Content creation has been revolutionized by advances in technology over the past decade. Adopting the right tech tools is crucial for creating and distributing high-quality content for an audience always eager for the next new video or photo shoot. Here’s an overview of how adult content creators across different mediums leverage technology today.
The rise of AI
AI has enormous potential, and not surprisingly, many adult content creators have jumped on the AI bandwagon. One AI generated model with a high-profile Instagram account amassed 123k followers in just four months, and was regularly offered dates by guys who thought she was real.
Porn generation using artificial intelligence isn’t new, but the images produced have gotten a lot more sophisticated in recent years. Content creators can use AI to produce adult content, ranging from realistic nudes to hentai movies.
AI can also be used to supplement existing content. For example, if creators are shooting porn, they can use AI to generate additional images that fit the design concept and augment props. At the most basic level, AI tools are useful for touching up images and improving the content.
AI is useful for creating copy for profiles so it is highly targeted and contains all the right keywords to encourage fan interaction. AI chatbots will also take over fan interaction if needed, so simple queries and interactions can be handled by a chatbot rather than a human. They won’t let you use them to produce sex-related content, but responses to basic questions are fine.
Video production & editing
Video content remains highly engaging and popular with audiences. For professional-grade filming, an adult content creator will likely want to invest in high-tech cameras like DSLRs as well as microphones, lighting kits, gimbals, and lenses. However, smartphone cameras have advanced to a point where creators can shoot compelling footage using mobile devices alone.
The most ubiquitous video editing tools are nonlinear editing software (NLEs) like Adobe Premiere Pro and Final Cut Pro. These tools allow creators to edit footage, audio, titles, transitions, visual effects, and more. Many creators use both studio-grade NLEs as well as mobile apps like InShot or Splice on their smartphones for quicker edits.
Podcasting & audio
Podcasting is often more mainstream, but some adult creators have made inroads into the niche by creating sex and erotica podcasts for discerning fans. These days, anyone can record, edit, host and publish professional podcast content quickly. More advanced creators use digital audio workstation (DAW) software like Audacity and GarageBand for finer editing control, or tools like Descript that simplify editing audio conversations.
High-quality USB microphones from Blue, Rode and HyperX have also made at-home podcasting achievable at lower budgets versus studio setups. Many creators also use Zencastr or Squadcast to enable remote podcasting sessions.
NFTs
NFTs have been adopted by the adult industry; Azealia Banks sold the rights to her sex tape for $17k. Transactions like this allow the buyer to enjoy the content and support the artist at the same time.
For creators who leverage them wisely, the tech tools of today provide immense potential to scale audiences and transform passions into full-time careers.
