It turned out really cool, didn't it? This one's from El transition, it'll go straight to Seu Madruga. Since it's in the same setting, it turned out well. can download this and then I can continue creating. So, here I first one, and then I can put another character here from another movie, right? So I can do that now over at Grock. It's not possible to do that, but we're going to pull there. Look, I'll do this quickly so you can see, okay? I'll select the one about Seu Madruga here.

It'll use up a little bit of my credits there, but I have plenty of credits here, so it's all good, right? So let's let him create it here for us in the meantime. After you've downloaded your image and created it , you'll go into Grock, okay? Now we're going to look at the free version, and you'll click here, on Imagine. Here at Imagine, you can use the tools to create your videos. In another video I made, I already explained how to prevent Grock from starting to create this, okay? And here you will upload the photo that was generated for you. Click here and upload your photo. I'll even check if GPT created it for me. GPT created this photo for me. Regarding GPT, I don't really like the photos from GPT. The photos from Gemini are much better, okay? The one from GPT isn't that great. several others that were made with Gemini as well. I'll show you, look. All of these were made with Gemini, okay? So, I'm going to go in here and upload it. Click on imagine. Upload your photo.

Or you could crop the photo there too. I'm here with my photo. Now comes the big secret. As I took the selfie here, look, you can see that Silvio is right next to me, I'm going to put it on, tell the video to rotate, to start rotating. And we're going to use this movement to the prompt says exactly the following . A selfie-style video taken with a smartphone's front camera, the person wearing blue glasses (which in this case is me), you insert some of your features, you 're holding the phone at a distance, your face is perfectly centered, the camera won't orbit or make any kind of independent movement. So, the person is going to make a rotational movement here, and this explains it, look. He starts by taking a selfie and smiling. Then, slowly move the phone , turning your body to the right, creating a smooth circular motion. rotation. Finally, this is the prompt. And then after you've done that, you've put it here, and you can ask to create it. It doesn't change anything here, it just lets you create it. The first one might not turn out so well, but you can make several here. Grock is almost unlimited for you to use, okay? within Grock, and they turn out really good; So, he's going to start creating this video for me. After he created the fast he can create it. He's already created the video here, look. You can see turn out very well. But you can ask again, like I said, it doesn't always come out on the say it comes off on the first try, but that's not true. After you've made your into Canva.

I want the video to start exactly when I'm making this movement here, not when it's still, you see? In order to allow for this transitional movement. So, it's already started here, look. I'm going to pause here and press S to cut. I make a cut, remove the part I don't want, and then, look, I'll let him play. When I turn around, you'll see, right? I'm turning around here, look. Oh, turning around, I'll do it harder here, I'm going to remove this part and bring in the next one. Look, I'm going to bring the next video. So I'll grab the next video and bring it here, okay?
