Today’s update will be pretty short since I didn’t to much today.
Learning
- Creating short tutorial (under 3 minutes)
- Practiced for the video to get better recordings of myself
- Kaiber intro
- chatGPT for youtube description

Process
Woke up this morning and decided that I want to do some exercise since I haven’t done much int he past few days. So opened up "Ring Fit Adventure" on the Switch and played for about 30 minutes. It was fun, but it is pretty hard. Lots of sweat.
Then in the afternoon, I was watching some intro video on Kaiber, the AI auto animate tool. It’s a paid tool and can produce a much longer video than Pika Labs. The animation looks okay, but a bit chaotic. I’m planning to maybe make a music video with it since it’s super random, and could fit music video well.
Short tutorial
Then at night I decided to create the short tutorial on how to create the seamless loop. I had this idea yesterday and spent a bit of time to simplify the method. After several iterations, I’ve found the best way to explain the concept. I realized that adding too much details sometimes might be counter-intuitive. So I cut down a lot of the explanation and only want to show the main steps.
Today I went back to the concepts and started to practice on how I want to deliver the tutorial. Again I went with simplified steps to keep it short. After a few rounds of practice, I started recording. There were some hiccups and I kept having to restarting the recording, but then I remember that I can just cut the part that I don’t like in the final. With that, I did a full 5 minutes recording, and re-do any parts I want in the same recording without restarting. Knowing that I don’t have to restart every time made it much simpler.
The editing was quick and easy, since it was only about 3 minutes. And not sure if it’s because it’s my own explanation or what, but I found the video is very good I like the way I explain things 😆.
Finally I used Microsoft Designers to generate the title card. It took a bit of time since I couldn’t find the design that I like.
Also, I used ChatGPT (3.5) to write the description for the tutorial for me. It’s definitely much better than what I wrote, and it sounded better than Claude too. Then I asked it to re-write the description for yesterday’s tutorial as well, and it did a pretty good job. Although I had to tone it down a little because by default it sounded too enthusiastic for my test.

Thoughts
- Definitely haven’t done as much as I would like today, but that’s okay. I’m still continuing.
- Note: today title image had nothing to do with today’s theme. I just didn’t want the Midjourney credit to go to waste so I generated some random image to represent the "chill day".
