Highlights

I've taken my whole list of tools and narrowed it down to the best free option for every use case

Luma Labs you're able to take a video on your phone and turn it into a fully interactive highly detailed 3D scene

One of my ideas is using Google Earth Studio. It's another free tool, you can pick anywhere on Earth and it will zoom in or zoom between locations.

Perplexity is a fine-tuned ChatGPT. Basically an interactive Search Assistant that you can ask anything.

SciSpace is the easiest way to find, learn, and understand any research paper

Google's new Search Generative Experience uses AI in search. It pops up on the top of your search and gives a concise summary of some answers with sources on the side.

Suno can generate you a song with instruments and vocals just from writing a topic.

Meta released MusicGen. It generates music under tons of different genres really well, but no vocals.

Google released a suite of lyric writing tools in collaboration with Lupe Fiasco. They help with lyric writing but in a collaborative way.

LeiaPix can take any image and generate an immersive depth animation.

Insta3D by Ilumine AI makes images even more immersive than LeiaPix.

Meta released research to animate children's drawings, but you can upload any character.

Pika Labs creates text-to-video and image-to-video animations with full customization.

CapCut's AI tools include a video upscaler to enhance quality.

Playground AI is a powerful canvas-based platform for generating images with Stable Diffusion.

Transcripts

play00:00

For the last eight months I've been experimenting  with as many AI tools as possible, every day. 

play00:05

It's for this channel but you  could also call it an obsession. 

play00:09

I've taken my whole list of tools and narrowed it  

play00:10

down to the best free option for every  use case, and I mean actually free.

play00:15

Let's start with a couple  that are just really fun,  

play00:16

then we'll get into the more practical. With Luma Labs you're able to take a video  

play00:19

on your phone and turn it into a fully  interactive highly detailed 3D scene

play00:24

like this

play00:31

That uses Neural Radiance Fields or NeRFs  they also released a new feature called  

play00:35

Interactive Scenes that uses gaussian splatting.

play00:37

And you don't have to know either of those terms.

play00:39

The interactive scenes have a small file size so  

play00:41

you can embed them anywhere or send  it to a friend for them to explore.

play00:45

There's endless uses for this in retail, real  estate, travel, we'll start seeing these across  

play00:50

tons of Industries but also for creative uses  as well as my favorite reliving old memories.

play00:56

Just download the free app on your phone,  

play00:58

there's uploads from other users  you can check out for inspiration.

play01:01

I love the way these look when they load.

play01:05

Then you just move your finger  around on the screen to navigate.

play01:08

To create your own either start a  new capture and follow the steps  

play01:11

on the screen or you can take  a normal video outside the app. 

play01:14

Just walk around a scene or if you're  doing an object you'll get the best  

play01:17

results if you do multiple circles  around it each from different heights.

play01:21

Just upload and let it render. Once  it's finished you can navigate around  

play01:24

the scene right on your phone or you can  go to the web version on your computer.

play01:28

You can create custom videos using key frames,  

play01:30

you can guide the camera movement throughout  the scene in any direction at any angle.

play01:33

Here's a really cool one I saw on  Twitter from Ruben Fro using Unity,  

play01:37

so you can import these into game engines if you  want there's a lot of different export formats.

play01:41

One of the ideas I'm working on  is using Google Earth Studio.

play01:44

It's another free tool, you can pick anywhere  on Earth and it will zoom in or zoom between  

play01:48

locations. They have presets to do it really  quickly or an area where you can fine-tune  

play01:53

exactly how fast it moves and the angles it takes.  It's really fun to play around with and easy to  

play01:57

jump in and use. There's a lot of tutorials on  YouTube if you want more complex camera movements.

play02:02

This seems like a good spot to test out a NeRF

play02:11

That was my first test combining those  tools I don't have the process dialed  

play02:14

in yet but I think it has some  potential. Either way these are  

play02:16

both really fun tools to mess  around with each on their own.

play02:19

Luma Labs has one more recent release  called Genie. It's a text-to-3D model  

play02:23

that's free right now during the research phase.

play02:25

It's operated in the Luma Discord server in any  of these Genie channels using the Genie command.

play02:31

Just add your prompt and it generates  incredibly fast and is by far the  

play02:34

best version of text-to-3D I've come  across in terms of quality and time.

play02:39

There's people rigging entire scenes  with this that look amazing. I don't  

play02:42

know how long this will be free  but here's a few more examples.

play03:05

I'll go into a lot more creative  stuff for music, images, video,  

play03:09

and 3D but I'm also very into productivity and  learning tools so let's switch to that for a few.

play03:14

One of my favorites that I use all the  time is Perplexity. It's a fine-tuned  

play03:18

ChatGPT. Basically an interactive Search  Assistant that you can ask anything.

play03:21

It uses up-to-date information and browses  the web across multiple sources and comes  

play03:25

back with concise answers almost instantly.  It shows you what sources it used and you  

play03:29

can click through to the article for  further reading. It starts responding  

play03:32

immediately and sometimes will cite like  10 sources all in one response if needed.

play03:36

And if you're using the desktop  version it can pull up images  

play03:39

too. You can also upload PDFs  and ask questions about them.

play03:42

I use the mobile app most and find myself using it  

play03:45

over Google most of the time  for question based searches.

play03:48

There is a pro version but  the free version is huge,  

play03:50

I've never felt any need to  upgrade from the free plan.

play03:53

And I'm only talking about tools that  have really robust free plans like this.  

play03:56

I want to mention when they have paid upgrades  available mainly to give you the full picture  

play04:00

of how much comes in the free plan, that  way you won't waste your time experimenting  

play04:03

with something only to find out you have to  pay to do what you actually wanted it for.

play04:07

SciSpace is the easiest way to find, learn,  and understand any research paper, so,  

play04:12

similar to Perplexity but this only cites research  papers, not websites or the overall internet.

play04:17

So it's geared towards people that are  students or researchers, but it's great  

play04:20

for anyone that has questions in the realm of  science that wants research-backed answers.

play04:24

Ask any question and it will give you  insight from the top five papers up  

play04:27

at the top with citations you can click  through to read the paper and then more  

play04:31

relevant papers below. You can also chat with  the copilot about the answers you received.

play04:35

Another cool feature is you can  upload a PDF of any paper and get  

play04:39

a summary and ask questions related  to the paper. You could also add the  

play04:42

Chrome extension to use all those  features while you're browsing.

play04:45

If you're reading a paper online you  can ask it to simplify complex language,  

play04:48

ask clarifying questions, clip math equations  or tables to find out what they mean,  

play04:53

it's a really powerful research  tool to get answers in real time.

play04:56

All of that is completely free they do have some  additional features for writing that are paid.

play05:00

Here's one more in this realm similar to  perplexity but built right into Google,  

play05:04

it's their new Search Generative Experience,  which also just got the ability for text-to-image

play05:08

This is an experimental feature you  can turn on to use AI in search. It  

play05:12

pops up on the top of your search and  gives a concise summary of some answers  

play05:15

with sources on the side. You can expand it  to read more and ask follow-up questions.

play05:19

It can be really helpful in a lot of  situations so I have it turned on all the time.

play05:23

To set it up go to labs.google.com

play05:26

Click get started then switch it on.  There's some additional options here  

play05:29

for coding and adding AI to sheets.  And you can get back to turn the AI  

play05:33

on and off at any time with  the beaker in the top right.

play05:35

They also very recently added in  the ability to generate images.  

play05:38

You just type in the search bar  what you want it to generate.

play05:41

From there you can click ask a followup and  then you'll have a nice space to generate  

play05:44

in. You can add follow-up prompts to change  things until you have something you like.

play05:48

I actually liked this one with  the guitar. Click export and  

play05:51

download or hit edit to go into a new workspace

play05:53

There's a button to have it help you write  a better prompt, let's give that a try.

play05:58

Sometimes it ends up not generating all the images  

play06:00

I think it's just censoring  itself, but this one is solid.

play06:05

There's more text to image generators  that do a better job at various things,  

play06:08

I will be covering those a bit later.

play06:10

Now I wanted to pack this video with  as much information as possible,  

play06:13

and that is made possible by  today's sponsor, Skillshare.

play06:16

Before I started this channel I wanted  to get better at video editing, I knew  

play06:19

the basics but I wanted to really  improve so I went to Skillshare.

play06:23

This is the course I watched  by Phil Ebiner, it was great.

play06:26

I used what I learned in that course to  make my first few videos on this channel.

play06:30

I've of course learned more since then  and am always trying to get better,  

play06:33

but that course was extremely helpful.

play06:35

And this channel did grow from 0 to over  100,000 subscribers in 8 months so, not bad.

play06:40

And I've used Skillshare over the years for  all sorts of stuff: photography, Photoshop,  

play06:44

illustration, a lot of creative courses,  I also took some for coding a while back.

play06:49

And they have a wide range of other  courses on like entrepreneurship,  

play06:52

social media, marketing, productivity  and a ton of other niche topics as well.

play06:56

Honestly, I take a lot of courses. I have time  carved out every week that I dedicate to learning  

play07:01

new skills. That involves multiple sources, of  course, but one of the main ones is Skillshare.

play07:05

I love the learn by doing approach  they take. Each course has something  

play07:08

actionable with a project you  can share and get feedback on.

play07:11

I've gotten a lot from Skillshare so it was an  

play07:13

easy choice when they reached  out about sponsoring a video.

play07:16

And the first 500 people to use my link will get  their first month of Skillshare membership free.

play07:20

You can watch multiple entire courses in that  

play07:23

first month to make sure you like the  platform then continue on if you do.

play07:26

So thank you to Skillshare for sponsoring this  video and for helping me create this channel.

play07:31

Now let's move on to some music tools.

play07:33

This next one is really fun  and can get kind of ridiculous.

play07:36

It's called Suno and it can generate you a song  

play07:38

with instruments and vocals  just from writing a topic.

play07:41

It's operated within Discord  so I'll have the link to the  

play07:43

Discord server below with all the other links.

play07:45

Go to one of the chirp beta  channels, use the chirp command,  

play07:49

and either submit your own lyrics or write a  topic and have ChatGPT write the lyrics for you.

play07:53

Let's do the greatest movie of all time.

play07:56

The Big Lebowski

play07:56

Then you can type a genre. If you leave it as  random it will choose based off the lyrics.

play08:00

Bluegrass seems like a good fit.

play08:02

And that's all there is to it. The verse  and chorus will come back right away. 

play08:05

Nailed it.

play08:06

Then usually just another minute or  so and it will come back with two  

play08:09

different options up to 40 seconds  long each let's give it a listen

play08:15

[Music] In a world of bowling balls and weed, there's a man they called The Dude indeed

play08:21

[Music] his robe and is White Russian in hand, living life in his own laid-back land

play08:29

[Music] He's The Big Lebowski, that's his name

play08:34

That's pretty solid, especially considering all I  

play08:36

entered was a few words. And there is  an option to continue it if you want.

play08:39

Another fun one is to use  lyrics from a popular song  

play08:41

and see how it interprets it. I'll  try Purple Haze with a random genre.

play08:53

[Music] Purple haze all in my brain, Lately things just don't seem the same

play08:57

[Music] acting funny but I don't know why, 'Scuse me while I kiss the sky

play09:04

[Music] Purple haze all around, don't know if I'm coming up or down

play09:10

[Music] Am I happy or in misery whatever it is, That girl put a spell on me

play09:18

That's actually insane how good that is. I'm  going to continue that for a future project.

play09:23

I originally scripted this section  when it was 100% free and unlimited,  

play09:27

but they have changed that now you get  five chirps per day under the free plan.

play09:30

They do have a paid option if you want,  

play09:31

but this is mostly just a quick tool I use  for fun so the free plan has been plenty.

play09:35

The next one is in the same  realm but completely free and  

play09:38

open source. It was released  by Meta it's called MusicGen.

play09:41

It generates music under tons of different  genres really well, but this time no vocals.

play09:45

There's a couple ways to use  it I'll show the easiest one  

play09:47

first someone built a better  interface called Waveformer.

play09:50

You just enter a prompt with whatever  you want your music to sound like:  

play09:52

genre, instruments, tempo, feel.

play09:55

Click submit and let it generate. It takes a  

play09:57

minute or two then usually comes  back with a great sounding song.

play10:34

There is another feature where you can give it an  input Melody to follow but they didn't add that  

play10:38

into Waveformer, so if you want to use that,  you need to go to the space on Hugging Face.

play10:42

Upload a file that has a melody in it, I'll  use the outdated reference of the X Files theme

play10:50

So you describe the music  you want then it will use  

play10:52

the description and the melody to create a song.

play10:54

Let's see what we got.

play11:10

When I think of the implications of  that combined with Suno and some of  

play11:14

the other technologies that are coming  out and advancing rapidly, I won't be  

play11:17

surprised at all if people start listening  to music that's fully generated by AI soon.

play11:22

This last music one is a really cool suite  

play11:24

of tools developed by Google in  collaboration with Lupe Fiasco.

play11:27

They help with lyric writing but  in a collaborative way where the  

play11:30

artist is really involved in the process.

play11:32

They're all free and really easy to jump  in and mess around with. I like this a lot.

play11:35

Here's a clip from their promo video

play11:37

This bite-sized AI tool that  can take in any word as input,  

play11:42

explode it into all these different  possibilities in the same way that Lupe does

play11:46

and that's just one tool we  built nine others as well

play11:50

It's called textfx.

play11:52

These tools, they generate similes,  they create acronyms, they parse words,  

play11:57

it's a entire suite of different kinds of  possibilities dealing with text and language

play12:02

Now onto the more visual side.

play12:04

Probably the easiest way to  animate an image is with LeiaPix

play12:07

Go to convert.leiapix.com

play12:09

click upload and easy as that, you  have an immersive depth animation.

play12:14

There's sliders to change how long the  animation cycle is and the way it animates,  

play12:18

also an advanced editor where  you can get more customizable.

play12:21

Then just select your export format. It's  super easy but I love the way these look

play12:28

[Music]

play12:38

You get 60 credits when you join,  

play12:39

but to export in full resolution costs 20  credits so it's really only three uses.

play12:44

I have no idea why they call that 60  credits but I included it because you  

play12:48

get unlimited free exports in 720p which  is still pretty high quality. Also you  

play12:52

can export unlimited depth maps for free  which we will use in our next tool, Insta3D

play12:58

This is by Ilumine AI

play12:59

it's kind of like LeiaPix but  makes it even more immersive

play13:02

This is the home screen, there's some  samples you can test out at the bottom.  

play13:06

A bunch of these look really cool and  gives you a good idea of what works  

play13:08

well in here. Then right here  you can upload your own image.

play13:11

Once you've done that you  need to upload a depth map,  

play13:13

so back to LeiaPix, upload your  photo, then export depth map.

play13:19

Now upload that in Insta3D and it's good to go.

play13:22

You can move all around the scene.

play13:24

They have some different effects down at the  bottom to mess around with. Some types of images  

play13:28

work really well for this and any of them start  to get a little wonky when you go far into them,  

play13:32

but it is really amazing that you can  generate this so easily from a 2D image.

play13:40

[Music]

play13:43

This one is research from Meta, it's fun  and really easy to use. It's designed to  

play13:48

animate children's drawings but you can  upload any character you want. It just  

play13:51

needs to be on a white background  with each limb separate and visible

play13:54

Click upload photo, agree, then adjust the frame  here if it doesn't capture the full character.

play13:59

On the next page you can fix  the mask if there's any issues

play14:02

then find each of the joints

play14:05

then let it do its thing

play14:07

and there it is we have a bunch of  different animations to choose from. Again,  

play14:10

it's made to animate children's drawings so  a lot of the animations are pretty silly,  

play14:14

but it's fun to mess around with.

play14:15

You could key out the background  and let it play over another image,

play14:19

also it looks completely ridiculous  if you upload a real person

play14:23

[Music]

play14:25

On to Pika Labs which is amazing and absolutely  incredible that it's still 100% free.

play14:30

I'm sure at some point they're going to move  

play14:32

to a paid model but it's been free  for months and still is currently.

play14:36

It's all within Discord as well. You can  operate it in their generate channels,  

play14:40

or to generate in private come up to the Pika bot,  

play14:43

click this member list button if you don't see  it, then right-click the bot, and hit message.

play14:47

Now you'll be able to DM the bot  anytime you want to generate.

play14:50

Use the create command, and for  text-to-video just type your prompt.

play14:55

There is a parameter for frame rate if you want

play14:58

-fps and a number between 8 and 24

play15:00

then aspect ratio is -ar

play15:06

That looks great but I hardly  ever use text-to-video,  

play15:09

image-to-video is where it gets really powerful.

play15:11

I'll use the create command again, then  type what I want to happen in the image,  

play15:14

I'll use the capybara playing  guitar I generated with Google SGE,  

play15:18

and another parameter is camera  movement like zoom in, pan, or rotate

play15:22

it's -camera then I'll try to zoom in

play15:24

Click the plus one to add  the image, then hit enter

play15:32

That looks awesome. So you can dial in  really solid images first then use Pika  

play15:36

to animate them and the possibilities are endless

play15:39

CapCut has a whole suite of AI tools that are  in beta under the magic tools tab. There's a  

play15:44

bunch of different tools here, many of  which can be found on other platforms,  

play15:47

but the one I want to highlight is this video  upscaler. You can upscale videos by 2x which is  

play15:52

perfect for videos from Pika those are at  720p and this will convert them to 1080p.

play15:56

I started using this recently and haven't seen  any mention of a limit to the free uses on this or  

play16:01

any of the other tools. So currently this is the  best free video upscaler I've been able to find

play16:06

Those are some great video tools, but  a lot of the time you need to start  

play16:08

with an image. And before we jump into  the image generators; something that's  

play16:12

useful for any images you may have, ai or  otherwise, is upscaling and restoration.

play16:17

Most of the upscalers I come  across have limited uses,  

play16:20

but there's two that are  completely free and unlimited.

play16:23

Replicate has a full suite of  image restoration and upscalers,  

play16:26

upscaling is under Super Resolution.

play16:28

You'll find a bunch of models for different  needs, some can 4x the resolutions, some  

play16:33

will de-noise and smooth it out, others will add  some detail. Pick one for your needs and run it.

play16:39

The other option I use in  Replicate is image restoration

play16:42

There's a ton of cool ones in here for touching  up old photos, colorizing black and white photos,  

play16:48

night enhancement, or what I find  the most mind-blowing: de-blurring

play16:53

[Music]

play16:55

Replicate is great for quick web-based upscaling  but if you want something you can run on your own  

play16:59

computer that has the option to batch upscale,  Upscayl spelled with a y .org is the way to go.

play17:05

It's free, open source software you can download.

play17:07

It has multiple options to choose from  for different types of upscaling. Most  

play17:10

of the time I like this real esran 4X  you can even upscale it to 16x if you  

play17:15

want. I also like the digital art model  for some cartoons or vector art styles,  

play17:19

that smooths it out a bit. If you regularly need  to upscale images then I highly recommend this,  

play17:24

and a lot of images that come out of  these AI art generators do need upscaling.

play17:27

Now for the cool this name on the list:

play17:29

Illusion Diffusion

play17:30

There's a ton of awesome ways to use  this. It was originally trained to  

play17:33

make these really cool QR codes you may have seen,  

play17:35

then Mr Ugleh figured out this workflow  for these spirals and other illusions.

play17:39

I love these look, it reminds me of...

play17:43

these, by Octavio Ocampo

play17:45

So yeah, I love this style. It's a ton  of fun and you can do it all for free.

play17:50

They have some examples to use  down here. I like the spiral a lot.

play17:53

Illusion strength is how much the spiral will  impact the image, between .8 and 1.2 is a good  

play17:58

starting point. It depends on what you're  going for and can take some experimenting.

play18:02

Type in your prompt then click run.

play18:04

Timeframes will vary based on the time of day,  

play18:06

it's usually around 30 seconds or less for me  but it can be much longer during peak hours.

play18:10

And that looks awesome.

play18:12

The illusion strength has the  biggest impact on how this turns out,  

play18:15

that's the main option I usually  adjust when I'm fine-tuning these.  

play18:18

There are also some advanced options  you can mess around with to adjust it  

play18:20

further but here's that same prompt run  but only changing the illusion strength.

play18:28

Instead of using their images you can upload  your own and the possibilities are endless.

play18:32

A couple common ones are text,

play18:34

other cool patterns,

play18:36

logos,

play18:37

and faces

play18:38

and a lot of these you have  to shrink down or squint to  

play18:41

see the illusion so keep that in  mind as you're fine-tuning them.

play18:44

Someone who went all out with  this is Herolias on Reddit,  

play18:47

they spent 14 hours doing this for  every frame of Never Gonna Give You Up.

play18:52

You pause at any point and it's a normal  landscape then hit play and get Rick-Rolled

play18:57

There's so much that can be done, an  easier one is to create a brand promo  

play19:01

video using a logo. I'll do the  YouTube logo. Then add a prompt.

play19:06

That comes back looking great. I did that  with a bunch of different prompts and boom

play19:14

[Music]

play19:18

Now for the text to image generators.

play19:21

There's a ton of options out there,  each have their pros and cons.

play19:24

The first three are pretty  straightforward and easy to use,  

play19:27

the last one is the most versatile with  the most features so I'll go more in depth.

play19:31

We'll start with Ideogram.

play19:32

If I click over onto this top tab you'll start to  see what it can do well and where it struggles.

play19:37

It's great with text based designs, logos, and  illustrations. This isn't going to be as good as  

play19:42

the others for things like photo realism or  getting really specific with what you want.

play19:46

When you type your prompt it will pop  up with a bunch of different styles,  

play19:49

you can choose one if you want, or  just direct it with your prompt. Then  

play19:52

there's a couple aspect ratios  to choose from, and generate.

play19:55

It comes back with four options, if  there's one you want to work with,  

play19:57

you can click remix and it will generate  four more that are similar. You can  

play20:01

do that as many times as you want  until you have something you like.

play20:10

[Music]

play20:11

Dalle3 was just rolled out to Pro users  in ChatGPT so you can use it there if you  

play20:15

have ChatGPT Pro. If not, you can use  it for free in the Bing Image Creator.

play20:19

You just type your prompt and hit  create. It does a good job with text,  

play20:22

the best part is it's prompt understanding.

play20:24

You can get really specific with  what you want and it nails it.

play20:27

You get 25 free credits when you create an  account and then your boosts refresh each week

play20:36

[Music]

play20:42

And now that we're in the text to image  section I'll just revisit Google SGE quickl,  

play20:46

that's a really good option that is completely  

play20:48

free to generate as much as you  want here's a few more examples

play20:58

[Music]

play21:01

Stable Diffusion is open  source, uncensored, and amazing.

play21:05

If you have a capable computer you can  install it locally and use it completely free,  

play21:09

but that involves some technical  steps and is not beginner friendly.

play21:12

Other platforms have been  built on top that utilize  

play21:15

Stable Diffusion and make it much easier to use.

play21:17

For most of them the free plans are very limited,  but there is a platform that's extremely versatile  

play21:22

with a ton of features, and the free plan gives  you 500 Generations per day which is huge.

play21:26

It's called Playground AI.

play21:28

It's a canvas-based platform where you have a  full workspace to move around and create in.

play21:32

It looks intimidating at first,  but it's really powerful.

play21:34

These are all just from today under the free plan.

play21:37

When you're on the canvas you can  drag the corners here to change  

play21:39

your size and aspect ratio, under the  frame is where you can type a prompt:

play21:43

anthropomorphic frog playing a banjo

play21:46

on the right are some options you  can learn and mess around with,  

play21:49

I'll just use this one for  four generations at a time.

play21:51

On the left is where we can choose the style to  apply to the image, it has a huge impact. This  

play21:56

whole workspace was basically just me testing out  the different styles, I'll demo them in a second.

play22:00

Hit generate and it goes pretty quick.

play22:03

And every one of these looks amazing

play22:05

[Music]

play22:07

Let's say I like this composition  but want some variations,  

play22:10

the image-to-image button will use  this as a reference image then I can  

play22:13

adjust the strength over here. You  could adjust the prompt or style too

play22:17

Now I've got four more to choose from.

play22:18

That was all with the Haze style here's some  other of my favorite styles using the same prompt

play22:27

[Music]

play22:31

So we've got some cool images but there's a lot  more we can do. Up here was with the Neon Mecha  

play22:36

style, these turned out awesome so I made a bunch.  I also did anthropomorphic frog playing a fiddle.

play22:41

I didn't really prompt for scenery,  but these two looked similar and  

play22:44

I want to merge them. I can move the  generation box over the gap and generate.

play22:50

That combined them well but there  is this weird robot-looking thing  

play22:53

right here. No worries, I'll just use the eraser.

play22:58

That doesn't look perfect, but I'm going  to be bringing in a singer anyways.

play23:01

This should look good, but I need to remove  the background so hit remove background.  

play23:07

Then I'll drag it on here and make it look  nice, crop off the bottom, and there it is.

play23:12

That's a fast and easy composite shot.

play23:13

So I'll select the whole thing then copy  and paste, now it's one image I can export

play23:17

There are tons and tons of other  features in here. If you want to learn,  

play23:20

a really good resource is their YouTube channel.

play23:22

Now that I've got this image, let's  see how it looks animated with Pika.

play23:27

That's not bad, but I think there's just too  much going on with it. I had a ton of other  

play23:30

images so I'm going to animate those  then I want to add a song from Suno.

play23:33

I'll use the chirp command, and these  frogs have a kind of futuristic style.

play23:37

They look like a prog rock band to me,  

play23:38

then they're kind of cyborg-looking  so frog cyborg for the topic.

play23:43

And actually, I think I have to do it...

play23:45

yep, I can't help myself

play23:50

[Music]

play23:50

Alright, this song is so good.

play23:51

I'm about to spend way too much time  making a frog cyborg music video,  

play23:55

but I'll just use tools I covered in this video:

play23:56

Playground, Pika, and Suno

play23:58

[Music}

play24:00

In the swamp, where the shadows creep

play24:03

Legends rise from the waters deep

play24:05

Frogs transformed by wires and steel

play24:07

Cybernetic warriors ready to reveal

play24:12

Frog cyborgs, leaping strong and free

play24:15

With techno hearts, the future they decree

play24:20

Rocking the lily pads, like never before

play24:25

Frog cyborgs, an amphibious uproar

play24:27

[Guitar Solo]

play24:28

Frog cyborgs

play24:52

An amphibious uproar

play24:52

Amphibious uproar

play24:52
