If you’re reading this, you’re probably toying with the idea of producing your own AI spokesperson video or the next viral AI explainer video for your business. I mean, how hard can it be, right? Just grab some software, pick a virtual avatar, throw in a script, and BAM! You've got yourself a top-tier marketing tool.

But, before you start designing a home studio and giving your avatar a quirky catchphrase, let’s talk about the real hurdles you might face. Because while the DIY route sounds tempting, the reality can feel more like an endless game of “Whack-a-Mole.” Here’s why.

The “Do-It-Yourself” Dream – And Why It’s a Headache

Sure, the idea of creating your own AI avatar video sounds great in theory. But, just like that treadmill you bought in January, reality might not match the dream. Let’s break it down.

1. The Cost of Staff

Creating AI videos requires more than just software—you need the right people behind it. Are you going to train your marketing team to become AI video experts overnight? Or maybe you'll add a full-time video production pro to the payroll? Either way, that’s going to cost a pretty penny. And let’s not forget the hidden expense of time—the time it takes for your team to learn the ropes while juggling everything else on their plate.

2. Subscription Fees: AKA the Money Pit

Even if you decide not to hire extra staff, you’ll need access to top-tier AI video software. And spoiler alert: the good stuff doesn’t come cheap. You’ll find yourself wading through subscription options that make Netflix look like a bargain. Whether it’s monthly charges or “pay per minute of video,” those costs add up fast. And there’s always that one feature you need that, conveniently, is locked behind an extra fee.

3. Finding the Right Software – The Quest for the Holy Grail

Just when you think you’ve found the perfect software, you’ll discover a dozen others claiming to be even better. But wait, this one has more avatars! That one has better voice options! Hours later, you’re deep in a comparison rabbit hole, paralyzed by choice and wondering why you didn’t just send a PowerPoint deck instead.

4. Outsourcing – When You Think You’ve Outsmarted the Problem

Maybe you’re thinking, “I’ll just outsource this whole thing!” And sure, you could hire an international contractor who promises to deliver the best explainer video you’ve ever seen. But then come the late-night Zoom calls, the language barriers, the time zones, the revisions (oh, the endless revisions), and the final product that looks like it was made by a robot from the 90s. Suddenly, outsourcing doesn’t feel so smart after all.

5. Finding the Right Person – The Unicorn Hunt

Even if you decide to outsource locally or in-house, finding that perfect person who can handle your AI video needs is a challenge. Video production pros who understand AI software are in high demand, and they don’t come cheap. That “quick and easy” video project has now turned into a months-long search for someone who can juggle both creativity and technical skills. Good luck!
