Overview
This tutorial explains how to create AI vlogs using Google's tool (Google Flow), outlining prompt structure, workflow, and tips for ensuring high-quality, consistent video clips that are popular on platforms like TikTok.
Getting Started with Google Flow
- Access Google Flow via the link in the description to begin creating AI vlogs.
- Open existing projects to reference prompt structure and workflow used for viral videos.
Prompt Structure for Single Character Clips
- Start the prompt with the subject (who), their action (what), camera angle (POV), and environment (where).
- Use a "selfie camera angle" and "shot from extended arm perspective" for POV vlog style.
- Include the dialogue within the prompt in quotation marks after specifying the scene.
- Keep prompts concise; Google's V3 model adds realism with natural speech imperfections.
Workflow and Scene Building
- Generate the first frame using a cheaper image generation tool for perspective testing if on a credit budget.
- Save key frames as assets to maintain visual continuity across scenes.
- Use the scene builder timeline to arrange, crop, and manage video clips for smoother story progression.
- Add new clips by reusing previous frames and prompts to ensure consistency in character and environment.
Troubleshooting and Consistency Tips
- Minor prompt imperfections lead to poor generation; always double-check prompt accuracy.
- Use V3 for highest audio and visual quality; switch from default V2 to avoid credit waste.
- Maintain environmental consistency (e.g., lake, forest) across scenes for believable transitions.
- Use the same prompt and reference images for sequencing longer or multi-clip vlogs.
Multi-Character Prompting
- Clearly distinguish characters and their lines to prevent confusion.
- Structure: describe both subjects, their actions, the shared environment, then list each character’s dialogue.
- V3 handles up to two characters well; avoid more for best results.
Customizing POVs and Advanced Examples
- Adapt prompt for specific camera types (e.g., GoPro selfie stick) by specifying the POV.
- Example structure for viral formats: [character] + [action/POV] + [environment] + [dialogue].
- Reuse and edit previous prompts for new video scenes to maintain style and efficiency.
Exporting and Platform Considerations
- Download compiled video from scene builder after arranging clips.
- Edit aspect ratio (e.g., crop to 9x16) for platforms like TikTok.
- For short-form platforms, generating new scenes is sometimes preferred over saving frames.
Additional Tips and Observations
- Google's V3 model adds natural effects (like breathing) automatically.
- Simple, clear prompts work best; focus on subject, action, environment, and dialogue.
- Save and reuse assets for rapid production of multiple scenes or episodes.
