Transcript:
want to understand what do you do.
What do I do?
Yes.
well, at the moment, I am creating a whole lot of videos based on on African mythology. for a group group in South Africa,
Okay.
you know, who wanted to Create some lodges with some themed rooms etc. Etc. So they need about 20 videos.
Okay.
Through okay.
for a while?
No, no. I I just thought that. About a year ago.
Okay, and Blake all this while what tools were you using to create these videos?
well, I use put I started with open shot and then now I'm using, Caden live and shortcuts and a few different ones.
Okay. So so you do have a familiar idea of your video creation tools that you I mean you have a plethora of there.
Of course, yes.
Yeah.
Yes yes.
Good. So so Then my next question is, how did you probably stumble upon in video? Yeah.
Well, I have been using AI for quite some time now, you know, and I want When I saw that, it was converting text into video. I thought. Okay, fine. Let me give it a try. but then, what I see is that you use istock Video clips and I stop images. Which of course limits it. To what you can find or what you have in stock. I guess, you know because I mean the things that I am working with you probably don't have install Ed and also all these village. See when I'm working with African mythology, I don't want to see some Africans drumming around in front of tourists. So some masks being sold, you know, it's it's not exactly what I need. so, but I like the voice, the one voice that you had. and the fact that I can, Start off on the script that I want that, I can enter a script into there and so that it uses the script. And then I can just go in and upload my my images and change the images, even if they are not, they're not video clips but they're the images that I need to use. So it makes it much easier, you know,
Yeah.
then recreating the whole thing and putting the voice and blah blah. So yeah, so I mean there's a few
but,
glitches. I would prefer some more More relevant music and I don't know how many people you've got working on this thing. But, you know, if you have the option, Where it says, you know, give me a command to edit the video for example. Then you know, I presume there's somebody sitting there, especially if you say, you know, change the music. If I ask can like I give an I give you an example. I ask it to change to imbita music. Now, I'm Bira music. You can it's very simple. You got soundcloud and you download it in virus and bira. Track in, you know, takes me two minutes to do that or one minute to do that. but then, when I ask for him beer, I
Okay.
get somebody putting in house music, you know. So whoever's behind whoever's got no idea what they're doing. Or they haven't even bothered to look. What is in bira music. so, I mean, if you have working
Good.
some at least be honest about it and say or type okay I can't do it, you know, don't give me some house music from wherever I mean, for me, then I go back to my my software and I and I put the music in myself, you know, or I go into on to audacity or something and take away your music and put mine. but I want to use yours because it makes my life much easier, and I can instead of producing one video,
Or Gilbert you've, you've completely gone in audio and in video. Gilbert you there. Gilbert. We can't seem to hear or see you. Hey, Google. What We can see you don't think it can hear, you know. Yeah, again, I can't hear you. But you want to switch to the other browsers, something that you were using.
You hear me now?
yes, can you
Hello.
Yeah. Yeah, I can. Yeah you can you hear me?
Okay. Yeah, I got you for a loud and clear.
Got it. So Gilbert where you based out of
I'm in Mauritius.
Oh wow. Nice. I think that makes sense like that. You're working with the African community and things like that.
Yeah. And yourself. Where are you in? Australia? Or
It's none of your based out of Mumbai India.
Okay.
Yeah, so Gilbert you were you were mentioning that music was a big problem for you. Boys, anything else. Troubling you
well, when I first started with your platform, and I tried to,
To firstly, how did you, how did you get to know about in Video AI?
I can't remember some social media somewhere. and then but then when I, when I
Okay.
logged in and paid my subscription for that, whatever, whatever it was, And the next day I saw that I had been logged out and that I no longer had any subscription. So I went on the chat.
Okay.
I went on the chat with somebody and they told me or not, that this was not in video. AI, It was in video IO, was I thought
Products.
It was in video Io, was I thought to myself? Now, come on this, another scam
Huh.
right center. So, so, that's why I thought was
Oh good.
When you came back, I thought. Okay, cool. Let me talk directly to you.
Okay.
Because there's definitely a lot of scammers as I freelance a lot. There's a lot of people trying to scam, I do a lot of Swedish translations and Yeah, I don't know. You know, whatever's happening. Whatever happens happens sir, but I'm glad you you contacted me directly. Thank you very much. That was very useful.
Look problemero. So we have two products. One is in video IO, and one is in video AI. So the in video IO is a timeline based editor which is slightly traditional and you can use templates on that tool and they work quite well. The AI bit is you just type in a
Up.
prompt and you can get out your entire video.
Okay.
so, I think the one that you're using and the one that you spoke about your feedback was predominantly in video, AI only, But I think by mistake, you probably
Yeah.
paid for the video IO.
Oh yeah. Okay. Maybe I don't know.
I don't know. I mean maybe I mean that is
No, I paid for the video, the text to video because the subscription link
Okay.
was on that site. Otherwise I would have linked from
Okay.
the other side, you know?
Got it. So then technically you should be on in video AI only if I may know how many dollars did you pay? It'll give me a rough idea?
Let me I got the invoice here. I think.
Gilbert that is sorted, right? Like the first time when this problem happened, you got a refund and you actually bought the other subscription if I'm correct.
Oh, this was $20 or 25 dollars, something like that.
Oh yeah, then you're on the Nvidia AI, for sure.
The invoice is on my other. On my other laptop, but I think 20 or
Yeah, no worries. No worries on that.
25 dollars because I remember I sent you guys a copy of it on the chat.
Mmm.
So then then from what we God it go to. understanding, this is the Nvidia AI or to learn that you've subscribed to and the feedback that you're giving as a spray predominantly that
Okay, okay.
got it. Uh sure. Yeah. Coming back to you, you figured out our tool from some social media platform. That is what you got it. But you also mentioned that two things actually that you're familiar with EI. So I just wanted to understand what all AI tools are you playing around with?
I use stable diffusion a lot and chat GPT of course. And then yeah. One or two others. A micro.
Social just Judy.
I use some voice booms and I try to, I mean, from
What voice tools do you use?
Sorry.
What voice tools do you use?
There's hundreds of them out there, you know.
no, but the one that you use in particular,
The one that I use in particular that I find best, it's actually an app.
Okay.
What's it called God? Where is it? I think it's called voice search or something like that. It has the best voices but then what I have to do is I have to download it to my phone and then upload it to my Whatever. But actually, what I'm doing is I'm tip just changing it. I'm putting it into audacity and changing the tones on it you know, so that I can
Got it. So do you? Are you from a British background? Is your background?
me.
Yeah.
Oh no, I don't know if it mixed, you know, my, my parents originally from Mauritius but I'm I'm born in Zimbabwe. I grew up in Zimbabwe with Yeah, British schooling.
Okay. yeah, because you do have sort of like a British accent also,
Okay.
Yeah. So yeah. So the and what what do you stable? Diffusion for, is something that I was just curious to know.
What do I use?
you mentioned that you use stable, diffusion,
Yeah. I use it for images.
yeah, so just uses for
generate images.
Okay, okay.
And then to manipulate different images.
Got it. And also you mentioned that since you don't like the music or not old, you take it to the tool on your computer and you you change it or you tweak it just curious. What tool are you using on your computer?
Audacity.
Audacity is what you use. Okay, got it.
But not only audacity but there's a few I mean as long as you can see with your video the different wavelengths, you know, so that you can adjust the text evening.
But I think, what's up has a question here?
Hey, hi Gilbert. Thank you so much for your insides. I just wanted to know one thing, one thing. So basically what I understand and please, please rectify me if I'm saying something wrong you, basically, you yourself is not a Creator. You make videos like Free lunch. You are a freelance video artist. You are right now working with a community who are Who are making content around African culture and some specifics of it, correct?
Exactly. Yes.
Okay, perfect. So what I can, I can safely assume that your Need to keep changing right today. You are making something for Africans tomorrow. Maybe you will be making something for Germans just saying. Like because it's it's sort of like you, Your need depends upon the kind of work you are doing.
Sorry, you got to talk slowly, man.
That right.
Your accent is very strong. I need I just can you repeat
so I I reiterate what it's up to say,
Yeah.
So basically, what uterus trying to understand is like today, you're working on making videos for the asset for African community and making, but you also mentioned that you make videos for people in Sweden or Switzerland, if I'm not mistaken. So you want to understand whether you need keeps changing like you, you work on content for different with different requirements.
Yeah, well I work on. Yeah. I mean I speak five languages so I work with different languages. I'm work.
Good.
Mainly a Swedish English and French. Is what I'm working on.
It makes it.
But then I do sometimes in Portuguese and whatever but yeah mainly Swedish
so like right now it is it is content for for the African community but like maybe the another time it would be
Yeah. It's for tourism. The tourism thing where they are trying to attract American Africans, to come to South Africa. To do to. Yeah. And they use mythology and
Make sense.
as a way of Attracting that they are the
I understood.
tourists.
Maintenance makes sense. I'm so sorry for speaking so fast. I
Nobody.
So so Gilbert. What I where I was actually moving towards. Is that you you gave us an example where you feel some problem with music. Is there any for any other project?
Yeah.
Is there any other such incidences happens with happened with you where you found, you know, sort of other problems just to understand like
Yes.
because
Yes. Also
Yeah. So if yeah, yeah.
Carry on carry on.
no, so if you can, if you can
Sorry.
actually highlight those points, then it will be helpful for us.
Yes.
Yeah,
Okay. When? Sometimes I go inside and I edit the text. All right.
correct.
Now we're not edit the text suddenly, it gets re-edited to something else again, I don't know if that's a glitch in your software or a glitch in your person where, you know but
Also Gilbert, When you say, edit text, you mean the voiceover script or the text on the screen?
The voiceover script. I don't know. I haven't yet.
Okay.
edit the text on the screen. I guess I will discover it soon. No, the voiceover script. Because sometimes the voiceover
Got it, got it.
script does not pronounce the words that I want exactly as it pronounces. So, I need to change the The linguistics of the word, you know? So if I want an R,
Understood.
I use an 88H instead of just an A, all right, but then suddenly sometimes it changes from A to u without me, putting it in there. You know, I mean, my you is not next to my age on my keyboard, so, But it's not big thing, you know.
so,
It's and then also, As I am. Because I am not using your Videos, and I'm putting my My images inside there. I don't see any reason why. The length of the video should. Change. It should remain exactly the same because especially my image, my if I was giving you a clip that was longer, I would understand but sometimes, but as I'm only putting images in there, sometimes, as I'm doing changes the images, the length of the video starts to fluctuate us to And then it becomes difficult for me because I I have to have coherence between the image and the voice.
The video. Yeah.
Got it.
Yeah, make sense. Makes sense makes sense so Gilbert. What would be the very next tool you would move to? Like, I think you have a very strong AI use case Right, like, for scripting purposes
Next true.
and yeah.
I really don't know, you know? I mean,
Okay, okay.
At the moment. I'm I'm sort of just starting up with this project and it's I'm very excited with that. I like it. I enjoy it very much. so, Yeah. I don't know, there's so many tools out there, there's so many and then to find tools that are worth paying. What you would they are charging for you know I mean I find your tool. It's it's okay. It's it's an average price but some of the tools they want you know, fifty dollars. A hundred dollars or whatever even more per month. And then when you get on there, you get some sort of You know, it's some b******* that
He?
they They're giving you some comic book way you can put in some animals that dance on the screen you know? And that's that's not fair. I think it's If you keep it in a fair in a fair price range, then you can attract the customers more.
One. Last question Gilbert. Sorry. Have I cut you? Like you are saying something you can
No, no.
carry on if Yeah yeah. So one last question Gilbert what exactly like if you if you like get in in video you will resubscribe in video AI. Like is there anything specific that is in your mind that forced you to actually Stop your subscription like you found like what?
But I didn't stop my subscription. I don't understand what happened there, that maybe I don't understand why it stopped because I only just opened
oh,
Okay.
Okay. Okay, we were We were actually under the assumption that
Yeah, river and assumption that you've clicked on cancel.
No, no, I haven't canceled either, but but I mean hey I'm you still.
He?
still offered me 25 dollars an egg?
Yeah, so that that I will be giving
Yeah, of course, of course we will.
you that's not a problem.
Oh, no.
We will. Of course we will.
You know I mean I don't know where you've got that idea from. I'm still I still want to use it.
I will we will, we will
It's
okay, then
check this and solve this for you.
Yeah.
No, no. It's a very useful tool. And and once I start because at the moment, I cannot publicize any of the videos I'm using because they belong to the client. But when I make any videos with your software that I put on, if I put on YouTube or somewhere, I will definitely put a bit there. Thank you to in video for the whatever, whatever. so,
That that is that is so kind of you Gilbert. Like thank you so much for that. I think I think I don't have any more questions cook.
No, no.
on if you want to Perfect. Perfect Gilbert. You will get your $24.
Good.
Don't worry about that.
Yeah. I don't.
account is reinstated like I will, I'll let the team like account management team know this. So that in case there is a requirement, they will reach out to you and do whatever this needful.
