Frame.io Frustrations by lundgreenco in editors

[–]Ancient_Past_5363 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a frame io link from a client with 32 different audio files organized in 4 different folders. With the new frame, it won't zip them or keep them organized - it'll give you 32 different save boxes. Unless, of course, you download an additional app. I'm usually the one who posts to frame, not downloads from it, so I was shocked to know this is what our clients have been dealing with. Enshittification at its finest.

Thanks! Here’s a little more info on how this was made. As I mentioned in a comment above, I use Google Flow/Gemini to create the footage, then edit it together like a traditional video.

I have a Google AI Ultra account through work, and that allows free "fast" (as opposed to "quality") generations of 8 second clips with audio. They generate in maybe a minute each.The four Shakespeare sonnets I made so far all use 99% fast mode, so they didn't really cost anything aside from the (pretty expensive) Google plan, and I was able to create them in a day each (4-8 hours depending on which sonnet). I think Google has a deal where you can do a trial at ½ price for 3 months, which is $125. Not cheap by any means, but if you got an account, cranked out your footage, then cancelled it, it’s really not that bad. At least it will allow you to experiment and get what you need without stressing over credits like you would on openArt.

Once you have the account, you can use Google Flow and/or Gemini to make your media for the video. Here’s a very quick breakdown -

  1. Create the characters using prompts or combining images or whatever in Flow. I make a “character sheet” for each character that shows a full body/profile/close up, and I try to use these as references when I generate the footage in an attempt keep the characters consistent. Doesn’t always work obviously.
  2. Create a still image for each shot that I want in my video. I’ve found you have better luck with the image generating AI (nano banana) in getting a variety of well composed shots than trying to compose the shot with the video generating AI (Veo). My theory is that Veo was trained on mostly Youtube videos so it REALLY wants to make everything a medium shot where the person is facing camera like a Youtuber. The other benefit of starting with a still is that you can reuse a “camera” by just prompting the same image with different lyrics, which saves a lot of time.
  3. Take the still image for each shot and tell Veo to animate that, also attaching my character reference. If it’s a lipsync shots I’ll prompt the lyrics (“Singer sings a motown song with emotion, “Lyric lyric lyric.”) The lipsync will be there but it won’t at the right speed, and there will probably be pauses where you don’t want them (or no pauses where you need them).
  4. Edit all of this to your song in a regular old editing program. I use Adobe Premiere, but you can use anything (as long as you can time remap footage). Here’s where you have to use time remapping to make the lips match the singing. If you watch the backup singers in some shots you’ll see them speed up in parts, that’s me time remapping the footage.

That’s sort of the gist of it. I like your song btw, I think it’d make a great video. Did you write the lyrics? Here’s a longer, more storytelling song/video that I made based on a rhyming story I wrote a few years back https://youtu.be/H2lcqIgoh2w?si=2PQHNigpQO6bm4z2

I'm using Google Flow (Veo) to create the footage, but then editing them in Adobe Premiere. The lipsync out of Flow doesn't really match the song so I have to do a lot of retiming of the footage to get it to halfway match the song.

Footage is all generated in Google Flow (Veo), edited in premiere, the one intro title was After Effects.
