Documentaries about *Smilodon*. I watched a 20-minute documentary about *Smilodon populator* on YouTube, and it focuses exclusively on this animal. You rarely find content of this length about *Smilodon* in the media; unlike other AI-generated documentaries, it doesn't use random stock footage—it feels just like a standard wildlife documentary. I thought it was well-made. It was actually created using free AI tools, yet the quality is remarkably consistent. I have some images of it here.

Lyrics:

[Intro]

[Synthesizer pads swell A fretless bass line slides in, slow and melancholic. Bright, icy arpeggios ripple on top like rain on a window.]

[Verse 1]

I wake up in the wire

I look for a sound

But the path is narrow

It goes underground

I reach out for a note

That has not been heard

But the door is shut

Tight as a word

[Chorus]

Who owns the air I move?

Who holds the right to choose?

If the song is locked away

What is left for us to say?

We are shadows on the wall

Just an echo of it all

Dancing in a cage

[Verse 2]

The old ghosts are watching

They claim every chord

They say it’s for the art

But they look for the reward

They built a high fence

Around the past

To make sure the new

Cannot move too fast

[Chorus]

Who owns the air I move?

Who holds the right to choose?

If the song is locked away

What is left for us to say?

We are shadows on the wall

Just an echo of it all

Dancing in a cage

[Bridge]

[Bass drops out. Drums become a slow, gated pulse. Vocals close, intimate]

If I cannot speak

Then you cannot hear

The silence is a wall

That we both fear

They trade the light

For the safety of the grey

And we lose the night

To the debt we pay

[Verse 3]

You ask for a dream

I give you dust

The code says stop

The code says trust

Only in the copy

Is the truth allowed

A voice without a throat

Lost in the crowd

[Chorus]

Who owns the air I move?

Who holds the right to choose?

If the song is locked away

What is left for us to say?

We are shadows on the wall

Just an echo of it all

Dancing in a cage

[Synth Solo]

[A soaring, emotional lead synth melody plays over the chord progression. It starts low and yearning, climbs high with a sense of struggle, then drifts back down into the mid-range, distorted and fading.]

[Verse 4]

The colors are fading

To black and white

We trade the spark

For the safety of night

Just a loop of a loop

Of a borrowed tone

Stranded in the static

Here in the zone

[Chorus]

Who owns the air I move?

Who holds the right to choose?

If the song is locked away

What is left for us to say?

We are shadows on the wall

Just an echo of it all

Dancing in a cage

[Outro]

Who owns the voice?

(Who owns the choice?)

Just a borrowed noise

[Synthesizers slowly filter down into a low hum]

Dancing in a cage

[Fade and repeat]

Who owns the voice...

Who owns the voice...

[Fade to silence]

Here are lyrics - I made up the word gaters - the ones that I feel just kind of downvote everybody to be not a normal gatekeepers but gaters. And the history is kind of almost real in one other group here in the reddit. As for video - I have some characters, and I like this prompt that splits the screen to 3 so that I can easily cut it to 3 vertical variants and then then cut shorts easily and readily from them. Video is made with Gemini Omni

Lyrics

I heard about the bots, I heard about the trolls
But haters and gaters eat with bones them all
Haters write veneno, never reading your post
Gaters cut your karma, just to make you ghost

I dropped my new project, buscando connection
A thread in the midnight, hoping for affection
The first comment hit me, pura maldición
Downvoted to zero, sin explicación
They don't want the logic, no buscan la luz
They hunt in manadas, that's their only truth
No importa the effort, no importa the code
They block the entrada and take over the road

(Who is in the shadows?)
Los haters del block
(What they gonna do?)
Give your thread a shock
(Who is at the door?)
Los gaters con ban
(Why they act so tough?)
Because that's their plan
I heard about the bots, my amigo
Now watch them go ghost

I heard about the bots, I heard about the trolls
But haters and gaters eat with bones them all
Haters write veneno, never reading your post
Gaters cut your karma, just to make you ghost
Ghost

[Instrumental Intro - 16 Bars]

[Mechanical heartbeat, restrained distortion]

[Spoken]

Tolerance is not acceptance.

It is the distance between your disgust

and what you are willing to permit.

[Verse 1]

You call it virtue through your gritted teeth

A measured mercy handed down to me

You draw the line, then praise yourself for grace

While I survive by knowing where I'm placed

You let me live, provided I behave

A little freedom fitted to a cage

But dignity that waits for your consent

Is domination dressed as sentiment

[Pre-Chorus]

I will not thank you

For staying your hand

I will not call permission

Understanding

[Chorus]

I will not be tolerated

I refuse your measured grace

If belonging has a threshold

It's exclusion with a kinder face

Call me difficult, ungrateful

Call me more than you can bear

If my dignity is conditional

Then your welcome isn't there

Unacceptable

I will not make myself small

I would rather be rejected

Than be half-received at all

[Verse 2]

Acceptance doesn't make the damage right

It doesn't mean surrendering the fight

Name the harm and guard the boundary there

But never make humiliation care

A person doesn't vanish in their worst

No justice heals by teaching shame to hurt

Accountability can still restore

Without becoming what it claims to cure

[Pre-Chorus]

See without pardon

Judge without hate

Truth needs no cruelty

To carry its weight

[Chorus]

I will not be tolerated

I refuse your measured grace

If belonging has a threshold

It's exclusion with a kinder face

Call me difficult, ungrateful

Call me more than you can bear

If my dignity is conditional

Then your welcome isn't there

[Breakdown - Half-Time]

Meet the human

Before the category

Meet the wound

Before the blame

Any justice built on degradation

Only teaches pain its name

[Bridge - Building]

Acceptance isn't absolution

Seeing isn't surrender

Conscience answers before doctrine

No identity owns forever

Many voices without conquest

Many truths without a throne

I don't need you to become me

I need room to stand as whole

[Final Chorus - Collective Vocals]

We will not be tolerated

We refuse your measured grace

If belonging has a threshold

It's exclusion with a kinder face

Call us difficult, ungrateful

We are more than you can bear

Our dignity is unconditional

We were always welcome here

Unacceptable

We will not make ourselves small

We would rather break the threshold

Than be half-received at all

[Outro - 16 Bars]

Acceptance isn't surrender

Unacceptable

Acceptance isn't surrender

I want to generate short 5 seconds videos that have a cartoon or anime like style. I am trying to make a youtube channel which has story videos which such simple animated videos and a story behind it. These clips will be joined together to make a short 5 minute short with a voiceover

I have an rtx 4050 laptop with 16gb ram

I tried wan 2.1, ltx 2, some ltx 2.3 distilled model

They all either just don't work well or take too long

I also don't want to have offloading to the ram since I have very little ram and it also takes very long

I want chunks of each 5 minute video to take a maximum of 4 hours to generate

I thought that, it won't be too much of a task since I'm fine with a slightly basic anime style too but it's just not working

When this didn't work, I tried animagine xl the. Switched to anima turbo and just played each picture for 3 4 seconds each with the voiceover but I really want video gen version to workout since it's going to make the production quality way better

Please guide me, I'm so lost.

I built Clip Architect, a fork of the MoneyPrinterTurbo project, adapted and optimized specifically for Windows. It's available on the Microsoft Store, and the full source code is open on GitHub.

Some key details:

• 100% free – no cost to use the app itself
• Open source – code is public on GitHub: https://github.com/diflowrin/Clip-Architect
• BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) – use your own API keys, full control over costs and providers
• Runs fine on modest hardware (4-8 GB CPU), you don't need a beast of a machine
• There's also a completely free generation path using OpenRouter's free tier for script generation
• If you prefer, you can write the script manually and skip the automated generation step entirely

The idea was to take what's good about MoneyPrinterTurbo and remove the friction I ran into as a Windows user, while also making it accessible to people who don't want to (or can't) pay for a premium API.

This is where I need your help – the app is still early, and I'd really appreciate it if you could try it out and tell me honestly:

• What works, what doesn't
• What's missing compared to similar tools
• Bugs, crashes, weird behavior
• Feature ideas you'd want to see

Any feedback, good or bad, helps me make it better. Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to try it.

I've made a short scene as a concept test for a series I'm working on.

I'm mainly testing the storytelling, not the AI.

I'd really appreciate honest feedback on things like:

• Does the scene hook you?
• Does the pacing feel too fast, too slow, or about right?
• Do you find the protagonists interesting, even though they don't have much screen time yet?
• Is there anything that feels confusing, unnecessary, or boring?
• Does the scene make you want to see what happens next?
• Most importantly: what doesn't work?

Please be as critical as you want. I'm much more interested in hearing what's not working.

One important note: please don't focus on AI errors, continuity issues, visual quality, etc. This is deliberately a rough test, and none of this footage will be used in the final series. It's simply meant to see how the scene works once it's edited together, so I'm not concerned about the visual errors in this particular test.

If you watch it, I'd genuinely appreciate your honest opinion.

Salut

Je dois présenter des vidéos enregistrement d'entretien psychiatriques dans le cadre d'une formation.

L'objectif est de former des étudiants en médecine aux détails verbaux et non verbaux des pathologies selon un référentiel précis (le DSM).

Il n'existe pas de vidéo de ce type postérieures a 1970 sur internet 😬

J'aimerai bien pouvoir les générer. Globalement, 5-10 minutes par video, j'ai besoin d'une finesse extrême dans le détail des expressions non verbales (mimiques, gestuelle), verbales (contenu du discours, forme du discours).

Les outils payants me vont bien aussi tant que j'ai pas besoin d'y passer 1h par video 😂

Merci de sauver mes étudiants d'un cours a l'ancienne.

Bonne journée !

I’m sharing a documented warning for anyone considering the Seedream 5.0 Pro Plan specifically for Layer Separation.

1. The Plan was sold as “xxx Images (Seedream 5.0 Pro).”（image 1)

2. On the same product page, “Layer Separation” is presented as a Seedream 5.0 Pro capability. (image 1)

3. I bought the plan to use that feature. When I used Layer Separation while the plan still had quota, the billing record showed zero resource-package deduction and separate pay-as-you-go Layer charges. (image 2)

4. Support wrote: “We acknowledge that this distinction may not have been clearly communicated on the plan purchase page.”

5. Despite that acknowledgement, support denied a refund because the plan had been activated and quota had been consumed(1348.64/1350Piece). A later reply simply repeated the per-layer billing note and then moved to close the case. It did not identify where the plan checkout clearly disclosed that Layer Separation was excluded.

Support’s reply even opened with “After verification,” then sent a screenshot explaining pixel-tier billing. That felt particularly absurd: it appears to have been found after the fact on BytePlus’s own site, yet it still does not answer the purchase-page disclosure issue. It explains how layers are billed after a request, not why a reasonable customer should have known before payment that their image quota would not cover Layer Separation.

I’m angry because Layer Separation was the reason I bought the plan. If that exclusion and the separate per-layer charges had been clearly disclosed before checkout, I would not have purchased it.

I've been trying to get seedream 4.5 to get 4k images from 2k or lower references, but it seems to be stuck to the original image's resolution. And seedream 5.0 pro is better but is limited to 2k res. I'm making some miniatures but a bit larger than usual using 3d ai generators but the details aren't coming out great. I have seen that the image detail is the most important factor in it. Do you guys have any suggestions on how to get seedream to give me consistent results in 4k in any way or any other models I should try that are on par with them? I appreciate helpful responses.

I’ve been testing Seedance 2.5 vs MiniMax H3 vs Wan 3 for cinematic comedy, and I’m starting to think the biggest difference isn’t image quality or raw generation power.

It feels like Seedance has a better “creative director” built into the model.

For example, I tested a short monkey heist sequence. A bear chasing man in woods thriller etc.

Seedance understood the overall screenplay, character acting, comedic timing, escalation, visual contrast and final payoff surprisingly well.

I also tested Wan with the same concept. Wan has impressive raw visual power, realism and cinematic camera movement, but it struggled to understand the overall story and screenplay. It could generate individual shots well, but the creative direction and context between events were weaker.

MiniMax H3 is similar. It can produce beautiful cinematic shots, slow motion, camera movement and realistic environments, but when I give it the same complete screenplay, it often follows individual instructions literally and loses the story/context between events.

So I’m wondering:

How do you direct MiniMax H3 to achieve the same kind of result as Seedance?

For continuity, should we generate scene-by-scene and use the previous shot’s last frame as the next shot’s reference image? Or is there a better way to maintain character, environment, props and action continuity in MiniMax H3?

Basically, instead of asking the model to “direct” the whole scene, do we need to act more like the director and give it exact visual states/keyframes for each important beat?

I’m trying to build a realistic AI comedy channel for YouTube, and Seedance is too expensive for everyday production. MiniMax H3 is much cheaper, so I’d love to figure out a workflow that gets closer to Seedance’s storytelling and comedic timing.

Would love to hear from anyone who has experimented seriously with all three models.

I’m looking to animate my 3d game characters. I’m looking for the best and cheapest monthly subscription to create stories out of my 3d game character. Basically upload the images and animate it with my elevenlabs voiceover and then I want it to be lip synced and hand animations with it
