TubeChef Tutorial: Complete Beginner's Guide to AI YouTube Automation

Welcome to the official TubeChef beginner's guide! If you're new to TubeChef or AI video automation in general, this tutorial will walk you through everything you need to know to create your first YouTube video using TubeChef's powerful AI tools.

By the end of this TubeChef tutorial, you'll understand how to:

  • Set up your TubeChef account and create channels
  • Generate AI scripts with TubeChef's script generator
  • Create voiceovers in 30+ languages
  • Generate images and B-roll
  • Use the TubeChef CLI for bulk rendering

Let's get started with TubeChef!

What is TubeChef?

TubeChef is an AI-powered video automation platform built specifically for YouTube creators. Unlike generic AI video tools, TubeChef is designed from the ground up to handle long-form content—documentaries, educational videos, storytelling channels, and more.

With TubeChef, you can:

  • Generate scripts up to 4 hours long
  • Translate content into 30+ languages
  • Create natural AI voiceovers
  • Generate matching images and thumbnails
  • Render videos locally with the TubeChef CLI
Step 1: Creating Your TubeChef Account

Getting started with TubeChef is simple:

  1. Visit tubechef.ai and click "Get Started"
  2. Create your account using email or Google
  3. Verify your email address
  4. You're ready to start creating with TubeChef!

TubeChef offers a free tier so you can test the platform before committing. No credit card required.

Step 2: Setting Up Your First Channel in TubeChef

In TubeChef, channels help you organize your content. Each channel can have its own:

  • Default language and voice settings
  • Custom templates
  • Brand settings

To create a channel in TubeChef:

  1. Go to your TubeChef Dashboard
  2. Click "Channels" in the sidebar
  3. Click "Create New Channel"
  4. Name your channel and select default settings
  5. Save your TubeChef channel

Pro Tip: If you run multiple YouTube channels, create a separate TubeChef channel for each one. This keeps your content organized and allows different settings per channel.

Step 3: Generating Scripts with TubeChef

The TubeChef script generator is where the magic happens. Here's how to create your first AI script:

Using TubeChef's Script Generator
  1. In your TubeChef dashboard, click "Script Generator"
  2. Enter your video topic or paste a reference script
  3. Select your target video length (TubeChef supports up to 4 hours!)
  4. Choose your AI model (V1-V4 available in TubeChef)
  5. Click "Generate Script"

TubeChef will create a structured script with:

  • Engaging introduction
  • Logical sections with transitions
  • Compelling conclusion with call-to-action
TubeChef Script Tips
  • Be specific with your topic. "History of Ancient Rome" is better than "Rome"
  • Use TubeChef's style options to match your channel's tone
  • Review and edit the script—TubeChef gives you a great foundation, but your personal touch makes it unique
Step 4: Creating Voiceovers in TubeChef

Once you have your script, TubeChef can generate natural-sounding voiceovers in 30+ languages.

TubeChef Voiceover Process
  1. Go to the "Translation & TTS" section in TubeChef
  2. Select your script or video
  3. Choose your target language(s)
  4. Select a voice from TubeChef's voice library
  5. Click "Generate Voiceover"

TubeChef's AI voices sound remarkably natural, with proper pacing, emphasis, and emotion. You can preview samples before generating the full voiceover.

Multi-Language with TubeChef

One of TubeChef's most powerful features is multi-language support. Create one video, then use TubeChef to:

  • Translate the script to 30+ languages
  • Generate native voiceovers for each language
  • Reach global audiences instantly
Step 5: Generating Images with TubeChef

TubeChef can generate images that match your script content:

  1. Navigate to "Image Assets" in TubeChef
  2. Select your video/script
  3. TubeChef will analyze your script and suggest image prompts
  4. Customize prompts or let TubeChef auto-generate
  5. Generate images in bulk

TubeChef integrates with leading AI image generators to create:

  • Scene illustrations
  • B-roll images
  • Thumbnails
  • Custom graphics
Step 6: Using the TubeChef CLI for Bulk Rendering

This is where TubeChef really shines. The TubeChef CLI (Command Line Interface) lets you render videos locally on your own hardware.
