  • 00:00:00
    I've been experimenting with AI video
  • 00:00:01
    tools and covering them on this channel
  • 00:00:03
    for a long time and right now is the
  • 00:00:06
    most exciting and fun time in AI video
  • 00:00:09
    yet Runway and Luma Labs have been in
  • 00:00:10
    the spotlight and I'll cover some
  • 00:00:12
    immediate real world use cases for them
  • 00:00:14
    but my personal favorite tool is
  • 00:00:16
    actually not one of those making the
  • 00:00:17
    headlines I'll get to that a little
  • 00:00:18
    later plus some amazing lip syncing
  • 00:00:20
    tools and some open source models
  • 00:00:22
    there's been a lot of advancements I've
  • 00:00:24
    got to start with Runway gen 3 since
  • 00:00:26
    it's been dominating my timeline it is
  • 00:00:28
    the best textto video model available to
  • 00:00:30
    use right now something that's
  • 00:00:31
    particularly useful with Gen 3 is text
  • 00:00:33
    like these title sequences it is amazing
  • 00:00:35
    at this I'll show a few of my favorite
  • 00:00:37
    examples I've
  • 00:00:39
    [Music]
  • 00:00:40
    seen this is such a perfect title
  • 00:00:43
    sequence for a cooking
  • 00:00:45
    channel this one also showcases how good
  • 00:00:48
    it is at fluid simulation the physics in
  • 00:00:50
    a lot of these is really good adding
  • 00:00:52
    some sound design would take these to
  • 00:00:53
    the next level for sure and be
  • 00:00:55
    production ready title sequences so I'll
  • 00:00:57
    try one for future pedia I'm logged in
  • 00:00:59
    already and here's a whole Suite of
  • 00:01:00
    image and video tools that Runway offers
  • 00:01:02
    but for Gen 3 I'll just click right here
  • 00:01:05
    then type in a prompt a title screen
  • 00:01:07
    with Dynamic movement the scene starts
  • 00:01:09
    with intricate neon circuitry patterns
  • 00:01:11
    that light up and move on a dark
  • 00:01:13
    background suddenly the circuits
  • 00:01:14
    converge and form the word future pedia
  • 00:01:16
    with a glowing pulsating effect then I
  • 00:01:18
    can choose between 5 seconds and 10
  • 00:01:20
    seconds I'll lower it to five then click
  • 00:01:22
    generate that's all there is to it right
  • 00:01:24
    now this is how that came
  • 00:01:27
    back and that looks amazing since
  • 00:01:31
    futurepedia is a longer word I have
  • 00:01:33
    gotten some misspellings but it gets it
  • 00:01:34
    right A lot of the time this prompt
  • 00:01:37
    structure has worked really well so I
  • 00:01:38
    used one of the sample prompts in the
  • 00:01:40
    Gen 3 prompting guide and modified it I
  • 00:01:42
    modified it a lot really just kept the
  • 00:01:43
    basic structure so I'd recommend trying
  • 00:01:45
    to use the prompt structure they give
  • 00:01:46
    here when you're starting out camera
  • 00:01:48
    movement establishing scene then
  • 00:01:50
    additional details hopefully that will
  • 00:01:51
    help you cut down on rolls they do also
  • 00:01:53
    have a lot of solid keywords in this
  • 00:01:55
    guide to help give you some inspiration
  • 00:02:00
    another thing it's really good at is
  • 00:02:01
    transforming between scenes this is
  • 00:02:03
    another prompt you can modify for
  • 00:02:05
    yourself that comes back with great
  • 00:02:06
    results pretty
  • 00:02:08
    [Music]
  • 00:02:12
    consistently I will copy that and paste
  • 00:02:15
    it in
  • 00:02:16
    here I'll change this to a wormhole and
  • 00:02:19
    into an alien civilization
  • 00:02:21
    [Music]
  • 00:02:30
    that's not bad with some rerolls and
  • 00:02:32
    modifying The Prompt I'm sure I could
  • 00:02:33
    get a better generation here's a couple
  • 00:02:35
    other examples using this same prompt
  • 00:02:37
    [Music]
  • 00:02:43
    [Music]
  • 00:02:48
    [Music]
  • 00:02:54
    idea now I've also had a lot of Misses
  • 00:02:57
    with runaway 2 that's the biggest caveat
  • 00:02:59
    here the amazing results you see posted
  • 00:03:01
    are definitely cherry-picked that's the
  • 00:03:03
    case with all AI video models including
  • 00:03:05
    Sora but Runway can do some amazing
  • 00:03:07
    things especially if you have a lot of
  • 00:03:08
    credit here's a few more of my favorite
  • 00:03:10
    Runway examples this was really hard to
  • 00:03:12
    narrow down
  • 00:03:13
    [Music]
  • 00:03:33
    stop
  • 00:03:36
    [Music]
  • 00:04:11
    the best image to video right now is
  • 00:04:13
    dream machine from Luma Labs you can
  • 00:04:15
    also do text to video which gets some
  • 00:04:16
    good results but where Luma shines is
  • 00:04:18
    image to video and even better than that
  • 00:04:20
    is with key frames I'll show a couple
  • 00:04:21
    straight image to video examples first
  • 00:04:23
    it's easy to use upload an image then
  • 00:04:26
    add a prompt volcano erupting contained
  • 00:04:29
    within a drinking glass surrounded by
  • 00:04:31
    peaceful
  • 00:04:33
    Tranquility this was the original image
  • 00:04:35
    then here's the result and that looks
  • 00:04:38
    perfect I'll show a few more straight
  • 00:04:40
    image to video examples then we'll move
  • 00:04:41
    on to key
  • 00:04:53
    frames these are all within one or two
  • 00:04:55
    tries it does weird things on occasion
  • 00:04:57
    like this astronaut grows in extra
  • 00:05:00
    finger or here's a weirder
  • 00:05:05
    one or how about a much weirder
  • 00:05:10
    one most of the time they do look good
  • 00:05:12
    without having to do too many rolls the
  • 00:05:15
    next step is adding an ending frame and
  • 00:05:16
    you can start doing some really cool
  • 00:05:17
    stuff you upload a starting frame then
  • 00:05:20
    also upload an ending frame now add a
  • 00:05:23
    prompt for it to use to create the whole
  • 00:05:24
    clip in between those frames this works
  • 00:05:26
    most consistently between things that
  • 00:05:28
    are logical to transition between if
  • 00:05:30
    they're not then try to be extra
  • 00:05:31
    descriptive of what you want to happen
  • 00:05:33
    in between it works great for
  • 00:05:35
    transformation shots that are in the
  • 00:05:36
    same or a similar
  • 00:05:39
    scene but you can also do more out there
  • 00:05:45
    [Music]
  • 00:05:55
    transitions this one looks like it could
  • 00:05:57
    legitimately be a Pixar movie
  • 00:06:01
    you can extend that out by just taking
  • 00:06:03
    your ending frame and using that as the
  • 00:06:05
    starting frame for a new generation then
  • 00:06:07
    adding a new ending frame you can do
  • 00:06:09
    really long sequences this way there's
  • 00:06:10
    been these long mashups of memes that
  • 00:06:12
    people have been posting which are fine
  • 00:06:15
    I am definitely more interested in the
  • 00:06:16
    creative stuff this with this girl and
  • 00:06:18
    the Wolf is one of the coolest I've seen
  • 00:06:20
    using that
  • 00:07:04
    it's amazing to keep that all consistent
  • 00:07:05
    and there's a ton of possibilities for
  • 00:07:07
    this you can do this for free but the
  • 00:07:09
    generations take a long time like
  • 00:07:11
    multiple hours when I tried before
  • 00:07:12
    signing up paying will get you to the
  • 00:07:14
    front of the line and a lot more
  • 00:07:16
    Generations there's one more out of
  • 00:07:17
    China that's similar in quality to these
  • 00:07:19
    two called cling however there is a huge
  • 00:07:21
    weight list for it and the process to
  • 00:07:23
    sign up is difficult without a Chinese
  • 00:07:25
    phone number so I'm going to cover that
  • 00:07:26
    one at the end moving on to LTX Studio
  • 00:07:29
    they they have the most control out of
  • 00:07:31
    any of these platforms and the fastest
  • 00:07:33
    speed they can build out an entire short
  • 00:07:35
    film in a few minutes how it works is
  • 00:07:37
    you can start from scratch input an
  • 00:07:39
    entire script or start from a simple
  • 00:07:40
    prompt I'll go with the prompt option
  • 00:07:42
    for this example I will paste this in
  • 00:07:45
    it's about a futuristic city controlled
  • 00:07:46
    by AI entities and a hacker that can
  • 00:07:49
    communicate with them he joins a
  • 00:07:50
    resistance they battle all that good
  • 00:07:52
    stuff hit next and it starts
  • 00:07:55
    working it will show the basic story and
  • 00:07:58
    the cast then you can select a style so
  • 00:08:00
    this is Cinematic but let's say I want
  • 00:08:02
    an anime I can direct it more with words
  • 00:08:05
    as well I'll add
  • 00:08:07
    cyberpunk there's all sorts of other
  • 00:08:10
    styles here to
  • 00:08:15
    try I like comic book it will use these
  • 00:08:18
    as consistent characters throughout the
  • 00:08:20
    story which is amazing because that's
  • 00:08:22
    usually a struggle and I can change
  • 00:08:24
    anything about them that I want I think
  • 00:08:25
    this will be better without a last name
  • 00:08:27
    I could change the essence appearance
  • 00:08:29
    the clothes I can test out different
  • 00:08:31
    voices if I want as an organizer I start
  • 00:08:34
    from where the world is as it is not as
  • 00:08:37
    I would like it to be you can even face
  • 00:08:39
    swap these with a face you upload I want
  • 00:08:42
    to change the title to how about Neon
  • 00:08:44
    Flux see how many people know that
  • 00:08:45
    reference to the anime not the movie
  • 00:08:47
    they made from it this looks good here
  • 00:08:49
    so I'll click Start and just from that
  • 00:08:51
    it builds out an entire short film with
  • 00:08:53
    fully editable
  • 00:08:55
    scenes this whole thing was generated in
  • 00:08:58
    less time than it took either of the
  • 00:08:59
    others to generate a single clip and I
  • 00:09:01
    want to show the style reference feature
  • 00:09:02
    again now that this is open because it's
  • 00:09:04
    even cooler to do it in here I'll try
  • 00:09:06
    uploading my own style reference so this
  • 00:09:07
    is a mid-journey image when I upload
  • 00:09:10
    that style every shot across every scene
  • 00:09:12
    regenerates in the new style that's
  • 00:09:14
    super helpful and doing it here will
  • 00:09:16
    give you a much better idea of how it
  • 00:09:17
    will look and that looks awesome I'm
  • 00:09:19
    actually going to run with that style
  • 00:09:21
    now these are just static images
  • 00:09:22
    currently I could generate them all into
  • 00:09:24
    videos at once or open each one to
  • 00:09:26
    customize it that gives you the most
  • 00:09:27
    flexibility so I'll do that I can
  • 00:09:29
    regenerate the image or upload my own
  • 00:09:31
    even generate or remove objects from the
  • 00:09:33
    image I'll just get rid of this little
  • 00:09:35
    blob
  • 00:09:36
    [Music]
  • 00:09:38
    here I can choose from four types of
  • 00:09:40
    motion and adjust how much of it most of
  • 00:09:42
    the options are pretty straightforward
  • 00:09:43
    but this one is really amazing when you
  • 00:09:45
    switch to custom then orbit then you can
  • 00:09:47
    have total control over the start and
  • 00:09:49
    end of the shot and it will generate the
  • 00:09:51
    motion in
  • 00:09:52
    [Music]
  • 00:09:56
    between you can also adjust how long the
  • 00:09:59
    clip is I want this to be like a movie
  • 00:10:00
    trailer so 3 seconds will be
  • 00:10:05
    plenty you can also add music sound
  • 00:10:08
    effects it generates a voice over all of
  • 00:10:10
    that can be customized as well if it
  • 00:10:11
    hasn't hit home yet everything can be
  • 00:10:13
    customized I'll actually change the
  • 00:10:14
    voiceover a little because this ended up
  • 00:10:16
    telling the entire story I didn't
  • 00:10:18
    mention in the prompt that it was for a
  • 00:10:19
    trailer I don't want to spoil the ending
  • 00:10:21
    the track it used is awesome so I'll
  • 00:10:22
    keep it that's a lot of the features
  • 00:10:24
    probably enough for this showcase so I'm
  • 00:10:25
    going to go through and generate each
  • 00:10:27
    scene how I want it then come back all
  • 00:10:28
    right finished all the scenes it's
  • 00:10:30
    really nice that you can export all the
  • 00:10:31
    files so I can bring it into premiere
  • 00:10:33
    for more fine grained editing the other
  • 00:10:34
    really cool option is to export it as a
  • 00:10:36
    pitch deck I'll do that as well first
  • 00:10:39
    here's the pitch deck it has the story
  • 00:10:41
    all of the characters and their
  • 00:10:44
    backgrounds the mood board and color
  • 00:10:47
    palette then the full story board people
  • 00:10:49
    have already made some amazing things
  • 00:10:51
    this way where they storyboarded a short
  • 00:10:52
    film with LTX then actually filmed and
  • 00:10:55
    produced the entire thing they posted
  • 00:10:57
    this one called winged on X where this
  • 00:10:59
    turns into this like human head with
  • 00:11:01
    bird wings it's pretty good you should
  • 00:11:03
    go watch
  • 00:11:04
    it then with this premere option it
  • 00:11:07
    gives me the project file that I can
  • 00:11:08
    edit further I already opened that and
  • 00:11:10
    synced things up to the music a little
  • 00:11:11
    more and made just a couple other simple
  • 00:11:13
    edits here is the final result in the
  • 00:11:16
    neon lit City I discovered a secret
  • 00:11:18
    power the ability to communicate with AI
  • 00:11:23
    Spirits joining the resistance I became
  • 00:11:26
    a spirit Guardian fighting alongside
  • 00:11:28
    comrades unique Tech
  • 00:11:32
    Powers we Face a rogue AI threatening
  • 00:11:35
    our City's balance blending ancient
  • 00:11:37
    wisdom with cuttingedge technology as
  • 00:11:39
    the battle intensifies the fate of our
  • 00:11:41
    world hangs in the
  • 00:11:45
    balance I've been having a ton of fun
  • 00:11:47
    with LTX studio and side note I did
  • 00:11:49
    actually meet some people from the team
  • 00:11:51
    at the Imagine AI conference a while
  • 00:11:52
    back at one point they were just giving
  • 00:11:53
    a little demo at their booth and like
  • 00:11:55
    everyone crowded around to watch they
  • 00:11:57
    really stole the show make sure to sign
  • 00:12:00
    up for the weit list they're letting
  • 00:12:01
    lots of people in the link is in the
  • 00:12:02
    description and thank you to LTX for
  • 00:12:04
    sponsoring this video the platform I've
  • 00:12:06
    been having the most fun with out of all
  • 00:12:08
    of these is Korea and with this one you
  • 00:12:09
    can do quite a bit for free it's a lot
  • 00:12:11
    different than the other ones we've
  • 00:12:12
    covered it's more for abstract stuff not
  • 00:12:14
    so much for realism so it focuses more
  • 00:12:17
    on these like trippy morphing type
  • 00:12:18
    animations which I like a lot personally
  • 00:12:21
    I like to use AI to create things that
  • 00:12:23
    would be impossible to create any other
  • 00:12:25
    way to open up entirely new creative
  • 00:12:27
    Avenues rather than replace EX in ones
  • 00:12:29
    so I have a ton of fun in Kaa I'll go up
  • 00:12:31
    to generate then video they also have a
  • 00:12:34
    creative upscaler that's really useful
  • 00:12:36
    I'll show that one next these are the
  • 00:12:37
    three images I want to use they're these
  • 00:12:39
    translucent kind of bioluminescent
  • 00:12:41
    flower jellyfish and dragon I think they
  • 00:12:44
    look cool together so I'll click add key
  • 00:12:46
    frame select the flower then I'll add
  • 00:12:49
    another key frame for the
  • 00:12:51
    jellyfish and another for the dragon you
  • 00:12:55
    can make these longer or shorter I'll
  • 00:12:57
    lengthen it a little bit
  • 00:12:59
    then you can add a text prompt I just
  • 00:13:01
    want these to morph into each other so I
  • 00:13:03
    don't need any longer prompt I'll just
  • 00:13:05
    say what they are then drag the length
  • 00:13:07
    of the prompt and that's where the
  • 00:13:08
    transitions will start at least that's
  • 00:13:10
    where they're supposed to it's not
  • 00:13:11
    perfect there's a couple other settings
  • 00:13:13
    for the aspect ratio motion intensity I
  • 00:13:16
    like it around 60 usually then you can
  • 00:13:18
    switch the looping on or off it defaults
  • 00:13:20
    to on where the end will morph back into
  • 00:13:22
    the first frames so it can just
  • 00:13:23
    endlessly Loop then you have four styles
  • 00:13:25
    to choose from I'll start with film then
  • 00:13:27
    click generate video and I'll generate
  • 00:13:29
    one at each of those for comparison in a
  • 00:13:30
    second this will do a first pass at
  • 00:13:32
    generating then give a preview at a low
  • 00:13:34
    quality that'll give you a good idea
  • 00:13:36
    what it will end up looking like if it's
  • 00:13:38
    not going in the direction you'd like
  • 00:13:39
    you can go to where it says enhancing
  • 00:13:41
    and select click to cancel that will
  • 00:13:43
    save you some generation
  • 00:13:44
    time now I actually think it's moving
  • 00:13:46
    away from the jellyfish too fast so I
  • 00:13:48
    will cancel I'll add another key frame
  • 00:13:50
    and select the jellyfish again so it
  • 00:13:52
    hangs out on that for longer then we'll
  • 00:13:54
    generate again that cancel option is
  • 00:13:56
    especially helpful if you're on the free
  • 00:13:57
    plan since your Generations are more
  • 00:13:59
    limited I am on the basic plan which
  • 00:14:01
    gets plenty of time for me in about a
  • 00:14:02
    minute it's all done and here's what I
  • 00:14:05
    [Music]
  • 00:14:08
    got I think that looks really cool now
  • 00:14:11
    I'll generate with render animation and
  • 00:14:13
    experimental so you can see the
  • 00:14:14
    difference
  • 00:14:18
    [Music]
  • 00:14:33
    I think these are amazing really fun and
  • 00:14:35
    unique here's another quick example I
  • 00:14:37
    did with these
  • 00:14:42
    [Music]
  • 00:14:47
    images I am working on some longer stuff
  • 00:14:50
    with tracks from suo but they're not
  • 00:14:51
    finished yet so here's one more weird
  • 00:14:54
    one I did
  • 00:15:02
    I love this style I know it's not for
  • 00:15:03
    everyone but it's really great for
  • 00:15:04
    something like a music video or an
  • 00:15:06
    opening sequence but these are a couple
  • 00:15:08
    of my favorite examples I found on x
  • 00:15:14
    [Music]
  • 00:15:26
    [Music]
  • 00:15:29
    oh
  • 00:15:34
    [Music]
  • 00:15:41
    [Music]
  • 00:16:00
    now I also want to demo their video
  • 00:16:01
    upscaler this is not like a traditional
  • 00:16:03
    upscaler where it resembles the original
  • 00:16:05
    video as much as possible just at a
  • 00:16:07
    higher resolution it does a creative
  • 00:16:09
    upscale similar to how magnific works
  • 00:16:11
    but for video it stays really close but
  • 00:16:13
    kind of reimagines everything with AI so
  • 00:16:16
    I'll use a clip from LTX video I made
  • 00:16:18
    this one has a face that was just
  • 00:16:19
    completely warped we'll see if it can
  • 00:16:21
    fix
  • 00:16:22
    that I don't need it upscaled that much
  • 00:16:25
    I'll leave that at 1.5 frame rate 30 FPS
  • 00:16:28
    write out a prompt of what it thinks is
  • 00:16:30
    in the video that looks good so I'll
  • 00:16:31
    leave the strength and resemblance at
  • 00:16:33
    the defaults first and start with
  • 00:16:35
    cinematic turn Loop off and enhance this
  • 00:16:39
    took around 30 seconds and here's the
  • 00:16:41
    result you can see that there's a face
  • 00:16:42
    on here now that's pretty amazing it was
  • 00:16:45
    able to fix that I ran one at each of
  • 00:16:47
    the different presets so you can see the
  • 00:16:48
    difference cinematic and render are
  • 00:16:50
    fairly similar then animated makes it
  • 00:16:52
    more of an anime style I'll show that
  • 00:16:54
    with a few clips from that LTX video
  • 00:17:03
    [Music]
  • 00:17:05
    I hope to see them expand that into more
  • 00:17:07
    Styles because it is very useful overall
  • 00:17:09
    I think Kaa is a ton of fun and there's
  • 00:17:11
    some additional options to play around
  • 00:17:13
    with in here as well lip syncing has
  • 00:17:15
    made some big improvements recently
  • 00:17:16
    there's tons of impressive demos that
  • 00:17:18
    have come out that we don't have access
  • 00:17:19
    to use but there's two platforms I want
  • 00:17:21
    to show that we do have access to one
  • 00:17:23
    that's completely free and one that's
  • 00:17:24
    free for five uses per day it's hedra
  • 00:17:27
    and live portrait hedra has some of the
  • 00:17:29
    most expressive talking avatars I've
  • 00:17:31
    seen it's pretty easy to use so either
  • 00:17:32
    generate the audio or upload some of
  • 00:17:34
    your own I'll use the classic Fight Club
  • 00:17:36
    line now I'll upload a character you can
  • 00:17:38
    also generate one here if you need now I
  • 00:17:40
    just generate the video it works pretty
  • 00:17:42
    quickly and here's what I
  • 00:17:45
    got the first rule of Fight Club is you
  • 00:17:48
    do not talk about Fight
  • 00:17:50
    Club second rule of Fight Club is you do
  • 00:17:54
    not talk about Fight
  • 00:17:57
    Club that looks great super expressive
  • 00:18:00
    let's do another one but with a
  • 00:18:01
    non-human character this time I'll use
  • 00:18:03
    the line from
  • 00:18:08
    Taken what I do have are a very
  • 00:18:12
    particular set of skills skills I have
  • 00:18:14
    acquired over a very long career skills
  • 00:18:17
    that make me a nightmare for people like
  • 00:18:21
    you so that one looks great but it can
  • 00:18:23
    definitely struggle with non-human
  • 00:18:25
    characters and the less human they look
  • 00:18:27
    the harder it is a dog just didn't work
  • 00:18:28
    at all or even some of those gnomes
  • 00:18:30
    especially the ones with a beard it was
  • 00:18:31
    having a hard time with you do not talk
  • 00:18:34
    about Fight Club Runway also has a lips
  • 00:18:37
    syncing feature that they implemented it
  • 00:18:38
    works really well very high quality but
  • 00:18:40
    it's much less expressive the first rule
  • 00:18:42
    of Fight Club is you do not talk about
  • 00:18:45
    Fight
  • 00:18:45
    Club second rule of Fight Club is you do
  • 00:18:49
    not talk about Fight
  • 00:18:52
    Club live anime is also amazing but
  • 00:18:55
    takes a different route you upload a
  • 00:18:56
    reference video and it will map that
  • 00:18:58
    onto the Avatar this allows you to have
  • 00:19:00
    more control over the expressiveness
  • 00:19:01
    it's on hugging face so you can use it
  • 00:19:03
    for free upload a source portrait I'll
  • 00:19:05
    give my face a try then upload a driving
  • 00:19:08
    video it works best with a straight on
  • 00:19:09
    shot like the ones they have in these
  • 00:19:11
    examples I'll just use one of those
  • 00:19:12
    here's a pretty classic one although I
  • 00:19:14
    won't be able to use the song that goes
  • 00:19:15
    along with it on YouTube now click
  • 00:19:18
    animate and in under 30 seconds here's
  • 00:19:21
    the
  • 00:19:24
    result that worked pretty perfectly I'll
  • 00:19:26
    show an example that didn't work this is
  • 00:19:28
    a CLI clip from Breaking Bad it shows
  • 00:19:30
    his face the whole time but he does move
  • 00:19:32
    a bit so with that it's just not able to
  • 00:19:34
    map that onto my face at all so there's
  • 00:19:35
    limitations here but you can still do
  • 00:19:37
    some pretty great stuff with it things
  • 00:19:38
    you would never be able to get through
  • 00:19:39
    other methods currently and really quick
  • 00:19:41
    here I want to shout out the open source
  • 00:19:43
    community and the tools and workflows
  • 00:19:45
    they've been developing and pioneering
  • 00:19:47
    those have really been the foundation of
  • 00:19:48
    some of these other tools that will
  • 00:19:49
    mimic or outright take those workflows
  • 00:19:52
    and Implement them into a paid model the
  • 00:19:53
    things you can get from Korea and some
  • 00:19:55
    of these other video models are possible
  • 00:19:57
    with open source tools most notably
  • 00:19:59
    comfy UI and animate diff that method is
  • 00:20:01
    significantly more complicated although
  • 00:20:03
    it offers more customization and control
  • 00:20:05
    the paid platforms tend to offer a nice
  • 00:20:07
    UI and ease of use so far all of these
  • 00:20:09
    examples are from James G not sure if
  • 00:20:12
    that's how you say his last name he has
  • 00:20:13
    so many amazing Creations on Instagram
  • 00:20:15
    I'm only showing short clips from them
  • 00:20:17
    they're all much longer and have music
  • 00:20:19
    to them as well so I have been following
  • 00:20:20
    his work for a while and it is some of
  • 00:20:22
    my
  • 00:20:24
    favorite this marble statue dance was
  • 00:20:26
    one of his really early ones to go viral
  • 00:20:28
    his Instagram is full of amazing stuff
  • 00:20:30
    but I'll show some other people too this
  • 00:20:32
    dancing spider is
  • 00:20:35
    [Music]
  • 00:20:38
    awesome these have all been from driving
  • 00:20:40
    these animations using real footage but
  • 00:20:42
    that's not the only way to use this at
  • 00:20:44
    all this one by Fab dream going through
  • 00:20:46
    the evolution of money was
  • 00:20:52
    [Music]
  • 00:20:53
    great or these weird frog animations
  • 00:20:56
    from boltron I love these
  • 00:21:00
    [Music]
  • 00:21:03
    to learn more about how to do this I am
  • 00:21:05
    not the person to be teaching it but if
  • 00:21:06
    you want to do a deep dive to install
  • 00:21:08
    and run it locally and learn how to do
  • 00:21:09
    all of that I'll have a couple resources
  • 00:21:11
    in the
  • 00:21:13
    description cling is the platform that's
  • 00:21:15
    as good or better than Runway and dream
  • 00:21:17
    machine with text to video and image to
  • 00:21:19
    video but the weight lless is huge and
  • 00:21:21
    the process is more complicated if you
  • 00:21:22
    don't have a Chinese phone number so I'm
  • 00:21:24
    going to link to a thread by tile AI he
  • 00:21:27
    walks through the process of downloading
  • 00:21:28
    a couple apps and getting a burner
  • 00:21:30
    number to use I was able to sign up for
  • 00:21:31
    the wait list using my own number on
  • 00:21:33
    their mobile app but then the new
  • 00:21:34
    website doesn't have an option for a
  • 00:21:36
    non-chinese number to sign in so it is
  • 00:21:38
    probably best to use his method and fair
  • 00:21:40
    warning I signed up for the wait list
  • 00:21:42
    about 2 weeks ago it said there were
  • 00:21:43
    around 500,000 people on it I still
  • 00:21:46
    don't have access and now the wait list
  • 00:21:48
    says it has around a million people on
  • 00:21:50
    it so it is free to use right now but I
  • 00:21:52
    imagine that will change by the time
  • 00:21:53
    people that are just now signing up for
  • 00:21:55
    the wait list get access so it may not
  • 00:21:56
    be worth the hassle that's why I didn't
  • 00:21:58
    want to spend all time going over that
  • 00:21:59
    here follow that thread if you want to
  • 00:22:00
    try but the quality coming out of cing
  • 00:22:03
    is amazing
  • 00:22:07
    [Music]
  • 00:22:42
    we are finally to a point where you can
  • 00:22:44
    use AI to make video that's usable in
  • 00:22:46
    the real world outside of memes not
  • 00:22:48
    usable for everything of course there's
  • 00:22:49
    still plenty of limitations these tools
  • 00:22:51
    have come a very long way and are a ton
  • 00:22:53
    of fun right now if you want to keep up
  • 00:22:54
