Deepseek is a generative AI tool with an open-source approach that allows developers to modify their models. However, there is a common misconception that Deepseek has a video generator or can be used for video generation.
Let’s set the record straight—Deepseek is not a video generator.
Unlike AI-powered platforms designed to create visuals and animations, Deepseek specializes in text and idea generation. In other words, while this AI tool doesn’t include a built-in video generator, it can help you brainstorm and plan your video content from production to editing.
Whether you're a beginner looking for an easy way to plan your videos or a skilled creator aiming to streamline your workflow, this article will provide practical and actionable tips on how to use Deepseek to create videos.

Part 1: Difference between Deepseek and ChatGPT?
![chatgpt vs deepseek](https://images.wondershare.com/filmora/article-images/deepseek-02.jpg)
When talking about AI tools, it’s easy for most people to classify Deepseek and ChatGPT as basic text generators. In reality, both tools are conversational AI tools with different strengths and designs and are great for brainstorming, answering questions, and generating prompt-based responses.
Both Deepseek and ChatGPT use large language model (LLM) technology. This means they are trained in huge amounts of data that allow them to learn language patterns and rules. This enables these tools to process, understand, and generate text in various human languages.
However, Deepseek is an open-source model that allows developers to contribute to its released models—Deepseek-V3 and Deepseek-R1. ChatGPT is owned by OpenAI, built on Open AI’s GPT architecture—GPT-3..5 and GPT 4—and operates on Open AI’s data policies.
Deepseek offers faster more technical responses and is great at extracting precise data from complex documents. However, ChatGPT provides a broad and engaging AI experience. Its new update allows it to interact with other websites, rolling out instructions to help users achieve a defined goal. Furthermore, Deepseek is cost effective_ free to use and excellent resource if you’re low on budget. While ChatGPT’s subscription models are more expensive and free version has message limits.
In summary, ChatGPT’s strengths lie in its versatility, and ability to carry out a wide range of instructions. But when it comes to efficiency, Deepseek takes the bat.
Part 2: Plan and Create Your Video with Deepseek
![plan your video with deepseek](https://images.wondershare.com/filmora/article-images/deepseek-03.jpg)
Instead of directly generating video content, Deepseek helps you plan, script, and organize your video content ideas.
Concept development
Sometimes, coming up with fresh video ideas can be stressful. Deepseek’s AI can help you plan, structure, and produce video content that passes a specific message, engages your audience, and meets specific goals. It can guide you through the several key stages of brainstorming including;
- Generating video ideas and topics based on current trends and specific target audiences.
- Refining your angle to provide unique and targeted ideas and not just generic content.
- Creating viral video titles and hooks for high-performing YouTube, Instagram, etc.
You can use Deeepsake to brainstorm the purpose of your video and figure out who your target audience is and the specific message you want to communicate.
Scriptwriting
You can use Deepseek to write scripts for any kind of video you wish to create—whether it's explainer videos, product reviews, etc. This AI tool can generate intros and CTAs, as well as detailed dialogues for a voiceover narration for scripted videos. You can format your output script to suit your desired tone, and the video lengths are ideal for the different platforms you’ll be sharing your video.

Storyboarding
If you want to plan the visual elements of your video, you can use Deepseek to create a structured storyboard outline that maps out key shots and sequences. Use Deepseek to;
- Describe the visuals of each scene and suggest what each scene should look like. This helps you visualize the final video.
- Get recommendations for camera angles and shots so you understand how to capture the right shots, even if you’re a beginner.
Shooting tips (where applicable)
As a creator with little to no experience producing video content, having a filming guide can change the game for you. AI tools like Deepseek can help you by suggesting the right lighting setups to use for good results, the right tools and equipment to go for, and recording tips for clear audio. If you’re on a budget or with limited equipment, you can also get practical tips for filming with your smartphone.
Editing tips
While you cannot use the Deepseek video generator to create videos, it can help make post-production seamless. Have Deepseek suggest editing techniques that will improve your video quality and give you the best outcome. You can also generate subtitle and caption texts to add to your videos while editing.
Finally, use Deepseek to generate a detailed prompt you can use on video generation platforms to create videos. Here is a sample guide.
![ai prompts](https://images.wondershare.com/filmora/article-images/deepseek-05.jpg)
AI Video Generation Prompt
To create a prompt for video generation, follow these steps to write a good prompt for better results.
State the purpose of the video.
For example: "Promote a new product," "Explain a concept," and "Share a motivational story."
Describe your target audience, if you have one.
For example: "Young professionals aged 25-35," "Small business owners," and "Students."
Choose the video tone and style
For example: "Professional and informative," "Casual and friendly," "Inspirational and uplifting."
Paste the video script (generated with Deepseek)
Some tools may allow you to add more specifics. If they do, indicate your prepared visual style, any voiceover (or accent) preferences, your preferred background music or sound effects, and your viideo length.
