🧠 My VEO 3 AI Video Creation Process: From Grok AI to Glitches

Checked my stats this morning and was happy to see my second double-downed Google VEO AI video is getting popular. Both of my successful VEO videos share the same line: "You think I am AI, is it?"

Decided to lean into it.



I asked Grok AI for a few humorous ideas along the same theme and picked my favorite. I then had Grok transform the idea into a detailed AI video prompt, but it was too long for VEO's 8-second limit. 


Here's my practical workflow:


- Manual Edit: I shortened the prompt storyline manually, and taking out specific camera instructions to let VEO decide on the best angles based on the story.

- Test to Save Credits: Before plugging it into VEO, I tested the visual part of the prompt on Gemini's AI image generator. This helps me iterate and refine the concept without wasting expensive AI video credits.

- Brand Sneak: As usual, I snuck my brand name in. It's a bit obvious this time, but I don't mind. 


The final video came out almost exactly as scripted, but with a few hilarious glitches. The side character tosses ice cream, and it falls right back into their hand. The mermaid body flips in a way that's totally unrealistic. And the seagulls, which were supposed to be screaming, are completely silent.


It kind of makes the line, "You think I am AI, is it?" even funnier. 


What do you think? It's a good reminder that even with detailed prompts, AI still has its own creative quirks.

Here's the prompt I ended up using:

"Imagine a Beach Mermaid Metamorphosis:

Setting: A vibrant, crowded beach at sunset with crashing waves, colorful umbrellas, and screaming seagulls.

Action: A sunbather lounging on a towel suddenly arches their back as their legs fuse into a shimmering, rainbow-scaled mermaid tail. Nearby swimmers scatter, gasping, as a lifeguard blows their whistle and shouts, “No one just becomes a mermaid!” The mermaid flips their tail dramatically, splashing water, and grins cheekily.

Dialogue: Mermaid says, “You think I am AI, is it?”

Visuals: Amplify the sparkling tail transformation and water effects, with the crowd’s comedic panic shown through exaggerated running and dropped ice cream cones.

Style: Photo-realistic"

Sony Vegas Pro 8 Tutorial - Multicamera Editing

Image
Sony Vegas Pro 8 makes it easier to edit videos from different cameras right from the timeline. You can capture and edit video for a single scene from 2 or more cameras or for a single scene shot a few times with one camera. Here is a tutorial of a Multicamera Edit of a drama I shot. The drama was acted out four times to the public and being a non-profit organization, the client have budget only for one videographer. For each of the 4 acts, the camcorder (Sony HDR-FX7 High Definition Camcorder) was placed at 4 different positions and shot in various angles. Multicamera edit is accomplished in only 8 steps with the Sony Vegas Pro 8. Step #1: Capture Multicamera Video Clips Use the normal Sony Vegas Video Capture function to capture recordings from each camera. Give each capture filename a unique name. Enable scene detection before capturing so that each segment is captured as a separate clip. Step #2 : Layout Video Clips on Timeline Drag and drop video clips over each other on the...

Macbook Air M1 Case

Image
I bought a transparent case for my MacBook Air M1 . It came with a free screen protector, a keyboard cover, and some rubber plugs to cover the ports. Check it out! https://youtu.be/d-wALSd3nn8 I didn't expect the rubber plugs. It was a nice surprise. The case fits snuggly, with access to all the ports. The keyboard cover is almost invisible to the eye. I have no intention to use the screen protector. Why? I need to see the true color of the display for my YouTube videos. ~ Adrian Lee  @Adrian Video Image  The video was recorded on iPhone 12 Pro Max with Filmic Pro app in 4K 60fps and edited with Capcut.

FCPX - The storage device "Macintosh HD" is almost full

Image
The message "The storage device Macintosh HD is almost full" appeared when I was editing a video with Final Cut Pro X on my new Apple Macbook Air M1.   Final Cut Pro Taking up Too Much Space  My Macbook Air M1 had only 256GB of storage onboard. My raw footage was only about 9GB. The biggest file was the FCPX project files itself at about 140GB! How did 9GB become 140GB? There is not enough disk space for my Final Cut Pro. Why Is Final Cut Pro Taking up So Much Storage Final Cut Pro renders files in high-quality media so that we can playback our edits smoothly direct from the timeline.  It creates multiple HUGE high-quality files of our footage in the background.   It is a good thing, so as to maintain high-quality final edited video, BUT not a good thing for a laptop with only 256GB. How to Clear Disk Space on Final Cut Pro The question is how to delete the rendered files in FCPX? 1. Select the library in FCPX...  2. Go to Files > Delete Generated L...
