Would this After Effects workflow actually be useful, or is it just me?
I’ve been building an After Effects extension called AetherFlow, and I’m curious if this solves a problem other people actually have.
One of the newest workflows I added is something I’m calling Footage Sync.
The idea is simple:
An editor gives you a reference export and a source stringout with handles.
Instead of manually cutting up the stringout, matching timing, recreating split screens, scaling shots, and rebuilding the edit layer by layer in After Effects the extension analyzes the reference, cuts the source footage into individual layers, and reconstructs the edit as an editable After Effects composition.
The goal is to eliminate one of the most repetitive parts of conforming editor references for motion graphics.
I’m still actively developing it, so I’d really like some honest feedback.
Do you find yourself rebuilding editor references by hand?
If so:
Is this a workflow you’d actually use?
What kinds of edits would you expect it to handle?
What’s the most frustrating part of rebuilding someone else’s edit?
I’m not looking for compliments - I genuinely want to know if this is solving a real problem or if I’m optimizing for a workflow that’s unique to my experience.
I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Unlimited generations
Hi all, I'm looking for some provider that offers unlimited generations at a reasonable price anad good quality models.
Got this list from ChatGPT but most sites looks fishy:
| Seller / Route | Unlimited Offer | Price Signal | Link |
|---|---|---|---|
| Topview AI | Best current public “unlimited” lead. Ultra annual shows Seedance 2.0 720p: 30 days unlimited, Seedance 2.0 Mini 720p: 365 days unlimited, Seedance 2.0 Fast: 30 days unlimited. Lower priority relax queue. | Official: $150/mo billed annually. Supports CNY/Alipay. | Topview pricing |
| GGSEL Topview reseller | Resells/“upgrades” Topview Pro/Business/Ultra accounts. Lists unlimited relax generation features. | Starts around $38, varies by selected plan. Risky because it asks for account info. | GGSEL Topview listing |
| Loova | Unlimited Relax on selected models: Kling O1 Video/Edit, Kling Motion Control, Seedance 1.5 Pro, some image models. Current official page shows Seedance 2.0 as per-second, not clearly unlimited. | Pro $39.20/mo annual, Max $69.30/mo annual, Ultimate $137.40/mo annual. | Loova Seedance page |
| LitVideo / LitMedia | Pro annual says unlimited video generation on selected models: LitAI, Vidu 2.0, Wan 2.2, Seedance 1.0 Pro Fast. It unlocks Seedance/Kling/Veo/Wan/Hailuo/Vidu, but many are still credit-based. | Pro annual $33.33/mo. | LitVideo subscription |
| Higgsfield Seedance Unlimited | 30-day unlimited Enhanced Seedance 2.0 Fast, 480p/720p, standard queue, 1 concurrent generation. Not a Chinese reseller, but it is BytePlus/Seedance-related. | Price varies by account/checkout. | Higgsfield Seedance Unlimited |
| Vidu official | Chinese official platform advertises Off-Peak Mode / 错峰模式免费生成. This is not exactly unlimited, but close if you can run jobs during off-peak. | Pricing hidden behind dynamic page. | Vidu pricing CN |
| Ima Studio | Claims “Unlimited Seedance 2.0” and “Unlimited Seedance 2.5,” but I couldn’t verify public pricing/limits. Treat as a lead, not a confirmed buy. | Not clear publicly. | Ima Studio Seedance 2.0 |

I got 10M views in a month making AI microdramas
I got 10 million views in a month posting AI microdramas on Instagram Reels.
Here's what I did:
Most of AI video content on IG reels are one-offs. It pops, gets views, disappears, and you're back to zero. A show is different. People show up within 30 minutes of every post asking where the next episode is. They argue about the characters. One character I wrote as the villain got so popular that people begged me for weeks to bring her back, so I did, in another show, and she's still the most requested character on the account.
Every episode has three jobs.
Hook. The first five seconds stops the scroll. Nothing else. Get this wrong and nobody sees the rest.
Body. The plot moves fast. Every scene raises the stakes or twists them. The job is to make the next episode feel like a mandatory watch.
Cliffhanger. End on a question they need answered or an emotion they can't shake. This is what makes them follow you and come back tomorrow.
Then post every day. You watch three things: skip rate, retention (my best video run past 50 percent all the way through), and share rate. Then write the next episode directly towards whatever the audience reacted to. Read the comments and they tell you what they want.
The biggest unlock for me has been using an agentic studio for show creation. Consistency is one piece of it. Same characters, same locations, same props across all my episodes, because the second any of it drifts, the illusion breaks and people leave. But it goes way further than that. The agent helps structure the episode, tighten the dialogue, lock the styling. Designing the show and building the shots with an agent next to you instead of fighting the tools alone is a lifesaver.
Happy to answer any questions in the comments!
Edit: Getting a lot of questions asking for links to my accounts and what I use to make my videos
Here's a link to one of my accounts: Instagram Acct

Self-hostable AIGC video engine with a node-based infinite canvas — script → storyboard → voice → finished video (source available)
DramaClaw is an open, self-hostable AIGC video engine — you feed it a script and it runs the whole chain: character extraction, beat planning, storyboards + first frames, voice-over, and final assembly. It's built for short drama, but the same pipeline handles ads, product videos, and otome games. Disclosure: I'm one of the people building it.
Two things this community will probably care about most:
1. A node-based infinite canvas. On top of the linear pipeline there's a freeform canvas where you branch, compare, and explore — three storyboards for the same beat, a forked character look — then wire the winner into the next stage. If you live in ComfyUI-style graphs it'll feel familiar, except the nodes are story beats, characters, shots, and scenes instead of samplers. The pipeline gives you a reproducible main line; the canvas gives you room to actually play.
2. Consistency, which is where most AI video falls apart. Character identity is carried forward through locked reference assets in a library, not prompt re-description (which drifts badly after a few shots). And there's a director/world layer that pins scene + camera so a location stays coherent when you cut around it, instead of re-rolling the room every shot.
The rest of why it might be worth a look:
- Model-neutral. Text/image/video/voice all go through one OpenAI-compatible gateway — frontier closed models for quality, open weights for control. No lock-in.
- Self-hosted.
docker compose upand it runs on your own boxes. Your scripts, your models, your servers. - Every step is decomposable — independent async tasks with their own UI, so you can run in order, skip, or resume from a checkpoint on long jobs.
- License: Elastic 2.0 — free to use, modify, and self-host; you just can't resell it as a hosted service.

Happy to go deep on the canvas, the model gateway, or the consistency approach in the comments — feedback from people actually running this stuff is what I'm after.
Is Ai good enough to produce videos for TikTok for a prescription glasses business.
Is AI good enough that I would be able to generate founder using ai to post to tik tok. They would be about prescription glasses, informative and educational and promoting my online prescription glasses business. It would require a lot of trust would the ai kill it. Appreciate your help.
Forgive me, for I hath sinned. Maybe..... I don't know. but DAAAM
I grew up in the Casey Neistat era of YouTube. That's where my love of filmmaking started, and it's the reason I shoot everything — phone, drone, camera, doesn't matter. If something's happening, I'm recording.
The problem? I have years of footage I've barely touched.
Every time I sit down to edit, I hit the same wall: I know the shot exists somewhere, but I can't find it. I'm scrubbing through folders at 2am, scanning thumbnails, trying to remember which SD card had that golden hour drone shot over the river. It kills the creative momentum every time, and honestly it's the reason I haven't posted a YouTube video in five-plus years.
I looked at what was available — every DAM I tried was either built for photos, required cloud uploads, or just gave you basic tags like "beach" and "dog." Nothing that actually understood how a frame was shot.
So I built my own.
What it does:
- Runs a custom fine-tuned vision model entirely on your Mac — no cloud, no uploads, no internet required during analysis
- Analyzes every extracted frame with a structured 7-field caption: scene, subjects, shot type, composition, mood, lighting, setting
- Transcribes audio with word-level timestamps so you can search for what was said, not just what was shown
- Hybrid search (semantic + keyword) — type "handheld tracking shot at golden hour" and the exact clips surface in seconds
- Export directly to Final Cut Pro, Premiere, DaVinci Resolve, or EDL — it relinks to your original raw files, no transcoding
- Build storyboards by pulling selects into Boards with custom in/out points
The MCP thing (for the nerds):
I've also connected it to Claude via MCP, so I can describe a narrative I want to tell and have Claude search my entire library, pull the frames I'd need, and lay out a rough edit — "use the wide drone shot from here to here, then cut to the close-up at this timestamp." It's basically an AI director that knows my footage.
The honest version:
This isn't the next Adobe, or apoope as I call them. I'm not trying to sell anyone sh!t. I'm a solo dev who had a real problem — couldn't find my own footage, couldn't be bothered to edit because the organization step was too painful — and I solved it. If you're sitting on a hard drive full of raw clips you've never cut into anything, this might be useful to you too.
- $69 one-time perpetual license (includes a year of updates)
- Mac only (Apple Silicon)
- 30 minutes of free cloud processing included if your machine can't handle local inference
- You own it forever

New Open-Source AI For Turning 3D Scenes Into Realistic Video
fal just open-sourced 3DREAL, a new render-to-real IC-LoRA for LTX-2.3.
The idea is simple but very useful: take a rough 3D / CG / game render and turn it into a more photorealistic cinematic video, while keeping the original composition, camera movement, and scene layout.
So instead of asking AI to generate the whole shot from text, you can start with an actual 3D scene first.
Example workflow:
Generate or create 3D assets
Build a rough scene in Blender or a game engine
Animate the camera or objects
Render a simple 3D / CG pass
Use 3DREAL as the final render-to-real AI pass.
Highlights:
• Built for 3D / CG / game render inputs
• Works with Blender blockouts, game-engine renders, viewport animations, and synthetic 3D scenes
• Preserves the original composition and camera movement
• Can turn rough 3D renders into more realistic cinematic video
• Uses the trigger word 3DREAL
• Can be run directly on fal without local setup
• Model weights are available on Hugging Face
There are two versions:
3DREAL Light
More faithful to the original input, better structure preservation, fewer hallucinations.
3DREAL Strong
Pushes harder toward realism and detail, but can drift more from the original render.
You can build the shot in 3D first, control the camera, scale, layout, and timing, then use AI as the final render pass.
This feels much more practical than pure text-to-video for 3D artists, Blender users, and game devs.

Does anybody know free AI cartoon videos making tool?
I want to make YouTube channel to get monetization. But all tools are paid. I just want to make 2-4 mins of video. If anyone knows please let me know.
Any beginner-friendly ai video tools for vfx videos?
I keep seeing those ai vfx clips on tiktok where someone walks through an explosion or turns into another character, and I want to try making something like that.
i tried a few tools, but I’m clearly not great at prompting yet. the results either look random or miss the effect i was going for.
how are you starting? do you usually write detailed prompts from scratch. are there tools or templates that make it easier to start with? i’m not trying to make anything super professional yet. just want to play around with the style without spending hours guessing the prompt.
How to generate high quality AI videos?
I would like to generate videos like this for academic resources:

I really like the image quality, script, transitions and audio. What is the pipeline I should follow? Is it costly?
Thank you for your help.
