## Summary

The video is a live test of Hexfield, an AI platform for content creation, to see if AI can produce a viral social media video. The creator uses Cinema Studio to generate short videos from images, uploads them to TikTok, and reviews the results after 24 hours.

### Key Points

- **AI's Growing Role** [00:02] — The creator initially dismissed AI but now uses it extensively, freeing up time and handling creative tasks.
- **Introducing Hexfield** [00:45] — Hexfield is a platform aggregating AI tools for content creation: images, videos, audio, etc. The creator plans to use it to create a viral video.
- **Thumbnail Creation** [01:12] — The creator used Hexfield's Nano Banana Pro to generate YouTube thumbnails from a single selfie, producing about 10 per video in under a minute, which was more efficient than hiring designers.
- **The Challenge** [02:47] — The creator will create a short video using AI 100%: no appearance, no voiceover, just AI-generated content, to be uploaded to social media.
- **Hexfield's Features** [03:12] — Hexfield includes tools for image creation, video creation, editing, face swapping, and character creation using UGC technology. It also has Cinema Studio for cinematic video generation.
- **Using Cinema Studio** [04:37] — The creator demonstrates Cinema Studio: you provide a first frame (image) and a script, and it generates a cinematic video with camera movements, editing, and sound.
- **Pricing** [08:21] — Hexfield offers packages: Basic $9/month (150 credits), $29, $50, and Creators plan. Image generation costs 2 credits, video 20 credits. Some models like Flex are unlimited on higher plans.
- **First Attempt** [09:30] — The first video generation failed to capture the intended story (a struggling employee seeing a FreelancerX ad). The AI didn't understand the narrative.
- **Using Claude for Prompts** [11:30] — The creator used Claude AI to write a better prompt for Cinema Studio, but the second attempt also failed, producing a scary result.
- **Final Three Videos** [13:18] — After 15-20 minutes of experimentation, the creator selected three videos: one about hair bleaching, one with a piano falling, and one about aging. They were uploaded to TikTok.
- **Results After 24 Hours** [15:05] — The videos got 1,000, 4,000, and 4,300 views respectively, totaling ~10,000 views. The creator notes this was without hashtags or consistency, and the videos were made in under 5 minutes.
- **Conclusion** [16:53] — The creator concludes that Hexfield is a powerful tool, especially for photos, and that AI can generate significant engagement with minimal effort.

### Conclusion

AI tools like Hexfield can produce social media content that garners thousands of views with minimal effort, but the results are inconsistent and may not always match the creator's vision. The tool is a valuable addition to a content creator's arsenal.

## Transcript

huge leap forward. At first, when it started, I wasn't really interested, and I didn't think AI was all that great. But today, there are so many things being done that we videos on social media that I don't know if they're real, and the amount of work
I'm giving AI to do for me. I'm even freeing up a lot of time now! If you know how to use it correctly, it can completely change your life. In my work in content creation, we do a lot of tasks, both creative and
In both cases, I've discovered that AI really helps. In this video, we're going to do a live test of AI to see how far its capabilities have come. AI to see how far its capabilities have come.
because in this video I'm going to try a tool called Hexfield. Hexfield is a platform that gathers all the artificial intelligence tools related to content creation, whether it's creating images, videos, movies, series, or anything else. I'm going to use this tool today to create a video to upload
to social media and see if it goes viral. Today I'll reiterate whether artificial intelligence has actually reached the point where one can rely on it completely or not yet. So, let's not waste any more time. Welcome to a new video with you, Al-Saluki. Let's begin by praying
Honestly, I've been using artificial intelligence for a very long time, but I only use it to with it. I've never used it for creative purposes, but in the last two months things have changed.  A little bit because I had a
big problem finding someone who could design YouTube thumbnails—thumbs for videos—and actually deliver results. I wasn't entirely happy with the design itself, but my opinion wasn't important; what mattered was that it actually worked. So I tried out a lot of people,
talked to a lot of people, and of course, we paid money, but in the end, the result wasn't the best. I'm with; I'm just giving examples so no one gets offended. Anyway, I came across a tool called Hexfield. As I mentioned, Hexfield is a platform that brings together everything related to content creation, including creative,
images, videos, audio, and all that. From within Hexfield, I used the new Nano Banana Pro and started creating thumbnails using artificial intelligence. If you look 'll see the thumbnails are made with AI. Of course, it's subjective; someone might say this one is
good, and someone else might say that one is not.  It's awful, but in the supplement, the results were generally better. These designs were created for me in less than a minute. For all these videos, I only took one photo, and I actually generated about 10 thumbnails for each video. Then I would choose between them, or even use
YouTube's feature to test them and see which one performed best. So in the supplement, the process was easier and better for me. I don't deal with humans, I don't pay a lot of money in the long run, and I don't have to bother a designer by asking them to redo it multiple times. I also improved
myself by using another AI to write the script I would send to Nano Banan to create the best, most impressive design in the world. So, honestly, this is really relaxing for me; it's something even more impressive, which is to start creating videos. As I told you, I'm going to make a
short video using AI. This video will be a short or real video that I'll upload to Personally, I don't  I won't appear in the video, I won't speak, and I won't do voiceover. I'll be using AI 100%. At the end of this video, you'll see the
final result, God willing. I'll upload the real version
honest, Hexfield contacted me and asked me to talk about them, so I told them I wouldn't advertise. I'd just try the tool in the video and see if it's really good or bad. So, after browsing the Hexfield does. As I mentioned, it's a platform that gathers all the AI ​​tools
content creation that help content creators in general. Hexfield has tools that help you create images, tools that help you create videos, and tools...  It helps you edit photos or videos, change someone's face in a video, and provides tools to create
characters. These characters can be your own likeness, or they can be created using UGC (Uniform Composition) technology. UGC is helpful for business people. All of that is one thing, but what released something new called Cinema Studio. It claims to be an AI-powered tool that creates
videos similar to cinematic productions. cinematic productions. frame of your cinematic video. Then you write a script that transforms this first frame into a
complete cinematic video. From there, you can adjust the camera type, editing, sound, and everything else. It really makes you feel like a whole team
worked on the video. Personally, I've been wanting to advertise this platform for a while now.  FreelancerX, so of course there's nothing better than trying this out today with Hexfield. So what's happening look around, and then open CinemaStudio and create our media. God willing,
around midday today, I'll post it on my social media and hope it goes viral. As you can see, this is Hexfield's website. I'll put the link in the description below. As you can see, the site has many features and many things happening.
Simply put, if you want to create an image, you go to the page, and all the things on the left are features, meaning things you can do to the image itself, like drawing a picture and then editing it, or creating a storyboard. Here's CinemaStudio,
which we'll be working on in a bit, and so on. On the other hand, here are the artificial intelligence tools these features. There's Nano Banana Pro, which is the most popular one; it was released, I think, exactly three weeks ago. There's also Flex, which is very powerful, and 1.2.2, which I've tried several times; honestly, it's amazing. And there are
many other things too. So, if you want to create videos, you can go to the can create in videos, or the AI ​​tools they have. There's also Image 2, which is very powerful. Google View is also available and very good. I've also tried 1.2.6 for videos, and it's good too.
And so on. The possibilities are endless. Even editing is available; if you want to edit a specific image or video, it's the same idea. As I mentioned, you can create a character for yourself. And as you can see, there are so many possibilities, and they're
endless. To give you a simple example, these are the images I've generated. Of course, you'll find some strange things in it.  The text isn't a problem, but just so you understand, for example, the picture in front of you, I actually took a selfie and sent it to him, and he edited this whole thing.
This picture was also the same selfie. Of course, this guy doesn't look like me at all, I understand, but the fact that he did it for me in less than a minute is cool. Here, I was trying to make a third of one video, so these three are from the same video, and these three are from the same video below, so there are six of them for the same video.
I wanted to make a different style from them, so 1, 2, 3, and 4 are also from the same video. So, video. Honestly, it was the same video, so here are 11, 12, and 13. There are some things that get in the middle, of course, it's not a problem. But here, for example, this one,
I took a selfie laughing normally, and he edited it like this. And this one, this guy and this picture, it's not me at all. I didn't do anything here at all.  This isn't my body or anything. I just sent him a picture of my face, and he did all this, no big deal. So, honestly, some things
turn out really good. I mean, I really liked this one, and I I was just sitting there, and he put my hand in. And of course, some things are unfortunately just weird like this.
social media. I want to tell you, this picture isn't real, and that's not me. Everything behind me is n't real, and those people aren't real at all. It's artificial intelligence, honestly, it's really amazing. Studio. So, we're in our Cinema Studio now.
you can see, Cinema Studio has given you an example here: it's a still image, and then it turned it into a video of a guy on fire and stuff like that in a bar. So, we're down here with our project. We can do it here. We'll write the text for the promo. As we said, this will be the first image, which he'll then turn
into a video. Or we could upload a picture of ourselves and start working on it. Honestly, I'm going to try several things now because I'm sure the first attempt write our promo. As I told you, I want to make an ad for FreelancerX, so I want
'll learn to make money, how you'll learn freelancing, and all that. So, the image we'll start with— the idea for the ad I have in mind—is about a struggling employee who's feeling down. He opens his wallet and finds he's short on money and discovers he has a debt he needs to pay.
Then he sees an ad for FreelancerX, joins the platform, starts making money, pays off his debt, and his bank account increases. The thing is, the image I'll start with is that of a poor, downtrodden man. I
walking around looking sad and tired, wearing office clothes, but not very neat. We'll click "Generate," and of course, we'll wait about a minute or two, or sometimes five minutes for videos if the server is busy, just to get everything
working. While we wait, let's quickly look at the prices. There are several packages available. The cheapest, Basic package, costs $9 per month and gives you 150 credits. Of course, the 150 credits vary depending on the tool you use. So,
to copy the image, we 'll pay two credits; to copy a video, we might pay 20 credits. The next package costs $29.  Of course, if you switch to a secondary plan, you'll find that the prices have decreased. That's a whole other story.
There's a $50 plan and a Creators plan. The Creators plan is listed with a zero because I'm paying for it now. It's not actually zero; it can reach $50 a year. Honestly, it's a great plan; it gives you subscribed for three weeks now, and as you can see, I've spent 93% of my credits.
Also, when you subscribe to the two plans mentioned above, certain models, like Flex, are unlimited. You don't pay any credits when you use them. The same thing happens with my plan; there are several unlimited ones you can use. So, if you want to subscribe, subscribe through the
and I'm not getting anything out of it, but I just wanted to let you know.  Okay, so let's go back to our picture. As you can see, the picture is finished, and this is what I got. This frame... I want to tell you that it looks 100% natural. I just understand that the
man might look a bit foreign, so we could try to write the prompt to make him look Egyptian, for example. But if you saw this picture, you might think it's a stock photo that someone took and is selling, claiming it's a real picture. So, for now,
more Egyptian because I know if I say "Arab," they'll probably put a turban on him. But we can still And of course, if you have a specific prompt and want it to give you several ideas, we can add four pictures here instead of one out of four, so it will give you
four different pictures, and so on. That's the picture of the Egyptian man.  [Laughter] Honestly, he's an Egyptian man, but he's not an employee; he's more like a beggar. Honestly, our employees don't look like that. So, we'll go here to the video and choose our start frame, and we'll choose a
picture of the Egyptian man. Then we'll start explaining exactly what we want. Keep in mind, the longest thing is that the video has to be 10 seconds, but unfortunately, that's very annoying. Then we choose the movements we want the camera to make. It could
be circling around him, going down, going up. I feel like a follower camera would be better. We could have the man walking, so the camera would follow him. We want to explain the story. Well, because of the 10 seconds, I those few seconds, so I wrote that the man was walking and saw an ad for Freeland Sex, and it teaches him
how to make money, so he started dreaming and imagining his life as a rich and happy man. We'll try it, you know.  We'll try what happens. We paid 18 [units of currency] for this discussion, and we'll wait a bit and a bit and
see what happens. Okay, on the other hand, I uploaded this picture of myself to the website, and I also want to turn it into a video, so we'll try it. Okay, so I wrote that I went to the Shark Tank program and got an offer to sell my company for a billion dollars. We'll see [laughs] what happens. Pray for me to succeed. Okay, after about what happens. Pray for me to succeed. Okay, after about three or four minutes, the first video finished. Okay, I mean, what did he understand in the video? He didn't even get the idea
of ​​the FreelanceX ad. He showed the guy thinking and then imagining himself, so he showed me laughing. He didn't show me him entering a dream or anything like that, so that's not what we want. So this is the first attempt, and unfortunately, it failed. Okay, so for now, while we
try the second video and see what happens with the Shark Tank thing, I want to use an artificial intelligence called Cloud. I'll use it to write a Prompt for me.  I'm going to use it with Hexfield to see if it will help Hexfield and the tool called Cinema Studio, which makes a 10-second video from an image. I also
explained the image I made, even though I should have uploaded the image instead of explaining it, so he could actually use it right away. I told him to write the parameters that make an ad for FreelancerX, and I explained to him that the Cinema Studio model doesn't even know
great Prompt, and he wrote it for me. So, I wo n't waste time reading it. Honestly, I'll just copy it. We'll choose the start frame (the Egyptian guy's frame) and write the parameters like this. We can leave the actions this time; we won't do any action at all and just click Generate. And now, the
second video is finished. Okay, it's clear [laughs] this is scary, so we don't have to finish it. Okay, it's clear that he's not changing the setup; he's converting the image to a video completely.  Simply put, he did the same thing he did there, but he made me move
so natural, but it's still not what we're looking for. Honestly, I took a while and realized that the examples they've given are tricky. For example, in this video, a man was standing there and then he turned into birds, and the camera moved to the other side. That's tricky. And this
other guy is filming from multiple angles. I want to know where these things are. Maybe I made a mistake or I do n't understand something. Okay, I see where the problem is. When we're generating the image, I could choose the camera type, the lens, and even
its focus. There were so many things we could do. The problem was with me, obviously. Okay, we'll go over it again. No problem, we're learning. Anyway, I think you understand what's going to happen now, but I'm going to keep digging.  Just a little bit so we can get a final result we can work with,
and God willing, we'll upload the video to social media. Okay, we're back again. I think I spent about fifteen or twenty minutes trying a lot of things, I don't want to show you, honestly, they're awful. But let's talk about the three I liked. The first video I liked is this one,
in my office filming, but when the camera pans, they realize I'm not at the desk. The second video is so awful it realize I'm not at the desk. The second video is so awful it might go viral, I mean, seriously, it's awesome. And the
third video might go viral the most, it's just me getting old, why, and I got chicken pox, I don't know why, even though I got it when I was a kid, but it's okay. Anyway,
these are the three videos we came up with, they're light, cute, good, probably not too viral. Honestly, I was expecting more than this, but the important thing is that the video I'll upload  I feel like posting this video on TikTok, but I honestly don't want to post these things
on my Instagram. Also, these videos are wide, so I'm not sure if that will negatively affect their reach. God knows. But I'll try to upload all three videos and see if I can frame them like I usually do. Maybe the short videos will work then, God knows.
Anyway, I'll upload them and then log off. In 24 hours, we'll check them to see if they got any views and hours, we'll check them to see if they got any views and give our final rating of the platform. give our final rating of the platform. Okay, we're back, and almost 24 hours have passed, so let's
see the results. I'm going to open TikTok now. I uploaded the three videos on TikTok. Let's see what happened. First, the first video, the one about my hair and how they bleach it, unfortunately got 1000 views but only 14 likes and one comment. Most likely, this video
was very bad. Of course, there are many reasons, including that it's very generic, and that I didn't  I didn't put any hashtags without sound or anything at all. The second video, where I was sitting and a piano fell on my head, got 4000 views in 24 hours. The video came with 82 likes and seven comments,
and of course everyone was joking in the comments. The third video was the most viewed video, but it was almost the same as the second video. In 24 hours, we got about 4300 views, and of course everyone was joking about what this is and I don't know what. I want to tell you that because
the videos are showing in landscape mode, I zoomed in so that they would appear in portrait mode.  But the third video that got the most views is the only video that I didn’t make in full length because the camera had to rotate to get the full width so that people could understand the video.  So, the whole
point is that I didn't film any content or do anything at all, and in 24 hours I was able to get almost 100,000 views, that in itself is something very amazing.  As a content creator, you sometimes put a lot of effort into videos, you film, edit, and pay a lot of money in order to
end up getting exactly the same number of views .  The idea is that we were able to make three videos in less than five minutes, and all three got us 10,000 views. Well, I could actually make 10 or 20 videos a day, but of course, there are many different factors here,
like the fact that I haven't posted anything on TikTok for many months and haven't used any hashtags. So, there's nothing left to make these videos successful. If someone is consistent and diligent in creating content on TikTok like this, they'll most likely
get a lot of views. And if the channel is built on this kind of content, the people who follow you are used to it, so the engagement would probably be much better. Because this is actually the first time in my life I've posted any kind of content, and the first time I've posted content that's
not really related to what I usually talk about. So, in summary, and to conclude, in my opinion, the tool is really dangerous, and also...  I'm not just talking about Cinema Studio, I'm talking about all of Hexfield because I actually use it for many other things, especially for photos. So that's it, folks.
That was today's video, a test of a new tool. Of course, if there's another tool that's been released or is on the market, I'm not really focusing on that aspect, but if you'd like to try it, write it in the comments and I'd like to try making a video about it. And if you want to
use Hexfield, use the link in the video description. Just so you know, it's not an affiliate link for people who think I make videos just for links. I swear, I don't get paid for this, unfortunately. I really wish I could be links. I swear, I don't get paid for this, unfortunately. I really wish I could be
affiliate link. I hope you liked the video and I'll see you in the next one. Yeah.
