2. The Basics of AI Video Creation: This video, we're
going to dive deep into fundamentals of
AI video creation. By understanding the basics, you have a foundation needed to truly leverage the
power of Sora. By the end of this lecture,
you will understand what AI video creation
is and how it works, learn why AI video creation
is transforming industries, gain insights into benefits and limitations
of using Sora and discover how this
technology can streamline your workflow and low
creative opportunities. Let's get started. So what
exactly is EI video creation? AI video creation is
the process of using artificial intelligence
to automate or enhance various aspects
of video production. It's powered by advanced
machine learning algorithms that analyze inputs like texts, images, or existing
video footage and generate polished
video outputs. This means that instead of
manually editing, animating, adding effects, tools like SRA handle much of the
heavy lifting for you. SRA specifically excels
at three core functions. Text to video generation. You type a simple description, and AI produces a video that
matches your instructions. Animation, upload static images, and SR animates them to
create dynamic visuals. Video remixing, upload
existing footage, and SRA transforms it into new styles and formats
based on your prompts. Prompt, in other words, is a text instruction. So AI video creation doesn't replace creativity.
I amplifies it. Think of it as your
digital assistant, freeing you from the
repetitive tasks so you can focus on storytelling
and strategy. Now, let's talk about why AI video creation is
such a big deal. Traditionally, video production
has been time consuming, costly, and technically
challenging. For example, even short videos require hours of editing
post production, and hiring professionals to do that stuff and paying for the
software can be expensive. Plus, not everyone has skills to master
the editing tools. AI video tools like SR
eliminate these barriers. Here's how SR can
generate videos in minutes from concept
to completion. Second, accessibility. Designed for users of
all the skill levels, so you don't need prior
experience to create professional quality videos
and the cost effectiveness. SRA provides
advanced features at the fraction of the cost
of traditional methods. Whether you are an
individual creator, a marketer, a business owner, AI video creation allows
you to produce content faster and more affordably while maintaining high quality. Let's break down how source
AI video creation works. Number one, input stage. You provide the AI with
inputs such as text prompts, images or video clips. Second, processing stage. RA's AI analyzes your inputs, identifies relevant
patterns, and generates a video based
on your description. Number three, output stage. The final video is polished, ready to use video that
reflects your inputs. You can download it, refine it, or share it immediately. And while SR is an
incredibly powerful tool, it's important to understand
these limitations. So, number one, creative while SAR can generate visually
standing videos, it's only as effective
as your input. Clear detailed prompts are essential to achieving
the result you want. Although hat JBT by open, I can also help with
that. Duration limits. Currently, SOR supports videos
up to 1 minute in length. This is idea for
shortfm content, but it may require
you to combine multiple videos for longer
project and complexity. While SOR handles most
of the technical tasks, highly intricate edits or unique artistic
visions may still require manual
adjustments software. So how does IVD creation
fit into your workflow? Whether you're creating
content for social media, marketing campaigns or
professional presentations, SRA offers time savings, scalability, and
enhanced creativity. For example, a
marketer can generate quick promotional
videos for AB testing. An educator can animate still images for more engaging
e learning materials. A content creator can remix all their footage into fresh trending styles
for social media. Let's recap what we've
covered in this video. A video creation uses machine learning to automate and
enhance video production. SAR simplifies this process allowing you to create
videos from text prompts, animate images,
and remix footage. This technology saves
time, reduces costs, and makes professional
quality videos accessible to everyone. While there are
some limitations, understanding them ensures
you can use SOR effectively. If you have any questions,
let me know better than that. I'll see you in the next video.
3. Getting Started with SORA: In this lecture,
we're going to take a deep dive into navigating
the SRA platform. By the end of this
session, you'll have a complete walk through
of the source interface, understand where each tool and feature lives
and what it does. Learn the key settings to
customize SR for your workflow. Before we jump
into the platform, let's make sure you
know how to access it. Open your browser and
navigate tosora.com. Person login at the
top right corner. And here you either login with your open A account or you
can create an account. But overall, there
are two options, and both options are paid. There are no free options. And you will see that
for $20 a month, you'll have a limited access
to SOR Video generation, and with $200 per month, you'll have extended access
to SOR Video generation. The biggest difference
at the moment, and if anything changes, there will be an
update on this video. With the plus version, you can only create 720
pixels videos with this one, you can create 1080 videos. This one has a limit,
and as I believe, this one doesn't have a limit on the number of
videos you create. So choose the plan that aligns
with your goals the best. If you're just getting started, the plus plan is a
great entry point. Once you get your plan,
navigate to soar.com. And before I show you SAR, which as you can see,
is in the background, I just want to say that
it's pretty insane how quickly we went through
just a couple of years ago, not knowing what AI was, and now AI creating
super realistic videos. And this is just the beginning. It's insane what
AI has achieved, and let me introduce you to one. So everything you see here
has been generated by Sora. It's pretty insane. And as you can see on the right, just before recording
this video, I was scrolling just
like on TikTok and watching through dozens
or hundreds of videos. It is truly like a TikTok. It's pretty addictive
because the more you look, the more you want to find
out because it's insane. Like, how real does this look, aside from a little bit
of physics on the right. But other than
that, it's insane. So anyway, at the top, you'll
find your profile settings, video tutorials, which is something I recommend you watch, but we'll cover most
of the stuff here. Although for inspiration
and extra knowledge, I do recommend you
watching this, too. At the bottom of the screen, here's a so called composer. This is the place where you
type in text and do press on a couple of buttons and
create a video in seconds. Crazy. You can choose a preset. If you want one, you can
choose aspect ratio. You can choose video quality, video duration, and how
many variations you want. And here you will see how many points it will
take from you. And also at the top right, you can see how many not points, but credits you have left. Some of the things
might change with time, but overall, it's
like with HAGPT. There aren't any, like,
super significant changes, so most of the stuff will
probably stay the same. If there are any
significant changes, you'll find a video update. At the left, you can explore. You can see the featured videos
created by other people. I mean, how real is
this? This is insane. Come on, Dy've created
a whole movie. There are some upsides
and downsides. The downsides are definitely
the physics of this. But this one then you can see the reason
this is where I started. These are the most recently created videos on the platform. Then you can go into your
library on the left. These are all the videos
that I've created. If you choose any favorites,
you can go into favorites. If you were to upload any files, this is the place where
you would find them. And you can also
create a folder to make sure that things
are organized, although I'll just delete the folder because
I don't need it. So there are a couple
of things we can do. We can create a
video from scratch, from create new description. This is what we do
here. Or we can actually click on
somebody else's video. We can see their prompts.
We can recut a video, we can remix it, or we
can edit the story. Let's start by creating our own video. So
here's our text. Introducing a powerful
tool for small businesses, Sa, the AI powered video
creation platform. And we can either
create a video, and that's going to be
just a five second video, or we can create a storyboard. If we create a storyboard
that brings us to this editor and you saw that I added just a little
bit of text and then Sra expanded onto the text, and it gives us more of the
description of the scenes. The scene opens with a sleek, modern office space where a small business
owner sits at a desk. A computer screen
displays the SR logo, vibrant and eye catching, set against the background
of dynamic animations. The room is filled with natural
light and various awards, and small plans
decorate the shelves, suggesting success
and innovation. The atmosphere is one
of the excitement and anticipation the business owner begins to interact
with the SA platform. Green transitions to a dynamic demonstration
of source features, showcasing its user
friendly interface and powerful video creation
capabilities. Very interesting. As you can see, we have scenes. So this is scene one,
this is scene two, and I can move them
in our editor. The further I move them apart, the more time there will
be between those scenes. The closer we move
them together, the less time there's
between the scenes. So if we put them too
close to each other, there might be a cut, but if we put them
further apart, so we'll have more time to connect the two scenes,
the two shots together. So let's try around 3 seconds. Actually, let's do
a ten second video, and let's do 5 seconds. And we'll press on Create. The videos are then
added to the queue, and you can find the queue
at the top right corner, and then you can also find
your previous creations here. And you can see the progress, how quickly it's doing that. So that took like 20
seconds to do that. Okay, let's see what we have. Interesting. It's
not clear to me why it's not showing the
actual SR platform. So it says SOR, but it's
definitely sort sort A. So we can also click on Remix, and we'll describe the
changes that we want to make. So let's say I'm suggesting, instead of SOR, show a car
company on the screen. And then we need to
choose if it's a strong, mild or subtle you can see the differences that if it's minor changes,
then it's subtle. If it's noticeable, then mild, and if it's significant,
then it's strong. We just need to choose whatever
we think is the option. I would say it's a mild
remix. Let's try it. And we're also doing
two variations. I forgot to check
that. Okay, let's see. Mm. I'm not sure what it's
supposed to say here exactly, but it's definitely AI, and we cannot tell
what word this is. As well as this one, right, because A is not really good with specific words sometimes. So we can see that the
video is exactly the same. However, now there is a
person in the background. Some of the lamps are
slightly different. There are games we play as
children where we need to see the differences between
the two images. So it's kind of similar
with what we're doing here. And what we can
also do is we can blend and basically transition
between the videos. So let's try this. We'll
create one variation, and I need to upload a video. Media upload agreement. I accept this. Let's choose
something from the library, what I've already created. And here we have the
sort of sliders. And this line here, it
shows that the video at the top will be dominant
in the beginning, and then the line goes
into the other video. So the other video will be dominant after and then you can customize how smooth or
whatever you want this to be. So let's try it. Okay, two very
different results. So let's look at left one first. So we have a transition, and then and why do we have Anna? We have a transition
a weird transition, which then transitions into the video that we've done
before. Another transition. Interesting, it's doing
something similar to when we transition and let's say premiere pro or after effects
or any other software. It's doing sort of similar, especially like this
part with motion blur. It's very, very similar. However, it's so not smooth. And, I mean, AI has been
around for a couple of years. It's not there yet, but still it's the results
are pretty insane, and the reflections are so good. Anyway, let's look
at the right one. So the right one,
the computer just turns on the table
for no reason, okay? And then as if the
screen turns on, okay? Hmm. Okay, my brain, it's hard to understand what's
happening in the right video. It sort of transitions
when it hides behind the computer
that is very smooth. And you can also loop the video. So let's do one variation, and we can choose from
which points it will loop. So let's say we want to
loop it from here to here, normal loop, short loop,
and let's see what it does. It will add 2 seconds
to complete the loop. Let's see what it
does. Okay. Let's see. It does p, indeed. What I've done is I've
done a bit of a mess. That's why it looks like a mess. It's it's such an
interesting concept. And to be honest, my brain hurts a little bit
as I'm going through this. This is very, very interesting. And imagine the capabilities
of this in a year's time. You will not be able to
tell the difference. Really. And at the top here, by the way, you
can also download. So if you select one of the videos that you've created,
you can download them. You can share them,
copy the link. You can add them
to your favorites, add them to your
folder, to organize. You cannot download
other people's videos. And by the way, you can
change the resolution. However, the better the quality, the longer it takes to do it. However, it is so
fast that it's not a problem if it's four
or eight times slower. Every single video
that we've done, it took us less than a minute. Also some promises in
terms of the voiceovers. However, these features are
not available just yet. And clearly, you cannot create a ten minute video or
a movie with this yet. However, we see how
quickly AI develops, and I'm sure this will change for the better
in the near future. If you have any
questions, let me know. But other than that, I will
see you in the next video.
4. Generating Videos from Text Prompts: This video, we're
going to explore one of Sora's most
powerful features, creating videos from
simple text descriptions. And before we begin, let's
take a moment to appreciate Sora's text to video capability
because traditionally, creating videos required
writing scripts, shooting footage,
editing visuals, synchronizing
everything together. And this process took days, weeks, sometimes even months. But with Sra AI, you can generate professional
looking videos in minutes and all of that from just simple
text descriptions. Just imagine how
insane the sounds. Imagine hearing this
like ten years ago, it's mind blowing. And this technology is game
changer for marketers, content creators,
educators, business owners. The best part is that
you don't need to have any experience or
professional skills. Now, let's talk about
the tax prompt. SRA works best
when it has clear, detailed instructions to follow. A good prompt should
include visual details. You can specify the scene, objects, or characters you want. For example, instead
of sunset should say a vibrant sunset over a mountain range
with glowing clouds. Next, action and movement. Mention what's
happening in the scene. For example, a person
walking through forests as leaves fall
gently around them. Tone or mood indicate
the desired atmosphere. For example, a serene
and peaceful beach with soft waves lapping the shore and stylistic elements, as well. If you have a specific
style in mind, include. For example, a futuristic city in a Non cyberpunk aesthetics. Now, let's see this in action. Open source in your browser. And in the previous video, we used a prompt, and we're going to just expand
a little bit more in that. A buzzling city street at
night with glowing neon signs, cars passing by, and people walking under
umbrellas in the rain. I notice how this prompt
includes the visual details, the city street and
the neon lights, action, cars passing by, people walking under
umbrellas and the mood, which is the rainy night. Let's try 720 for 5 seconds. And click Generate. Right now, Zora is analyzing the prompt and is
creating the video. Even though it says it's a
bit longer, four times lower. In reality, it takes
almost the same time, maybe just a little bit longer. Okay, let's see the difference. Well, this video is
definitely better. First of all, the graphics
are a lot more real instead of cartoonish or just
super bad quality. As you can see, ora captured the essence of the
prompt pretty good. We have the glowing neon signs. Cars are passing by. People
are walking, umbrellas. You can see it's a rainy mood. And if something doesn't work, you can just press
on, Edit the prompt, customize it to
however you want. And click on Generate,
and that's it. Even with perfect prompts, you still might want
to tweak the output. So here's how to refine your videos. You can
adjust the prompt. You can customize the styles, and then just it read. If you have any
questions, let me know. But other than that, I'll
see you in the next video.
5. Animating Still Images: In this video,
we're going to take static visuals like photos, illustrations or
graphics and bring them to life using a.
Static visuals are great, but animated visuals are way
better for the audience. Even if you take a
look at social media, it first started as images, and now it went into videos. So animating, adding some sort of movement is a great thing. Animating still images can adapt tell a story
and grab attention. Before animating an image in R, you'll need to prepare your
visual assets. Here's how. First of all, choose
high quality images, ensure that your image
is clear, well lit, and free of
distracting elements, and high resolution images
provide better results. Second, determine your focus. Decide which part of the
image you want to animate. For example, do you want the sky to move or should a character in the photo start moving like waving and make sure to
use a compatible format, although SRA supports most
of the image formats, including JPx and PNGs. Once you have that,
let's get into SRA. First of all, go to
the upload button. Upload image or video,
choose your image. For this demo, I'll
use landscape photo of a forest with river
running through it. Below this preview,
we'll put our text in. Make the river flow gently while Sunlight reflects
off the water. And let's click on Create. Hmm. Interesting. Make the river flow gently while sunlight reflects
off the water. Since it logged me
out, let's try again. This one is taking a
little bit more time. Okay, let's see the results. It's as if this was a painting and it
animated the painting. You can probably tell that
it's not really natural. However, if we do it like this, it looks pretty good. I mean, if we look at it
at the way it's presented, it looks like there's just not enough FPS and it's
just kind of jumpy. However, if we
move it like this, it looks pretty natural. Once again, it's mind blowing what this
software is capable of. And if for some reason you
don't like the prompt, you can just click
on Edit the prompt, edit the prompt, and that's it. Here are a couple of
things to keep in mind. First of all, focus
on natural movement. Subtle realistic
animations often have more impact than over
the top effects. Make sure to match the style
of animation to the content. For example, gentle movements for professional
and coming look. Go bold for attention
grabbing ads. Once again, don't forget to
experiment with the prompts, and the biggest one,
keep it simple. Avoid overcrowding your
animation with too many effects. It's going to be a bit harder to explain what exactly
you want to sort, and it can also distract
people from your message. Remember that less
is oftentimes more when it comes to effective
visual storytelling. And one thing I
forgot to mention is the website that's
called pexels.com. Got this image from here.
This is where it is. I have no affiliation
with this website. I'm just letting you
know that it exists. And if you go into licensing, you can see that all of the videos and photos
are free to use. You can modify them, use them, be as
creative as you like. So if there's at any
point you need photos and videos that are completely
free to use and royalty free, you can come to this website. The link will be either below or to the
side of the video. Take a look. If you have
any questions, let me know. But other than that, I'll
see in the next video.
6. Remixing Existing Videos: This video, we're
going to explore how Sora's remixing
feature allows you to take existing video content and transform it into fresh
creative outputs. This is perfect for breathing new life into already
existing footage, repurposing content for
different platforms or experimenting
with new styles. Before uploading videos
for remixing to Sora, just like the images, make
sure it's in good quality, at least 720 pixels, decide what your objective is, and now let me walk you
through the process. First of all, as you
can see on the screen, I've already uploaded a
video that I want to remix. And whenever you
upload something here, it's going to be a
you upload folder. I'm going to select it, and I'm going to press on remix. For this demonstration,
I will use this prompt, apply a futuristic Sci Fi style with neon colors
and clue effects. Based on this prompt, it will completely change the
video, but we'll see. And I also need one video. I don't want two videos. And now we just click on Remix, and it's been added to Q.
Remix video. Click to Retry. Generation Fail. Interesting. So what's happening? There was an unexpected error. Let's try again. Well, while it's doing that, we can try the other part
of the remixing feature. Let's find a video that we like. Oh, by the way, this
one is working. So not sure what the
problem was there, but, this is great. Oh. Let's try to remix this one. Instead of the desert, the bear instead of the desert, the bear is in the
Arctic Circle. Okay. Remix. Both in the cuue. Actually, this one is done. Well, let's see what it did. Wow. Okay, so well, it did an amazing job. Like, amazing, amazing. And what I told it to do, and it did exactly
what I told it to do. So it applied a
futuristic i Fi style with neon colors
and gluing effects. However, I think it
went a bit too far. But you can see that it
changed everything completely, but it kept, like,
everything the same. So the jacket is yellow. The pollo is gray. You know, the purple
line, it's there. The sort of line
that Mr. B Oh, no, this is the thing that
I created the arrows, the 70 days, you know, day 70. I mean, it's amazing.
It went a bit too far, but still, like, what
kind of results is that? Let's see about the polar bear. Oh yeah. So, everything's the same, although now it's just
instead of the desert, it's the Arctic Circle. I hope you see the
power of this. It's unbelievable. Well, this isn't serious. It's just making me laugh. Well, instead, let's
try something else. Okay, this is my video. Let's do remix. Actually,
let's try to change something. Instead of the red arrow. What should we have?
Instead of the red arrow, there should be a
bottle of water. By the way, I
completely forgot about the remixing about
the strength part. So like, I put the strong, although this one
is probably mild. Instead of the red arrow, there should be a
bottle of water. Change the arrow to
the bottle of water. Let's see what it
does this time. Okay, let's see the
interactive media exchange. Ready? Click to watch. I'm not sure why it's
kind of lagging today, probably because the
number of people using it. What on earth happened here? Okay, instead of the red arrow, there should be a
bottle of water. Change the arrow to
the bottle of water. So interesting, the
arrow is probably the only thing that was not touched at all. What happened? Well, honestly, I'm not sure
what to do at this point. You can also see that
there's a bit of room for improvement because I'm telling you to do one thing, and it's doing
completely the opposite. Though, it looks like it
kept the day 70 the same. I think that's the
only thing that's the same about the whole video. I can see the logic
and what it's doing, but at the same time, I
cannot see any logic. So far, after testing
a number of videos, this feature is the worst one when you upload a video
and you need to remix it. Well, if you have any
questions, let me know. But other than that, I will
see you in the next video.
7. Reviewing and Refining Generated Videos: This video we'll
focus on how to take your SRA generated videos
to the next level. While SRs AI can create amazing videos with
just a few prompts, refining and optimizing
those results is key to producing
professional polished content. Let's dive in. As we
previously discussed, AI generated videos
are powerful, but they're only as good as the input or the
refinement process. If you ever read a book called Atomic Habits
by James Clear, you know, the power of
becoming better 1%. If you become better 1%
every day for a year, you'll be 37 times better
by the end of the year. But if you become 1% worse, you'll almost be equal to zero. So similar story is here when each video
becomes better by 1%. And if you do it ten times, it's going to be
more than ten times better because of the
exponential growth. So let me walk you through the most effective process when it comes to
reviewing the videos. First of all, the
videos in the SOR loop, so you don't have to press and play every single time
and ask yourself, does it match the vision
that you had in your mind? Are the visual is
relevant and consistent. Is it smooth? What about the
transitions? Is it natural? If there are different scenes, take a look at the
mismatches between the scenes in the
tone and the style, and if you feel like any of
the scenes are out of place. And whether you do it with your own videos or with the
videos of other people, you have two different options. You can either edit a
story or you can remix. Which is sort of similar, but it's like on
different levels. Think of editing the story
as editing the root. It's like solving the
root of the problem. And remixing is kind
of like influencing the aftermath of the
root of the problem. So editing the story is
like editing the base, and remixing is like changing the top part because
we edit the story, and it locked me out. Okay, here's our
robot. We're back. So if you edit the story, you can edit every single scene. You can describe every scene. But if we remix, we'll tell
it exactly what to change. It keeps the base the same, and it just changes
the top parts. And there's not much
difference between editing a movie or editing YouTube video or editing
this thing here. You think about the
psychological effects that people will perceive. So, for instance, if the
eyes of the robot are blue, it shows that the robot is cold because the whole scene is kind of bluish, it's kind of cold. It's a bit warmer here, but then it kind of shows
the coldness of the robot. So I would actually
say that it's a subtle remix and change the color of the eyes
of the robot to orange. Okay, let's remix. Instead of changing
the color of the eyes, the glow from the rose is seen more on the
face of the robot. Why is that? Or is
it exactly the same? Okay, potentially,
because we use the subtle remix, it
didn't change it. So maybe we need to use
mild. Let's try mild. Okay, so the colors
are still blue. However, I think there's
definitely some sort of difference with the background
of the second shot, no? Yeah, it looks
kind of different. You have to play
around with this definitely more to
achieve better results. The background looks
slightly different. And the robot look
slightly different, too. Potentially, when we remix, we have to use the strong option and kind of play around with
this a little bit more. Potentially, we need
to go into editing the story and editing the story because I didn't
read the story, to be honest. Yeah, it says it's
blue eyes here, but actually that's kind of working against what we're
trying to achieve here. So let's try instead of
remixing, to do it here. Orange ice. Mm hmm. Okay, let's try it. So instead of the blue eyes, we now have the orange eye, and we're creating
it from scratch. Let's try. Wow. Interesting. This one looks
creepy. Anyway, but now you see that we have
the orange eyes, right? This looks like one
of the bad guys from the transformers. Anyway, so we just saw
a real life example. The best way to
go around this is start with small adjustments, tweak one element at the time to see the different results,
keep it consistent. Actually, I really
want to try to get his eyes to be orange. So we'll try the strong remix. Change the color of the eyes, drop it to orange, make it. Maybe we should delete
make it warmer to orange. Okay, let's remix this one. By the way, if this was a movie, you would not be able
to tell the difference. It's AI generated
or CGI generated, CGI, computer generated. It's already generated. How can CGI be
generated in any way? We've generated additional
videos for you to choose from to improve SRA and ensure you're getting
the best results. The additional videos generated
did not use any credits. Okay. So you changed
the robot as well. The scenes are sort of
similar to the previous ones. Okay, let's look at
the left one first. It has the orange eyes in the very beginning,
then becomes blue. Is there anything orange? No. Okay, let's look
at the right one. Some sort of disco in the eyes. Then that's blue jumps. And anyway, you can see that you need to
go back and forth, the system is not perfect. The more you play with this,
the more you find out. And you saw an
interesting thing. They just gave me an extra
video for me to choose from. Which do you prefer? By the way, as you can see, this one is definitely a lady on the right. This one is a male robot. Pick one video to keep.
Which do we like more? She looks a bit scary, so
we'll go with this one, even though there's less orange. Keep selected. Okay.
But to be honest, both of them aren't exactly
what we asked it to do. Let's do a quick recap. When reviewing,
analyze the visuals, the pacing, the
text on the screen. If you have any text on screen, just make sure to go
through every single piece. Use the tools at the bottom to alter your videos,
go back and forth. Try experiment. If you
have any questions, let me know, but other than that. I'll see you
in the next video.
8. Integrating SORA Videos into Your Workflow + Custom ChatGPT: In this video, we'll focus on how to seamlessly incorporate the videos you create in ZORA to broader projects and workflows. Whether you're working
on a marketing campaign, social media posts,
training material, creative storytelling,
this session will provide actionable strategies to
get the most out of SOR. And being a video editor, I can think of SOR
as sort of using two platforms as using premiere
pro and after effects. Another course about creating YouTube videos in Premiere
Pro and After Effects. Premiere Pro is
the main software. After Effects is used
more for the effects. And Premiere Pro is when you
put everything together, you work with audio
and stuff like that. I view SOR as using
Premiere Pro, where you can create
all sorts of effects, but you have to take the video. You have to take it
to Premiere Pro, so to sppord software, do the stuff there, export it
and put it in Premiere Pro. Because if you don't
export and you work in the two software
at the same time, you have to have such
a powerful computer that most people don't have. And that's why you have
to do the extra export. Working with SR is
similar to that. Let's explore some of the most common ways you can use SOR. You can create unbelievable ads, and especially if you can
work in both HAGPT and SOR, you can ask HAGPT to come up with something
that hasn't been done before that can catch people's attention very
well, put it into SOR. SR will generate that,
and in just 5 minutes, you'll have a video that you would not be able
to have otherwise, or you'd have to spend
a lot of money on. The same for influencers, can create very powerful videos that get millions and
millions of views, and you can do it in seconds. Training and education
is a big part to visually show what to
do and how to do things. Just like we talked
about with the robot, it does look like a movie. So scenes or concepts can
be animated into films. Or you can do some things with corporate presentations
to make it more engaging. Add some creative
dynamic visuals. Project you are working on, here are a couple of things
to keep in mind. First of all, check the
resolution and the aspect ratio. It's better to do it in advance. So if you're going for social
media for the Internet, 1080 by 1980, either
vertical or horizontal, 1920 by 1080 or 1080 by 1920. If you have any
questions, let me know, but I hope this is
understandable. Think through the
video length in advance and what exactly you
want to be in the video. It's so similar to creating or working on a video in
any other industry where you first have to think
through and then do the stuff instead of doing
the stuff and then thinking about what
have you done? So sort of similar. Think through, I would
actually recommend using HGPT. HGPT is super powerful. It's been around for
a couple of years. And if you don't know, you can actually create custom GPTs. So let me show you. I did have to blur
a couple of things, but as you can see, I have a
couple of ones at the top, and these are the custom
GPTs and at the bottom, these are the things
that I worked on and asked HAGPT about. And in order to
create a custom GPT, and to click on MGPTs, if you click on Custom GPT, there's a bit less stuff
here, a bit less options. But if you go into
My GPT, create GPT, and then you press on Configure, here's how you create a custom GPT that can
help you create ideas. So first of all, you
can name it custom GPT, and you can also put Emoji, and that's how you can
remember it better. Here at a short description
about what this HGPT does, and here you give
it instructions. Basically, just be as specific
as you can about what HGPT should make sure to click on all the
capabilities at the end. And for instructions, it's very similar to what we
went through in SOR, where you have to be as
specific as possible, give it exactly what
it needs to do, be as detailed and as
specific as possible. The great great thing about the custom GPT is you
can upload files. And Child GPT will be able
to go through these files, and it will be kind of
its knowledge base. And with that, it will give
you a lot better results. For example, you
can download books in PDF format and then
upload them here. So just literally click here, find the file that you're
looking for, upload it, and then whenever you
chat with this GPT, you can ask it to go
through its knowledge base, and the responses
will be a lot better. So whether you're doing ads or social media content for ads, you can upload Russell
Branson's book, and it will give
you better results. Unfortunately, SRA doesn't
have this capability yet. Then you just press on create
at the top right corner, share this GPT, anyone
would link only you. And once you come up with all the best ideas in the world, practice more and more, you'll get better at it and you'll get better
results because of that. If you have any
questions, let me know, but other than that, I'll
see you in the next video.
9. Combining AI and Human Creativity: In this video, we're
going to explore how to merge the efficiency
and the power of AI generated videos with the nuance and artistry of
human creativity. This combination will allow
you to create truly unique, impactful content that
stands out in any settings. A tools like SR are incredible
at automating tasks, saving time, and
generating ideas. But the truth is AI is as powerful as the
creativity behind it. So here's why combining AI with human creativity
is essential. First of all, personalization. AI generated content can feel generic without
human input. Two, emotional connection. While AI can create
visually stunning content, humans excel at
crafting stories that resonate emotionally and number three,
strategic thinking. AI automates the
execution but humans set a direction and by
blending these strengths. You can produce content
that's not only efficient but deeply impactful. So let's go into
a bit more detail how AI and the humans
complement each other. So what are the
strengths of the AI? Number one, speed, AI generates videos in minutes,
reducing time production. Tools like So handle repetitive tasks with
consistency, scale, AI makes it easy
to produce content at volume and
creative suggestions. Can inspire these you
might not have considered. And what are the
human strengths? Emotion and storytelling. Humans craft narratives that evoke feelings,
contextual understanding. You understand your audience's
needs and preferences. Strategic thinking.
Humans define purpose and the impact
of the content. And of course,
aesthetic judgment. Your personal taste ensures that the final product aligns
with your vision, and combining these strengths
can be a game changer. These are the thoughts that
I wanted to share with you. If you have any questions, let me know, but other than that. I'll see you in the next video.
10. Ethical and Responsible Use of AI: In this video, we'll explore
the importance of using SRA in a way that's ethical,
transparent, and responsible. I'm sure you'll agree that AI comes with incredible
opportunities, but it also comes with
responsibilities. Here's why ethical usage
matters. First of all, trust. If there's no trust,
there's no sale, whether you're a business
or content creator, your audience needs to
trust that the content that you create is
authentic and honest. Secondly, fairness. Ensuring that AI generated
content doesn't perpetrate bias or misinformation is
critical and reputation. Using AI responsibly enhances your credibility and
strengthens your brand. Let's look at some of the
main ethical concerns you need to be aware of when
using AI tools like SRA. Number one, misinformation. AI generated videos can be manipulated to create
misleading content. Ensure that your videos are
truthful and transparent. Number two, bias. AI models are trained on data that may reflect
societal biases. Be mindful of how your content represents people,
cultures, and ideas. Privacy. Avoid using
personal data, images, or footage
without permission. AI should not infringe on
someone's privacy or rights. Number four, transparency, disclose when content
is AI generated. Audiences appreciate
honesty and clarity. Copyright infringement.
Ensure that any media used such as images or footage
complies with copyright laws. So something to keep in mind is SRA's policies and guidelines. SRA does have clear policies and guidelines to promote
responsible use of its tools. Here's how to ensure you
videos align with it. Avoid creating videos
that promote hate speech, misinformation, violence,
or illegal activities. Use the platform to
produce positive, educational or
entertaining content that aligns with
ethical standards. Respect intellectual
property rights. Ensure that all content, including text prompts and visuals complies
with copyright laws. Avoid misleading
representations. Don't present AI generated
content as real footage or factual documentation
unless explicitly stated. Disclose AI involvement. Be transparent about the role of AI played in
creating the content. At disclaimers like
this video includes AI generated elements
created with SOR. Stay updated on policies. By adhering to these policies, you will not only align
with SOR standards, but also reinforce trust
with your audience. However, I cannot
provide legal advice, so it's always better to check things with legal advisors. These are just
some of the things you should pay attention to. And if you have any
questions, let me know. Other than that, I will
see you in the next video.
11. Congratulations!: Congratulations. If
you're watching this, it means you've made it halfway through the
course content. So congratulations to you. And I hope you've been finding the course valuable
up until this point. Remember, if you need anything, just let me know on
the Q&A section below. Now that you have a
feel for the material, I want to ask you to leave
your honest feedback about the course by taking 60
seconds to leave a review. This will be
extremely beneficial for me to know what
I'm doing well, as well as help hundreds of future students in deciding what's the best course for them. So we would seriously
appreciate it. So go ahead and do that now. Thank you for your support, and I will see you in
the next video.
12. Staying Updated and Adapting to New Features: If you ever wondered
how to stay up to date with all the AI changes that
are happening every day, new AI features
released every day, here are a couple of tips
for you to stay updated. First of all, you can subscribe
to official newsletters. They'll basically send
things to your email to inbox and you'll
be able to read that. You can follow
official accounts on social media or even
unofficial accounts. There's a section called news on Open AI website or just in
general on other AI websites, there are sections of news, so you can find
information there. The big one is also
AI communities. So that can be forums, social media, slack
channels, discord channels. And these are
really, really big. If you have any
questions, let me know. But other than that, I will
see you in the next video.
13. Creating Your Final Video: Welcome to this video where you will create your own video. This is an exciting moment
in our journey together. Today, you'll take everything you've learned throughout
this course and apply it to create a comprehensive
published video project. This final video will showcase
your mastery of SA and your ability to combine AI driven tools with
your creative vision. Before you dive into SA, let's take a moment to
plan your final video. First of all, define
your objective. What do you want this
video to achieve? Some examples include promoting
a product or a service, telling a compelling story, or educating your audience
on a specific topic. Number two, identify
your audience. Who will watch this video? Understanding audience
help you shape the tone, style, and the messaging. Next, outline the structure. Break your video
into clear sections such as introduction, a strong hook to grab attention, main content, the core
messaging or the story, and a CTA called to action. What action should
viewers take next? Consider which of the
sore tools you will use text to video,
image animation, video remixing with a
clear plan in place, you are ready to bring
your vision to life. Then come to Zora, put a description in
select your format, the length of the video, the number of variations, and make sure that
if you want to create a long video,
a couple of minutes, then you break that
long video down into smaller pieces so that you can create a longer video
out of the small pieces. And after that, the
video should be done. If you have any
questions, let me know. But other than that, I'll
see you in the next video.
14. Exploring Emerging Trends in AI Video: This video, I'd like
to talk about some of the trends that are currently happening in the world of AI for you to understand
what's happening, maybe it can spark ideas, and let's get into it. Well, the first trend is
hyperrealistic AI content, and we've had Dali for
a couple of years, but now with SOR, you can create hyper realistic AI videos. There's such an exponential
growth with this. How can you say such
an exponential? It's just an exponential growth. It's insane how quickly it develops because even last
year or two years ago, there was a clip of Will Smith eating pasta or
something like that. And now the AI videos are so, so realistic. It's unbelievable. If you are in the video world, and I'm sure you are because
you're watching the scores, you've probably seen online
an app that allows you to move your eyes if you are
not watching the camera. So let's say you're
reading script to the side and then you
look at the camera, EI will move your eyes. So it will be like
this is incredible. It can also translate
your speech. I used a couple of
times this year. It's not the quality and the level that I would
say professional yet. However, it's getting there. And once again, it's
an exponential growth. It's fascinating. AI powered video
editing as well. Some of the apps that
you will find online, you can tell that
it's AI edited. It's definitely not as
perfect or there might be some mis alignment with the audio or it's just
it's lacking something. I cannot explain what
exactly it's lacking, but it's lacking something. And I can tell when it's AI. The more you spend with AI,
the more you will understand. I spent quite a lot
of time with AI. I'm seeing a lot of video
ads that were created by AI, and it's just getting started. And you can tell that it's AI, although if it's an older person that's not so good
with technology, they will probably not
tell a difference, especially even if they
do have a good eyesight, they still will not
be able to tell. If I take my glasses off
and look from far away, then I probably would not be
able to tell the difference. Aside from the
voice, if the voice, once again, you can tell
that it's slightly off. There's just something
lacking there. I see people using SA
in unethical ways, and I do not
recommend doing that. People are using celebrities
and doing some weird stuff. And if you remember, there
was a couple of years ago, was it deep fake or what was it? With Gal Gadot, there
was some awful stuff, and people are doing
some awful stuff. Well, I cannot say
that it's awful, but there are some unethical things that people are doing. I'm really excited
about the next video, so let's jump straight
into the next video and see what the
future of AI hold.
15. The Future of AI in Video Production: Okay. In this video, let's talk about the future
of AI in video production. I predict that it
will be insane. It will be so good, it will absolutely
transform the industry. And, I mean, AI in general
will transform the world, although El Mask does have
some bad thoughts on this. I think I saw a
video of Joe Rogan, and I was not able to tell
if it's AI or not AI, but they were talking
about ChadGPT trying to copy itself when it knew that
it was going to be deleted. I'm not sure if that's A or not. I could not tell the difference. If that's AI, it's so good, you cannot
tell the difference. And I do have quite a bit
of experience with AI. So let's talk about the future. I want to give you an example. I was listening to a podcast the Modern Wisdom podcast with Mike Isratl and he was
talking about AI in health. And he was talking
about AI helping people break the
what's it called? Like the DNA genome, I'm not sure what it's called, but that they would be
able to break it down, customize it, put it back into people or whatever
this process would be. And by the middle of 2030, you will probably
be able to stop your aging or slow your
aging or grow your wherever, like, your arms, your legs back. And this is insane. It's ten years away
from now. More or less. Okay, if we'll be able
to grow our limbs back, imagine what will happen in any other industry or what will happen with
video production. The cost of creating movies or videos will decrease
significantly. And it's interesting what
will happen with Hollywood, what will happen with
social media in general. And will the influencers
be so relevant? Because if AI can create
this perfect human, perfect man or perfect lady, and these AI models will
just talk to people. Will the influencers
be relevant? I think they will be relevant. I don't think AI will
replace us completely because what makes us human
is our imperfections, because if everything was
perfect, it's boring. So I look at AI or at
least I try to look at AI as just improvement and
making our lives better. Although I'm not sure Elan
Mack says we should fear AI. So it's making our lives better, but it can potentially make
our lives a lot worse. The future of AI, the
video production will definitely be a lot easier
and a lot less expensive. It will be a lot faster. Some jobs will be replaced, but it's also interesting if you think about
video editing, for instance, if we will need to tell AI how to edit the video, then there will still
need to be editors. But instead of editors
actually, editing, doing the work,
they'll just type to the AI what should be done. But then if we think about we can we'll probably be
able to automate it. And so we will not need editors. We'll be able to kind
of create a template. And AI will edit the
video with a template, create a video with a
template every single time, so the editors will
not be needed. But it's probably
like the IT guys. You know, the
computers don't break every single day, but
they are still there. They still get paid quite well, and they're just waiting until something goes completely wrong. And they're there
if something goes completely wrong or just
a little bit wrong, then they do the stuff. But most of the
time, from what I understand and from
my experience, it's not constant battles. And the last thing is that we don't know what
we don't know. With AI, that means I'm not
sure what will exist with EI. It's like I never imagined something
like SOR would exist, and I'm not even sure what can be created because I don't know. Anyway, if you have any
questions, let me know, but other than that, I'll
see you in the next video.
16. Last Step: If you're watching
this, it means you've made it through the
entire course content, so congratulations to you. I hope by now you've
seen the life changing ability
of this material, but there's one less thing to do and needs to take action. As Confucius said, a journey of 1,000 miles begins
with a single step. So if you haven't already, take your first step by creating your first video with SOR. All the best information
in the world means nothing if you
don't act on it, and even small steps lead
to massive outcomes. Now that you've gone
through the course, I want to ask you
to take 60 seconds to leave you honest
feedback about the course. I would appreciate this so much, and this will help hundreds of future students in deciding what's the best course for them. So if you haven't already,
please do that now. Remember, I'm here
for your success. So if you need anything, don't hesitate to reach out in
the Q&A section below. Wishing you all the best and looking forward
to your success.
