Hosted by CLASSIFIEDS premium member @Des Dreckett ! Des Dreckett is running a free live talk on how AI has changed making, producing, editing and marketing video, and how to start using it. It's worth your time if you make content. It's 30 minutes, then 30 minutes of live Q&A. Here's the reason he's doing it. A lot of creators use AI to write scripts and ideas, but very few have connected it to the tools they work in and given it real work. A UK survey of 1,000 small business owners this summer found that only about 5% regularly use AI tools that carry out tasks across their other tools. Meanwhile, most people still make video the way they did in 2022: a face-to-cam recording, their own B-roll, a long edit, captions, export. That works, but it takes a lot of hours, and that's where the gap is opening up. What Des will cover How most creators make video today, and what it costs in time. He'll use his own old workflow as the example. A short history of how each era of video making removed one barrier, and which barrier is left now. Making: going from a script to a finished clip, including generated B-roll, native audio and keeping a character consistent between shots. Producing and editing: what used to need a camera, a studio or a crew, and what editing looks like now, with a real before and after. Marketing: turning one video into shorts, a YouTube cut and posts, and testing what works instead of guessing. Where AI still looks like AI: hands, text, drift on longer shots, lip-sync, skin that's too smooth. He'll also cover where AI tools still fail on whole jobs, which is why I'd trust the rest of the talk. Des isn't telling anyone to drop their camera or chase every new tool. He's showing what's possible now and being straight about what isn't. Who it's for: creators, editors and one-person businesses who already make content. Who it isn't for: anyone looking for UGC avatars, AI influencers or an AI agency. When: UK: Monday 19 October, 8 pm (BST) / 19:00 GMT

Ever wonder how you can let people know about your Skool community? Feel like you have so much to offer but don't know how to get people involved? Wish there was somewhere you were actually allowed to promote yourself and talk about your offer? Look no further! The Skool Classifieds are the place where you are not only allowed to promote yourself, but you are actually encouraged to do so! Like the Classifieds section of your local newspaper or the Community Message Board at the gym, this is the place to let people know what you do and what you offer. Here's how it works: 1. Invite other Skoolers you know to join the group using your invite link. The more people join, the more people there are to promote to! 2. You can post once a day only. This is to keep the group from getting spammy. If it's spammy, people won't read and you won't get noticed. Post as many days in a row as you want, but please do not post the same thing day after day - mix it up! 3. Make sure you add your post to the appropriate group/heading. Please see below for a description of what each group is for. If you don't see a group that is appropriate, message me. 4. Self-Promotion is what this group is all about, but please do not DM people with your offers. You will be removed from the group for doing this. 5. Introduce yourself in this thread, and then scroll up and find someone you have something in common with. Reach out. There are some really amazing people here! 😉 This is a place for us to support each other for our mutual benefit. Hate speech, offensive language, or general negativity will be deleted, and you will be removed from the group. *Please check out this post for more tips on how to get great results from your posts. And also this post by one of our own community members who has had great success growing his group through the CLASSIFIEDS.
