All right.
Today we're going to learn how to use Vo3 in flow.
Flow is a Google product and you get it with one of the AI subscriptions.
The $20 a month one present, or there's a $200 a month, one where you get a lot more credits.
It's the cheapest way to use Vo.
I think it's actually cheaper than the API subsidized, or at least right now.
This changes all the time.
The way that you do it is you create a new project.
You can start with the starter projects, which are ones that experts have have worked on.
Or you can create your own project as well.
So I recommend checking out some of these.
But we're going to create our own project just so we can see what it looks like.
There are a few different models available.
You have Vo three fast, Vo two fast via three quality and Vo two quality.
The differences between these is Vo three is the newest model.
Vo three quality is the best model.
It also does audio, so it doesn't just generate the video, you can also hear it.
Vo two is the previous generation and it's not as good in terms of quality, but still pretty good.
Vo three fast is lower quality, but much faster as the name implies.
And what I tend to do is I'll use that one first for most things until I figure it out.
And that way you're using fewer credits.
So you can see here each generation uses 20 credits based on your current settings, whereas if you
use VA three quality, it uses 100 credits.
The other thing you can do is you can generate more than one video at a time.
That could be quite useful if you're just exploring space and kind of want to understand how well the
prompt works.
So we're going to copy in a prompt here.
Let me just say copy this paste this in.
We want to describe what's happening in the video.
Quite often you want to give examples of what the camera is doing.
You want to explain the environment, you want to explain who's who's the character.
Like what's the subject of the video and you want to describe the dialogue as well.
This is one of the really cool things about video three.
You can just tell it like what you want the person to say and what sounds you want to hear in the background.
So I'm just going to paste that in and then submit that and it starts running the prompts.
It takes just like a few seconds really to generate, especially with the fast.
It can take over a minute in some cases with the the quality model.
And while that's generating, we can just talk about a few of the other options you have.
So we have text to video and we also have frames to video.
So if you wanted to start with an image or end with a specific image, you can do that.
And ingredients to video is a relatively new one where you can put a few different objects and like
maybe a background and then say, this person is going to be using this object to do X.
In this background.
We'll cover all of these in different videos, and some of them work with V3.
Some of them still only work V2, but that changes all the time.
So this is just taking a little bit longer.
Hopefully it'll be done soon.
Okay, we have the video and we can hit play.
The video worked.
I said our AI platform reduces cost by 40%.
We could make changes to this prompt.
Say maybe we wanted to say what type of company logo is in the background.
You can also download as an animated GIF, like if you're using this as a meme or the original size,
and then you can also upscale it as well.
The other thing you can do is you can add to a scene.
So if you switch to the scene builder, now you have this guy and you can either jump to or extend.
So in this case, I say jump to let's say the audience is applauding maniacally.
Is that wrong?
Cool.
That's not available in V3 fast.
So let's go here to using less credits.
Oh, here we go.
Actually we need to use V3 quality.
And what this is doing is it's going to understand what previously happened in that past video.
And then it's going to cut to something else happening.
Now these are eight second cuts.
One of the things you might want to do is kind of describe multiple cuts in the video.
If you want faster editing style, or you could do an extend scene in that scenario you would click
plus.
Then you click extend and it would take the final frame of the last of the last video and then keep
going from there.
That's how you stitch everything together into a full video.
And that's just going to take a few more minutes to run.
Okay.
We have the full thing.
Now let's play.
Okay.
We could make some changes to that.
But you see that it was aware of what happened in the previous scene.
And there's a little bit janky.
So typically I would say Vo three is great at getting specific clips.
It's like the early days of image generation where there's still some artifacts or issues or a strange
behavior, but you could tidy those up in a video editor.
Usually it can't get everything perfect in one shot, but it is pretty amazing how useful this can be,
particularly if you don't have the the resources to go and shoot something like this yourself.
