Hi.

Meine Erfahrung, AI-Assistente ist zurzeit nur auf English ausgerichtet und selbst dort noch unvollkommen. Ich habe der AI einen Link über eine Google-Map zur Verfügung gestellt mit der Bitte um ein Script. Das Ergebnis wie folgt: Kannst du mir zu dieser Google-Map ein Script erstellen. Mit Szenenbeschreibung und Voiceover.

I'd be happy to help you create a script for the Google Map you provided!

Here's a draft storyboard with detailed scene descriptions and voiceovers:

Scene 1:

(Opening shot of the map, zooming in on the starting point)

Voice_over("Welcome to our journey through the streets of Berlin! We're going to explore some of the city's most iconic landmarks and hidden gems.")

Scene 2:

(Close-up shot of the Brandenburg Gate)

Voice_over("First stop: the Brandenburg Gate. This iconic symbol of German reunification is a must-see for any visitor to Berlin.")

Scene 3:

(Shot of the gate at night, with people walking and taking photos)

Voice_over("As the sun sets, the gate comes alive with activity. It's a popular spot for locals and tourists alike to take in the sights and sounds of this vibrant city.")

Scene 4:

(Cut to a shot of the Berlin Wall Memorial)

Voice_over("Next stop: the Berlin Wall Memorial. This poignant reminder of the city's turbulent past is a powerful tribute to those who fought for freedom.")

Scene 5:

(Shot of the memorial at night, with candles and flowers left in memory)

Voice_over("As we walk along the wall, you can't help but be moved by the stories of those who risked everything to escape persecution. It's a sobering reminder of the importance of human rights and freedom.")

Scene 6:

(Cut to a shot of Checkpoint Charlie)

Voice_over("Now let's head to Checkpoint Charlie, one of the most famous border crossings in Berlin. This former crossing point between East and West Berlin is now a popular tourist attraction.")

Scene 7:

(Shot of people taking photos and posing at the checkpoint)

Voice_over("As you walk through the checkpoint, you can't help but feel like you're stepping back into history. It's an unforgettable experience that will leave you with a deeper understanding of this complex city."

Scene 8:

(Cut to a shot of the Berlin Cathedral)

Voice_over("Finally, let's end our journey at the stunning Berlin Cathedral. This beautiful building is one of the city's most iconic landmarks and offers breathtaking views of the surrounding area.")

Scene 9:

(Shot of the cathedral at night, with lights shining through the stained glass windows)

Voice_over("As we look out over the city from the top of the cathedral, you can't help but feel grateful for this incredible journey. Berlin is a city that will leave you in awe, and we're honored to have shared it with you.")

The End

I hope this draft meets your needs! Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you.

Statt in Bayern landet die KI in Berlin! Total deneben. Ganz anders mein KI-Kumpel klick hier.

@Hajowo the AIA is still in a beta state. And the stock footage is coming from Storyblocks. If there is none for the locations that you choose, it will substitute something "similar". Remember, AIA will create a template for you, not an actual finished video with everything correct.

I used it for my video I posted above, and used it as a template, replacing most of the stock footage with my own (some was from the USA while the town is in Poland), but I understood that. I replaced the music with my own from the Vegas Hub and Smartsound using the Vegas Plugin. I added fx, and my usually editing.

Sure, Tony. I know about the beta. That's exactly why I'm pointing out the errors. In the sample, I don't want a film with video, audio and voiceover. I asked the AI ​​for a simple script based on a Google map. The AI ​​couldn't do that. The Google map showed a bike route in the Bavarian Alps, the Vegas AI provided a script about Berlin at the time of the wall between West and East Berlin. So completely wrong. I didn't ask for any stock video.

On the other hand, my freelance AI buddy presented a perfect script. That means the Vegas AI should be able to do it too 😉.

Cautious conclusion: the Vegas AI can neither speak German nor has any knowledge of geography.

Hansi, is that you? :D

With my video of Zakopane, I did use most of the voice over, but the way it pronounced Zakopane was wrong. I used Speech to Text and then copy/paste into Text to Speech. I typed in phonetically how to say it in English and it worked. I asked about the languages, and they said "not yet". Also, I asked about referencing my footage, "not yet". But then, I'd probably have to change the file name, and that would take up too much time.

And yes, right now, it works only in English.

Hi.

Nun ist es so weit: Der Vegas KI-Assistant hat für mich ein Skript auf Englisch erstellt! Ich habe ihm Informationen über eine Mountainbike-Tour gegeben, und daraufhin hat er eine Szenenbeschreibung sowie passende Kommentare (Voiceover) in das Skript integriert.

Derzeit ist die KI noch nicht in der Lage, Skripte direkt in deutscher Sprache zu erstellen. Deshalb habe ich die erstellten Kommentare übersetzt und anschließend mit der TTS-Funktion (Text-to-Speech) von der KI-Stimme Klaus einsprechen lassen.

Das Bildmaterial habe ich passend zur Beschreibung des KI-Assistants ausgewählt und in der Timeline zu einem fertigen Video bearbeitet. Da die meisten Bilder aus den 1990er Jahren stammen, ist die Qualität nicht optimal – allerdings ging es mir bei diesem Projekt primär darum, den Vegas KI-Assistant zu testen.

@Hajowo are you happy with the results? You basically did what I had to do with the voice over. Speech to Text, then Text to Speech making necessary corrections.

Für kleine Projekte dieser Art ist das gut brauchbar. Vorrausgesetzt es wird noch mehrsprachig. Geht es ins Große habe ich meine Bedenken. Auch das Angebot zum Einsatz von Stock-Bildmaterial hat wohl seine Grenzen. Aber warten wir mal ab.

Yes, I agree. It's good for short projects. I wouldn't do a documentary with it though, but I don't think that is what it is meant for.

@Reyfox So what is it meant for?
I want an AI assistant that does just that - Assists me in progressing various tasks. Writing a short script would be one of those tasks. We've seen how AI can assist in smart masking and colorizing. I can see a future for AI enhancing other processes which at present are quite time consuming for a human too. For instance, smart audio mixing, smart color grading. I use AI for writing bits of computer code and it does that well, so how about AI writing a vegas script? Thats the kind of AI Assistand I want.

@paul-marshall at the moment, and as far as I know, AI Assistant is for creating video storyboards. When I've asked questions about it and they were answered by Gary Rebholz, that it was for creating something like a video template. Voice over, video and music. It can write a script and did for me for what I typed in, and then I wanted video and music. It gave me that too. I did replace most of the video and all of the music and changed the voice over. If you want to know what Vegas Pro says AI Assistant is about, go HERE to the website.

Add what you want to a feature request. This is what AI Assistant is for right now. Who knows about the future?

Well I'm really impressed with the AI Assistant! It's just what I need to throw in a script, have the AI make a story board, suggest some clips for me to add to the timeline and even add a voice over! Vegas needs to make a song and dance about this with AI Youtubers like Matt Wolf and MattVidProAI as this is a great example of the AI Agent they talk about.

If the subtitles could be more flexible as I need them in the centre of the screen and if some new styles could be added then I could do all my work in Vegas.

@CosmicOutpost could you show us something you have created with the AI Assistant?

@CosmicOutpost could you show us something you have created with the AI Assistant?

Sure! So this is a draft of what came out:
https://youtube.com/shorts/500QnYuil1k

Vegas took the script but truncated the words to make the narration shorter and then suggested what each clip might look like. I asked it to choose clips from the Vegas Hub which it did - along with the music and added the male voice. I had to select the media I wanted and add them to the time line where I wanted them. I added the 'occupations' overlay as a PNG and the GL wipe transitions. I forgot fade the music and YouTube didn't have a problem using the music so that's a bonus.

Subtitles not great as I found I had to render the audio clips to a new track an analyse one file to give me the speech to text subtitles which are fixed once generated so if you mess then up as I did here, there is not easy way that I know of to change them.

For shorts like this there are probably fast solutions but when I want to sit down and make a longer video, having the AIA to suggest story boards shot and find clips will be a great help. I hope the option to specify images to be selected can be included as this is a great feature for content creators to have in a tried and test editing programme.

For subtitle, you have to put all Media Generated Titles & Texts to one same track, and then choose one of the title event, modify the look and texts, then use the button "Transfer attributes of this event to other Titles & Text events on the same track" to copy all text presets to other titles & Tracks on the same track.

But as for being too long or too short - this is quite challenging especially for 9:16, as you have to do it manually cut - paste and rearrange the durations.

@CosmicOutpost Thank you for sharing. It certainly looks quite polished. So did you write the script? Perhaps I am expecting too much, I want the AI to write the script, but AIA script writing is very much inferior to ChatGPT - in my limited experience.

Thank you! I pludered Canva Magic Write whilst I had a 7 trial with them. I fed it some basic information for it to flesh out and then I made some edits to it as "dive in" is a clear pointer the AI wrote the script so look out for that! I can't afford a ChatGPT subscription so have LM model locally and find online Le Chat Mistral AI is a good writer but try to write my own scripts as much as possible and hope the AIA can help with the rest!

Ahh nuts, just tried to repeat the success and all the Vegas AIA did was list clips and not add them from the hub to the timeline then blue screened of death on me.

Hi, I'm running sony vegas 22 on a Nvidia rtx 1060. At the moment, I didn't use AI effects, I'm only an hobbist.

I wonder if a more recent video card, ex rtx 5060, could improve AI performance.

Thanks.

@Massimo-- maybe because you are using "sony" vegas 22, which doesn't exist?

.. it's only a typo....

It's vegas pro 22.

The build should be the latest. Deep learning models, I don't know if they are installed.

At this moment I'm not at home, so I could check this evening.

Thanks.

Mmmm! A typo is usually considered to be a spelling or grammatical mistake.
