Loved the comedic touch to the dialogue in the giraffe video. Nicely done. I feel the playing field w.r.t. creating your own content (movies, shows, etc) has been levelled to a hitherto unimaginable degree. With so many tools at our disposal, we can now have complete control over the production process. Creativity will still shine through, but now the onus falls squarely on our own shoulders. No one to take the fall or reap the benefits but us, and us only. I think that’s absolutely exhilarating!

[@curiousrefuge]

Glad you enjoyed it! We agree, this is the beginning of a new era :)

[@urIIez]

This is the Perfect video for anyone starting to want to use Ai everything haha amazing JOb!

[@curiousrefuge]

Thanks so much! :)

[@MultiplesIngresosYes]

Wow Awesome info, thank you so much! I was looking for content like this one!!

[@curiousrefuge]

Glad it was helpful!

[@FablesD20]

for sound effects, it would be nice to have a tool that you can feed and train it off of a local or server library of sound effects files, say, 1TB of sound effects, and then it can use that to either/both search and generate based on prompts either text -> sound or voice -> sound. If I could say the sound I need with an example made by my mouth, that would have been my dream 12 years ago when I started learning sound design. Next level would be to add a prompt of where was the sound recorded to determine the echo or reverb based on the space: cave, office, outdoor in the snow or outdoor in the city. Why i think that's important ontop of "here's footage, make it sound dope" is for narrative podcasts where the footage doesnt show what the sound could be from, where sounds have to be interpreted based on the narration described. so a tool that makes the process from, narration describes action, editor describes what they think makes sense here, generator gives sound, is also super helpful

[@alexmehler6765]

but the ai(s) which are released is not meant to compliment the digital artists workflow , instead its designed to replace the pipeline. Its the same with art generators, i didnt find a single instance of image or video generation ai which would help me comp my aftereffects shot quicker.. instead it provides a eat or die solution and you have to hammer and drill it from all sides until it becomes usable in traditional workflow

[@curiousrefuge]

That would be an interesting tool. I'm sure in the future we will see things like that where the artists can have a tool be a complement to their existing work.

[@marcus_ohreallyus]

This one is actually pretty good. The motion slider isn't as sensitive as some of the others.

[@ThePolygonist]

I find it very sensitive. You should try not to go over 1. But that's just my first impression

[@marcus_ohreallyus]

@@ThePolygonist well. If you put it at the max, you should expect weird things to happen. So eof the others warp the image with the slider at 0.1

Runway, Pika and Pix Verse Game of the week

[@ThePolygonist]

For me it is absolutely pixverse. Sure, it's limited in its possibilities compared to Runway and Pika Labs, but it's free and you don't have a watermark. I've also gotten damn good results when it comes to rotating a simple object like a ship 90 degrees

[@curiousrefuge]

This could be the biggening of the end of Hollywood and movie/tv series productions. Just a few years from now these tools will produce full movies and tv shows. It'll probably turn into a service for generating custom productions. This applies to Anime as well which we might see even sooner

[@curiousrefuge]

Sorry! I'm unsure if I understand what you're asking...

[@RR-tj4iv]

I mean, let's say we take a clip from The Lion King where the lion turns its head to the left. Is there a way to achieve that it becomes a realistic video of a real&photorealist lion turning its head to the left? Many softwares can transform real video footage into animated cartoon, but I want to do the reverse

[@alexmehler6765]

i figure the landscape of video will all be slowmo footage for the foreseeable future

[@curiousrefuge]

With careful editing it can be sped up for the desired effect.

[@MaryAnn-vc7nc]

is runaway free to use that brush new feature?

[@curiousrefuge]

You still need a paid plan, but the feature itself is not an additional cost.
