Runway’s AI can take a horizontal video and turn it into vertical (or the other way around) It actually generates new video to fill the frame, not just crop or stretch. I made a quick tutorial showing how it works if you’re curious

AI animation with Runway Act-One... in my new tutorial for Creative Workflow Lab subscribers, I create a 10-second film featuring two characters, each with a unique voice from Eleven Labs. I've also added B-roll from OpenAI's Sora.

Reel Farm by @fun is actually one of the most forward-thinking AI video production tools out there right now. I don’t use it for “full automation” but it can get an edit 90% done (at least for a specific style of short form video) YouTube video coming soon where I breakdown how I’m starting to use it… 👀

🚨 buzzwords in the AI space that are losing meaning… •Game-changer •Revolutionizes •Cutting-edge •Disrupts •Wild, crazy, insane, etc To be fair, AI does frequently embody these words. I’m guilty of using these - because the tech honestly is GAME-CHANGING 🚨😱

I’m developing an AI production workflow... I now have a term to describe it. I haven’t heard this term before (no relevant results via Google or Perplexity) So, I’m officially coining it: “Instant Response Advertising” - 24hr turnaround video ads in response to trends/news

Eleven Labs launches “AI generated sound effects” using “ethically-sourced data” from Shutterstock https://elevenlabs.io/blog/sound-effects-are-here/ Very cool! Compared to other AI SFX tools I’ve used, Eleven Labs SFX sounds very high-quality with minimal distortion.
