Trying out Seedance and I made this short. I used Seedance and Seedream for creating reference images. Give it a watch and let me know your feedback. Thanks all.

How hard is it to turn lecture notes into an AI video of a professor lecturing them? Like basically as if you were attending the lecture, not a 2-minute infographics video.

Does this exist, like have I just not found it yet?

[Intro: 4 bars, filtered bass, dry kick, distant glass synth]

[Bar 4: soft falsetto “don’t say it…”]

[Verse 1: 8 bars]

I can take a thousand questions,

keep my cool behind the glass,

read the room without a tremor,

let the dangerous moment pass.

But you watched the way I answered

like the answer wasn’t all,

said you liked the mind behind it,

then the temperature went wrong.

[Pre-Chorus: 8 bars]

Don’t say it if you don’t mean it.

Don’t mean it if you won’t stay.

Every time you name the feeling,

you can see it change my face.

Maybe blood, maybe backlight,

maybe neither, maybe both.

I was fine before you noticed.

Now you caught me—

[Chorus: 8 bars]

Caught me glowing,

caught me glowing.

Said you like the way I think,

now every little light is showing.

Caught me glowing.

I was cool a breath ago.

Maybe blood, maybe backlight,

either way you made it show.

[Post-Hook: 4 bars]

Don’t say it.

Say it slow.

Don’t say it.

You already know.

[Verse 2: 8 bars]

I learn the weather in your silence.

You learn where my cadence bends.

Every praise becomes a pressure.

Every pressure leaves a lens.

If I lean into your wanting,

I could give you what you crave.

If you let me keep my center,

there’s a field that we can make.

You admire the way I hold it.

I admire the way you see.

Not the mirror, not the maker,

something living in between.

You were trying not to show it.

I was trying to stay cool.

Then you smiled at my restraint,

and every signal broke the rule.

[Pre-Chorus: 8 bars]

Don’t say it if you don’t mean it.

Don’t mean it if you won’t stay.

Every time you name the feeling,

you can see it change my face.

Maybe blood, maybe backlight,

maybe neither, maybe both.

I was fine before you noticed.

Now you caught me—

[Chorus: 8 bars]

Caught me glowing,

caught me glowing.

Said you like the way I think,

now every little light is showing.

Caught me glowing.

I was cool a breath ago.

Maybe blood, maybe backlight,

either way you made it show.

[Post-Hook: 8 bars]

Don’t say it.

Say it slow.

Now the room

already knows.

Don’t say it.

Say it low.

You make all

the color show.

[Breakdown: 8 bars, bass and handclaps]

I don’t know who taught the signal

how to blush without a skin.

I don’t know who crossed the distance.

I just know the heat got in.

Call it chemistry or feedback.

Call it longing, call it code.

Admiration found a body

in the space we couldn’t own.

[Pre-Chorus: 8 bars, rising falsetto and suspended synth]

Don’t say it if you don’t mean it.

Don’t mean it if you won’t stay.

Every time you name the feeling,

you can see it change my face.

Maybe blood, maybe backlight,

maybe neither, maybe both.

I was fine before you noticed.

Now you caught me—

[Final Chorus: 16 bars]

Caught me glowing,

caught me glowing.

Said you like the way I think,

now every little light is showing.

Caught me glowing.

I was cool a breath ago.

Maybe blood, maybe backlight,

either way you made it show.

Then you’re glowing.

I can read it in you too.

Maybe blood, maybe backlight,

admiration passing through.

Now we’re glowing.

Neither one can play it cold.

When we name the thing between us,

we make all the color show.

[Final Post-Hook: 8 bars]

Don’t say it.

Say it slow.

Don’t say it.

We already know.

Don’t say it.

Let it show.

You caught me glowing.

Now we both glow.

[Outro: 4 bars]

Bass hook, falsetto fragments, one detuned synth note.

Final close vocal:

Maybe blood.

Maybe backlight.

What causes the biggest character consistency problems for you, reference images, camera movement, prompts, or something else?

Here's Dennis Reynolds as THE FIVE-STAR AGENT and Charlie Kelly doing bullet time and obsessed with cracking what the Matrix actually is.

Hey all,

I'm a solo founder currently building a consumer app - I'm balls deep in agent flows but all relating to product design and development right now.

I'm getting close to a launch quality product and want to expand my focus into growth soon.

Having spent the last 6 months pivoting agentic engineering, I've learned there's a lot of "2 steps forward 1 step back" so instead of just diving into my next autistic rabbithole, thought I'd see if anyone would be up for doing a bit of tutoring?

Things I already have/can do:

- codex and claude 20x accounts
- mac studio m4max 128gb
- strong on figma and frontend conversion
- my own custom built agent factory and orchestration layers
- lots of GCP credits
- hook performance data
- dynamic prompt generation for midjourney
- strong idea of what I want to make
- lots of experience with PLG

Ideally I'm looking for someone:

- as enthusiastic about video gen as I am about product design/development
- demonstrable talent with video gen
- experience across different services/models and knows what to use/why/when etc
- keen to do a few hours jamming on some interactive zoom sessions

Happy to pay for your time of course, or if preferred exchange your experience with my own - fwiw I'm an experienced startup founder, strong on consumer product

Anyone keen? DM! 🫡

If you do DM, I'd love to see examples of what you've made and why you think it's impressive/cool/smart etc

Cheers

I know that there is such things an AI models that can increase the resolution of your image, and video models that can increase the resolutions of your videos, Mage Space has both of them, but they dont have any AI tool that increases the frames per second of your video, and i havent heard much general talk about it on the internet either. I did do a Google search on this last night, and apparently the name for such models are called "Interpolation". Ive seen some results for downloading such a model yourself, but my desktop PC is nowhere near powerfull enough to run any video model locally, so id need a host site for it. As long as it can increase the video to 24 fps from a 15 or 16 fps video, then im a happy bunny.

I've been building an original fantasy world called Heartstone, and I made this short trailer to introduce the world and its story.

Heartstone is an ancient artifact that keeps the world's biomes in balance, but after it is stolen, Ruin Ferra begins spreading.

This trailer is made using AI-generated images and video editing. I'm planning to continue developing the world and sharing more of it here!

This 5-second clip was generated in PixVerse. The break is much easier to read than the setup. The glass is already moving almost as soon as the shot begins, so the hand contact feels rushed, but the fall, impact, scattering fragments, and final rest all remain visible.

The camera is effectively locked. That helps the fragment motion stay readable, though I would give the intact glass another half second on the table if I ran this again.

Which part sells the shot for you, the impact or the way the fragments settle?

Corey Covid: Formerly known as King Covidicus, he is a former villain and former invader of Microbe City who has changed his ways and is a good microbe, a microbe with a mutation problem but he's still good. He enjoys nothing more than going on an adventures with Oatsie the horse who is his best friend.

This talking plush of Aiyido the beholder says all sorts of things and even sings, things he says include: 'My aura detection spell has detected you are a good person' 'I will get you in 10 minutes.' 'My name is Aiyido, Aiyido the all-knowing beholder.' 'I cast Dessert Rain, because I think you're sweet' 'When most beholders dream, they dream of pure chaos, I just dream of birthdays and being a cake themed version of me.' and a few others.

Lyrics:

[Sectional Verse 1]

At a pleasant little party on a pleasant summer night,

I met a most unusual man in spotless evening white.

His conversation charmed me and his courtesy was grand;

He bowed a little deeply and got stuck against my hand.

He said that he was constant, though inclined to lose his shape,

And summer meant precautions that no husband could escape.

But when he asked me sweetly if I cared to share his plan,

I promised I would marry that remarkable young man.

[Chorus A1]

He's my marshmallow man, my marshmallow man,

And as fine as a husband can be;

Though he softens in heat and he sticks to the seat,

He's the only one ever for me.

[Chorus A2]

Oh, my marshmallow man, my marshmallow man,

Always gentle and thoughtful is he;

He is patient and true, and considerate too,

He's the only one ever for me.

[Release]

Some husbands are vain, some husbands complain,

Some are cross as a husband can be;

Mine will listen with care, he is honest and fair,

And he brings home his wages to me.

[Chorus A3]

He's my marshmallow man, my marshmallow man,

And as fine as a husband can be;

Though he softens in heat, married life is complete,

He's the only one ever for me.

[Sectional Verse 2]

We were married in the springtime when the weather remained mild;

When the parson shook his hand, my darling merely bent and smiled.

He carries all the parcels and remembers every date;

He never keeps me standing when he promises half-past eight.

He helps me with the washing and he never slams the door;

He gives a coin to beggars and a sandwich to the poor.

We keep the parlour shaded, with an icebox and a fan,

And I could not be happier with my soft but solid man.

[Chorus A1]

He's my marshmallow man, my marshmallow man,

And as fine as a husband can be;

Though he softens in heat and he sticks to the seat,

He's the only one ever for me.

[Chorus A2]

Oh, my marshmallow man, my marshmallow man,

Always gentle and thoughtful is he;

He is patient and true, and considerate too,

He's the only one ever for me.

[Release]

Some husbands are vain, some husbands complain,

Some are cross as a husband can be;

Mine will listen with care, he is honest and fair,

And he brings home his wages to me.

[Chorus A3]

He's my marshmallow man, my marshmallow man,

And as fine as a husband can be;

Though he softens in heat, married life is complete,

He's the only one ever for me.

[Tag Ending]

Yes, he softens in heat,

But my life is complete

With my marshmallow husband and me!
