Generated a new video, "Neon Nocturne". It took approx. 2 hours in total, here's the workflow I used. ► 📸📖 smartai.studio - downloaded several hacker related images using smartai.studio search function (smartai.studio/search) using the search term 'hacker', also used the studio 'story' feature to generate a character backstory from one of the images. Downloaded the image and copied the text of the story. ► 🎶 stableaudio.com - Used portions of the story and image description of the downloaded image (from smartai.studio) as the input prompt to generate background music from Stability AI stableaudio portal. Downloaded the generated music audio file. ► 🎤 elevenlabs.io - Synthesized speech, using parts of the story generated in the first step, as the input text. Downloaded the generated speech audio file from ElevenLabs ► 📽 runwayml.com - Using the 'Gen3 ALPHA' feature of the Runway video generator. Generated 4 videos using similar but slightly different prompts, for the dynamic portions of the final composite video. These were text only prompts (no input image). ► 📽 🎞 clipchamp.com - Using Microsoft Clipchamp video editing software, I added the media I generated in the prior steps, including the videos, speech audio track and the music audio track, lined it all up on the stage, added transitions, a couple of effects. Generated the final video. #AI #tools #image #stockimage #media #genai #audio #video #workflow

Happy New Year! As we step into a fresh year, it's a great time to reflect on the journey of SmartAI Systems in 2023 and the milestones we've achieved during our First Year of operations. 🚀 Our Software Development Maturity Process: We've embraced a concept heavy approach to guide our project milestones, spanning both our Platform and Solution domains: ✚ Ideation Phase: We kick things off with the evaluation and scoring of innovative concepts, we primarily use MIRO for ideation, capturing ideas during our crazy eight and concept sessions and PowerPoint to generate a pitch-deck for the concept. ✚ Concept Phase: We launch proof of concepts for the most promising candidates, this may include initial sketching, low fidelity designs and coding ✚ Pre-Alpha Phase: Promising prototypes are promoted to active projects, typically assigned a designer or two and DEV resources ✚ Alpha Phase: Our production journey begins here, with a 'Minimum Viable Product' (MVP), typically utilizing a full design and development effort and available for free subscribers. ✚ Beta Phase: Once we iterate on feedback, we'll introduce additional features and add a paid subscription model along with the existing free subs. ✚ Full Release Phase: Culminating in the launch of our full-feature set solutions. 🌟 Year 1 Highlights at SmartAI Systems: ◆ Assembled a talented stable of UI/UX designers and Software Developers, strengthening our core capabilities. ◆ Officially launched our company with a clear charter, roadmap, and the architecture of our innovative platform. ◆ Proudly unveiled the Alpha version of our flagship Generative AI Platform (SSGP). ◆ Launched our company website - smartai.systems ◆ Launched the Alpha of our stock images solution, marking a significant milestone in our journey - smartai.studio ◆ Introduced the Pre-Alpha of our AI-driven news platform concept, showcasing our commitment to continuous innovation. - smartai.news ◆ Active DEV of our SmartAI Inspire solution ◆ Active Ideation of 3-4 additional concepts ◆ Activated our charter, mentoring and upskilling aspiring young designers and developers The next post will cover our Year Two plans and roadmap. #generativeai #ai #platform #startup #solutions #software #design #charter
