In light of Mark’s lifetime of integrity and transparency (two traits I always prioritize in people I trust) — just an FYI for anyone interested. There are a lot of AI platforms popping up right now (browse a directory like “There’s An AI For That” if you want to see the flood). Galaxy.ai is one of the better “all-in-one” places to test a wide range of image/video/audio models in one spot. But it’s worth knowing this: many of these platforms are essentially wrappers around the same underlying tools/models. This feels a lot like an early-stage bubble (think dot-com era). Over the next decade, only the most refined, reliable, and easiest-to-use platforms will really remain. How to think about Galaxy.ai (and platforms like it) Galaxy.ai looks like a safe, convenient way to: - try lots of models quickly - discover what actually fits your workflow - avoid the hassle of wiring everything together yourself - That convenience can absolutely be worth the price—especially while you’re experimenting. If you want to save money later… Once you’ve found the specific models and outputs that match your style, you can often reduce costs by either: 1. going directly to the model/tool you ended up using most, or 2. building your own custom workflow/tool (power-user route) with things like Cursor, Builder.io, or similar “build-your-own app” tools + the model APIs. That’s literally how many of these platforms are made. If Galaxy.ai is perfect for your needs, stay there. If credits start getting expensive (you are a power user or you can't figure it out), graduate to a custom setup once your workflow is proven. Example: one of our current workflows For our children’s illustrated content: - ChatGPT → lyrical structure + prompting - Suno → music - ChatGPT → image frame ideas - Midjourney → visuals/animation direction That workflow works great for us—but it’s not a “cinematic pipeline,” and it can’t fully live inside Galaxy.ai right now because Midjourney doesn’t offer a public API (as of today).

I just released a new video showing the evolution of animation from 2 months for 2 seconds… to AI animations done in 2 days and even 30 minutes. If you’ve struggled with drift, weird morphing, stiff motion, or feeling “not good enough” to animate, you have to watch this. This changes everything for hobbyists and creators who want to finally finish their stories. - See how Garry Pye created a 22-shot trailer in 2 days that looks hand-animated. - Watch the 17-character lip sync sequence made in 30 minutes (yes, minutes). - Understand why AI animation looked broken before… and the new system that fixes it. - Discover why drawing and rigging no longer matter if you follow the right workflow. - Learn why this is the first time hobbyists can actually finish a full episode without burnout.

My very first attempt going from a picture (thumbnail for my latest video) to a video. I wish I had copied the prompt - I left the page and can't seem to get back to it. Anyway - this is not what I was hoping for, it doesn't really make sense that they run away and end up back at the same spot. Nor do I understand why the dinosaur disappears. I have a lot to learn! 🤣 UPDATE: I found where the video and prompt are stored. Here is the prompt: "A tracking shot follows a boy and girl in colorful winter clothes searching for something in front of Santa’s sparkling, snow-covered Workshop at twilight. Suddenly, a cartoonish dinosaur bursts through swirling snow, roaring playfully—the camera whip-pans as the kids, wide-eyed, sprint off-screen left. The dinosaur then turns toward the camera in a slow zoom, grinning warmly and waving in exaggerated, bouncy animation style."

Can CTA5 work with vector files from Clip Studio Paint? I'm currently drawing in CSP. And I want to make it into a cartoon in CTA5, but I don't want to convert the work into a vector file in another program to reduce the working steps.

To diversify using as many applications you can possible let your imagination grow in this example using three programmes Ai, clip studio & other--showing ghosting on the other image when Ai goes wrong.
