A.I. Tools for Filmmakers

[@BeatboxAllstars]

Great Content.

[@Tim_Krause]

I've been watching your content since the DSLR revolution. Man how times have changed so fast!!!

[@TheAryaAzad]

what a fast video. I feel like I got information of 10 years in 10 minutes

[@BlenderNoob633]

Congrats on TWO MILLION! Awesome work for getting this far! I've loved every single short film you've ever made, and your tutorials are always super easy to follow and educational, as a young filmmaker basically every video you put out has been helpful in some way. I love your LUT's and VFX assets. and I just wanted to say congratulations and thank you!!!

[@HoofCreaition]

I thought you were going to mention Runway ML, it does some really neat stuff. They are working on text 2 video, but in the meantime they have a great rotobrush tool (I use it instead of AE's version, because that gets soo sluggish), tracking, removal of elements from video and a bunch of supercool filters that need a ton of layers to setup normally. And other fun stuff. And it is all online, so you do not use local processing power. Since it has it's focus on video, and seem to do advanced and pioneering work on that, it could be a company to keep an eye on.

[@lil----lil]

The interface is still too clunky and editless. And the fact that you *MUST* upload to the cloud is a non-starter for most people. I mean do you want to upload gigs of data just to use it? EVERYTIME - They don't have any plans for Premier plug-in. I'd be glad to pay for a monthly subscription like I do in Mocha but they don't answer questions.

[@CinematicChump]

FilmRiot has always been one of my favorite channels. You guys bring so much nostalgia for men’s I learned so much from you guys over the years. I used this channel and all the DIY’s so much in high school. Thank you!

[@aiandblockchain]

Great video, lvove it. It is so amazing to see how these tools are coming into place. Where are we in 5 years?

[@FergVision]

Thanks for this! I have been slowly using more and more AI intentionally to speed up my workflow but sometimes it’s a little overwhelming to add so many new tools so quickly. It’s nice to have a list of tools someone is actually using day to day.

[@Leonidas909]

I rarely comment on your videos, but got your lighting setup & setting is perfect and soothing. In fact I believe the last time I commented was to say this about some other setup lmao

[@daniel_wilkinson]

When I first heard about them writing code with OpenAI, I immediately thought of the expressions you can write in After Effects. Haven't tried it yet but just the concept of being able to do that is mind blowing.

[@bennyweimer2345]

I just tried it and chatgpt made me a wiggle expression so it can at least do a little bit.

[@daniel_wilkinson]

That's the one I was thinking of. These things are progressing so fast it's hard to keep up.

[@soundbreaker2485]

I remember using remix in the beta version. After using it in audition was happy it was. Moving over to premiere. . Happy it’s finally made it to the stable release

[@SmithyProductions]

Where do i fund remix? Also where is the Close Caption feature found? Is this premier?

[@ahmedsuleiman1130]

Great one, thanks Ryan.

[@kiveai]

Thanks a lot for the mention! We love your channel - it's a true honor to be featured!

[@PatrickNanEdits]

Highly agree that AI isn't all that bad, its how its used that people are paying attention too. As a filmmaker, AI has helped me streamline the process. I always love testing out new programs to see which ones are easier and quicker. For example, Davinci Resolve Studio's Magic pen is EXPONENTIALLY BETTER than After Effect's Rotobrush when rotoing 4k+ videos. Even Corridor has sung its praises since they learned that Adobe has no way to update rotobrush because "the code is too old".

[@bryenolakproductions]

Wow I love where the world is going when it comes to creativity support systems with AI tech. Adobe auto frame, auto speech caption etc this is great 😊

[@nokiaairtel5311]

Ai is wild I love it people are freaking out but its going to double every year so hopefully everyone's ready!!

[@danielvilliers612]

lol no one is ready for this because we will not be able to compete.

[@DHPshow]

This was a great video! It can be hard to keep track of what is actually useful with all the new stuff. This kind of video is perfect for that

[@AmazingPhilippines1]

Cool AI options! Thanks for the info.

[@High-Tech-Geek]

Thanks for this. It's all so insane and changing so fast. Hard to find AI tools that do something very specific (rather than giving you something cool that isn't really what you need). This vid helps with a few.

Such a great episode! I've been using Adobe for nearly a decade and just found out about some of the newer features, haha! Thanks Ryan!

[@mahiaravaarava]

AI tools for filmmakers include Runway for advanced video editing and Descript for AI-driven transcription and editing. Adobe Sensei enhances production with features like auto-tagging, while Synthesia creates AI-generated video avatars for dynamic content.

[@MrSteeveAustin]

I think I’m gonna take a full month of learning. We cannot be in the content creation or film industry without mastering ai tools anymore. It s part of the process now.

[@danielvilliers612]

it is going to be the complete process soon without us. look at the illustrators market.

[@Sanctum1972]

@@danielvilliers612 Wrong. There's already a crackdown on AI art and if anyone tries to use AI as a 'shortcut' to pose as an illustrator or designer, they can get banned or blacklisted in the industry as a fraud. You want to do film? Learn to shoot a camera and edit manually. Photography? Learn to use a camera. Want to get good at art? Learn to draw and paint before you touch AI. It can't do everything perfectly. YOU have to guide it, not the other way around. AI will be regulated to prevent career fraud.

A lot of those video tools look great! Very helpful overview of what's available to filmmakers. Very disappointed to see y'all still promoting Midjourney specifically, which profits from stealing work from artists. I know you're approaching this from the POV of finding innovative tools for your trade, not trying to shame you for that. But digital artists everywhere are raising red flags about Midjourney - please listen to them on this.

[@mcandrewsstudios]

Thanks for sharing these tutorials on the best AI tools for video editing. They have been very useful to me and I am sure they will be of great help to many other people as well. I'll keep watching your next videos!"

[@mmlewis1030]

Some really good AI mentions. I'm going to look into these. Great help adding capabilities to workflow and automating things to cut down time.

[@sharchik916]

I make a lot of the videos for iZotope and have been following you guys for years so that was really fun to see 🥲

[@Garpocalypse]

Not a huge fan of the current AI trend but Topaz products are all must buys. Just make sure to set your options right. Using gpu render would crash my workstation but switching to cpu render fixed everything.

[@Garpocalypse]

@@Cotygeek completely agreed.

[@danielvilliers612]

in six month see how everyone here is crying as jobs have disapeared. just watch the illustrators market.

[@kylevorbach]

Great episode. AI reminds me of when iPhones with great cameras came out. It raises the floor and removes barriers of entry for all creatives!

[@danielvilliers612]

sincerely what does it brings, you can get very competent apsc cameras from fuji,canon nikon etc that cost much less and train it to the true art. no fake bokeh etc

[@gingerdog8203]

Its not true creativity if all you're doing is typing a sentence

[@Sanctum1972]

iPhone have been busted by MKBHD as having problems now and Apple has been caught 'inflating' its effects. iPhone is nice but it cannot handle high resolution ( above 48 MP ) and for medium format shots. MKBHD ( look him up on KZbin ) had a recent survey and it turns out other phone cameras did a better job than iPhone. The lesson? Don't be lazy. And if you use AI to fake your way into an industry, you'll get caught.

[@schoeferfilm]

2 Million 💪🏼 what a number 👍🏻😀 congrats from a small german KZbin filmmaker 😂

[@moscow-ih5xc]

I would be very interested to hear a FilmRiot episode discussing the ethical issues with AI art from the perspective of a filmmaker - a number of the products on the market right now were trained using art without the consent or rights of the artists who created them. I'm sure I'm not the only one who wants to be responsible in our intellectual property use, and want to use apps that properly licensed any content they learned from. Not all AI is bad or unethical, but some of it is definitely at the very least questionable.

[@HaroldsMind]

I'm with you, I'd definitely would like to hear Film Riot's opinion on the morals and ethics, specially as they've highlighted both Stable Diffusion and Midjourney in the video. Which are known to have trained their AI model with copyrighted artwork from living artist without consent, like Greg Rutkwoski (example in the video).

[@taylorhall5286]

This is something I’d like to discuss in the film classrooms.

[@thegeekclub8810]

Absolutely agree. I find the use of artists work in the training set without their consent very concerning. The AI isn’t human, it doesn’t think like we do, it isn’t transformative. It can only copy the patterns it discovers in the pixels. This leads it to be prone to overfitting, which is when the final product closely resembles an input from the training set.

[@dalano_films]

If you don't want your art copied, don't show it to the world. We all, as humans, copy and steal from artists - it's no difference.

[@SangHendrix]

@@dalano_films This.

[@PatS152]

These are really cool tools and excited to use them. I would Iike to put my two cents in on these however. These products are not really AI's, they are algorithmic software which have been used in our programs for decades. Now the software is just capable of more automatic features. Companies are marketing them as AI in order to catch trends.

[@High-Tech-Geek]

Yup. It's all just programmed pattern recognition. But the layman thinks it's the Robot Uprising! LOL

[@meybi6272]

You say that as if many human intelectual functions are not biochemical algorithms. Neural network-based tools are not as simple as you seem to think, and the core technology of current imaging AIs was formed only 5 years ago, with significant development in the last 2 years. Don't put everything in the same bag.

[@DethronerX]

I love how AI is progressing and at at this speed. To me, it would always help me make visual (animated) storyboards and for those who call it fake, I think its still coming from our imagination, how we describe what we want and what we choose, which makes it our own. I cant wait til we can create short films, at least as a way to explain our actors, camera sound and lighting people and editors how we want our scene, if we are actually shooting it. It works best both ways, for using it in our work or as a reference or storyboarding with sound.

[@RaphaelMYT]

I feel it's less about it being "fake" and more of using existing works to generate these art and selling them without paying the original artists or even getting their permission. Personally, it's great for previs stuff if it's only for your (and your production team's) eyes to see and develop on.

[@DethronerX]

@@RaphaelMYT ok i wasn't thinking it's using other works to make your composition, but it would feel ok if it was disregarding copyrighted material or rather only using royalty free works. Also selling it as your own without mentioning it's AI is straight up fraud. Personally id use it as reference without trying to earn from it.

[@danielvilliers612]

@@RaphaelMYT exactly, some laughing today are going to cry soon. people just dont understand how this is going to impact us all.

[@sloppynyuszi]

How is it your imagination? You typed something and hit refresh a few times that an app spits out by scraping other people’s ideas on the matter. When I type in vague suggestion for Netflix to find me to watch I don’t have some weird concept where I made the movie 😂😂 They way filmriot seems to use AI is really as an alternative to stock images. There is nothing creative about writing prompts. You just asking it things and it does images.

[@DethronerX]

@@sloppynyuszi i mean when you have an idea or a dream you like, you look up similar images and info to write it all down and draw it, as a reference to build it from scratch without using AI (or even google) results. It's references that are quicker to get, when you refresh or regenerate, you get variations, until you find something closer to your idea or dream. Everyone uses google images to quickly explain an idea. I draw storyboards sometimes and clients have given me quick documents with voice over text with scene description and google images, so i draw looking at that. In the end, my storyboard gets used, not google images. Same way for me would be to use AI for self use and not to sell it or even show it as my work. I don't agree with people using it to sell, but agree on the idea as a quick tool for reference

I see every AI tool as an accessible way for everyone to output their thoughts into the world.

I'm excited to see where this technology goes in the next couple of years. AI creation like this is just a tool and isn't inherently good or bad, but training an AI on copyrighted material without permission is where it crosses ethical lines. There's not enough transparency or accountability yet.

[@High-Tech-Geek]

How is it different than an artist mimicking other artists' styles they like? All human artists are trained on copyrighted material without permission since the day they are born and look at the world around them. I would say nearly every piece of art produced was inspired by other existing works. It's been that way for eons. Art isn't generally created in a bubble. Artists inspire others. That's the point. We take what we've seen and combine and remix and add our own touch. Throughout history you have periods where all the artists were doing similar works and styles. Someone had a new idea and soon everyone was mimicking that style.
