[00:02] artificial intelligence and still haven't decided which tools to integrate into your workflow to achieve professional audiovisual production in 2026? This video is for you. There are too many models, new updates, you
[00:15] end up trying everything, but you don't choose anything in the end and that's one of the most expensive mistakes we can make today. That's why I'm going to show you the six blocks I use to create content so you can choose from
[00:29] all the options and create your professional audiovisual workflow, allowing you to work professionally with artificial intelligence , serving clients, creating a YouTube channel, images for e-commerce, videos for
[00:42] social media of products, in short, real products. If this is your first time here, I'm Lorín Enrique, captain of the artificial ark, a channel specializing in the creation of images or videos with artificial intelligence.
[00:55] or videos with artificial intelligence. Let's begin. audiovisual production, I'm talking about people who want to work with artificial intelligence, making videos, creating social media content, or people who
[01:08] want to make music videos, who want to create content for third parties. I also include people who want to create content in the real estate niche, for people who want to create YouTube channels, documentaries, and
[01:21] all of this you will be able to create with all the information I'm going to give you today. And tools are the ones I use and work on daily. And of course, if you're one of those people who are only looking for
[01:33] free tools, this video isn't for you. Here we're talking about professional work and investing in certain applications that will allow you to do professional work. And the last thing I want to say before we begin is
[01:47] that I'm not including local workflows. All of that is done through tools. In my case I use four. The first one is this GPT. He's the one I pay for. I can create as many GPTs as I can, and I give
[02:01] many of them away on the channel for you to use, and it's also the one that gives me the best results when it comes to proms. So, when I'm looking for a prom assistant, without hesitation, I go to GPT chat. The
[02:16] second option, Gemini. Why do I use Gemini? Firstly, because it has integrated what is a nano banana. Currently, as of today, they have just released the ability to create music or create videos. However, everything I do in terms of
[02:32] desire, statistics, everything gives me the best result, Gemini. Incidentally, the entire Google ecosystem is connected to Gemini. Emily, I don't pay for it because when I bought the phone they gave me a free year, so to speak, but I love it
[02:48] because in the end I use the whole ecosystem both on the phone and through Géminadora. This is where Gmail, Notebook, LM, Flow come in; I get a lot of use out of this whole ecosystem . It's mandatory, isn't it? That's why
[03:04] if you want to take full advantage of the entire ecosystem with a single subscription, Emily is your ally. Another one I use is Perplexity Pro. In a video I'll link in the description, it's a short video I made where I
[03:17] explain how you can claim it just by having a PayPal account, how you that video. And I mostly use Perplexity Pro because when you do Perplexity Pro because when you do searches it quotes real texts. In other words,
[03:31] if I want to find a much deeper source and have it tell me where it gets these sources from, I'll find them. For example, if I want to search for a price, if I want to find out how much they're charging for something, or for example, where I can try something,
[03:45] then it gives you real sources because it's based on searches and comments from networks like Reddit, you know, all of that. By the way, there's another search engine I use a lot called Grock, which I also use like Perplexity for search purposes. What are people
[04:02] artificial intelligence, it will talk to you and give you reasons. Current, very current, they are real references, so I don't pay for it either. These are things I so I don't pay for it either. These are things I use daily and they're completely free. And
[04:17] the last one I use is Cloud in its free version. Because? Because in terms of scripts and briefing, it seems much more professional to me. It seems to me, I mean, much more professional to me. It seems to me, I mean, compared to GPT chat, it seems much
[04:32] more professional. Sometimes I cook up some ideas between us and pass them on to the other one, and since I have limited resources here, it's like, look, I have this complete idea, how do I perfect it, and he does it for me. And honestly, with Sonet 4.6 it works wonderfully for me.
[04:48] What are the prices? Here the prices range from €18 for the cloud service to € 23 for GPT chat. If you have to choose one, see which one you Google has to offer, Gemini; if you want to focus more on proms, chat cpt. If
[05:05] you want to focus more on briefs, structure, scripts, and cloud, that's your decision. This is where the headache begins your decision. This is where the headache begins , because there are so many good models
[05:19] that you don't know which one to use. In my case, I pay for M Journey because I like the aesthetics, I like the quality in many types of photographs that I use regularly. However, there are models like Flux Pro,
[05:33] Nano Banana, Z Image, Chat GPT images, and Meta Grock, which Chat GPT images, and Meta Grock, which are good, some better than others, but for me, all my initial frames—and it 's no secret, I always say it in my
[05:48] videos—is that I use my Journey. I'm not telling you to pay for it because I don't know what your project is and only you know what you're looking for. I have a solution for this, but first let's talk about videos, which is block three.
[06:04] If you have a project you don't know how to handle, if you're stuck on creating images, or if you're stuck on structuring your workflow, don't worry, I offer one-on- one consultations where we'll talk for 75 minutes,
[06:20] maybe a little longer, about what you want, how you can approach it, and how you can make it happen. You can find all the information on the Artificial Ark website. You can find all the information on the Artificial Ark website. Read it, write to me and we'll talk, okay
[06:34] ? The same thing happens here as with images. There are so many models that in the end you don't know what to do. However, here what to do. However, here three super expensive models are recovering or rebounding:
[06:48] three super expensive models are recovering or rebounding: Clean 3.0, BO3 which has remained stable, Sora 2, which dropped a bit but is now rebounding, and Sidans 2.0. But the question is, what payment do I make? So, I pay clean, do I pay sidans, which do I pay? And
[07:05] this is where I come in and bring you two super strong options that will not only help you with videos, but will also help you with images: Freepik and Hitfi. Why do I recommend Freepick? And it's the one I use most
[07:21] I recommend Freepick? And it's the one I use most in my day-to-day life because it offers creation through nodes where I can have things organized and create flows. images, I can create variations at the storyboard level, I can create many things
[07:35] that before might have been complicated and here it becomes much easier. By the way, I'm going to leave you a FreePck Spaces playlist up here so you can learn and start learning. I'll keep updating you because there's almost
[07:50] something new every week. How much does Freepic cost? Freep has a How much does Freepic cost? Freep has a discounted mode which costs €5 per month. You need to adapt this to your country, okay? The one that gives you 84,000 credits, goes
[08:04] okay? The one that gives you 84,000 credits, goes up 10 to 22 and the Pro one which is super expensive at €144. Which one do I recommend? The Premium Plus. Because? Because it gives you a standard price, €23, and it will give you unlimited access to nanobanana,
[08:20] Seeream. The number of models for creating images is super wide, I mean, from the native ones of Freepic, like Recraft, look, they just added Recraft, look, they just added Recraft 4, eh, Runway, GPT, Reves, Z
[08:36] Imag, I mean, all these models are included. Not only that, but you also have camera changes, you have what I'm telling you about variations, you now have a new feature, which is the cinematic shot function, that is,
[08:51] you have a very good range to be able to create both cinematic and advertising videos. Freepic does very well in this respect. You also have very good options in terms of videos. Notice that the runway is already on 4.5, okay? Clean
[09:08] the runway is already on 4.5, okay? Clean 3.0. It's already installed, you already have a lot, you have x2, both the Pro, which is a very good model for creating videos. So, here you have a super global tool, you have to
[09:23] invest something, it has to be Freepack or depending on what you want to do, Hitfield. The same is true for Heitfield; in terms of image quality, they have a huge number of models, including their recently released Hitfit Soul 2.0, which is their
[09:40] native software. For video, they have Clean 3.0, and they also have Grock Image, or rather, Sora 2. What's more, the added benefit of Heitfield, which leans
[09:52] heavily towards cinematics, is that you can create with Cinema Studio 2. You can create variations of videos, cameras, and predefined camera movements. cameras, and predefined camera movements.
[10:05] showed you in Freepik; in fact, Heitfield was the first to offer it: cameras, camera types, lenses, focal lengths, and apertures. This helps focal lengths, and apertures. This helps a lot when creating
[10:18] cinematic images. Prices at Hitfield range from 9 to 125, which is the creator plan. What's going on with Hitfield? They offer many discounts and annual plans, but they are very short. You really need to read the
[10:34] fine print here, okay? Because sometimes they tell you it's unlimited, but it has a time limit. Do you see that it says here that it's unlimited? In other words, if you buy it before February 23rd. However, something recently happened with Hitfield that shook me up
[10:50] a bit because I think it's a very good tool. However, I'm going to suggest it to you and you should study it well, because if what you want to do is make cinematic videos, videos like documentaries, Hitfield is a very good
[11:05] tool. There are also other tools like the ones I've used and the ones I can say work for me; these are the two. Many of us want to make videos where we can have someone narrating or where
[11:21] people talk. There are already models for this, such as Clean, like Beo, where you make or create your videos with a voice. What's happening? You can also create these videos with
[11:33] a voiceover, and then, to maintain consistency, you can create or merge it consistency, you can create or merge it using Even Labs. Even Labs is currently one of the best tools; it's a free plan that gives you 10,000 credits per
[11:46] month, so you don't have to invest in it. Their plan is invest in it. Their plan is relatively inexpensive, costing €5 or €6 need to invest if your workflow is very extensive; if it's very limited,
[12:00] workflow is very extensive; if it's very limited, then the free version of Elevaps will invite you to the free Telegram community, where you can join, we can share, and you'll find the link in the description.
[12:14] find the link in the description. The music undoubtedly used Suno. In the case of Suno, the free plan gives you 50 credits. They say 10 songs, but there are really five. But your problem is that you don't have the
[12:27] commercial use rights for these songs. This will depend on whether you take the risk or not depend on whether you take the risk or not , but their €7.20 plan already gives you 2,500 credits, which is a lot of songs. In fact, the other day I lost I do
[12:40] n't know how many credits because I couldn't spend them all and they give you rights to the songs it uses. Besides, Suno has too many features, too many
[12:52] models that are drying, and it's super good. For me, it's option A. Another option is audio, which is your choice if you want to make instrumentals that are a bit more cinematic. The audio service also has a free plan
[13:07] where you can create some songs, okay? They give you 10 credits, you can generate four songs at once, they have a standard $8 where they give you $24,400 credits more or less the same as one, and the Pro which is $24.
[13:22] one, and the Pro which is $24. Depending on your needs, you can choose any of these plans. However, as I told you earlier, Gemini or Google just released its music feature, "create music," where
[13:36] you have several genres and can create your own music. And another action I want to give you is Hailo. He brought out a want to give you is Hailo. He brought out a music feature. It's superb.
[13:54] The good thing is that it has lyrics in Spanish and the music is really well done. You have a free plan that gives you 10k credits, you can generate 33 songs, so
[14:06] I think it's superb. Then the price goes up to €4.5 or dollars for the goes up to €4.5 or dollars for the creator at level 13 and level 25, which gives you 750 credits where you can create more than 2,500 songs. If you want to try this, it's
[14:22] good. If you want a video where I test which is the best AI tool for music, let me know in the comments because I'd love to. Block six, which is the editing and
[14:35] production of your video. If you're a graphic designer like me and maybe you pay for the full Adobe package, you're going to use Premiere no matter what, because it's awesome, it's an awesome tool. I mean, I use it almost daily, but
[14:50] the thing is, if you're not a graphic designer, you're not going to pay for a whole package just to use Premiere. What is the equally professional and easy-to-use option? Because it has everything and it 's Da Vinci Resolve. Da Vinci Resolve
[15:06] has two paths, the free one and the paid one. The free one goes in the tool and you can use it. You have some free effects, you have a lot of free stuff. The editing is completely free, especially if you want to make
[15:20] Da Vinci will suit you very well because here you can modify everything related to production, including color; it's what you need. In fact, Da Vinci is what top professionals use for all of this. What's happening? If you look, I'm
[15:37] doing well and I want to take advantage of Da Vinci, well, it only Da Vinci, well, it only costs 250, almost 300 euros, but it's
[15:49] for life. You can use all the updates that are released without paying are released without paying anything extra. I love that. I'll pay for it eventually. If you pay for Adobe, you use Photoshop to retouch images, or you can
[16:04] use Illustrator. If you're already paying for a package, then it's included. If not, what do package, then it's included. If not, what do you use? Canva. Currently, free dogs and bought Affinity. Affinity has a couple of tools that replace
[16:19] has a couple of tools that replace Photoshop and Illustrator completely free of charge. So, what free tools do use them. Yes, if you want me to start recording videos of how you can use these
[16:35] tools in Prociafal and on real projects, leave me comments, but it's necessary that the garments to be used. And as I said, Caninity are completely free, although they do have a pro plan. In the case of Canva,
[16:51] yes, because in Canva you have many options to make creations, to make art that you may need for your social networks, for a job, for whatever you want. If you're enjoying this video, please give it
[17:05] a like. Oh, in fact, you'll probably get something that says "hype". Go ahead, spread the word so we can reach more people who might like and be interested in this video. On the other hand, I want to tell you that if you're not subscribed,
[17:19] click the little button I made to subscribe, click the bell icon, and that way you can get notifications when I upload new videos. And there's an extra thing we need when working with AI, which is the Obscaler.
[17:34] What are obscalers? tools that help us improve the quality of our images and videos. And here are two super key options that are the most important today, because they are being updated and are
[17:49] doing a great job, which are Topats and Magnific. Magnificent. magnify your videos as well as your images,
[18:03] but not only on Freepic, because if you decide to go with Hitfield, Hitfield also works with Topats. In fact, here it is. The Topads scaler is available on Freepack, I insist, it's one of the best scalers out there and it's
[18:20] included in your plan. So, you don't have to pay for a tool to be scalable. In conclusion, depending on what you want to do, you should choose which tools you need. And finally, I've created some stacks by
[18:36] budget so you have a general idea of what you can and can't idea of what you can and can't use.
[19:03] are designed for people who want to work seriously with artificial intelligence on real projects, whether it's a personal project like a YouTube channel or an advertising project for
[19:15] clients. In fact, I get messages every day asking, "Hey, what workflow tool do I use for an e-commerce product for a client?" And I will always answer him with what I'm asking you here. However, many
[19:29] people are swayed by free things, thinking, "This is free, this is free," but the truth is that sometimes you have to invest a little to be able to work professionally. Yes, there are many free tools, but
[19:43] the quality is not optimal for presenting to a client. Let's take a little pee here. When you see a video from a YouTuber or content creator who tells you, "This video is optimal." If you show that video to a
[19:55] customer, and they approve , saying it's good or meets expectations, that's where the reality of artificial intelligence comes in . So, you already have the tools, and I ask you, how much
[20:10] can you charge, or how do you calculate the price so as not to give away your work? Because it's not based solely on the price of the tool. Do you want to know this? Leave me a comment because I'm making a video; I already have the information.
[20:26] So, if you want to know how to calculate your prices, if you want to know how to charge so you're not giving away your work and can really profit from the guides, leave me a comment because that video is coming to the channel. And you know, I
[20:42] if you did. If you want to keep learning, here's a video for you to watch, and here's my face so you can subscribe quickly. You know this is the artificial ark. See you. M.
