0:00So for footage, we have the LYRC stock library, Pexel stock library, extracting clips from YouTube videos, uploading your own, or you can generate with AI. So there's usually four different types of AI video that you can generate. One is just text to video.
0:15So there's no visual reference. You're kind of, you don't really know what it's going to look like. You have image to video, which is going to use the image as a start frame and generate motion from that existing frame.
0:27You can use reference, which for this specific model, one to six images, and the AI model will kind of try to interpolate and figure out what you're trying to do through the text prompt and the images. You'll have a lot more control over the output.
0:42And then you can also do video to video. So say I want to take a video of me lip syncing my song and then I snap my fingers and boom, I catch fire. Well, I can do that, right?
0:50I take the video of me lip syncing the song. I upload the video that I want to transform and I just say, I want a light on fire when I snap my fingers and it's going to do it.
0:59The problem with these is that a lot of them are very expensive and there's just nothing we can really do about that. That's just the price of AI video at the moment. So that's why there's, I think, 14 different models
1:11that you can choose from. Seedance 2 Mini is pretty affordable. You can do a 15 second clip for 45. You'll always see how much, how many credits it's going to cost for your generation.
1:21The resolution will impact that, right? But the aspect ratio never will. And honestly, I would just recommend sticking to these two because it's a lot easier for the shuffle. But remember, it won't be included in a shuffle unless it's eight seconds or under.
1:37But usually if you're making an AI video generation, you're probably going to use it in a free form project rather than a beat sync. So I'll show you what I mean. I'm going to use Seedance 2.5 because it is the best available model right now.
1:51And you'll notice that I have references, right? These are literally just a single selfie. So these are only available for reference to video. You know, otherwise, if it was image to video, I'd literally just use your selfie and you wouldn't get any variation.
2:06But if you use it as reference, then you just say, hey, this character, it's this character that I want in the video doing X, Y, and Z. So you can have multiple references. You can save that in your profile settings.
2:17You know, you can manage these guys. All right, so I'll just generate a quick AI video with me as the reference. I'll say, Loya catches on fire. I think handheld camera shake for realism is a great thing to throw in your prompts.
2:31And we're just going to see how that looks. So the duration is usually is what's going to impact the amount of credits that you're going to use the most. We'll do like a six second clip. Yeah, 916 is good.
2:43We'll generate that. So once you click generate, you'll see it generating here. Now, sometimes with these AI models, it's a little sketchy about like using people or sometimes it'll just for some reason, whatever, you know, fail. Like this says Tony Montana and Scarface
2:58obviously didn't want to use like IP, so it didn't work. But you will always, always be refunded those credits if a generation fails. So you never have to worry about that. While this is generating, we can head over to the B-roll page.
3:12So B-roll is literally just like a collection of short shots from the same scene. This is a little more hands-off, right? So whatever you type in here is going to be optimized by LYRC, except instead of one clip,
3:26you get a bunch of little clips and it kind of just does the shots for you. So you don't have to say, oh, I want to prompt them to be holding a glass. It's really smart. I promise you.
3:35So just go and type anything. It'll come out pretty cool. If I have Loya in a mansion, a futuristic mansion or a penthouse, I guess. Luxury, vibes, you know, it's going to do a lot of short shots based on your single prompt.
3:51Here you can adjust how many clips you actually want. This is an estimate as well. Sometimes it'll be more, sometimes it'll be less. And that's just due to the mechanics of splitting the clips up.
4:01So there's not really much we can do about that. So here you can describe the time of day. Usually just leave it on auto. Describe the environment, what clothes you want them to be wearing.
4:10I always leave handheld shake on. You can either do the standard quality or the fast quality. If you're making a love song, right? You might want to have a girl in there.
4:19So you can just do stuff like that. Like that's pretty insane, bro. Like that's pretty insane. If you want to use these clips in a project, what you would do is just go here.
4:29Maybe I want to do this, this, this, and this. And then I'll create the project. It's going to use all four of those instead of just the one. You also don't have to create the project from the B-roll page.
4:48Everyone has this AI generated folder. You can see all the generations that you've had. And you know, if I want to do in the studio at a whatever, I can't really see the name, but you can shuffle them.
4:59These are all going to be 16.9 too is the thing. So I would usually just fit them instead of fill. But obviously you're going to want to hit all fit. Like that's pretty sick.
5:12So if I go back to the AI video, sometimes you just need to refresh it. Oh, I didn't need to in that case, but there it is. So say I wanted to create a project with that clip. I would find the template that I want to use.
5:24I'd create a new video and I would go freeform because I want more control. And then I would just drag that into the timeline. And then, you know, I can put it wherever I want. She never gave me a warning.
5:36A few things about the freeform editor is that you can split clips by clicking split or you can select it and control B on the keyboard will also split them. You can move them around however you want. You can bring that over.
5:52So you can bring it in again, put it over here, you know, split it here. If you want to move the clip, you can do that pretty easily. If you'll notice on the timeline, you can see where the clip was
6:04and obviously where it's going to. Grab another clip, bring it in here and just have full control over my video. However, I want it to be, you know, I'm not really looking for a quick video for socials. I kind of just want to really curate this
6:20as much as possible. So that's how the freeform editor works.
