, you're not actually doing
314. 9:49this all yourself. All of this is
315. 9:51automated if you do it right. And just
316. 9:53in case the CLI setup was too much for
317. 9:55you, the manual route still works, too.
318. 9:57You're just going to copy each scene
319. 9:59prompt from Claude, paste it over to
320. 10:01your Higgsfield image generator under
321. 10:03Nano Banana Pro 16 by 9, click generate,
322. 10:06and you're going to get the same
323. 10:06results. It's just a little bit slower,
324. 10:08and it's more work for you. But
325. 10:10honestly, the three commands from
326. 10:11earlier are totally worth it. Makes
327. 10:13everything automated, and I highly
328. 10:14recommend it. Step five, animate with
329. 10:16Seed Dance 2.5. This is the step that's
330. 10:19going to bring this entire process to
331. 10:21life. And again, Seed Dance 2.5 just
332. 10:23released, and it is crazy. First, I want
333. 10:26you to know that this step is optional.
334. 10:28Some niches work perfectly fine with
335. 10:30still images and almost no editing.
336. 10:32Claude's going to ask if you want video
337. 10:34prompts for your niche, so just say no
338. 10:36and skip ahead if you don't need them.
339. 10:37But for us, we do. And I want to show
340. 10:39you how good Seed Dance 2.5 is. So for
341. 10:42this, I'm going to say yes, and when you
342. 10:44do, Claude is going to go back through
343. 10:45the script and write animation prompts
344. 10:47for each of the scenes. This is going to
345. 10:49include camera movements, subject
346. 10:51motion, atmosphere, and because it
347. 10:53remembers the scene map, you get the
348. 10:55same amount of prompts. And they're
349. 10:56going to be numbered to match your
350. 10:58images one to one, so there's nothing
351. 11:00for you to figure out here. And again,
352. 11:02this is why staying on one platform, aka
353. 11:04Higgsfield, is going to make your life a
354. 11:06lot easier. Still inside Higgsfield,
355. 11:08we're going to switch over to the video
356. 11:09generator and pick Seed Dance 2.5. This
357. 11:12is ByteDance's newest video model, and
358. 11:14it is the best one on the market by a
359. 11:16landslide because it holds character
360. 11:18consistency across shots, it handles
361. 11:20camera motion cleanly, and you can feed
362. 11:22it multiple references for a single
363. 11:24generation. But I want to try to save
364. 11:25you guys some credits here. You don't
365. 11:27need to animate everything. Video
366. 11:29generation burns credits faster than
367. 11:31anything else does, and you definitely
368. 11:33don't need video generation for every
369. 11:35single one of your scenes. So, here I
370. 11:37want you to go through your scene list
371. 11:38and pick the ones that look the best and
372. 11:40that need that motion in them. I'm going
373. 11:42to choose between 15 and 30 of them to
374. 11:44start. Then, it's the same play as the
375. 11:46images. We're going to tell Claude to
376. 11:47generate videos for all the scenes using
377. 11:49the Higgs Field scale seed dance 2.5,
378. 11:52and we're going to use each scene's
379. 11:53image as the start frame for that video.
380. 11:55Then, it's going to run the whole batch
381. 11:57for you. But again, if you want to do it
382. 11:58manually, all you're going to do is come
383. 12:00over to Higgs Field's video generator,
384. 12:02upload your image as the start frame,
385. 12:04and then paste the matching animation
386. 12:05prompt, and click generate. And while
387. 12:07these are generating, I'm going to show
388. 12:09you the first one, and oh my gosh, this
389. 12:11is insane. I mean, the camera work,
390. 12:14everything in this is wild. YouTube
391. 12:16might be cooked. Movies, Netflix,
392. 12:18everything might be cooked from this.
393. 12:19This is crazy. Step six, thumbnails. And
394. 12:22honestly, this might be one of the most
395. 12:24immediately useful parts of this entire
396. 12:26blueprint. We're going to use the same
397. 12:28pattern as before. Claude needs
398. 12:29references. Go to the model channels and
399. 12:31screenshot some of their best performing
400. 12:33thumbnails and upload like five of them.
401. 12:35Next, I want you to type thumbnails
402. 12:37attached and click send. Claude's going
403. 12:39to basically reverse engineer their
404. 12:41entire formula, the text treatment,
405. 12:43where the subject sits, the lighting,
406. 12:45and then it's going to give you a set of
407. 12:47thumbnail concepts designed for your
408. 12:49specific video. Look at that. The text
409. 12:51is right, the contrast is right, and
410. 12:53it's all perfect in size. This is an
411. 12:55uploadable thumbnail with zero
412. 12:57Photoshop. And I used to have to pay a
413. 12:59lot for thumbnails, and it's just crazy
414. 13:01that AI can do this now. If there's
415. 13:03anything that you don't like, obviously,
416. 13:04you're just going to tell Claude and
417. 13:06Higgs Field what to change, ask for
418. 13:08another concept, and iterate until it's
419. 13:10right. Step seven, generate the
420. 13:11voiceover for this video. We can stay
421. 13:13inside of Higgs Field and use one of
422. 13:15their voiceovers, or you can come over
423. 13:17to 11 Labs. If you're inside of 11 Labs,
424. 13:19I like using voice design because it
425. 13:21actually creates a voice that sounds
426. 13:23like what you want for this video. So,
427. 13:25I'm just going to describe the voice
428. 13:26that I want in this video, and then I'm
429. 13:28going to click generate. And once I have
430. 13:30one that I like, I'm just going to paste
431. 13:31over the script that Claude gave us, and
432. 13:33I'm going to have this entire voiceover
433. 13:35generated for our video. And I've
434. 13:37noticed that it really helps inside of
435. 13:38Eleven Labs if you cut out the dead
436. 13:40spaces in between the sentences. That
437. 13:42way your video is punchy as possible.
438. 13:45Step eight, editing. So, there's two
439. 13:47things that we need to mention here.
440. 13:48First are your assets. Right now, all
441. 13:50the images and clips are live in
442. 13:52Higgsfield servers, not your machine.
443. 13:54So, inside of Claude Code, we're going
444. 13:56to ask it to download everything
445. 13:58locally, and we're going to name it each
446. 14:00file by its actual scene number. And
447. 14:02this is the move that's going to make
448. 14:03your editing process extremely simple.
449. 14:06You can pull up CapCut, Adobe Premiere,
450. 14:08Final Cut, whatever you use for editing,
451. 14:10and then you're just going to drag the
452. 14:11file names in order from what Claude
453. 14:14gave you. Now, when you're editing, you
454. 14:15might want to add some captions or some
455. 14:17transitions to just make things as
456. 14:19smooth as possible. I've noticed that
457. 14:21really works here. The last thing that
458. 14:23we need to do is just paste over the
459. 14:24voiceover. You probably also want to add
460. 14:26some background music as these videos
461. 14:28perform well with a song that matches
462. 14:30the vibe of what's going on in the
463. 14:32video. I've put some of my favorites in
464. 14:34the description below for you, and let's
465. 14:36check out what we actually made here.
466. 14:38>> It's a Wednesday afternoon, July 15th,
467. 14:412020. Somewhere in California, a Twitter
468. 14:44employee is working from home. The
469. 14:46pandemic has emptied the offices.
470. 14:48Everyone is a face on a screen now.
471. 14:51His phone rings. It's the IT help desk.
472. 14:54There's a problem with the company's
473. 14:56VPN, a known [music] issue. They've been
474. 14:58fixing it all week.
475. 14:59The voice on the line is calm and a
476. 15:01little bored. Caller knows his name
477. 15:03[music] and which team he's on.
478. 15:06To fix the issue, caller walks him to a
479. 15:08login page that [music] looks exactly
480. 15:09like the one he uses every day. So, he
481. 15:12types in his username, his password, and
482. 15:15[music] his two-factor code.
483. 15:17And just like that, he hands the keys to
484. 15:19the loudest platform [music] on Earth to
485. 15:21a stranger.
486. 15:21>> That is so crazy. I just can't believe
487. 15:24that AI is able to do this. I'm actually
488. 15:26mind-blown. And if it says anything, I'm
489. 15:29up at 5:11 in the morning because this
490. 15:31is just blowing my mind and I can't
491. 15:33sleep when this is happening. You now
492. 15:35have a video that holds its own against
493. 15:37some of these giant channels with
494. 15:38massive production teams. And actually,
495. 15:40let's zoom out for a sec and realize
496. 15:42what just happened. Claude Code and Seed
497. 15:44Dance 2.5 just put together an entire
498. 15:47video for us. It handled the branding.
499. 15:49It learned a proven style on YouTube
500. 15:51that actually gets views. It wrote the
501. 15:53script. It mapped out every scene. And
502. 15:55then Higgs Field generated all the
503. 15:57images and Seed Dance 2.5 put together
504. 15:59every single video clip that we need to
505. 16:01make an entire video. I'm going to drop
506. 16:03the amount of credits that it took to
507. 16:04make that 30-second sample so you can
508. 16:06have an idea for how much this would
509. 16:08cost. And I know not everyone has the
510. 16:10money to create these videos with AI.
511. 16:12But if you think about it, creating
512. 16:13something like this used to take weeks,
513. 16:15if not months, and be impossible for
514. 16:17normal people like you and me. The fact
515. 16:19that you can do all this in less than an
516. 16:21hour using AI is crazy. Not to mention
517. 16:24that starting almost any business does
518. 16:26take money. Now, our last step in this
519. 16:28video is actually uploading this onto
520. 16:30YouTube. And here's what I'm going to do
521. 16:31for you in this video. I'm not just
522. 16:33going to tell you that this might work.
523. 16:34I'm going to be uploading this and
524. 16:36several other videos in other niches and
525. 16:38showing you that this actually works.
526. 16:40And sharing with you the amount of
527. 16:41views, the retention, if it actually
528. 16:43makes money, if it gets demonetized, all
529. 16:46the things that show that this is an
530. 16:47actual business. And if you haven't
531. 16:49followed my channel for a long time,
532. 16:51this channel actually started as an AI
533. 16:53influencer. It's always been my voice,
534. 16:55but at the beginning of this channel, I
535. 16:57never showed my face. It was all an AI
536. 16:59influencer. My point is, if I can do it,
537. 17:01so can you. YouTube has changed my life
538. 17:04in so many ways, and I know so many of
539. 17:06you can do the same. All the master
540. 17:07prompts are in the description below. I
541. 17:09can't wait to see what you guys create.
542. 17:11And with that, I will see you on the
543. 17:13other side.
