How to choose the right tools

- Pick 2–3 main tools and master them, rather than signing up for ten you never use
- Check how well they support Thai
Uncle Tee's recommended starter kit
If you're just starting, use one of ChatGPT or Gemini for text, Canva for images, and CapCut for short videos. Those three are enough to create content from start to finish. If you want a program that automates video making, see Short Clip Maker Pro.
