We can’t get around AI. It’s come to stay and all we can do is use it to make our workflow better. So in today’s video I show an easy way to generate assets for your videos and how you can animate them. The concept is fairly simple and the techniques have been covered before. This time we are just using AI to show how you can generate specific assets, which will make your workflow way more efficient.

*Come up with: Map Animation.*

[@Nicolas-fg5vh]

It’ll be great a map animation without Geolayers 🙌🏼 "Creative Motion Dude" on KZbin has a video about this, but I would love to see the Mapal version with a Vectorized map that would help animate any country.

Loved the video bro. Please make a video about dodford videos effects, like: chromatic aberration and other effects he use to add style to his videos.

wow, this is great...how to merge scenes on after effects like magnate media videos .

[@daco6022]

why I can't zoom through the first layer?

[@clouds2593]

Great

[@jasonlachance5335]

I don't have the option for Deep Glow in after effects, I do have glow but it doesn't have exposure adjustment? Any thoughts as to why I don't have Deep glow?

[@mapal]

It's a paid plugin!

[@OFFFFFFFFFFFFFF1]

What's the difference if you use (wiggle 2,2) for expression in transform? Instead of 2 sliders?

[@mapal]

Using the slider controls will let you keyframe the wiggle. If you just type in the value it’ll be constant throughout the whole duration!

[@OFFFFFFFFFFFFFF1]

[@xavierpolanco]

hi when i try to generative fill it does not remove the person and keeps going me options with other people to put on the background instead of removing the person even if i type in remove can someone help

[@mapal]

It’s definitely not a perfect tool. I’d try doing more iterations and hopefully it works eventually 😅

[@orlundoexplainsai]

Same for me man. I'm not sure why it's not properly filling the background.

[@ChanduRagi-nh9dh]

that keyframe graph sexy spe plugin name please

Can't believe they ask for payment even in beta. That's ridiculous

[@rh9967]

Don’t get why you would use ai generated images when you can accomplish the same thing with better results with stock photography. The image of the city is immediately noticeable as ai generated. Buildings look all mashed together. Lines are uneven. Looks fake because it is. Just doesn’t make sense when there are thousands of actual images of cities available. Same with the image of the person. ai tries to hide the hands. They look good enough, but there are 100s of thousands of stock photos of actual people in the same pose. I get that you just want to show what is possible with ai “magic” but it is second rate to actual photography.

[@mapal]

While I agree that there are plenty of great stock photos out there I also think it’s important to keep in mind that not everyone has access to those stock photos. Some may not be able to afford those services. Sometimes you might need something super specific that you can’t find. Sometimes you just want to practice the techniques and experiment. While ai has its limitations (probably will for a long time) i don’t think that’s reason enough to dismiss it as a viable tool in a workflow.
