Zoom call homework using AI to create

By
Real Estate Agent with Realty ONE Group Advocates 484-237-2055 PA License - AB067198

This week our Zoom call on Tuesday we were challenged by Debe Maxwell, CRS to create a video from a still image using AI. I chose this image of the American Flag flying at Valley Forge and wanted to get AI to make it wave. I put this into Grok originally, but it said it could not create a video. So, I went back to Chatgpt and they suggested various sites. I eventually ended up using DeeVid AI which created a 5 second clip of the flag fluttering in the wind.

Chat GPT then suggested some sites for music and the prompts to use to get what I wanted, some flute or fife and drums playing a Revolutionary tune. Again I ran into issues as many of the sites wanted me to sign up and pay a subscription which I am not willing to do until I know how it works.

So, I downloaded my video into Clipchamp and searched for music there. Again they wanted me to upgrade, but I eventually found this tune which was an intro piece for a longer segment.

It is not quite what I wanted, but I did it relatively quickly and did not want to waste an inordinate amount of time on this. Maybe I can get some animals talking to each other in another version. What do you think?

Maybe Ed Silva, 203-206-0754   will repost for his Friday flags.

Hello Nick, that’s a fantastic challenge from Debe Maxwell, and very clever work using DeeVid AI to make the American Flag at Valley Forge flutter! Your experience perfectly illustrates the current challenges with using AI for video creation and music licensing—specifically navigating sign-ups and paywalls. Creating that five-second clip, even with placeholder music from Clipchamp, is a great win for quick execution! Keep experimenting; the animals talking concept sounds like a fun next step for your Zoom call homework!

Nick, not sure if I ever would use anything like this, so didn't have time to attend today.  Looks like you got it.

Well done. Even more so, having not spent a lot of time on it Nick Vandekar, 610-203-4543 

ChatGPT added music without me asking for it. This week's homework was fun with very little frustration.  No hallucinations either!

Setting my YT video to private means it's private when I post.

Joan Cox there are so many fun things you could do for listings to draw attention to them and even use this in your Sunday Posts with your funnies!

Hi Nick- I like it. I'm still working on the video + music thing. I wasn't familiar with DeeVidAI so I'll check it out!!!

Wow, it sounds like it was quite a bit of work for you to make it happen, but you did a great job!  It's interesting that you said Grok didn't work.  I am not very familiar at all with AI, but I did try Grok Imagine in the past and it quickly and easily turned a photo into a video, haha.

Hannah Williams thank you.

Dennis Neal I have a photo to use and even know what I want them to say.

 Joan Cox   it worked, and was a bit of fun.

Kathleen Daniels, Probate & Trust Specialist I set it to public as I wasn't sure if it would give me an embed code if it was private. But private only people with the link can see it.

I tested that theory Nick Vandekar, 610-203-4543 and it does not work - the link alone still shows it as private.

Kathy Streib chatgpt suggested several sites

Patricia Feager maybe, it all takes time, you just have to use your imagination.

Nina Hollander, Broker the music was not really what I wanted, but was the best of the worst.

Kat Palmiotti I thought that was good.

Brian England supposedly it does, but not for me when I tried.

Nice job with the video Nick Vandekar, 610-203-4543  I tried several ways to load it and when I finally got it acceptable here, it monopolized the lower half of the blog. I posted it and before it could play it, the YouTube security wanted to make use I was a member, which I was otherwise I could not have gotten it to begin with.

Ed Silva, 203-206-0754 I thought of you as I was doing this, not sure what I was doing wrong with Grok, but later got Grok to work for me.

Hello Nick.  Good job with the waving flag from a still.  Even us old farts seem to be touching our toes to the 'AI waters'.   lol

George Souto the flag was challenging because for some reason I could not get Grok to cooperate.

Mark Don McInnes, Sandpoint-Idaho it is just experimenting and having fun with it.
