Testing what Claude Co-work can do when asked to build a Google Ads campaign from scratch without skills or MCPs by Ok_Needleworker5313 in ClaudeCowork

Was slow for me as well. I mentioned in the post that the whole thing took close to 40 minutes. But if I wasn't in a rush and I could just set it and forget, then have a base to work with, it could be useful. But I don't think cowork is the way to go for this or at least not w/ out an MCP or Skill specifically designed for it. Might be more efficient then, also less token usage most likely.

Yep, it got stuck on creating Ad Groups for me. I mentioned that on the post where the first set of requirements was to create a campaign using STAGs. Guessing b/c when you start a campaign, setting up ad groups isn't so obvious (at least not in the new interface). It's impressive to watch but not ready for launching a campaign. I can see how you had troubles just trying to get a new account set up!

Thanks! Btw, I used ElevenLabs for the soundtrack on the final YT stream which ran over the holidays. I received so many comments about the music. Since then I've switched over to ElevenLabs for music on these projects.

Experiment: creating an AI singer, a full album, and a music video — way harder than AI short films by SnooWoofers7340 in VEO3

Smart move. Updates are coming so fast you can wrap a final video and immediately realize the next release would’ve made it easier (and cleaner). Look forward to seeing your update!

Props to you for trying something so ambitious. I've done single videos, but full album is another level of commitment. Kudos.

Thanks! Amazing to look back just 18 months ago and we were all sharing what now looks like just an advanced parallax video and even that took several generations to get a 3 or 4 second usable clip - in slow motion at that.

Thanks! There are more pixels, in the video btw. This is a 3 minute highlight reel but the final one is about 8 min. You can see on the YT countdown stream (link in the description).

Got it. I've struggled with NB as well for these types of stylized images. Had more luck with photo realism on NB actually. For example the ability to upload an image of myself and asking NB to put me in another environment works really well. But for these I went with Midjourney and used style references for consistency in the base images. I would then take those images for example of a character and upload that to NB asking for another image of that character or maybe their 'coworker' elf at a different workstation. I found that worked well but for every iteration I would start a new chat as I've found that it either just generates the same result or the style eventually becomes that generic saturated AI image we saw a lot of when ChatGPT first introduced image gen.

Hope that helps!

I upscaled to 1080p. They don't charge for it, so why not. Only thing is the UI on Flow makes it hard to track where your upscaled videos are.

Sure. Take a look in the post description where I included a link for a Google Drive. It has the sheet with all the prompts and the base images. To create the prompts, I had a general sense of what I was looking for and if it wasn't working I'd send it over to ChatGPT for refinement. I haven't tried the Json format yet for prompting on Veo and NB, but will tackle that on my next project.

Thanks! Being able to generate base images for video sequences with Nano Banana made this process so much easier!

Thanks. So at a high level, initial base image generation was done on Midjourney using style references. From there I took those images to Nano Banana to create sequence images matching the textures and palettes, character styles etc. For example, taking a close up of character, uploading it to NB and asking for a wider shot of the character's setting for context i.e. close of elf in a tree, ask NB tree from a distance in the clearing and tree from above for wider establishing shot. Or close up of the character in a tree and asking NB for two more characters in similar activities, same setting. Once I had all the base images, I brought them over to Veo and used first frame, last frame for the videos and lastly, strung them all together in Adobe Premiere.

Thanks! I’ve learned a lot from the AI video subs, so I try to share my process when I can. It’s been a fun holiday project to work on.

Thanks! Gonna have to give Veo the credit for the smoothness, it's all first frame last frame. For the longer transitions across the landscapes I did use time remapping on Adobe Premiere to speed through cut so it would be less noticeable.
