#Gemini #NanoBanana does an excellent job extending images. Doing so creates more room for creativity —these extended versions allow for more design options. I used to have to work 100 times harder to manually expand images. I don't miss those days. Thanks, #GenAI! :)

I tried this new voice cloning, TTS tool to create a multi-speaker podcast audio for one of the online courses. I normally use #Elevenlabs, but this new open source tool #VibeVoice is surprisingly good. I now use it as part of my regular production workflows. :)

I've just saved a lot of time using AI again. My ordinary method takes at least 10-20 minutes to do it. But with this method it only took a few seconds! Anyone who doesn't use AI is in huge disadvantage. #gemini #ai #transcribe

I really like a 3-monitor setup. It makes my work a lot easier. :)

I've been having the issue with choppy audio from my Bluetooth headphone on my desktop computer after the two recent updates from Realtek Semiconductor Corp. Luckily, the update installed today fixed it. Glad it happened before my next virtual meeting. :) #realtek #bluetooth

The Adobe Enhance Speech tool has been around for a while. I think it's worth sharing. Free users get decent usage limits — process audio up to 1 hour long /day, 30 min long & 500MB /audio file. I get much higher limits with Adobe CC subscription. #adobepodcast #enhancespeech

#VEO3 video generation model now supports text-to-speech and lip sync using generic voices. For my #talkingavatar videos, I needed my own voice, so I used the #Elevenlabs #voicechanger to change the voice to my own. This is a pretty clean and seamless process. I like it!

VEO 3 now supports text-to-speech lip syncing. AI technologies are getting better and better. Because of that, creating full-body moving talking avatar videos (one of my projects this past year) is getting easier and more accessible to anyone every day. #veo3 #googleflow #lipsync

Thanks for the repost ☺️

I'm presenting at #INSTCon25 in Spokane, WA next week! Watch the video below for a quick look at my topic. If you are going to be there, I hope to see you there. :)

AI does this kind of tasks so nicely. In the past I had to write a computer program or a complex macro to automate a task like this. Now, anybody can do it really easily. :) BTW, I used Google's #Gemini to do it.

#hunyuanvideoavatar came out just a few days ago. This is my new go-to open source tool for creating talking MOVING avatars. New tools're coming out literally EVERY DAY. My next conference presentation (#INSTCon25) is in July. I need to add this to my toolkit I'm providing there.

I came across this open source tool called #Sonic designed for generating a talking picture video from an audio file and a static picture. It doesn't add much body and hand movements like Fantasy Talking does, but this is going to be my reliable backup tool.

Compare the two banner images. A simple image (left) was transformed into a creative animation (right) in a matter of minutes by taking advantage of GenAI technologies (video generation, generative fill). :) #genai #generativefill #googleaistudio #veo2 #photoshop

This time, I used Google AI Studio. I'm very impressed by the video it generated. On my first attempt, this is already usable. It really created a unique video not like a stock video, adhering to my prompt. Google AI Studio is my choice now. #googleaistudio #veo2

I used the Gemini Advanced platform to create some videos. There's a usage limit, allowing 5 video generations every three hours on this platform. I'll try Google AI Studio next and see if it does it better. :) #geminiadvanced #veo2

I've just set up this #Gemini #gem (a custom chatbot) to speed up my online course review process. It does all the time-consuming cross-referencing between the review details and course elements. I could be spending a whole day without this. This is a game changer! :)

I applied for this GenAI creative community program. #openart is a really cool platform. I tested it last month. If I get in the program, this platform is going to help me with my work a lot, being innovative and pushing boundaries of media design. 🙂 https://t.co/rOWEomoEoR

#hailuoai gives out 1,000 free credits upon signing up, but they're only good for the next 3 days. I better find good use for this tool before these credits expire. :) #genai #generativeai

I'll be sharing my workflow, toolkit, and preliminary findings on its impact on students engagement and learning at Teaching and Learning with AI, 2025. Please checkout the details of my talk at: https://t.co/Zqp7Nr1NyB #GenAI #talkingavatar #learnerengagement
