How to Create the Viral Sand AI Video (Google VEO 3 Prompt Included)...

💧Just add one drop of VEO 3 inspiration!

I took a break from my usual content today to solve a mystery that’s been filling my feed.

I kept seeing these incredible AI videos of a world growing out of sand, but no one was sharing the magic ingredient: the prompt.

I was curious to see if I could recreate it myself using Google VEO 3.

It took a few tries to get the wording right, and wasted some AI credits, but I finally cracked it.

The prompt is surprisingly detailed. The main challenge was getting the text on the sign to render correctly, but the overall result is fantastic.

For anyone else who wants to experiment, here is the prompt:

Prompt: A top-down shot of a white dish filled with dry, light-colored sand. A clear pipette slowly drips blue liquid into the center of the sand, and as the liquid spreads, a miniature Minecraft landscape with trees, cows, a pond, and a tiny signboard printed "Adrian Video Image" rapidly grows out of the sand. Use soft, even lighting and a macro lens to capture the details of the sand and the emerging landscape.

It's a powerful reminder that the real skill in AI is knowing how to communicate your creative vision.

If you're interested in learning more about this stuff, I'm compiling my notes into a free AI Video & CapCut Guide.

Want a copy? Just comment AI and I'll send it over.

Macbook Air M1 Case

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

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...

Sony Vegas Pro 8 Tutorial - Multicamera Editing

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...
