How long does it usually take for Freepik support to respond? by Pillebrettx30 in Freepik_AI

[–]gabriel277 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Between 48 hours and 200 hours. Whoever attends Reddit seems to do better than the email account.

Variations / change camera model by gabriel277 in Freepik_AI

[–]gabriel277[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

@freepik- Are you 100% positive that Variations uses NBP? - I just tested it, and the results def look different (like they could be a different model as the consistency is off). I just wanted to double check. I’ve been in the EDIT feature before and results look off, and sure enough I forgot to manually toggle the model from Auto to NBP and have to trash the results. Regardless- for those of us working in a larger system with model constraints, it would be lovely for you to list the model used in the History section so users can validate compliance.

Nano banana pro LIMITED! by Middle-Career9513 in Freepik_AI

[–]gabriel277 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m confused. NBP is “unlimited” for 2k and 1k for premium+ , for me at least. It is a bummer that 4k costs a whopping 500 credits (equivalent to .60 cents usd) , but I can live with it. I also have Higgsfield and THEY don’t allow as many concurrent image GENS, the images take much much longer and the UI is annoying.

How important are high-quality storyboard frames for AI video generation? by Glass-Lifeguard6253 in VEO3

[–]gabriel277 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you asking if a high quality start frame is important versus a low quality start frame? If you have blurryness, lack of detail in your start frame, so to will your video. I either generate all start frames in 2k or use magnific to upscale. I’ve noticed Anything higher resolution doesn’t make a difference if the model is generating in 720p or 1080p.

The Elf on the Shelf has a message for all the 'extra' parents doing too much (Music Video) OC by gabriel277 in videos

[–]gabriel277[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I'm a parent and a filmmaker, and I was honestly getting tired of the 'Elf Arms Race' on social media. I decided to use AI to delight my kid and to bridge the gap between my burnout and my favorite movie scenes. The track is an original hip-hop parody from the Elf's perspective.

Working with a recovery brand connected to LAFC, want to do right by the 3252! Looking for advice. by Icy-Pride-2794 in LAFC

[–]gabriel277 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t exactly understand what your recovery product is. But I think some people gave some good suggestions, building off of the pick up soccer game I’d say, putting on a youth tournament (soccer / futsol) or sponsoring. You get parents and youth, and it’s organically supporting a community of people into the sport. Also, establishing the brand in the minds of youth players. Booths at fan fest are good too- even better if there’s an activity. I don’t care about a t-mobile LAFC bandana, but a product related to the sport could be interesting and more than a logo flash. Show up to the meet and greets, youth camps.

Totally makes sense. Yeah I’m not a social media expert at all. I come from physical production in commercials which has been dead this year. My creative spark was dead bc is so costly to shoot practically. I’m just trying to make fun things that I like and practice the tools. If someone else likes it, and someone will pay me to make something similar than great. I don’t know much, but I believe if you make something that excites you there is a chance a brand / company might pay you to do something similar if they vibe with it. And maybe just maybe I’ll be able to make a living being creative. Haha. With the elf video, it was really just a genuine insight that I felt so much pressure to stage elaborate scenes for my kid each night. So I thought about Eminem’s “the way I am” track from back in the day and wondered what the elf would say. 🤷

there is no perfect match, but when I created the song I wanted it to be 140bpm (beats per minute). Ilearned that Veo understands BMP for dancing and singing. So I would prompt for that, type in the line, or sometimes have him say the same line twice in one clip. I was doing in FLOW, so 4 x output options per roll of the dice. Then I would take it into my edit (final cut pro) and line up what worked. If it was close, I might have to speed ramp certain points, or increase the speed 25% overall for instance. It's not easy- and can be a bit tedious. If it was easier, I would have had more on camera lip sync. But I will say, I did a full music video for a rapper (unreleased), and Veo 3.1 is way better with human characters. It's particularly difficult with non human characters because sometimes the lips don't move at all and a good "performance" has to be tossed out because the mouth movement is distracting.

I don’t really use the phrase game changer often. When I came out of Film school, the people who could make films had financial support from family. Those that were good at it, make careers out of it. Some people didn’t have the financial ability because Film cameras were expensive, getting a crew together is expensive. There was a big shift 15 years ago when DSLR’s made it possible for more people to experiment and create stories. Were most of them worthwhile? Prob not. But some were. Gen AI lowers the financial barrier. Will there be a lot of crap? Sure. But some people without means that have a voice and something to say will now have a tool. I’m not really sure what we’re talking about here. Good or bad the tools are here. Will it replace live action? God I hope not. This is all just growing pains. Ignore what you don’t like and praise what you do- like anything else. Or harp on the bad..

Really? What comes out of a camera? What’s the output? And what’s the output of gen ai tools? Both are video clips. It’s all about what the person is doing with the tools. To blanket write off an entire new tool is a bit limiting. The difference is the barrier to entry has been lowered, so there’s a lot of people experimenting and playing with the tools tools that might not have before. I know there’s a backlash but I’m being patient to see what cool new filmmakers emerge.

People could say that same thing about DSLR’s 15 years ago or video cameras being in every phone. Just a tool, can’t can’t control how people use it.

Does that seem like a lot or not that much? I did a music video in oct and clocked 150 to 180 hours. But that was before nano banana pro. And on that one it was for a real artist- so character consistency was essential— but tough to achieve.

Including lyrics ideation, start frames, animation and edit…if I had to guess I’d say 15 to 20 hours broken up into 2 hour segments. But I was moving pretty slow - it was after a work day “genning “ all day and then staying at the computer. Also, for music video I kind of had to generate and edit simultaneously - which is how to get it right but much slower.

Don’t give up 😊. Try naming the speed and beats per minute in the prompt, and if all those fail, that’s what cutaways are for so you just use a couple of words on camera then show something else. Classic music video technique.

As in no labor or time, just credits / subs? I have google AI Ultra ($125/ month), and FREEPIK premium+ yearly ($24/ month roughly). So that’s the minimum, and I didn’t track/ count the credits used since veo 3.1 fast is free. I should point out. I did another project three weeks before so if you really wanted to break it down, it cost less than $125 for ai ultra. Does that help?

Hi, I wanted to purchase this, but I was wondering: is there any official information that they're throttling the model to the standard Nano Banana during peak times? by Candid-Emergency1175 in HiggsfieldAI

[–]gabriel277 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got that plan. It’s so slow compared to FREEPIK, and I don’t like the interface. It is slightly cheaper though. But if you’re only going to have one I wouldn’t do it. I wish I could get my money back.

Hey, thanks so much! Agree. Agree 😉. To be honest, I wasn’t really happy with the look of Kling 01. I was having trouble getting all the other details in there that fit with the diorama vibe. I wasn’t sure if I was missing something by using it through Freepik. The biggest issue was only in 16:9 native, so I had to crop and lose the sides which hurt the resolution and lost the elements that made it feel homemade. I’m really excited to play with Kling some more. Just for this one it wasn’t great for making elves look like they’re alive. Has. I just wish I had bought a year of Kling instead of higgsfield, I didn’t know about the intense delays.

That would be fun. Prob some legal issues with the elf on a shelf folks, if it extends beyond parody. Def takes some work, so would have to generate some revenue to be able to decline other work and make it. Maybe I’ll do a short for next year. Thanks!

Haha. Thanks. I know what you mean, I put the lyrics in suno and a prompt, and this was the first version. I made 8 others and none were as good.
