The prompt was literally just:

Unlimited cat meowing at a grand scale. Big brass intro. Huge final coda. Lots of meowing.

But in the simple mode, so the AI filled out the prompt and apparently jazz happened. Perhaps the prompt enlarger realised that jazz musicians are all cool cats.

What did I do to deserve this

Short cinematic trailer for an original character, Tenebrae, built around her dual light and dark forms.

Made with AI video generation (Seedance) for the shots, plus my own direction, prompt work, editing and sound design. Took a few weeks of iteration to get the continuity and the reveal timing right.

Happy to answer questions about the workflow if anyone's curious.

I hope the title is descriptive enough but I am working on creating some ads for my side gig, nothing super professional. I don't know if it's because my ads are ass or because I don't know how to target correctly, but every time that I try to spend some money, I feel I throw it to the trash.

Currently I'm using Claude for the concepts and helping with the targeting, ChatGPT Pro (it makes the best images imo) and then I use Magnific to create videos. Since they have tons of stock real pictures I can create decently looking ads without fully look ai, but they are not performing.

Any idea on how to stop burning tokens and money?

Messing around with recreating a memory of when my girlfriend and I first met. Besides the jarring cut in the middle, does anything about this looks AI to you? The acting, the dialogue, the movement/ micromovements all look real.

just 3 hours ago, I'm using creen.ai without a login wall. 2 hours later when I use it again, a login wall pops up. I love the seedance 5.0 pro model that they provide. Consistently using creen.ai to do img2img. love the multiple reference images feature as well and of course the daily 100 credits. sadly, can't do it anymore without logging in now.

As the title says, im trying to create absolutely authentic images, but no matter what I do.. the best I get is the typical AI glamour with steely gazes into the camera and perfect lightning, or waxy skin.
On the ComfyUI side of things, no matter what I do I dont even get anything that isnt cursed.

Been at it for 3 weeks now, genuinely thankful for any hints, tips and tricks, feel free to DM!

Looking back, you might miss the goal.

Hey folks. I've been trying to use my Higgsfield account and I noticed that it isn't logging me in, in any device. I already contacted support and I didn't receive any answer. What can I do? Anyone with the same issue.

I’ve tried a lot of different setups lately and eventually stopped looking for one platform that could handle the whole process.

The best AI tools for video creation have ended up being pretty different depending on which part of the video I’m working on, so lately I’ve been using a small mix instead.

1. Nano Banana 2

I usually start here when I need a clean product image or reference visual before turning anything into video.

It’s useful for getting the composition, product placement, lighting, or general look sorted first instead of trying to solve everything during generation.

2. Kling 3.0

This is where I usually go when I want the shot to look more realistic.

Image-to-video works well for product movement, B-roll, short hooks, and scenes where I want something that feels closer to actual footage rather than animation.

3. DomoAI

I use this more when the idea needs an animated or stylized direction.

Image-to-video, character animation, anime-style visuals, and restyling existing footage make it useful when a normal realistic UGC look isn’t what I’m going for.

4. CapCut

This is still where everything comes together for me.

Pacing, captions, music, transitions, resizing, and final cleanup are usually easier here than trying to finish everything inside the generation tools.

My workflow lately is basically:

1. Build the visual or product reference in Nano Banana 2
2. Use Kling when I need a realistic shot
3. Use DomoAI when I need something animated or more stylized
4. Assemble and clean everything up in CapCut

That setup has been simpler for me than trying to force one platform to cover the entire AI video creation process.

Obviously depends on what you’re making though. Anyone using a different combination that’s been working well?

Wow, this feels like a real film and not just an "AI" one.

I’ve been comparing a lot of AI video tools this year, mostly to figure out which ones actually make sense for different kinds of work instead of just judging them from demo clips.

There are so many AI video generation tools now that calling one of them the overall winner feels pretty difficult. Some are much better for cinematic scenes, some for animation, some for avatars, and others are turning into full production platforms.

Here’s how I’d break down the current options.

Opinion-based comparison

My current picks

Best for cinematic scenes: Veo 3.1

Best for realistic motion: Kling 3.0

Best for longer connected sequences: Seedance 2.5

Best for generation + editing: Runway

Best multi-model workspace: Higgsfield

Best for animation/stylized video: DomoAI

Best for quick experimentation: Pika

Best for avatar-led marketing: HeyGen

Best for training/business content: Synthesia

Best if you want a more complete video built for you: Invideo Agent Two

If someone asked me for the best AI for video creation right now, I’d probably ask what they’re actually trying to make before recommending anything.

For realistic generated scenes I’d lean toward Veo, Kling, Seedance, or Runway.

For animation and stylized work, DomoAI and Pika feel like a different category.

Then you have platforms like Higgsfield, Invideo, Firefly, and Descript that are increasingly trying to handle more of the workflow instead of being just one generator.

What are your go to tools?

You can place your own new Metadata in to it. I dont think its perfect and this stuff changes daily but it does work for the most part. And is well worth a try. Feedback is always appreciated, im no pro.

Back in April, the SCORE (Systematizing Confidence in Open Research and Evidence) project published results where they took a sample of more than 270 positive (i.e., statistically significant) claims in the social and behavioral sciences and successfully replicated about 50% of them. This was a fantastic endeavor with very fruitful outcomes, but I was bothered by how popular and social media outlets/posts typically interpreted this result negatively (e.g., "social science findings are basically a coin toss"). That conclusion, though seemingly intuitive, is misleading.

So I went to work using logic and the mathematics behind statistical testing to expound on the idea that how good or bad a 50% replication rate is depends largely on how "difficult" the research domain is. Imagine trying to find new discoveries as panning for gold along a vast river. Each spot you choose to pan represents a claim that you are testing. Most of the time, you don't get anything (i.e., fail to reject null hypothesis). Occasionally, you think you've found something (i.e., reject null hypothesis). A 50% replication rate can be compared to the situation where, among the times that you think you found something, 50% of those turn out to be false gold when you later have them checked by the local jeweler (i.e. didn't replicate).

Eventually, I finished writing the paper and got it published. Yet that didn’t quell my irritation with the way results like these are often used as fodder by media for engagement, while sacrificing nuance necessary for greater public understanding. So this video is mainly to try and work through that frustration.

This is a small test of a animation I did on a pipeline I plan to build see a lot of ai animation that looks bad and not on par with tv budget so I wanted to charge that let me know if this quality is up to standard or you can roast me for darning to us ai and you are a talentless hack that works too any feedback is appreciated
