VIDEOS FROM TEXT?
As soon as you get the chance, you need to look into these two AI services:

https://www.pika.art/?utm_source=go...MI96K1q5algAMVOgGtBh2qowd9EAAYASAAEgLSmvD_BwE
With Pika you have to APPLY in order for you to get to use the BETA version!
I already have an account with Runway ML. It appears I never used it. I probably couldn't figure out how to make it work. As I go back to it now, I'm thinking the way to do so is to create a new project, so I'm going to start there and see what happens.
My security system keeps protecting me from URL threats on this website.
So no, I don't start with a new project. I start by clicking on the Generation 2 image. (In order to use Runway ML I had to disable my security program.)
I now see where to go to add an image to the prompt so that the video created looks more like what I have in mind. Apparently, this free version is going to create a four-second video.
(Screencast-o-matic has become Screen Pal, and it's a lot SLOWER now.)
