YouTube news

As always YouTube continues to introduce new features.

Keeping up with the explosion of YouTube viewing on TV sets they are introducing new ways of displaying channel content in the living room to compete with services like Netflix.

New AI tools are also coming including integration with Google DeepMind’s Veo generative AI video.

This will include enhanced background creation and a shorts generator.

Variety writes: DeepMind’s Veo will let creators generate 6-second standalone video clips for Shorts. YouTube said AI-generated content will be watermarked using SynthID, and “we’ll apply a label that clearly communicates to viewers it was generated with AI,” Voolich (YT Chief product officer) said.

Adobe Firefly Video

Adobe have also made waves this month with new Video AI tools.

'Generated Extended' in Premiere will allow Editors to extend clips to fill gaps - it actually creates the extra frames that weren't filmed (it handles audio too.)

On a basic level say you are adding a transition between two shots but the b-roll isn't long enough to allow for the extra frames needed to cover the transition - this feature will generate the extra frames.

Think ahead

We are heading towards the holiday season then New Year.

Now is the time to start brainstorming video ideas, then producing them.

I mentioned recently I have been delving into ebay, back in the summer I realised I had about 10 items of unwanted ski/snowboard stuff from when we (and my kids) were younger :)

So I prepped them and even filmed a couple of videos showcasing the items, I realised from October onwards folks would be out there in numbers looking for Winter sports gear.

I listed the gear in October and boom - everything sold in a couple of weeks.

The timing was spot on.

So think ahead .. what is going through your prospects minds in the Holiday season and the New Year to ride the wave.

Examples:

👀 Can your service or product be gifted? Make a video showing how and why it will make a great gift.

👀 How not to stress about Christmas. (if stress management is your niche)

👀 While people are still sleeping after Christmas do XYZ to hit the ground running in the New Year.

You get the drift.

Now with all this mention of AI .. of course you can prompt Chat GPT (free version) for niche ideas.

I tried this:

The suggestions were great!

ps. Following my last email about Microphone's Rob Charles (who as a DJ & knows alot about sound) said he has been using the Hollyland Mk 2 Wireless Lavalier and is happy with it, not used it myself but comes in less than the Rode and DJI mentioned. He writes: "It's great and comes with stickers to cover up the mike or wear it on a necklace."
