[@LFPAnimations]

a few notes from a professional compositor. Whenever adding still images as a matte painting you need to add back moving grain that matches the original footage. This can be done using a denoiser on the original clip and then overlaying the RAW noise it captured onto the png. I also noticed that some of the fills looks either too sharp or too soft in areas where it came up against the original clip. You could probably fix this by increasing the photoshop file's resolution and selectively blurring/softening it after adding it next to the clip. Your results still look really good considering you guys aren't VFX artists. It is really impressive how far AI tools have come in the last year.

[@MertBert]

I also miss some actual overlapping of the generated content, it feels really stiff when they're just standing/sitting in place instead of wandering around a bit and rotoscoping it over

[@pabloromano6845]

Could you give us a minute of your time and explain to us how to obtain the noise from the original matter? Or recommend a video where they explain how to do that? Thank you so much.

[@enricopalazzo2312]

@@pabloromano6845 Not a VFX/compositing pro either, but you could capture a clean slate i. e. several seconds of still image from a tripod and then extract the temporal noise by subtracting one frame from another. There might even be a matching blend mode (subtract, difference) where you would overlay the clip with itself, but shifted one frame. If there is no clean slate available and your noise filter has no "retain only noise" option (which at least some audio noise filters have), you could denoise your clip and the use a subtract/difference blend mode to overlay the denoised clip with the original one. That is probably not as efficient and precise as filming a gray card with the exact same camera, settings and under the exact same lighting conditions to get "pure" noise - but for sure it will be more authentic than just slapping some arbitrary film grain onto the clip. Perhaps @LFPAnimations can tell us a couple more secrets of the trade.

[@shinysquirrelclub]

Damn. Great tip!!

[@LFPAnimations]

@@enricopalazzo2312 denoising and then blending between a noisy and denoised clip set to “difference” or “subtract” blend modes are the industry standard way of extracting noise. You basically guessed it which is cool ;)

We can't deny it's helpful and industry changing forever, the only flaws I could've spotted were the river waters not running and the tree leaves with no wind movement at all, on the outdoor environments.

Thanks for bringing this video guys 👏🏼 would love to watch a more detailed tutorial on matching the scenes on the video editing software.

[@MickBenjamins]

The thing to keep in mind is, this technology is as bad as it will ever be. It will only improve from here. So the flaws you (rightfully!) mentioned, will be gone sometime in the future. And at the rate this all is developing, it will be gone sooner than one might think

[@owRekssjfjxjxuurrpqpqss]

No one’s denying it’s not helpful or industry changing. Just that it’s going to put a lot of people out of work in many industries. Last month 40,000 jobs were already lost to ai in the US. It’s already happening and capitalism is not prepared for the mass unemployment ai is going to eventually cause. Even jobs people claim are safe like programming are absolutely not safe, ai is already able to do most website coding and eventually will be able to code 95% of apps and software just based on user prompts.

[@PatrickHoodDaniel]

New subscriber here, so the following may make more sense. Adding the blue light and talking about it prior to showing the effects of the light may have caused a bias. It does seem like a neon light is hitting you in that direction, but that may be my bias. I did immediately notice the AI generated narration as I'm trying to do this with my videos. It will be interesting to ee how many comments were surprised by this. I'm not sure if the tech s totally here yet, but the narration was good, but only because I saw your face many times in the video so that told me that those were not brought in from stock footage. Great video! Cant wait to see some more videos like this!

For a small creator who struggles with Space where I only have a corner of our second bedroom, which is not only my office corner being able to use this tool will allow me to create a much more professional looking setup without actually needing it I would probably go one step further with this, and when you’re in Photoshop, remove subject from the plate, so then you have that solid background

Being able to transport yourself to various settings without leaving your studio is incredible. The ability to create professional-looking videos without the need for expensive equipment or travel is a game-changer for aspiring KZbinrs like me. I'm really excited to dive deeper into AI environments and experiment with different scenarios. The potential to create immersive storytelling experiences is tremendous.

4:47 on the left edge, you can see a little bit of the border between "real" and "fake" but then, you added a vertical frame feature in the background which justified that vertical line quite nicely. Human art aided by AI, this is the future!

In the first 30 seconds i thought did they get a new narrator. Then when you appeared on screen i thought "hmmm" knew something was up with the voice. It was too clean and unnatural. As for the video this is incredible. You have just changed my life. I've all the tools to do this and its solved a big problem i see in the near future for an upcoming project. Just wow. I just hope all the generated assets are owned by adobe and don't screw of independent artists.

[@drewloewen6079]

The AI voice was the biggest shock tbh... Hardly noticed that bit at all. The rest of it is convincing enough for KZbin. More than anything it will allow smaller budgets to have nice studio looks. If you play into it a bit, it could be a good move for some.

Wow! I could not believe the environments in this video was created with Photoshop & enhanced with Davinci Resolve. When the time comes, I will try it out. Thanks Epic Light Media.

[@jolmstead91]

Cool concept. Seems to have the best results mimicking an indoor "set". With an inoffensive background its a great way to extend a "greenscreen" set for talking-head videos. Still could be challenging to make sure the real-world lighting stays motivated by a fake environment. It feels a bit uncanny for the outdoor scenes. The outdoor lighting/shadows were a bit off, and lack of background movement (wind/running water) felt unnatural.

[@jamesepiclight]

totally agree! The generative fill is much better at "real environments" vs the apocalyptic world we tested on this video. One thing that really did surprise us about the generative fill, is most of the time it really tried to keep lighting from the correct direction, color, and hardness. Not perfect but we were consistently impressed how it referenced the image lighting as a whole before generating the new sections.

[@flickwtchr]

@@jamesepiclight I noticed that as well but only after color correction and other post effects were applied. At first placement the elements have a paste-in feel, as you don't notice the basic continuity of light values. Color correction (continuity) makes so much difference in image editing in general relative to perceived dimensionality, etc.

I'd love a tutorial on how to incorporate these assets into Blender and track a 3D camera for parallax.

Maybe adding some kind of extra moving noise to the generated images would help among other things. It just looks like a well keyed green screen ... and that is not exactly convincing. Maybe some handheld movement - but in After Effects for parallax.

[@marcdevinci893]

This generative fill definitely opens up possibilities. I'm surprised to see how the AI generated content resolution in a 12K timeline. My understanding is that it produce content 1024 resolution so I guess the trick is to do a basic back plate and then regenerate smaller chunks of it to up the resolution

[@RavenMobile]

For any AI programs that produce low resolution output, you can then feed that into an image scaling AI to get it up to 4K or 8K or whatever. But a lot of the programs do let you increase the render resolution if you poke around.

[@marcdevinci893]

@@RavenMobile yes lots of upscalers out there designed for various types of images ( photo, anime, digital art etc). but it's tricky when patching up a higher res image and how big of a selection you should make to fill it at the highest resolution available so it also matches the rest of the image.
