Hi everyone, I'm a Screenwriter, but I also direct and produce a lot of films that I write. I filmed 2 Christmas Rom-Com Short films yesterday, but we discovered that one of our wireless mics caused some hissing/static sound on our main actress. I'm on a tight deadline to get these films out before Christmas. Does anyone have suggestions for an AI system I can use to extract the static sound? 12/22 UPDATE! Thank you all for your suggestions! I made my deadline! After testing out several, Auphonic was the winner! Here's the 1st short film that I just uploaded to YouTube! Thank you and Happy Holidays!!!

Hey everyone! 👋 I know AI image tools can feel overwhelming. Suddenly there are new versions dropping every week (like the new ChatGPT Image 1.5 that just came out!). To keep it simple, I tested the two biggest players so you don't have to guess. Here is the "Plain English" breakdown of which one you should use for your daily tasks. Option 1: ChatGPT (The "Fast Camera") Best for: Quick fun, social media posts, and simple ideas. Think of this like a Polaroid camera. You point, shoot, and get a great-looking picture instantly. - Use this if: You need a quick image for a Facebook post, a slide background, or just to brainstorm an idea. - Why beginners like it: It’s very forgiving. You can type a short sentence like "A cat wearing sunglasses on a beach," and it usually looks good on the first try. - The cool new feature: They added a "Refine" button where you can highlight just one part (like the cat's sunglasses) and change it without ruining the rest of the picture. Option 2: Nano Banana (The "Smart Designer") Best for: Consistency, text, and specific layouts. Think of this like hiring a patient graphic designer. It listens to specific instructions better. - Use this if: You are making a YouTube thumbnail where the text needs to be readable, or if you are creating a character (like a mascot) that needs to look the same in 5 different pictures. - Why pros like it: It is better at "logic." If you ask for a flowchart or a diagram, it actually tries to put the boxes in the right order. - The superpower: It can handle complex prompts where you describe exactly where things should go. Cheat Sheet: Which one for what? - Need a quick meme or funny pic? 👉 Go with ChatGPT. - Need a Thumbnail with text on it? 👉 Go with Nano Banana. - Need a logo or brand mascot? 👉 Go with Nano Banana (it remembers characters better!). - Need to change just the background of a photo? 👉 Go with ChatGPT. Homework: Try generating the same idea in both tools and post the results in the comments! I’d love to see which style you prefer.

As a business owner and agency owner who educates people in my local community about AI (through the library and small businesses), I wanted to share a few ways that I have discovered that people can implement AI without feeling overwhelmed. The suggestions that I am giving below aren't to say you have to incorporate them all, but just pick one or two and as you get comfortable, incorporate a few more that make sense for your business... - You can use ChatGPT as your partner to run ideas by- analyze your strategy, challenge your approach, assist you in identifying your target audience if you are just getting started. Use the "voice" mode and ask it to ask you challenging questions to get to the core issue you are having based on the topic and it will transcribe the conversation on the back end so you will always have it. - You could create an app through vibe coding that holds your SOPs or Training information (nothing confidential or proprietary) so new people joining your team can learn from that tool vs. you or a team member having to take the time to train them (instead, you can question what they learned afterwards or have AI create a flash-card or memory based quiz, crossword, etc. to test their knowledge in fun/creative ways) - You can include a web chatbot on the home page of your website to answer questions about your business and even schedule appointments - You can reinvigorate your email list by having ChatGPT come up with creative email campaigns per quarter that are 75% educational (about your industry or business) and 25% Calls to Action for Sales so they don't feel like you are consistently selling. Ask AI what perks you can offer your customers (like birthday discounts for their birthday month or referral rewards). If you use a platform like GHL, you can set everything up with automations on a quarterly basis as well. - You could get a voice concierge agent that works 24/7 and never misses a call if you are a business that could benefit from that. They sound human, and their knowledge-base knows everything about your company and website and it can answer most questions and book appointments if connected correctly to your calendar. - You could use AI to create presentations for you. I am speaking at an AI Summit next year, and I put the information I wanted to talk about in Claude, then asked it to fill in any gaps about AI I might have overlooked or missed that would be important to cover for that audience and asked it to put it into more of a "TedTalk" type format...then once I liked the result, I took it to the presentation creation app (Gamma) and in about 50 seconds, I had the full presentation with images and graphs completed. Game Changer!
