Vimeo completely messed it up

, , , 0

I mean, this is impressive. I have used Vimeo for years and guys, I was so happy to have full control of my embedded videos (not showing completely unrelated s*** like on YouTube) and this new feature for hybrid screen/face recording… I was more than keen to pay some 60€ a year to have this service.

But this time they just killed me!

So I started upgrading from Plus to Pro plan (200€ / year) as I wanted to transfer my whole video production to Vimeo… and then the nightmare started!

  1. No filters anymore. I just needed to change my footage into grayscale. Impossible!
  2. Sharing not working! As I’m using the record function (which is working fine, ouuhhh), I’m copying the link, and… the video cannot be viewed because it is not rated. Holy, not even an alert when I copied the sharing link that it is not working?
  3. Incomprehensive dashboard. As I did a bigger amount of records for testing my scene I wanted to clean up a little and delete some footage. OMG, this is the most unstructured way to present videos, why?
  4. UI is mixing up different systems. No comment, a real mess.

No guys, you lost me, I downgraded to Plus so I can migrate my file somewhere else… Maybe I need to check the settings of YouToube again and there is a way to prevent Google to push their content at the end of my embedded videos!

Thanks for reading and feel free to comment… Speak soon!!

Testing Design.ai for my video content

, , , , 0

OK folk, since we are in the AI funnel nowadays and we are unable to think of anything else (ouuuhh, we may miss something important!), so let’s dive into it!

The copy thing is all good, right? I mean everyone has tested Chat GPT or copy/translation tools that are based on its language model. It is working great and we all realized this tool is powerful, but has no human heart. Ouf! All good.

So I move ahead in my discovery with the video maker which is part of Design.ai and must say, I was impressed by its simplicity and how fast I could actually go. With not even an idea about the video I wanted to produce I made a full commercial video in one hour, here you go:

Yes, with stock footage, of cause, yes no transition animation and standard voiceover… but man, in one hour!

If I had some footage done on my own and a real concept here, this would have been just replacing the video agency I have been hiring for 4,5k€ for my last product video. So long story short, this AI-based video maker tool is delivering what it promised: easy and flexible video production in minutes!

Thanks for reading, speak soon!

Why AI is a game changer for marketers

, , , , , 0

When I first heard about chat GPT, I said to myself: yet another metaverse bubble, yet another crappy Microsoft product. I changed my mind quickly after it provided my in some seconds brilliant copy for the app landing page I was working on.

So why AI is a game changer for marketers? Because of speed! We can produce 100 times more content without doing the dirty hands job and focusing on our core: creation, understanding of target groups, and ensuring consistency of communications… we not only going faster but we are doing a better job!

Yes, there are jobs that will need to reinvent themselves! Yesterday I had been producing a small brand video in just 1 hour, with a full voiceover, music, intro + outro. I do not need to dive into this complicated video creation process that takes me days and weeks and where I cannot even change the voiceover because the speaker is not available anymore.

OK, you got me. I’m a fan of AI-based creation. I’m using designs.ai to make logos, copy, and videos. There are a lot of tools out there that are using open AI. I’m just using this one because it is working out for me.

But again, this is not a metaverse bubble, this is a revolution like the invention of the car has been a revolution and the plane. Because it is giving time a completely new scale and enables you to look much further.
