Story cards stay below the sticky dock while audio, chapters, date, and brief navigation remain accessible.
The new Mixture-of-Experts architecture in Wan 2.2 responds best to 80–120 word prompts that lead with subject and camera position before describing motion. Negative prompts "blurry motion" and "flickering" meaningfully cut artifacts. Recommended starting config: 480p (832×480) at 81 frames — balances quality, speed, and VRAM use while you dial in the workflow.
A beginner-friendly Wan 2.2 14B i2v workflow with multi-LoRA stacking has hit 4,557 downloads, 88 thumbs-up, and a 5-star average from 35 reviews on Civitai. Uses Power LoRA loader nodes (rgthree-comfy) for high/low-noise pairing; arrives pre-wired and matches a local fp8 stack out of the box. Worth pulling as a reference even if you have your own workflow.
Finance channels pull $25–$50 CPM; gaming channels pull $1–$4 CPM. A finance channel at 50K views per video outearns a gaming channel at 500K views. Niche selection is the single highest-leverage decision for any faceless AI channel — it compounds across every video you ever publish.
OpenAI has confirmed it's discontinuing the Sora web app and API later in 2026. Current frontier rankings: Veo 3.1 leads on prompt adherence and 4K output, followed by Seedance 2.5, Kling 3.0 Turbo, Runway Gen-4.5, and Gemini Omni Flash. Native synchronized audio is now table stakes across all top models — no longer a differentiator.
Disclosed AI content earns the same RPM as non-AI content in the same niche — disclosure does not penalize. Mass-produced or recycled AI videos with no original angle trigger a 3-strike system: warning, then 90-day YPP suspension, then permanent removal. A visible human POV, original research, or unique editorial voice bypasses the tripwire entirely.
The r/aivideo community has moved past single-tool loyalty to purpose-built stacks: Kling 3.0 for photorealistic motion, Runway for controlled creative, Luma for image-to-video, Pika for quick social experiments. The metric shift that defines the conversation now: cost per usable clip, not cost per generation — a distinction that changes how you evaluate every tool in the pipeline.
Social Media Today's 2026 report puts AI-generated content at 40% or more of viral TikTok. Tutorial-format videos hit 70–80% completion rates, a primary For You Page algorithmic signal. Food nano-influencers lead all TikTok niches in engagement at 18.36% — the highest category on the platform.
At 10–50M monthly Shorts views, ad revenue lands at $200–$2,000/month. A single brand deal on the same channel pays $500–$5,000 per video. Long-form in finance or tech pays $1–$9 RPM per thousand views — roughly 60x the Shorts rate. Shorts is a growth engine and audience funnel; treat it as a primary income source and the math will disappoint you.
