hi, im checkin on it good job. Is .clipchamp ok for edition software?

[@CosmosAbasita-d9l]

Please sir what editing app do you use

[@VinodKumarPhoto]

thank you Nick you have just given me the confidence to start video recording with zero budget :)

[@NickKendall]

Nice! Best of luck! :)

[@carlograzioli]

So simple yet incredible!

[@NickKendall]

AI is amazing!

[@macvince]

Great tutorial, really interesting - I’ll have to try that! Had no clue you could do this for free. Love the straight to the point intro.

[@NickKendall]

Thanks Vince! :)

[@ThoughtfulAl]

Now all you need is a new battery for the wall clock

[@NickKendall]

Right! 😂

[@crazyaboutfooty]

Ha ha! Brilliant!

[@JeremyBuildsBusinesses]

@@NickKendall don't listen to that! Even a broken clock is correct twice a day.

[@MomLifeX6]

It’s a fake clock

[@mustafaeng3417]

[@stereoheartsrnb]

Dope video. Is there any way to create multiple videos over multiple days that look like they are in the same room? But every time you film it's slightly different lighting, slightly different angle etc.

[@NickKendall]

Hmm yeah makes it tricky with different angles and lighting. Each AI image will really only work with a single setup. But you can reuse the image if your setup always stays the same.

[@stereoheartsrnb]

@@NickKendall Ok thanks for the tips

[@dudleydooright]

Lighting would be easy. Just use copies of the same pic and adjust exposure.

[@stereoheartsrnb]

Can you drop some good prompts, especially for those shelves? I tried to do this even with a screenshot of your video as the base image but everything I generate in Photoshop looks awful and nothing like these realistic things.

[@mohammadnishat3032]

Have u found any solution yet?

[@JonathanHubJam]

me the exact same - outputs are awful squidgy messes!!!

[@mohammadnishat3032]

​@@JonathanHubJam I think we need to get the premium version of it

[@dudleydooright]

Have ChatGPT write your prompts for the AI image generation. Tell it what you are wanting and that you want the exact prompt. It does a great job.

[@renoir.kobashi]

Looks amazing, thanks bro! Real question: on a scale of 1-10, how hard is this? 😅 I'm gonna start experimenting, but I want to keep it fairly simple for now... thanks!!

[@NickKendall]

That probably depends on how much previous experience you have with this type of thing; if you have no previous experience then it might be an 7, but if you have a little background with video editing and AI, then maybe a 3? :) Do some experimenting and see how you! That's definitely the best way to learn :)

[@renoir.kobashi]

@@NickKendall Thank you, sir!! I really appreciate your reply. I will start experimenting and will let you know how it goes!

[@CyclopsJoeVideos]

[@FinishTheRaceVL7]

Thank you so much Nick. I had followed along with you throughout the entire video tutorial and it worked out smoothly. Woohoo!

[@NickKendall]

So good! Glad I could help!!

[@formynsane]

What about if you have two different angled cameras? and you want to reproduce the same objects on the background with different perspectives?

[@NickKendall]

That would be pretty tricky to pull off unfortunately. Firefly doens't have that kind of capability yet that I know of.

[@danielgrenbom8178]

Well done! love how simple and straight to the point you made it

[@NickKendall]

Thanks! :)

[@robgalvin5400]

Great tutorial - BTW - how do you not have a shadow with your glasses. I have two Elgato key lights in front of me higher than my glass so it takes care of the reflection, but I still have shadows from my glasses showing around my eyes

[@NickKendall]

Great question! It's likely that they aren't providing enough diffusion (a common issue with flat LED panels). You could buy a basic diffuser to put in front of them or even hanging a sheet could help. The more diffused the light, the less harsh shadows :)

[@sazzadhossain5553]

which software do you use for video editing? is it possible by Camtasia Video editing software?

[@NickKendall]

I use Final Cut Pro; your software just needs to be capable of adding a mask.

[@PatriotRebel1776]

[@AK577bd34]

Thanks for the tutorial. I can't find the draw mask filter in Adobe Premiere pro. Where did you find it? It's not under the effects in the software

[@NickKendall]

It's a little different in Prem; If you go to the opacity option on the image, you can click the pen tool just below it and then draw your mask on the image. Hope that helps!

Nice, good luck! :)

[@DawahDigital]

What if you put the mask of yourself in front of the AI layer? Would that give more freedom to move without messing up the background layer?

[@NickKendall]

To do that, you've have to mask out yourself entirely including all your hand movements which could be very time consuming depending on how you do it :) So, technically possible but practically not super viable.

[@DawahDigital]

@@NickKendallyeah I see your point. Thanks for replying.

@@NickKendall Awesome! Thanks!

[@jairoespinosa_trainer]

What if you rotoscpoe yourself on top of that? that could fix the problem of the cutting hands or whatever if you move around too much

[@NickKendall]

Yes, that would fix the problem! It can be time consuming and hard to cleanly rotoscope moving hands though, but it would make a difference :)

Pherhabs you need the premium version but i don't know.

[@romancg]

If you look carefully, those shelves look pretty bad too.

[@aeapplabs]

Keep trying out with different prompts.

[@cferracini]

There are configurations on Firefly. Remember to make sure yours is on photo. Aside from that I find easier to do a section at a time. If you like something but it has issues click that you accept and erase the issues. Also, don't try to generate from nothing. Firefly sucks at creating stuff. It's a good tool to edit

Is the draw mask effect available in iMovie? I've been searching for it but can't find it.

[@NickKendall]

Unfortunately I don't think there is one natively. If you have a search around you might be able to find a workaround. A free editing alternative is CapCut which I believe has a masking tool!

[@mariagavryliuk]

I like this tutorial so much! How do i do this with DaVinci resolve 18 ?

[@NickKendall]

Thanks for watching! It's a similar process with Resolve; if you Google "how to mask in Resolve" you should get some good tutorials that explain it :)

Hey! Great video, is it possible to use this feature in a live broadcast or with Google Meet for example? Thanks!

[@NickKendall]

Good question, I’m sure it’s possible. I haven’t done it but you could theoretically use OBS to add the AI image as an overlay on your live feed and then send a virtual camera output to your broadcast service!

[@DanielBrown-cc4hw]

This is SOOOO Cool!! Thank you!!

[@NickKendall]

You are so welcome! :)

[@oodoo79]

I would like to do that in real time (not edited video) for a zoom background. Is there a way?

[@NickKendall]

If you route your video feed through OBS, you should be able to add a mask to the AI image there before you send it to Zoom :)

[@ashleytaylor994]

I plan on doing this and I am going to get a backdrop. We plan on removing the entire background and using An AI created background. What color do you recommend? Should I get white, gray or black or does it matter?

[@juliea1847]

I would go with grey. If you pair that with colored studio lights you can have a variety of colored settings with only one backdrop. KZbinr Ben Johnson explained this in his video "Best Studio Background For KZbin Videos". I'm probably going to go with this concept as well 👍 kzbin.info/www/bejne/d56pZqCmabh6d6csi=zeRRCTV9vQeqCYW8

[@NickKendall]

Excellent point! White or gray might be best to give you options. You have to remember that the color that's behind you will inform the AI what color theme to use for the rest of your frame.

Hiiiii sir, If we use AI background, should KZbin tag yes on altered content? Pls pls pls replay sir

[@WebDeva7]

But how do you sync the photo with the audio? I’m using Filmora 11 and still a newbie editor. This looks cool and would solve a lot of problems but I think it would add 8 hours to my editing time. I’m still over here trying to figure out transitions and due to limited space. My KZbin workflow is currently Film on webcam using Zoom clips to have an awesome background Create chapter slides in Canva Import everything into Filmora and do VERY BASIC editing. 😢

[@ryancooper3629]

This does work extremely well but is very difficult to reproduce over the course of many videos. Even with the same set, same lighting, same camera, etc because even subtle differences in light position, ambient light, camera position, etc will ruin the blend. Id argue your best option if you are trying to create a digital “set” for a KZbin channel is to still key yourself out and put the ai generated background fully behind you rather than trying to recreate the same scene every time and achieve a perfect blend.

[@NickKendall]

Great advice!
