The workflow

    Research the topic, outline the structure, then write a script that holds retention.

  2. 2
    ElevenLabs— Narration
    ~$22/mo

    Produce the voice-over. Consistency across uploads matters more than a 'perfect' voice.

  3. 3
    Kling AI— B-roll generation
    ~$10/mo

    Generate footage for segments where stock libraries have nothing usable.

  4. 4
    CapCut— Editing
    Free tier works

    Assemble, pace, and add captions.

  5. 5
    Canva— Thumbnail
    Free tier works

    Build thumbnails from a repeatable template so the channel reads as one brand.

Cheaper or different swaps

Where this stack falls short

  • Fully AI-generated narration + footage is harder to monetise under YouTube's reused-content rules; add original commentary or editing value.
  • Generated B-roll still struggles with text, hands and brand accuracy.
