  • 300万退休金被警告有问题?年金还是4%法则,我替你算清楚

    想象一下你离退休只剩五年的时间,你们夫妻两个加在一起,退休账户里存了差不多三百万。按任何的标准来看,这都是一笔非常了不起的数字。你本以为自己已经准备得差不多了,于是你去见了个理财顾问,只是想让对方帮你再检查一遍,看看有没有什么遗漏的地方。结果对方非常严肃地告诉你,你现在的投资方式有几个非常严重的问题,必须立即处理,然后建议你把300万里的三分之一换成CD或者年金。那一晚你可能翻来覆去睡不着,心里一直打鼓:我是不是真的搞错了?

    今天我们就来好好地拆解这件事。顾问说的到底哪一些是对的,哪一些其实是在卖产品?还有在退休前五年的关键窗口期,你真正需要做的决定到底是什么?对于50到65岁正在认真规划退休的朋友来说,我觉得这是一个必须搞清楚的事。退休前的最后几年,每一个资产配置的决定都比你年轻时候的任何一个决定代价都要更高,因为你没有足够的时间去修复可能的错误。

    在我们开始前,我还想唠叨一句:超过75%常来看我们频道的朋友经常忘记订阅,如果你也是其中之一,别急着往下看,给自己一秒钟的时间按下订阅。特别感谢那些在留言区分享他们经验的朋友,常常你说的一句话是别人在人生岔路口找到方向的一盏灯,真的非常感谢你。

    好,我们言归正传。很多人在距离退休五年的时候就会开始有一种非常强烈的冲动,就是要把所有的钱都挪到安全的地方去,觉得只要不亏,那就是赢。这个心情我能理解,但这里有一个非常重要的认知要先建立起来:退休不是终点线,它是另一段旅程的起点,而这段旅程很有可能还有二十年、三十年甚至更长。换句话说,你在63岁退休,你的钱可能需要撑到90岁甚至95岁。从63到90就是27年,所以如果你今天距离退休还有5年,加上退休之后的时间,你的投资的视野实际上是30年以上。这意味着什么呢?这意味着你依然是一个长期投资者,只是你的角色从积累资产慢慢地转向保护并提取资产。这两件事不是非此即彼的,而是需要同时兼顾。

    我开始前面提到的和顾问的事件其实是个真实的例子。我的朋友建国和他的太太,他们的资产是300万,70%在股票里面,30%在债券,这也是从他退休以后他们做的调整,从原本的90%的股票比例降到70%。坦白来说,这个调整方向是对的。但是那个顾问建议他们进一步把三分之一,也就是100万换成CD和年金。这个建议值不值得认真的考虑?我们需要先搞清楚一件更根本的事,那就是你每年到底需要动用多少钱。

    在所有的退休规划的决策里,有一个数字是最核心的,它决定了你的资产配置应该长什么样子,也决定了你需不需要年金、需不需要把钱放进CD。这个数字就是你的年提款率,也就是你每年从你的退休账户里拿出来的钱占你的总资产的百分比。你一定听说过4%的法则。这是1994年一位叫宾根(Bengen)的理财规划师提出来的。他当时回溯了从1926年到他研究的那年之间所有30年跨度的退休的场景,包括了一些最糟糕的年份。最后他得出的结论是,如果你第一年取出总资产的4%,然后每年根据通胀做调整,那么在历史上任何一个时间点开始退休,你的钱都能撑满30年。后来宾根回溯了很多30年退休的场景,里面第一年就算取出5%甚至6%和7%,钱照样能撑满30年。4%在300万上面对应的是多少?是每年12万,也就是每一个月1万的提款能力,这还没有算上你的社安金。

    所以问题来了:如果你的年提款率在4%附近甚至更低,你其实已经在用一种经过验证的方式应对市场的波动的风险。这就是为什么在我们讨论要不要买年金、要不要存大量的现金之前,你必须先把这个数字算清楚。如果你的提款率只有2%、3%,你根本不需要把三分之一的资产换成低流动性的产品。但如果你的提款率已经达到6%、7%甚至更高,那么你确实需要重新地审视整个的结构,而这个不是加一到两个年金就能解决的问题。

    那个顾问之所以让建国一晚上没睡着,是因为他提到一个非常真实存在的风险:sequence of returns risk,也就是收益顺序风险。简单来说就是,如果你刚退休的头几年市场大跌,那么你在最脆弱的时候被迫卖出股票来支付你的生活费,这就会对你后面整个退休生涯造成非常严重的长期的伤害,比你在69岁的时候市场跌同样的幅度的杀伤力要大很多。这个风险是真实存在的,顾问提到这一点没有错。但是解决这个风险的方式,不是把三分之一的钱都锁进年金或者CD,我们有更好的方式。

    第一,你可以控制你的提款率,保持在4%或者更低。第二,在退休账户里保留一到两年的现金或者短期的债券作为缓冲,这样遇到市场大跌的时候,你不需要卖股票,等市场回来以后再补充这笔缓冲金。第三,保持合理的股票的比例,因为股票才是你对抗通胀、让资产在30年里继续增长的核心工具。这三件事加在一起才是处理顺序风险的正确方式,而不是一股脑地把100万锁进一个流动性差或者收益率低的产品里,然后告诉自己已经安全了。

    我们来回到建国的情况,一起把这个画面拉清楚一点。建国今年是63岁,太太60岁,两个人退休账户合计300万,大部分在401(k)里面,只有一小部分在Roth的账户里。他们的社安金,建国打算等到67岁再开始领,太太呢,62岁就准备领。两个人的退休日常生活开销,他们自己估计大概每年8万左右就够了。我们来算一个最简单的数字:8万除以300万,提款率就是2.7%。这个数字意味着什么呢?意味着按照历史上最糟糕的退休场景,他们的钱完全够用,根本不需要防御性地把100万先锁起来。

    更重要的是,他们的Roth账户余额非常少,这才是我看完他们情况之后最想讨论的一件事。因为他们几乎所有的钱都在401(k)这个税前的账户里,等到他们73岁RMD(强制最低提款)一旦启动,每年被迫提出来的钱就要全额按照普通的收入来缴税,而且这个数字会越来越大,同时还会推高他们的综合收入,进而有可能触发医保的附加费,也叫IRMAA。所以当那个顾问在大谈年金和CD的时候,建国真正需要关注的其实是另一件事:在退休这些年龄,他每年是否应该做一些Roth的转换,把一部分税前的401(k)资产转到Roth里面,在现在相对较低的收入阶段提前把税交掉,避免73岁以后被RMD强迫地推进更高税率的陷阱。这才是我们叫的退休的节奏,这里面最关键的时机的决策不是买不买年金。

    我这里不是说年金不好,我只是说这个产品对于建国他太太来说不一定是最合适的。他们的提款率只有2.7%,又有完整的社安金的规划,还有足够的时间做税务的优化。这个产品能解决的问题,对于建国他们来说,用更简单的工具完全就可以做到。比如说靠保守的提款率,比如说合理的社安金的领取策略,再不够还可以搭建一个抗通胀的国债的阶梯,叫做TIPS,它会随着通胀来调整,没有退保的罚金,随时可以卖。不像年金那样把钱锁得死死的,不需要承担年金产品通常带来的高佣金和长达7到10年的退保的罚金。还有一个常被卖方略过的硬伤,就是固定年金对通胀几乎没有任何保护,20年以后,他每个月付给你的那笔钱,购买力会被通胀悄悄地吃掉一大块。

    数据不会说谎,但是卖产品的人有时候可能会选择性地只给你看一半的数字。好,今天我们把这事聊了一圈,我想在最后问一下,在看视频的你,如果你现在正在考虑退休或者已经退休,你最担心的是什么?是市场会跌、是钱不够用、还是税的问题?你可以在评论区告诉我,我会认真看每一条。我还想分享一个观察:很多人不是没有足够的钱退休,而是从来没有人帮他们把这些决定系统地整理过一遍:什么时候该调整资产的比例?什么时候该做Roth的转换、要转多少?什么时候该开始领社安金?什么时候要注意IRMAA的门槛?这些事单独拿出来每一个都不太难,但是叠加在一起放进自己具体的情况里,就需要一点时间认真地坐下来想清楚。

  • 5 Motion Graphics Every After Effects User Should Know

    Are you ready to make the best motion graphics possible and become a rock star?

    If so, here are five tricks in After Effects that will give all your motion design projects that professional edge. All right, this first technique is about creating professional shading and blending to make some very interesting motion graphic soup, if you will. For instance, applying gradients onto your background and perhaps text is a quick, subtle way to create some visual interest. But that concept can be expanded when creating graphics like this star. Just by setting the points to four and messing with the radius value, we can create a really nice baller star. Now, to create some shading, it’s a little bit different. We can just rightclick this layer and go to layer styles and we’ll add our gradient here. This is the best gradient method for shading. This will allow you to set your colors with preferably two colors of the same tonality. And then we’ll be able to go back to our layer styles and add in a bevel and emboss like a boss. Sorry if I say that way too much, but I just like saying it. Just it’s very catchy. But the settings for the style all lay in the color and the blend modes of the bevel and emboss, which should be similar colors to the gradient that you created. And set your modes to screen. This is going to allow you to mix the opacities. And finally, increase the size for the best shading. I think this is a lot of fun to mess around with. So, you know, no exact settings here. However, to take the shading even further, try the inner glow style. And all we need to do is just change the color to one of those emboss colors that we’ve already used and mess with the opacity. You know, no exact settings like I just said. And finally, let’s try outerlow. Choose the other emboss color that we didn’t use and set the blend mode to normal and mess with the opacity and size until you get a nice glow. I suppose looks good. But now finally, let’s apply that OG original glow effect. Increase the radius and this will push up that glow even further. You know, the blending’s all in the layer styles and the animation is up to you. But as a quick tip, we can create custom paths with the pen tool after clicking tool creates mask on your shape layer. And who doesn’t like those squiggly paths? Because all you have to do is when you add a point is click and hold and this will allow you to curve it out. But when your path is created, all you have to do is go to mass path, copy it, and then paste it to your position. You may need to select all the key frames to reposition where the animation should take place, but overall that shape should follow that path, allowing you to create many different duplicates to create an overall unique motion graphic piece and easily produce uniquely cinematic visuals and save time in my After Effects and Premiere Pro templates, drag and drop transitions, animation presets, and powerful motion graphics that you can customize with a few clicks. You can access thousands of templates directly here in After Effects and Premiere Pro where you can edit them to fit your vision in seconds, allowing you to build client ready masterpieces in no time with the link below. And if you do pick up anything, you will be supporting my channel as I don’t do any of those annoying AI sponsorships. So, thank you very much. All right, moving forward with new great ideas is creating 3D orbiting transitions with your 2D motion graphics. So, I have, you know, a handful of different graphics that are already been pre-omposed for some perfect organization. And all I want to do is flip this to the next set of graphics. So, all we need to do is make our layers 3D by slapping in that cube. This will allow us to bring up position by hitting P on our keyboard. And all we need to do is move the Z position forward here to create a little bit of depth. However, it’s great to create some variation by not setting each graphic at the same Z position. And you can scale graphics down to place them back at its original size from our perspective at least. Be sure to follow these steps for both set of graphics. But ultimately, we’re going to want like a simple background graphic to tie both slides together, which can be a box that should also be a 3D layer and place at a Z position of zero. So, you don’t really have to do anything, right? But now, we can go ahead and create a null object, make it 3D, and go straight away to add a key frame for Y rotation. and then move forward to the other set of graphics to set the rotation to 180 degrees. Now this is important. Parent the first set of graphics including the background shape to the null object before that first key frame. Then parent the second set of graphics after the second key frame. And boom. And that’s how to flip your graphics correctly. However, be sure to hide the graphics accordingly by adjusting their end and end points to sweep everything under the rug. absolutely perfect. Keep in mind, you can animate the fill color of your background shape to add, you know, a little bit more lore to the overall transition. All right. Now, to take this concept that we just talked about and juice it even more, we can easily turn boring graphic scenes into random 3D camera shakes. So, again, make your layers 3D and then you can adjust the Z position of everything really quick to have that, you know, nice three-dimensional offset. When that’s done, we can create a camera layer this time around and we’ll add key frames for point of interest and position. Then just move forward here in the timeline and grab the orbit around scene tool. This is going to allow you to change the perspective of the scene directly from the center. Though, keep in mind your central object should have a Z position of zero to kind of keep the eyeballs directly in the middle. Now, when you’re done, you can alt click the stopwatch for these parameters and add the loop out pingpong expression. And I would highly suggest making the key frames easy ease with F9 on your keyboard. Go to the graph editor and pull these key frame handles across like this to create your smooth 3D camera flick. I would also recommend adding graphics to these new open areas to overhaul the detail. But really cool stuff. If you like the idea of orbiting, this is how you make your graphics revolve around a central object. So I have a few graphics here in which you guessed it, you’re going to want to make them 3D layers. This is my central object. And all I’m going to do is position the small objects over the side like so. And now we’ll be able to create a 3D null object and parent one of those side graphics to it. Just one. Then we’re just going to want to offset the Y rotation to help orbit this around just ever so slightly. Then unparent that shape and parent another side graphic to it. And then repeat this process for every shape until you’re done, until it’s like orbiting the entire central object. Great. And when you’re finally done, pairing all the side objects to the null object one last time. And then you’re going to all click the stopwatch and use an expression like time asterric 20 to have this orbit around the master graphic. Great. Now, if you want, you can create a camera layer and use the orbit tool to help angle in a new perspective. However, you may have already noticed that these graphics just don’t want to face us. Maybe we scare them. I don’t know. So select all the side graphics even the central object this time and go to layer transform auto orient and choose orient towards camera. Boom. Problem solved almost. You know there might be some graphics that are still hiding. So all you need to do is just set the wire rotation to 90° and that’s it. You know this is looking really good. You can also create a stroke only circle, make it 3D, and rotate it by 90° that X rotation to create a visual path for your orbiting graphics. Now, we’re on to the final motion graphic, which is the scrolling animation that will repeat forever. I’m actually kind of proud of myself for this one. I went ahead and created seven compositions of the same graphic, just each one has different titles and icons, you know, just basic stuff. But all I’m going to do here to start off is lay out one graphic and vary the size and create a hierarchy and design just with that single graphic. This is going to allow me to add key frames for position, scale, opacity, whatever you want to do. Then all I’m going to do here is animate this in and then follow the design path for each graphic in the stack. But most importantly, I’m going to leave 12 frames of no animation in between each movement so we can actually have it stop. And you can actually just copy and paste the transform properties of the other layers to your main layer here to help save some precious time. Then at the bottom, we’re going to go ahead and animate the graphic out. And that’s about it. I have a lot of key frames here that are all 12 frames apart. Exactly. Now, just add the regular loop out expression to all three key frame parameters. And this should be animated forever along that design that we created. Great. Now, all we need to do is duplicate this animated layer and offset each copy by exactly 1 second. Great. And that should work like so. Now, obviously, you’re going to want to place in your own unique graphic so we don’t use the same graphic every single time. So, to do this, just select one of the layers here in the timeline and alt or option drag your replaceable composition right in. And that’s it. Now, do this for every layer. And that’s how you’re going to be able to create a loopable scroll here in After Effects. Subscribe to be the best and always be creating.

  • 06/20/2026 – Why Your Artistly Images Never Look Right And How to Actually Fix it – RhondaJ

    Hey everybody, it’s Rhonda and in this video we are jumping back into Artistly. We haven’t used Artistly a lot lately and I’ve noticed that I’ve had some questions about um trying to get particular styles inside of Artistly. So I thought we would just do a quick run through of that today. um maybe give you some ideas how you might be able to um get the style you are looking for in Artistly. All right. So, the first thing I’m going to do is I’m going to jump over here to our uh Creative AI prompt library. All right. And this is something that you get access to free when you are a profit society member. So, um you can you get access to thousands and thousands of prompts. There’s just prompts for everything in here. But today I am focusing on like this watercolor style that uh some people seem to struggle to uh get this type of style inside of Artistly. All right. So, I copied the prompt for this birdhouse. And we’re going to jump over here to Artistly, and we’re going to go into the fast AI image designer. And you might typically just come over here to the create from prompt, right? And paste your prompt in and select how many images you want to generate. So, we’ll see what we get there. And you may not get the look you’re going for. See, that doesn’t look anything like this, right? And I see a lot of people get discouraged when they use artistly and the image doesn’t come out looking like what they expected it to. All right. Now, the thing with artistly is, you know, that was just your your basic create from prompt. There are a ton a ton of other tools inside of Artistly here that you can get a different look. So that was just the basic create from prompt under image designer V6. Now if you come over here, slide over just a little bit and use the artistic designer. We can paste that in there. And let’s do two. and I’ll show you that you’re going to get a completely different look just by using a different tool inside of Artistly. So, let’s wait and give this one a second for it to process. Okay, here’s the first one. And you see that is a little bit more watercolor. It’s still different, but like I said, it’s a completely different look than what we got just from the create from prompt tool. this one. And like I said, it may not be exactly what you’re going for yet, but you know, don’t get discouraged inside Artistly. There are a ton of different tools. So, we’re going to look around. And one of the biggest things I found, and I’m going to come back up here to the image designer V6, is the seamless patterns V2. If you click on that, get rid of that. a seamless pattern of starter. Paste your prompt in here, right? And hit create image. This isn’t just for seamless patterns, okay? You can get very, very close to the style you have in your original prompt by using the seamless pattern tool, which I know seems absolutely crazy cuz that’s for seamless patterns, but you don’t have to use it that way. Now, this still isn’t quite what we were going for. And this is a little closer. Okay, it’s a little bit closer. So, you know, those were just three different image generation tools inside of Artistly that I used and we got three completely different looking results from them. Another thing you can try is the AI art illustrator up here at the top. If we click into that, this has a ton of already um mapped out styles for you. Okay, so let’s say right here we have this one that says clip art. We can paste our prompt in there and generate and see what we get. There’s sometimes you have to try a couple different of the styles. Now that is looking a bit closer. That looks pretty good. And you know, you may not ever get the exact style that you’re looking for. You just may not. It’s, you know, you may have to adjust your prompt a little bit. Now, here’s another one. We’re trying a different a different one in here. And there are different like clip art and watercolor styles inside the AI Art Illustrator. So, try a couple of them to get what you’re looking for. But I just want to show you, you know, just because you don’t get what you were looking for in one of the tools doesn’t mean that you can’t do it in artistly. You can look around in here. Now, we did the clip art and the clip art style. Neither one of those were quite what I was looking for. Um, we have this pastoral watercolor style, lush realistic water style. I think I’m going to go for the intricate pastor pastoral. We’ll try that one roll up and see what we get. But the beauty of Artistly is the fact that it is, you know, a one-time purchase. We don’t have um we don’t have to worry about necessarily running out of credits or tokens um while we’re experimenting in here. And I do like to use artistly for experimentation because of that. You know, I can run a bunch of different prompts and test them in different ways. So, that one definitely not what we have here. So, we can keep trying. And like I said, you know, we may never get exactly what we’re looking for. Um, just that’s the nature of the beast with different AI image platforms and the generators and let’s go with lush realistic. See what that gives us. But even if you don’t get exactly what you were hoping for, you may come up with something that looks similar or better to you, you know. So, don’t don’t get laser focused on having it have to be exactly like um maybe the example you saw somewhere else. This came out looking really nice. This is under the pastoral watercolor style. Um I wasn’t a fan of the first one, but the second image it generated looks pretty good. I like that. And now we are in the realistic. And you can always click on the image view to see which uh style you used. So if you want to go back and use that style again, you absolutely can. This is the lush realistic. I’m not feeling this one as much as I like this one here. And I absolutely love this one coming from the artistic designer. I think that one looked really good. And so did this one out of Seamless Patterns B2. I thought that one came out really nice. So, we’ll try a couple more of these in here. And you know what? I’m not really um doing too much. I just want to show you that you have a lot of different options in here where you can look through and pick some different styles and see if any of them give you what you’re going for. And down here is watercolor style. go with that one real quick. See what we get. And I think while that one’s running, I’ll come up here and I’ll scroll down because I saw watercolor portrait. That might be another one. And we’ll have a look at those. Okay, this was the watercolor style. And that looks pretty good. Like I said, it’s a little different, but at the same time, it is a nice style in and of itself. The watercolor portrait is very nice as well. That one looks good. And you know, I just trying to show you that even though you may not get exactly exactly what you expected or exactly what you were hoping for, you can get close. And you don’t always have to have something doesn’t have to have be exactly the way you saw it in another image. You know, it’s it all comes down to the model someone used, the prompt someone used. So AI images are always going to vary to some extent. All right? But you can come in here and find a lot of different styles that you may be able to use to get at least close to what you were hoping for. You know, don’t just use one and think h I just can’t get that look in artistly because you really really can. You really can. Let’s come back here to the ones we’ve done. So this was our original. Okay, this is and this one was created with uh Nano Banana 2 inside of uh render studio. So this is what Nano Banana 2 gave us. And like I said, it’s not exact over here, but that is the difference in different image generation models. You know, they don’t all do things exactly the same, but you can get close and you can get really nice results. Um, I like this one. I liked this one a lot, you know. So, if you are an artistly user, and this is where I usually get this question is from people who use Artistly exclusively that they come in and they use just one or two of the tools and they’re like, I can’t get that look in Artistly. Look around a little more. You may be able to get it. you just haven’t experimented with enough of the different tools in here, uh, the different styles. They also have the Artistic Designer V2, which is different from the original artistic designer. You can try that one. Um, we have this one says photo realism. I don’t even know. I’ve never really tried this one much, so I’m going to run it just in case. Like I said though, run your prompt in a few of the different tools and see which one gives you the best result, closest to what you were hoping for. Now, this is the photo realism, so this isn’t really going to give you what you were expecting. Uh, this is Artistic Designer V2, which gives you a lot of that nice, uh, flowy, blendy watercolor there. This one doesn’t look bad either. It has the flowy watercolors. Um, see what else is in here. Are there any others in here that I before image designer? This is an older one, an older model that you can try it and see what happens. You just never know. Uh, sometimes you’ll end up with something that works better in an older older model. Not a fan of that. But if you are an artistly user, don’t write it off, you know, don’t just say, “Ah, I can’t get what I want in artistly.” Um, look around. Use some of the different styles and try it out. I think you’ll be surprised with, you know, what you can actually get in here. Um, so like I said, you may never match your style exactly, and that’s okay. That is okay. I think people get hung up on that. They go to Etsy, they search around, they find a competitor shop that has, you know, like a best-selling clip art bundle and they look at the style and they think that they have to have that exact that that they have to match that exactly. And that’s not the case. You know, if it’s a watercolor, that’s great. And you can get watercolor look from Artistly. You can get it from pretty much every image generation model out there. Will it look exactly the same as the ones you were just looking at on Etsy? Probably not. Because without the specific prompt someone used and without knowing the specific image generation model they used, it is very difficult to duplicate something down to the tea. And that’s not what you want to do anyway. You you are using competitor research for inspiration, not to copy. Okay? So I I can’t stress that enough. I I just get so many uh messages and you know questions about well this is what I saw here and I just can’t get that exact look. Well, stop trying. Stop trying to um completely copy a style. You know, you look at it, you know it’s watercolor, you know it’s this, you know it’s that. That’s great. It doesn’t have to look exactly like the one you were looking at on a competitor’s site. All right. But again, this was really more about um Artistly users who message me and say, “I just can’t get this look in Artistly.” Try, you know, check out a bunch of the different tools. You may be very surprised with what you can get. You know, look at all these different looks we got for this birdhouse. And we never left Artistly. We just used different styles that they already had preset. We used different tools and we got some very very nice results. Very nice results. Um this is a beautiful birdhouse right here and this is just done in the watercolor portrait. Um this one here is the pastoral watercolor, you know. So try different styles, try different tools, and I think you will be pleasantly surprised with what you really can do inside of Artistly. All right, so if you have any questions, drop them in the comments. Uh feel free to stop by and join our private community. You get daily pros, daily tips on ways to help uh grow your Etsy shop and things like that. So, as always, I appreciate you guys so so much for watching and I’ll see you in the next video.

  • 06/20/2026 – The Secrets to High End Motion Design in After Effects – SonduckFilm

    Let this be your guide for producing the best motion graphics ever. Here’s all the secrets that I know to create any massive 3D scene right here in After Effects. So, no holding back and let’s get started. Okay, low key, if you asked me 2 years ago if this would be possible to create an After Effects, you know, I just be like, “No, go away.” However, large 3D scenes like this are actually very easy to produce once you know these steps. And that first step is basic layout. So, just like any 3D scene, I would usually start it with a floor by using the plane tool to draw out a very large rectangle like so. Then, all we need to do is set the X rotation to 90° and set the Y position to the height of your composition, which in my case is 1080. And, you know, that’s an important note for later. But, let’s go ahead and scale this up like crazy. And we can change the floor color to anything. though I want to set the roughness to 100% and the metallic to zero to really get that true exact color. Now, even though we have a floor, I like to go ahead and create an elevated base for our graphics to actually sit on, or in this specific example, we’ll create the layout via city blocks. Now, you might be tempted to use the mesh tools to create 3D objects, but I find it so much easier to use the rounded rectangle tool to create those beautiful curves as you can easily adjust the roundness. All you need to do is make your shape layer 3D, rotate it by 90°, and then from here, we can slightly increase the extrusion depth, and set the Y position down to essentially clip into the floor. So, it’s sitting on the floor like so. Now, of course, the next thing I would do is roughly set your camera angle before going too far. So, just create a camera and then create a null object in which you’ll need to make that null 3D and you can parent the camera to it. From here, we can use any of the camera tools to essentially dolly out the scene. Rotate your camera to help, you know, visualize that main camera angle. And if you use the rotation of the null object, you can help angle your scene more precisely if needed. But figuring out your angle now will help you determine the scale of your scene. So, back to building the layout of everything. If we come here to the 3D shape layer that we created, firstly, sizing and scale is so important. So, making this main base 12,200 pixels is great. and we can go ahead and duplicate it. And from here, we can come here to the base size of that duplicated shape and increase it even further. Then we just want to lower its position so that it’s just sitting on the floor to help create multiple layers of depth on what would be considered a single object here. And we can take this even further by doing another duplicate of that original shape, setting it to stroke only by turning off the fill and enabling stroke. We can also use a stroke width of say 100 and again increase the base size to really build on that depth with this three layered single object. You know the subtle design tricks is everything when it comes to motion graphics. Now you can obviously duplicate these objects and move them over to create more bases or city blocks if you will. Though I would recommend using two views with the second view set at the top. And if you click draft 3D, this will enable you to use extended viewer to see beyond the composition. So, for example, you could easily increase the base size of your duplicates to create larger city blocks and then reposition them to build out your perfect city or just motion graphic layout in no time. And when it’s all said and done, this layout and camera trick will allow you to create something awesome in a few moments. You know, we’re set up for success. But first, you can easily produce awesome visuals and save time my After Effects and Premiere Pro templates, drag and drop transitions, animation presets, and powerful motion graphics that you can customize with a few clicks. You can access thousands of templates directly here in After Effects and Premiere, where you can edit them to fit your vision in seconds, allowing you to build client ready masterpieces in no time with the link below. And if you do pick up anything, you will be supporting my channel as I don’t do any sponsorships here. So, thank you very much. Okay, next up is building the meat of your scene. You know, the actual, you know, prime rib, if you will, with actual 3D graphics. For instance, we can get a handful of free 3D assets from Adobe Stock and other sources when you just search for free 3D models. But keep in mind, you can import OBJ, GB, glTF, and FBX 3D models directly into After Effects. So, with all these formats, you should be good to go with whatever you’re looking for. With all that said, I typically start by importing a central master model first and slap maycom size when asked. Now, since we know that our floor is set to 1080, any 3D model should have their Y position set to 1080 as well, so that it sets directly on the floor. And then be sure to scale your model as needed. From here, I usually like to import a few other small models and briefly lay them out around the scene. And again, my biggest tip before we go too deep into building out an entire scene, I like building out the lighting now so that we can visualize the end result. You know, as you know, lighting is like the most important thing, right? So, with big scenes like this, I personally go right to the environment light with shadows enabled, of course. Okay. And if you can’t tell right off the bat, I’m really concerned with shadows. You know, that’s what I care for the most. Ideally, I like to adjust the wide position of the light to help angle the shadows more or less towards our current view. However, I highly suggest searching for free HDRs or images that have high contrast like this, you know, and then if I come here to the light source and attach the image to it, the shadows become more contrasted and the overall composition changes by a lot. Now, you might want to adjust the intensity of the light. But most importantly, make sure that all your objects, including those shape layers, have shadows enabled and set the floor to have cast shadows to off. So important. But overall, the reason why I like doing lighting before I lay out everything is, you know, if a client wants to see the progress of your project, at least you’ll be able to show them something polished or at the very least you’ll keep your own insanity at check because you’re doing something awesome. But now to build out the rest of your scene with 3D objects, I would go ahead and click draft 3D to keep your computer span from sounding louder than a Boeing 737 H. But most importantly, this is where you can have some fun laying out all your 3D objects just by positioning them around the scene and making sure that they’re sitting directly on the floor. Feel free to duplicate and reuse the same objects. You know, it’s kind of like, you know, video game development where you see like the same buildings like a hundred times or the NPC over and over again. But as a great tip, be sure to scale and rotate these objects to help create some variety. Though, also consider adding objects just outside of your actual view so that when we actually go to animate the camera, we can see an extended scene. The main takeaway is that the more detail that you get, the more valuable your overall composition becomes. So, just have fun with it. And like I said, it’s just absolutely mind-blowing to create things like this in After Effects. Never knew this was going to be possible. But, okay, we’re actually very close to being done with this. We just now have the finishing touches like adding 2D graphics into our 3D scene like these road markings. For example, we can use the rectangle tool to draw out a rectangle. Right? And inside the shape layer, we can use a repeater to create those quick copies. Then use a transform repeater to position them apart accordingly. And when you’re ready, make the layer 3D, rotate it by 90°, and set it Y position one point higher than the actual floor, which is 1079. And this is going to allow you to position and duplicate everything to fill up your scene with 2D graphics. And what I like about the repeater is that this will allow you to add as many lines or shapes that you need along the road. So that’s just very convenient. But do me a favor, turn off cast shadows for any 2D graphic that you’re using right here. I find this actually helps with producing, you know, consistent shadows. But however, if shadows don’t actually appear when they should, just go ahead and restart After Effects. For a recap, that’s how you add 2D graphics to your 3D scene. But the next finishing touch is colors and materials. Something that is probably the most important thing, right? So with some 3D objects, you should be able to change the color directly in After Effects when you attach a material to them. When you click this icon here and you go to Adobe’s community assets, uh we’re going to look for a metallic roughness PBR material. And when we attach this to an object, we can easily change the color to it. And that’s it. Keep in mind, you can sometimes apply materials to specific parts of a model. And if you click unlink, this will duplicate that already used material, allowing you to customize it independently from the previous version. Now, if you got your models from, say, Adobe Stock, you could actually open them in Adobe Dimension and apply materials directly to them here and change their color. This actually might be Adobe’s like easiest platform ever, but when you’re ready, just save them and overwrite them as a glTF or OBJ and this should automatically update here inside of After Effects. But awesome stuff. This looks great. And now we want to talk about animation because we can just key frame the position or scale of any 3D object. Say like these cars, which I’ll just position animate them. And if we want one of these cars to come to like a stop, I’ll make that last key frame easy with F9 on my keyboard. and go to the graph editors to smooth out that final motion. Additionally, we can key frame the rotation of the null object that our camera is parented to to kind of have the movement orbit around the center of your scene. Or you’re also welcome to key frame the camera’s position and point of interest to create your own unique movement. And finally, try using depth of field inside of your camera. Just be sure to mess with the aperture and blur level to blur out your final motion graphic. Though focus distance is your friend to perfectionize the scene. And for the absolute last touch, quality and shadows, just come here to renderer options. And right off the bat, you don’t need a high render quality setting at all. But dialing in the shadow quality is up to you. I find the most important setting is actually the casting box size. This essentially should be set to the size of the overall scene to perfectly emit shadows across the entire body of work. Now, with that said, great work. Subscribe to be the best and always be creative.

  • 06/20/2026 – The Mockup Trick That Makes Your Designs Look More Realistic – RhondaJ

    Hi everybody, it’s Rhonda and in this video we are going to be working inside of photo. Uh photo.com is an online image editor uh similar to Photoshop. Okay, and it is 100% free. Um you do have an option for a premium account if you want it. It is extremely extremely cheap. um if you just don’t like seeing ads over here on the right side of your screen because it is ad supported. All right. So, we are going to be talking about mockups in this video. And I had some questions in my community the other day about what to do when you have a mockup similar to this one where there’s a hand that’s, you know, in front on the front of the t-shirt that, you know, may uh interfere with your image design. Like, let me show you real quick what I’m talking about. Um, let’s say you have this design. Make sure it’s on top here. And when you make it larger, let’s rotate that. You see how it is over top? Let me zoom in a little. It’s over top of that thumb. Okay. And obviously, that’s not what you want when you are creating mock-ups. Okay? So, I thought I’d show you an easy way to um take care of this issue using photo pay. So, I’m going to get rid of I’m actually just going to turn this off for now. No, let’s just get rid of it. Okay. So, we have our mockup here, our blank mockup, and this thumb is in the way. All right. So, what we’re going to do is we’re going to come over here to our lefthand panel and we’re going to grab our magnetic lasso tool. All right, it’s right here. And you can rightclick it to get the different options. All right, and I’m selecting the magnetic. Make sure your layer, your background here is selected. And then just come along here and just go right along the edge of this thumb. Okay. And you don’t need much of it. All right. You just need to get this little piece of the thumb right there. Okay. And then I’m going to go up here to select and I’m going to have modify. And I’m going to select feather. And I think I’m going to make it about five pixels. And I’m just going to select okay. Now what we’re going to do is I’m just going to hit control J on my keyboard. Oops, I made a couple of them there. Got a little carried away, didn’t I? And all controll J does is make a copy of what you selected. Creates a new layer. So now if I turn off this background, you see there’s our thumb, right? So now what happens? You have your layer here. Now I’m going to call this I’m going to name this thumb. Okay? And that should always be on top. So now if you bring in a design, let me drag and drop a design in here and let’s make it larger and let’s rotate it like we normally would. And again, if we stick it in the design here, it’s on top of that thumb. But if we grab our thumb layer now over here on the right and just drag that to the top. Now you see our design is behind the thumb exactly how you would want it to be if you know to make it look a little bit more realistic. So that’s all you do uh to work with mockup blanks such as this. You know, if you have a a mockup and it has a thumb or a finger or something that may go over your design and you want to make it look a little more realistic, that’s how you do it. Just come in here to photo pee, use your magnetic lasso, make a little copy of that thumb, turn it into another layer, and place it on top. All right. I know this was a really short video, but this was it’s a really simple process. So, if you have any questions, um, drop them in the comments. You know, you can do this in, uh, Photoshop, you can do it in Canva, you can do it, you know, in a multitude of different, uh, programs. I just typically use Photo P for things like this. So, I thought I’d show you how to do it in there. All right, so if you have any questions, again, drop them in the comments. Thanks so much for watching. I appreciate it more than you know.

  • 06/20/2026 – Product vs Audience Based Shops Which One Should You Choose – RhondaJ

    Hi guys, it’s Rhonda and today I wanted to talk to you a little bit about uh two different ways that you can build your Etsy or your, you know, personal uh shop where you sell your digital files. Okay? It doesn’t matter if it’s Etsy, if it’s on your own website, if it’s on Shopify, if it’s on a stand store, Gumroad or Makers page, anywhere. Um I just thought we’d talk a little bit about two different ways that this can be done. All right. And you know, understanding which one you want to go with is really, really going to help you in the long run. So, it really comes down to two different types of shops. Are you going to have a productbased shop or an audience-based shop? Okay? And you know, there’s differences, right? A productbased shop means that you’ve picked one type of product and you go all in on it. All right? So, let’s say you sell Tumblr wraps. That’s your thing. Every listing in your shop is a Tumblr wrap. Different themes, different styles, different holidays, but it’s always Tumblr wraps. Your buyers know exactly what they’re getting when they find you. Your SEO all points to the same thing, and you get really fast and really good at making that one product. You know, same way if you just do um PNG designs for t-shirts. You’re not selling Tumblr wraps and clip art and, you know, different things. You are selling t-shirt designs. That’s it. You go wide within that one format. You know, tons of themes, tons of niches, but the product type stays the same. And the upside to that is that your shop looks clean and focused, and people who need that specific thing tend to trust you faster because you clearly know what you’re doing. Okay. Now the only downside to a productbased shop would be if um demand for that particular product you know started to cool off you know let’s say you know not as many people were creating sublimation tumblers you know then you feel it across your entire shop at one time. All right and then the next type of shop is an audience-based shop. That means instead of picking one product type, you’ve picked one type of person and you make everything they could possibly want. Let’s say uh you are making products. You’ve chosen dog lovers as your audience. Okay? So, you might sell them uh sublimation designs. You might sell uh clip art. You might sell SVG cut files. You might sell Tumblr wraps and t-shirt designs, all different product types, but every single one of them is related to dogs. So, somebody who might be obsessed with their golden retriever who lands in your shop and it feels like everything in your shop is made for them. They’re not buying one thing and leaving. are probably grabbing the tumbr wrap design, the clip art set, and the SVG for their Cricut machine because it all fits within what they love. Uh you let’s say book lovers, you know, that would work the same way. Your shop could have bookish sublimation designs, uh reading themed SVGs, um you know, cozy library clip art, uh book book club, uh t-shirt designs. So, a totally different file types, but every single buyer in that shop is there because they love books or they love dogs. They will probably browse longer, they’ll buy more, and they come back whenever you add new stuff. Okay? And I just wanted to explain the difference between those two kind types of shops because you know we talk about niches and you know things like that all the time and a lot of times people get confused and like I said you know there’s your product based niche and then there’s your audience-based niche. So they’re two completely different things and you just have to decide which one is for you. You know, neither one is the wrong choice. They just work differently. You know, product based shops are easier to get started. Uh you learn one type of format really well. You know, one set of specs, one workflow, one type of mockup. And you know, if you’re new to creating digital files files, this is a really, really solid way to build your confidence fast and your shop fast. audience-based shops, you know, they take a little more thought up front because you actually have to understand who your buyer is, but then they also tend to uh build a stronger loyalty and higher cart totals because people may pick up multiple items in one visit. And you know, the thing that ends up hurting a lot of people is that they try to do both without making either one of them really intentional. you know, selling Tumblr wraps and dog clip art and book SVGs and Christmas t-shirt designs with no real thread connecting any of it. Now, that’s a shop that’s going to feel random, and shops like that are really, really hard to grow. All right, you you don’t have to be perfect right out of the gate, but at some point, you do need to make a choice about which direction you’re heading. you know, you you need to um figure out which direction you want to go in, which direction um makes you happy, you know, but you have to pick a lane, you know, you have to pick one or the other because trying to do it all is just going to create chaos and you’re always going to feel like you’re spinning your wheels. All right? So, you know, before you sit down to make your next batch of designs, ask yourself honestly, am I building around a product or am I building around a person? Both work, but you need to actually pick one and be intentional about it. All right, so that’s all I really wanted to talk about today. I just see so many people um struggling to decide which direction to go. So, I thought I would, you know, throw up this quick little video for you and, you know, hope that it helps you decide which direction you want to go in. You know, and if you need help deciding, you know, absolutely come join us in uh my private community. There’s always people there to help answer questions and help steer you in the right direction. you know, help you make those choices that you need to make. So, you know, come on over, hang out with us in the community and, you know, we can help you work through which type of shop you want. If you have an existing shop, we can help, you know, help you brainstorm ways to, you know, steer into one direction or the other. All righty. So, I hope you guys found this video helpful. So, I hope it explained, you know, the difference between a product based shop and an audience-based shop and it gives you a little bit of clarity on uh, you know, which direction you may want to go with yours. If you have any questions, you know, always drop them in the comments. I’ll answer them as soon as I can. And you know, thanks so much for watching and I hope to see you guys in the next

  • 06/20/2026 – Learn How to Recreate A Design Style With ChatGPT – RhondaJ

    Hey everybody, it’s Rhonda and in this video I want to talk to you a little bit about how you can um speed up the process of finding a prompting style that you like. Okay. I’m here on Etsy and I’m looking at uh different clip art and let’s say, you know, I’m scrolling through here and I see some clip art, you know, that is selling very well. Now, I don’t want to copy them, right? I don’t want to just uh look at their product and copy that exactly, but I may want to use that style in other clip art products. All right. So, for instance, I’m looking at this uh coastal reef treasures here. And I’ll open this up. And I really, really love the style of these uh sea creatures or coastal creatures. And I’m just going to scroll through here a little bit and I’m going to look at some of these different images that they have. And what I’m going to do is I am going to take just one image. All right. Like this lobster. That one really I think um shows the overall style really well. So what I’m going to do is I’m just going to take a screenshot of that lobster right there. and I copy it. And then I take it over here to chat GPT and I paste that in. And I ask chatgpt to give me a prompt for that design style. Give me a prompt for this design style. Be specific with colors and look. All right. And that’s all I tell it. And now what it will do is it will give me a prompt, a starting prompt. And what I’ll do now is I’ll copy that prompt and then I’ll ask GPT to create this image just to make sure it is looking in the style that I expect it to. Okay. Now, I want to make sure I point out that a lot of times I’ll have people messaging me and saying, “Hey, I found this really cool style I liked and when I went to create it, it doesn’t look anything like what I thought it would.” Now you have to keep in mind that each image generation model out there whether you know you’re using Canva or Artistly or Nano Banana or um ideoggram or any one of the number of image generation models all of them are a little bit different and all of them have what I would say their weaknesses and their strengths. you know, some do certain styles better than others. Uh, some listen to your prompt better than others. So, you have to keep that in mind that even though you may get a prompt for the style you want, you know, it may not be exactly what you were expecting depending upon your image generation model. So sometimes you just have to do some, you know, troubleshooting, some trial and error and try your prompt in different models and decide which one gives you the better results. So we’re going to give this a minute here and let this finish quick. Here we go. And that looks pretty darn good. It is not exactly, but actually it is. That’s really good. I like that. Okay. So now what I’m going to do is I’m going to keep this prompt because that was great. It came out looking very similar. I we didn’t have any of the blue in there, but overall the style is very similar. So I’m very very happy with that. So what I’m going to do now is I’m going to make sure I have that prompt copied. And then I’m going to come over here into render studio and I’m going to go into the prompt scaler and I’m going to paste that prompt in because remember I don’t want to copy. So I’m not making uh coastal sea life. What I’m going to do in here is I’m going to ask uh my prompt scaler my prompt scaler here in render studio to scale this prompt out for different subjects. All right. So, scale this prompt for let’s say spring. Let’s No, no, let’s go with uh um let’s go for I have it in my head and you know my brain and my mouth and my fingers just aren’t cooperating this morning. Um succulents. There we go. That’s what I wanted. Succulents in pots. um various shapes and types and even and even colors. Okay. So, I’m going to get some completely different prompts here um for different succulents and pots, different shapes, different types, different colors. Um but it should all remain in that same style that we just asked for. And once I get these, I’m going to copy all of them. Okay. So, we’re going to come over here to render studio into the image generator. And I’m first going to choose Flux 2 Klein because that’s a really cheap and affordable model. And we’re going to run all 10 of these prompts at the same time in our bulk mode. And we’re going to see what we get from there. Does it give us the style that we were looking for? So, we’ll give it a few minutes. Here we go. That’s the first one. And that looks nice. I’m not sure it’s exactly what I was looking for, but it is a great This one looks really good. I like that one. And we’re going to let this finish and run the last 10 and see or the la the last of the 10 and have a look. These came out really nice. I’m actually really really liking these. Okay, so they’ve all generated and they all came out very, very nice. I would not say they’re exactly um what I was going for. If you look, this is the original style and then this is what uh GPT had given us. So there’s a little bit of a difference. So I would probably choose another um model. And I’m going to go with Nano Banana 2 this time and run them. Now, you don’t have to run all 10 prompts to test this. I just like to do that. You can pick one or two of them and choose an image generator to test and see which one gives you the best uh versions. But I’m just running all 10 because it’s easier for me to do it that way. And who knows, I might want to use all of these for something else. Okay. So, here is our first nano banana. And that one looks a little better. I really like that you’re getting like this watercolor um bleed in here, like ink bleed, which is very close to what we wanted. So, I am really liking, like I said, so far the Nano Banana 2 version. We’ll see what we get as it generates more. That one is really good. I love that. So anyway, this is really about how you can get those styles that you find. You see something on Etsy or someplace and you’re not looking to copy the image. You know, if you find um you know, crabs, you know, clip art crabs in a certain style, you don’t want to copy that style and then turn around and put up a set of clip art crabs that look just like it. But it’s a great way to take a popular style and turn it into something else. Like I went with succulents. You know, succulents are always a popular item. So, I thought that would work well with that particular style as well. So, that’s how you do it. It’s really, you know, something that isn’t that difficult. You just grab that sample image, give it to chat GPT, tell it what you want it to do. You want this style with this, you know, be specific with the colors and the overall look and vibe of the image. And then you can turn it into something else. You know, you can take this starter prompt here and you can actually let’s um let’s do this. Let me get all the way down here to the bottom. You paste that prompt in. Do do not generate an image. Turn this prompt into a template. Okay. And then what it will do is turn this into a template for you. So it’s a hand painted watercolor, whatever. And you can change the colors and all that stuff in it. So, you know, you can do it that way or you can do what I did and you can even ask chat GPT to do this scale this prompt for different um subjects. Uh let’s say in here it’s giving us a whole list of uh ideas. So, different subject here we go instead of different subjects different scale this for birdhouses. keep the overall vibe but change up the colors some. And then just paste that big prompt in and chat GPT will give you more prompts only. These will be all birdhouses. Okay. So, let’s And I only had it do one, but if I would have asked it for multiple, it would have given me multiple. So, this just I love these. I love these in nano banana. They look absolutely amazing. That works great. So now what I’m going to do is I am going to paste this birdhouse prompt in here. And I’m going to try a GPT2 as my image model. And like I said, you should really test out a few different image generation models to find the one that gives you um the style you’re looking for. Some are stronger at things. Um one 2.6 six is very strong with watercolor. Um, and yet, uh, like Quinn image 2512 is better with realistic images, you know, and some of them just have their own kind of styles built right in that are a little bit different than what you might be going for. So, don’t take a prompt, run it through one model, and just decide that it didn’t work, okay? because you can um try different models to get what you’re looking for, you know, and you can spend time, you know, tweaking your prompts if you want. If uh you know, you think you can get a better result that way, do so. And but I just wanted to show you how, you know, how easy it really is to um take a style you see and turn it into something different that, you know, you can use that style for your own designs. That is really pretty. These birdhouses are absolutely stunning. That is going to make, you know, that would make another amazing set of clip art. All right. So, that’s how you do it. That’s how you take a style you like and get a prompt for that style and then turn it into, you know, different subjects, different themes that you want to create. All right. So, if you have any questions, let me know um to the community. Uh join us there. And as always, thanks guys for watching and I hope to see you is in the next video.

  • 06/20/2026 – I Made the Most Cinematic Transitions for After Effects & Premiere Pro – SonduckFilm

    I just made the most cinematic transitions ever right here for After Effects and Premiere Pro. These transitions are just a drag and drop and boom, you can make all your edits cinematic in moments. All right, aside from my free duck pack transitions that are in the description below, I’ve just built a collection of over 800 unique transitions that are of course all housed in this extension panel. All it takes to use this is to hover over a transition to preview it and double click or you can just drag and drop it right into the timeline. And you ask me that’s a cinematic transition. Now when I say these are cinematic transitions, let me explain while I showcase this in After Effects because we got many categories to use like these beautiful film burns that will come in several variations. And in After Effects, we can click the check mark icon and the transition will be applied at the playhead just like so. And this can be easily moved as the cut marker indicates where to place the transition. Now, if you need something with a, you know, a little more character, the trendy transitions have a bunch of different categories like marker and tape, paper, paint, and even a photo collage that just looks awesome. And essentially, these assets provide a lot of detailed elements within the transition. On a serious note, if we need to take it back a notch, there are of course retro transitions that give your edits a throwback feel. For projects that need graphics, well, there’s over 100 object transitions that come with, well, an object. So, say you can use an airplane to tie two aviation clips together. Now, of course, you can add in your own objects for a transition as well, but we’ll take a look at that a little bit later. And finally, the last category host a bunch of creative transitions like camera effects, fire, film strips, 3D boxes, and somehow Counterstrike gaming transitions. I don’t know, that’s just really cool. However, most importantly, you’ll notice as I import transitions, each transition automatically comes with its own sound effect. Let’s go ahead and take a quick listen. Overall, this just saves so much time if you want a sound effect, and it adds that extra value. And of course, you can delete the sound effect by alt-clicking and deleting it. And if you use After Effects, you can just mute the audio like so. No problem. Now, as I build out my edit with even more transitions, if you want to use the same transition more than once, you can either reimpport it or you can just copy and paste all the elements and align them to the cut of two clips. And let’s say you only want to use a transition for in or out only. You can cut and delete the first or second half of a transition and move the remaining elements over like this for a complete edit. Let’s take another look.

    So, there’s a lot of options here to make really themed edits if you want to just use the same sort of transitions over and over. But, it’s important to note that these transitions can also be used for vertical resolutions. Let me just import this camera transition. And you’ll just notice how responsive the transition is to the new format, which is great. And yes, this will also work for 4K UHD sequences as well as you can see. Now, aside from transitions, I have also included many different cinematic effects to help complement the transitions if you want to add some style throughout the entire edit. Now, just like before, I can drag and drop these Prisma effects on top of footage and no problem. However, there are a few categories like the old film frames and brush mats that work like noarts, meaning you import them right into the timeline and then you can open the properties panel to essentially drag and drop your footage in to actually use the effect. And as a result, you can change the parameters and everything associated with the effect to customize it for a unique look. But for a personal touch, my favorite effects are under the retro overlays, which include all the vintage effects like CRT, VHS, and more to throw back your edits. But now, let’s take a step back and talk about object transitions. Because if you wanted to use a logo for your transition, well, you can do that when you use the custom object transition. And from here, you would just alt or option click the top layer and then use the placeholder in the properties panel to drop in your own image. And bam, you can easily transition in with your pet duck. You know, he’s just a baby. And aside from the transitions and effects, I also included a few cinematic titles that will animate on with a blur. You can easily change out your text, change the font, and even control the in-n-out duration to use these titles. Anyway, everything you see here is for both After Effects and Premiere Pro. And this is a part of our over 100 packs that we have. So if you do pick up the pack, thank you so much for supporting the channel and all the tutorials that I produce. And always be creating.

  • 06/20/2026 – Free Gemini Omni Trick – 100% Working – Yash AI Guy

    All right, everybody. In this video, we’re going to talk about how you can remove the watermark that you have been seeing or you’ve been getting on your videos created using Gemini Omni. I know there’s a lot of hype about it. A lot of people are using it. Probably you are using it as well. That’s why you’re watching this video. So stay till the end because I will be giving you the copy paste commands that will actually I’ll show you the before and after results as well that will properly without any blurs or without some crazy techniques or whatever it is with clean cut how it can remove that weird star watermark that appears even with the pro subscriptions of Gemini Omi. So stay till the end and I know it’s been a while I was on vacation we’ll talk about that as well but Yash is back. yesterday back with some uh cool crazy updates just like this one. All right, so let me show you a video created using Gemini Omni, right? Um a before video and I’ll show you the after video, right? I’ll just pause. I’ll just play. You’ve been uh one second. Check this out. So, you’re probably seeing this this kind of stuff, right? Where it has this uh star kind of watermark, right? Which is weird, right? Which is we don’t want it even with pro subscription. It is coming with Gemini app, right? So, let me show you the after one, right? Check this. This is the after version. Check this out. There’s no watermark. If you can see it, right? There’s literally no watermark. There’s no zooms or anything like that, right? And that’s a that’s a beautiful part, right? And the way we going to we achieved it is with reverse alpha blending technique. And I’m giving you the copy paste command or the code that you can just give it your 30 secondond video, 20 second video, 8second clips or combine clip and it will remove the watermark. I hope that is clear. So what you have to do first of all right uh is uh download the file that I’m giving. So you’ll you’ll find it inside the school community. You can join it in the link below. So it’s it appears it it will be something like this. So I have uh one version for Mac and one version for Windows. So it will appear something like this. It’s a zipped version. And then when you unzip it, it will appear like this. If you open it, it has all the codes and guides and the skills and like the setup and the the entire code there. Right? If you’re on Mac, it will work on Intel chips and Mac silicon chips as well. If you are on Windows, it will work for ARM 64 uh GX 64 chips and everything. Right? So now you need to use any agent, right? Cuz it only works on CLI, which is terminal. So either you can use clot code, you can use codeex, you can use uh anything you want, right? So for my for my sake of use, right, for my ease of use, I’m just going to rename this file cuz it’s a big name file, right? When I’m opening it in terminal, I have to type this whole. I’m just going to say omni watermark, right? And then let me open up the terminal. I’ll show you. All right. So I’m inside the terminal. I’m using the terminal emulator called it 2. So I’m going to do cd masterclass. That’s the one folder which I added this. I unzipped this code inside. And then I’m going to do cd. I could I could just put one command to get inside the main folder. But I just want to show you. So you create a main folder. It could be a downloads folder or whatever it is where you unzip that file. And when you unzip it, you know, you rename it omni watermark. And then when you open it, you can run claude or you can run codeex or whatever you want. Let’s say I want to run clot. I’m going to trust this folder. That’s it. Now I’m inside the clock. All you got to do, right? All you got to do is go back to that folder here again. Right. Open that folder and just u uh inside this folder just paste your video, right? The video that you downloaded from. So uh the from Gemini Omi, right? So what I did is I created a video using Gemini Omi, right? And I created like multiple segment to create like a long length video, right? All right. So I’m just going to paste it, right? So let’s say I paste it here. This is the uh one second. I think I pasted the wrong one. Let me just delete it. I’ll paste the right one. One second. All right. So, I copied uh I u u you know I copied the actual one. This is the actual one. If I show you this way, this is the actual one that has the uh that has the uh the star, right? As you can see, if you can see the star. So, now what I’m going to do, what we’re going to do is we’re going to say we’re going to go to our terminal. Let’s see where our terminal is. Now we’re going to say okay um do PSR VSSL1 uh remove the watermark. That’s it. That’s it. That’s all you got to do. And then it will automatically run because because it is looking inside the folder where the main main file is. It is going to actually look into that and run the command for you. And I’ll show you the before and after as well so you can also see it yourself. This is a 24se secondond video that I created using Gemini Omi. If you want a full tutorial on how I use Gemini Omni for ads, UGC or whatever it is, right? Though I don’t use it very often. I just use it specifically cuz uh I was thinking of using Cance, but the problem with Cance is I want my face and my voice and stuff like that for ads or video sales letters or stuff like that which u you know it was it was uh not taking it right. But Gemini Omi um just like literally uh killed everyone, right? So that’s that’s one good thing about it and that’s why you uh uh if you want so my main thing what I was what I’m trying to say is if you want a full tutorial on a master class on it let me know in the comment section I’ll probably 100% do that the how the way I use it the way kind of I automate the workflow and everything but as you can see this is the video this has this uh star watermark from Gemini right and then I’m just going to run this command in front of you everything uh you know uh everything will be done run by clot. You can use codeex, you can use py coding agent, but this is game changer, right? Cuz I mean you could run it with the watermark, but it’s just that you know internal satisfaction like oh it has that watermark that I wish it should have been removed. You know what I’m trying to say? So that’s the thing. Um uh and um just while it is getting done a little bit about the update what’s been happening. I was on a vacation actually uh uh the last two weeks right that’s why you haven’t heard back heard from back uh uh from me but again I’m back I’m back with some crazy pipeline so again if you have not subscribed I got tanned as well big time you know went to um southern uh south side of India anyways so um if if you haven’t subscribed make sure you do subscribe cuz cuz things are about to blow up right uh some pipelines right for specifically for 3D style documentary entries, Bible story videos, uh podcast videos and everything. A lot of uh cool things will come, right? Uh so uh just make sure you you get inside the school community and you subscribe to the YouTube channel, right? So what I’m going to do, I’m just going to wait for it. Uh I’ll report back with the output path and the free account verification once it finish. That’s it. So what’s going to do? What is it going to do? Right? Uh it is going to uh basically uh create the virtual environment, right? And then it is going to bundle the video together. It’s going to see how many frames your video has. So my video was exactly 23 seconds and 60 microconds or whatever whatever it is, right? And with this version cuz uh by default the the videos that you know Gemini only creates is around 10 second long and stuff like that. So, it’s going to chunk it in three and then properly remove those watermarks without keeping those um you know zoomy elements or crazy some some cropping which looks which makes your video looks a little bit not so great. It will perfectly remove it. Right. So, I’m just going to let it run the shell. Um there is running um this is running behind the scene. I’m just going to keep it run. I’m going to pause my video and I’ll show you once it is done. All right. Cool. All right. So, finally it is done. And it took me uh 6 minutes, right? Um uh cuz I’m running it on my MacBook probably. That’s why it’s not that fast enough, honestly. I’m just setting up the new Mac minis with anyways. All right, cool. So, it is the VSSL1 cleaned full version. The chunk is clean. The chunk are cleaned. The source is 23 minutes. Oh, 23 seconds and all that. Let’s give it a real quick uh view, right? So, I’m just going to go here and let’s see the So, this is this is the version which has the let me if I just open it, right? This is the version with the watermark, right? This is the version. Boom. Do you see the no? Do you see that? Like, no. I’ll just play it. Right. No zooming in, no zooming off completely. That’s the power of precise reverse alpha blending technique. I don’t even know about it. Uh you know how it works. I just let this some of my learnings and study plus some of the resources um you know uh and then it just did it right and some instances it still appears a little bit right um little bit as you can see this for this video this is the old video right I want I want you to see that right here it completely appears like stays the video the new version clean it works for like horizontal video vertical video and it’s just amazing right look at look at this it it appeared It was it just appeared for like like a microcond which I don’t really care. I mean if I want to but at least it gave me like a cleaner version which that’s what I uh like. So all right I hope you loved it. Join inside the school community to get the exact code to run for um Mac and Windows both chips. And I hope you love this one. If you do make sure if you don’t want to miss golden nuggets just like these make sure you subscribe. All right. See you.

  • 06/20/2026 – Can FREE AI Beat Paid AI at Human Like Writing – Yash AI Guy

    All right. So in this video we will be comparing free AI models running on my laptop. Right? My 16 24 32GB laptop that you can run completely free private was this closed source private models like Tad GP Gemini and Claude and we are going to actually have them showdown and where each model stand in my tier list of S A B C D when it comes to these five parameters of content creation, emotional storytelling, user writing, and anti- AI slop and humanization which AI excels where and just to make this uh comparison fair. I will be using Gemini, Chad GPD and Claude and all of their free version and I will be using local AI models which I’ll be running I’ll be running using LM studio by the way you can do it check other videos on this channel right where I talked about how to do it but we’ll be using um models here like Quen like GMA by Google like Neotron and uh we will decide right we we we we both and we all will decide from my experience right and from understanding which one excels where and then what is the ultimate best way right so without further ado let’s get started and after the end of this video you’re going to have the answer of S A B C D tier which AI beats the current AI race all right cool so let’s start with the first test of creating a business owner focused content test right so I want to test if model can write a useful full content, right? Like LinkedIn post, social media post, YouTube post, and anything like that. And without sounding generic, right? So, I’m going to prompt it like this. Write a short LinkedIn post, blah blah blah. I’m going to run it through Gemini. It’s a free Gemini I just created. As you can see, it’s even giving me an option to upgrade. So, every tier, just to keep the comparison fair, I’m using all of their best uh free versions, right? So, I’m just going to paste it and I’m going to run it on Gemini. I’m going to do it. I’m going to do it on chat gpt and then I’m going to do it on cloud and I’m going to use sonnet 4.6 whatever it is. I’m just going to run it over here. Now I’m going to go over lm studio. These are the models that you can download that can run on your laptop without internet. And just want to give you a little bit specification about my laptop that I’m using right now to shoot this video and to run this models. So both of them um are running simultaneously. This is a MacBook Pro um um latest version with 32GB RAM. So ideally your uh your local model can fit under 16 GB 24 GB. The best is 24 GB. Ideal is 32. Best is 24. 16 is a little bit uh to fit. You go 48 or 64 GB RAM, right? Uh it works wonders. So let’s let me go inside the LM studio. I’m just going to command them, right? And then we’re going to compare and then we’ll put these things. All right. uh for which tier what and ultimately we will put the tier list. Right? So let me open LM Studio. All right. So I’m inside LM Studio and the way LM studio works is it’s a dashboard like this. I’m going to zoom in like this. I downloaded all these models here. I’m going to go to the chat function. Right? And I already just running some tests. Right? All you got to do in order to load any model I’m using the model, right? The model that I’m running, it’s a gamma 4 model. It’s a 26 billion parameter model mixture of experts 26B A4B quantised version so that it can run on our consumer GPUs. Now how do you download this model? You’ll just go on the left side here uh in the model sections here on the the fourth option and just at the top you will see or you can just show other stuff pics if you’re watching it later and then you will see this model. This is the model I’m running which is a gamma 4 new gamma 4 26 billion parameters mixture of experts with quantized version right with the training of quantization aware training so that it can run uh it can have the uh uh it can have the quality of like the actual full BS16 model right like so-called just so just so that to keep things simpler right so-called best models by using less memory that means while using less RAM so it can fit in into our consumer grade GPU uh GPUs and laptops right so what we’re going to do we’re going to go in the chat here and we’re going to load the model I’ve already loaded the model there is one issue uh that you need to do that there’s one not issue but there’s one thing that you need to fix before you run anything is you need to come here on the developer side and then go to info you will see the model that you’re running just make sure when you do the load and when you do the inference on the load side. This model is by default just to keep things context lesser. This this this thing should must be here around 4,000 or 6,000. This is a context length, right? That means how much in one chat you can fit in before it loses the context, right? So just max it out so that it has 226 to,000 tokens of context so that you can run it through multiple chats and it will not forget about what you’re asking. Right? So I’m just going to reload it to apply the changes. And then as it is as you can see it’s a 16 GB version. So so that’s why I’m saying 24 GB is a good uh RAM uh thing if you have but 32 is ideal and 6448 you just amazing right and running on Mac. Uh that’s why you get a benefit of unified memory though you can run it on Windows as well. So I’m going to run this here. I have loaded the model as you can see. Oops one second. I loaded the model and I’m just going to do I’m just going to run my prompt and then I’m just going to say enter. Now while we’re running this let’s see uh our uh you know uh our Gemini results discounts feed a transaction trust build relationship. When you’re a small business owner it’s incredibly tempting to slash prices to win a customer. We have all been there. But here’s the truth. Customer trust uh customer trust beats a discount every single time instead of lowering your prices. Focus on your raising reliability. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Let’s let’s read the G GPT. Uh as a small business owner, it’s tempting to focus on discounts to win customers, but discounts get attention, trust, and loyalty. Customers come back when they know you’ll do what you promise. Uh okay, cool. Let’s cheat. Uh let’s read the um let’s read the uh the this uh Claude version. I learned this the hard way early on. Okay. I like this uh I like Claude gave me like two version story driven and a direct and punchy version. Let’s do the story driven. I learned this the hard way. So it’s more personalized. It automatically understood my uh like I am running it as a LinkedIn post. So it kind of gave it more personalized. I ran a discount, got a rush of new customers, felt great, then most of them never came back. I like this thing that what it did here if you understand you know what I mean right is like it kind of personalized it like as if somebody was running on scrolling on LinkedIn it would like have them like oh there’s someone sharing as opposed to the Gemini version or the charg version right uh it’s more of like you like like you are just talking about it discussing the topic in the while and here it’s actually driving through a story and the direct and punchy version also plot gave a discount gets someone in the door once trust gets them back. Oh, I don’t like that. I like the storydriven version. Let’s check the um uh you know uh uh let’s let’s check let’s check sorry the GMA version 4 this is by Gemini it’s actually free local we talked about this right so interestingly GMA also gave us two options which is I just which is what I like about it first of all just by seeing it it gave us two option the hard truth approach and the relatables. Oh, one second. It gave us option three. Okay, three options. Let’s let’s see if they’re actually relevant. Right. So, option one is the hard truth approach. Best if you want to sound like a mentor or a straight shooter. Stop racing to the bottom. Ah, interesting. It’s so tempting to throw a 25 uh one. Let me just increase it so you can properly see it. Option two. Let’s see the option two. The story version. I used to think that if I could not get a customer to buy, it was because my Wow. Holy moly. I spent way too much time worrying about discounts and competing on price. But I realized something. People don’t actually want the lowest price. They wanted the lowest risk. Whoa. Wow. That’s cool. They want to know that if something goes wrong, you’ll fix it. They want to know that you actually care. A deep discount is a band-aid. Trust is the foundation. Wow. Wow. It’s crazy. Uh, I love this version. So, I like Claude. I like GMA, but to be honest, I like GMA more cuz it’s a LinkedIn, right? It’s a LinkedIn post. I’m posting as myself. Why would I like this is a story version. I like it. And yeah, cool. Awesome. So, what are we going to do? We’re going to load another model. But so far, the models that we have tested, we’ll just rank them, right? So, so let’s do the Gemini first. So, we’re going to rank Gemini as a C tier. Chad GPD also will come in the C tier. I like Claude as a A tier and I would do GMA as A tier as well. And then let’s see how they rank uh across all the tests. Right. Two more models are remaining which are the Quen model. Right. One second. Yeah, the Quen model and the Neotron model. Uh let’s check them. Right. Uh these are also free models. I’m just going to copy my prompt and I’m going to go here and then I have all the models downloaded. So I’m just going to do eject. So it’s going to eject from my memory and then I’ve already downloaded this model. How to download the model again? Go to the fourth section and then just search for Neotron. And then in the Neotron I’m using the Neotron 3 Nano 4V model. Okay. You have nano3 omni omni model as well which is a 26 gigabyte model but I would do nano3 u sorry neotron 3 nano4v model. So I’m just going to use in the chat. I’m going to load the model. Uh the model is getting loaded. It’s a ggv version uh uh version of implementation where you know there are different optimization. We’ll talk about this uh as well right there are different way they optimize the version to fit in the consumer grade GPUs. So that’s the that’s the thing there. So I’m going to use this again before running it. I would just go to the developer version and then I will max the token length. If you see the max token length GMA was supporting um Gamma was supporting is 214 or something 268. This is only 104. That means you can’t run a long length query because if you run the long length query it will forget because it has a only 100,000 token context length. Right? But we’ll still run it. We’ll reload the model and we’ll see what happens. So, I’m just gonna That’s the only thing I I um I was thinking I’m going to run it on one of my one of my on Mac mini, but it won’t be fair so that we could do it simultaneously. So, just bear with me as we uh load and unload the models. Right. I’m going to give it this thing and I’m going to run it the same thing. Right now, while this is running, uh while this is running, uh uh the second test that is coming up, which is the content creator script writing test, it’s a script that I want to write for a Instagram reel uh with a strong hook and flow. So, this is the prompt that we’ll be using. But before that, I just want to read it. Uh I just want to read the Neotron version. Uh it by the way all the Neotron the Gamma and everything we’re running on LM Studio is running for free on my laptop without any internet on my device right completely private completely local why I don’t use discounts and why my customers thank me for it. Oo I I uh you know uh uh I like the approach it took. You know what I’m trying to say? like uh I I like what it took like why I don’t use discounts and my customers thank me for it. Nobody actually thought about this. Everybody was slamming discounts, right? Like oh you should not be using discount. Discounts will hurt you and all that. This took it in a very interesting. I like this. Last week I got a message from Sarah, my regular customer since 20. She said she brought our product because we didn’t have a sale. You always deliver what you say. She wrote that’s why I trust you. Discounts they’re easy but they don’t blind. Whoa. What’s your story? Uh oh, I like that uh um I like that uh call to action, right? Cuz uh most of these uh models they they they didn’t do the call to action. How do you focus? Drop your thoughts below. Actually, they did. But um uh they did, but uh what’s your story? I like just I like that approach, you know, like instead of asking, okay, what’s the one thing that your business does to build a customer trust? Like nobody wants to kind of share about that, right? as opposed to talk about me. Hey, have you been through the same thing? Uh what did you do? You know that kind of angle and approach, right? And then uh Claude did not do that. But still the Claude um uh had this attention grabbing approach. I learned it the hard way. All that, right? So Neotron surprisingly I like it. It’s a beam version, right? Let’s let’s check the Quen. Now Quen was actually So we just go to Quinn and then we’ll just go here and we’ll search for Quinn. You just have to download these model once, right? So, Quen 3.627B version. It’s a dense model that we running. I thought I was downloading it. Yeah, I think I downloaded it. It’s a big version. It’s a 92%. So, we can come and run these models uh run run with Quen later on, right? Cuz it’s at still 92%. I mean, it’s a 16 GB version. I don’t know how long will it take, but you get the point, right? We’ll we’ll continue with our test and we’ll run it with that, right? Uh so we’ll run all the prompt maybe later on with Quen just to kind of put towen as cuz we we have the context right we have we are human brains we have unlimited context right so that’s the thing I’m just going to run this now the the content creator test and I’m going to run with Gemini so I’m going to open a new chat just so that it does not mess up with the existing one and I’m going to paste the chat there right and then I’m going to go to chat GBT and I’m going to open up the new chat. New chat. Uh I’m going to clear the chat. I didn’t even log into chat GPD, I guess. Yeah, it’s just free, right? Just keep things fair and simple. Going to go to Claude and on the claude as well. I’m going to open a new chat. And then I’m going to run it here. And then also on uh here, I’m going to run here the new chat. And this is the Neotron version. And I’m just going to run this. And let’s see what GMA GMA gave me. Okay. Oh, Gma, not Gemini. Sorry. So, Gemini, right? You look directly into the camera, leaning into slight leaning in slightly. A bowl. Okay, that’s good. Here’s the uncomfortable truth about why you have not reached your goals. No, it’s not because your lack of discipline or motivation. When you start something new, a workout or routine, your brain gives you a massive hit. But by week three, the novelty veers off. in reality that boredom is just the tax you pay for the progress. It’s like your textbook. You know, you know what I’m trying to say? It’s it’s a it’s like textbook. It’s like okay, you know what I’m saying? It’s a I don’t like the hook honest. Right. Let’s see. Um I like Chad GPT uh so far like just on a second. I like Chad Gupt because Gemini I didn’t ask it to give me visual. Why do you why do you want to confuse me with the visuals? Right. I’ll ask you again. So that’s a Gemini issue. I always have that when I ask her for script but let’s read the script chat GPD. Right? Most people don’t fail their goals. They quit during the most predictable part of the process. I did not get that aha moment. Right? Anyways, let’s read through it. Think about it. At the beginning, progress feels exciting because everything is new. A few weeks later, the excitement disappears. You’re working just as hard, but the results are barely visible. And that’s exact moment most people assume something is wrong. So they’re still a textbook, right? I’m I’m trying to create a real that will go viral, right? I mean, I know I haven’t given them a context and there’s a whole context engineering role play where we give them a good context to understand from which I talked about in a previous videos, but I’m just because we are running a fair fair blank check. I no, I don’t like it. Okay, let’s let’s check this. Let’s check claw. Looks like it give it the hook. Okay. Uh, the day before something works, that’s exactly when most people stop. Ooh, there you go. Here’s what nobody tells you about pushing a goal. Progress is not linear. There is this period, could be weeks, could be months where you’re putting the work and getting nothing back. Relatable. No feedback, no results, no sign, and your brain behind a very logical organ. Think about like a pushing car. I like it’s a metaphor. It’s giving a metaphor. So, it feels relatable and throughout the field. I like this. You will let me know in the comments what do you think about this. But I like the Gemini and Char GBD is a more textbook textbook kind of approach. The CLD is much more like you know what I’m saying like u uh it’s more it’s much more uh uh you know what I’m trying to say like uh relatable and hookwise. Uh I I like that. Right. Anyways uh Neutron let’s see. Oh, by the way, uh some of you might be wondering, oh yes, I could hack away in Gemini or CHB. By the way, this is not a video where I’m saying this model is great or that model is great and I hate this model. No, no, no. It’s a fair blank [ __ ] comparison. So, you could say that okay, by doing some using some custom GPT or Gemini gems, you could improve something. Yes, you can. But ideally on a standalone model itself, which one is great? Right? So that’s what I’m trying to uh get here at. So another thing that I want to do here is by the way, oh Quinn is also downloaded. So I’m just going to go there. All right. So um I’ve been just like, you know, just go on on and on is loving it. Anyways, remember that exact moment your goal just stopped feeling real. Mhm. Okay. Okay. Like it was heavy, not exciting. That’s why 80 that’s why um that’s why 80% of us ditch them too soon. Not because we are lazy, but because we forget why we started. Oh, goals are not about checking boxes. They’re about person you become while chasing them. When that connection fades, you quit before you have seen it. Because goals without heart just burn out. Your why is not one time spark. It’s a daily heartbeat. Okay, I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I I would not give it a like a better than Claude, but Claude first, then emotron, then other models. Let’s check the other models. Like let’s check our J Gamer model. So I’m just going to load gamma. Let’s use the let’s load the gamma model while it is running. Let me make sure that the gamma model. So as you see what I did, right? I went to the developer documentation and I just loaded. So it’s it has a 262k tokens. I’ll load this. I’m going to reload to apply changes and then let’s see. Uh bear with me guys, you know, uh because uh this just one time thing. I want to do it on a fair device, one device. So then we know like you know I’m not running one device on 120 GB RAM and one on a different RAM. Anyways, so I’m going to do this and I’m going to start here and let’s go GMA. Let’s go. Awesome. In the meanwhile let’s just rank from so far what we have written. Now I would say from what I have written Gemini right it’s a very textbook thing. Uh it’s a very textbook thing. I will I will arrange the Gemini again for the third test will tell us better. Chat Gibb is also textbook. Claude is better. So I would I so two test it pass. I will I I will I will put Claude as a S tier. Let’s see what um uh what GMA is doing. And we’ll do the Quen one as well. But Neotron let’s see Neimotron version that we just saw, right? The Neotron version that was also uh that was also nice. But anyways, let’s see this one. So, GMA coming from Google did the same thing, right? Which is most people don’t fail because they lack talent. They fail because they quit right before the math actually starts working out. When you start a new goal, whether it’s a fitness, a side of there’s the initial rush of dopamine, but then you hit the plateau, you’re putting in the work, the scale is not moving, the views aren’t increasing, the bank looks the same. Real progress, it’s okay. uh you know uh you know what I’m trying to say. It’s okay. I would not say it’s too great. I like the Neotron version honestly, but let’s see. Let’s try the Quen version for this one. Right. Let’s try with the Quen version. Quen also has a 262,000 of token length. So, I’m just going to reload Quen. Right. Let’s see. It’s a 3.6 Quen 3.627B 6 27B model. I could run all these models. I could do all this. I want to do it in front of you. So, you know how I also, you know, think and then how we kind of decide so that not bias towards anything, right? So, I’m going to do Quen. There’s still one Quen uh that needs to be run. But uh anyways so yeah while we are coming here Gimma just because it gave me the okayish response on the real script for me it fell at B honestly Gemini and Char JBD has a very strong chance to go in the D level but let’s see A level I would not put Neotron A level but Neotron has a very strong signal of understanding the context and giving it it’s a small model this model the Neotron version that we we used actually this 8 A4B version it could even run in your 16 GB RAM. So considering that small model and understanding that uh that grade uh you know it’s a good good I a good thing right so that’s the thing and uh make sure if you’re loving it so far uh drop a like subscribe and then uh we will be doing basically you know a more version of building games application web apps videos and everything so we can see like which which one stand but claude for me it 100% stands is s tier both of them work perfectly uh gamma one uh the quen one is definitely taking its time cuz it’s a 27 billion parameter model that we using and it’s a dense model that means for example just while it is working just uh just so you understand what’s a dense and a mixture of experts model means dense model means it’s going to use all your RAM right mixture of experts model just for simpler simpler uh simp simplicity it will only pick the specific experts so your RAM will not get utilized all of it right uh so yeah that’s a simpler version, right? So, okay, most people don’t quit because they’re lazy. They quit because ah, come on. It’s okay. You know, they quit their measuring progress wrong. We pick a goal, expect a straight line. Your brain is not wired to reward invisible progress. I like that state sentence the inside. So, stop tracking the outcome. Track the signal. No, I didn’t like it. But still, I’ll just put it at D. I don’t like it. It’s a plain textbook version. So far, you’re going good. Let’s do the third test. Now we’ll be doing fast fast test. All right. So it’s a emotional storytelling test, right? I’m going to do Quen uh not Quinn Gemini. I run the test. I’m going to do Chad GPT new chat. Run this test. Do chat uh the Claude Claude new chat. By the way, I’m running Sonnet 4.6. And then uh I’m just going to run uh Quen here with the emotional story test. And then we’ll run Neotron as well. Um so let’s read through that. All right. So this is a good story overall. Uh again and u you know a lot of people might feel this other way and that’s what I would love to have your feedback or your opinion on what I’m thinking could be wrong right so you can share your like okay yes I could have thought that way as well. So anyways let’s read the emotional story emotional test. For seven years, David’s world was measured in lines of code and the hums of the office server room at midnight. He was back in software engineer for a massive healthcare app. The guy who kept database secure the data flow and again the textbook, you know, it’s like a textbook. It’s like I would not want to read this, right? I just read read a like paragraph. It was thankless work. When the app runs slow, nobody noticed David. When it glitched, his inbox blew up. While the marketing I related it like you know and I’m relating so far I mean till now this while the marketing team celebrated millions of user milestone with champagne one runny Tuesday a companywide email it was not praised there it was an invitation of volunteer impact panel too texty too I don’t want to read it something that I don’t want to read I would rate it like too texty too textbook for 12 years this is by the way Chad GBD for 12 years Ravi unlocked the office doors before sunrise he worked as a maintenance technician in a small manufacturing company. Every morning uh every morning checked the machine, fixed loose wires. When production ran smoothly, nobody noticed him. When something broke, people only asked why it was not fixed. Over the years, we watched younger employee get promotion. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Yeah, you get the point. I’ll just in case if you want to read through that, it’s just not textbook, right? Like I might be biased here now by just reading like two paragraphs. Not biased, but I might be judging them early. Uh but it’s very textbook, right? I does not feel like reading it, right? Let’s shake the rod. Okay, the last row. Margaret had been the last had been the last one to leave building for 11 years. Every evening she gathered the forgotten coffee forgotten uh coffee cups straight in the chairs, water the phone with the window. Nobody me nobody mentioned it, not once. Her name was rarely in the meeting. Her suggestions arrived a beat too late. Um uh there were evenings she sat in her car parking not ready to go home not sure what she was waiting for does does it matter she would think does any of this actually matter I’ve been meaning I have been meaning to write this for a long time Priya wrote I’m almost quit Margaret read the email three times and she pressed her fingers by the way I’m just speaking but just so you guys know right you know I’m also speaking I’m also reading it through my eyes as well so whatever I’m speaking is not what I’m reading I’m just reading grew to understand, right? Felt like relief. She wrote back four words. She wrote back four words because it turned out it had mattered along. Okay, cool. Let’s check the Quinn. Uh, Mara’s knees clicked like a metronome 5:00 a.m. Rain or shine 480. She walked the three blocks. The neglected lord behind the bakery. There was no budget, no committee, just mara. She was put into the world. She was just the garden lady. a blur h like there was a no budget I just I’m just first two paragraph like what am I reading she was just a garden lady you are here late again you would grumble there were nights then a small hand tugged her sleeve they were not passing by she was not she was the root I mean okay I didn’t like that much let’s let’s try other model eject this and then I’m going to run gamma let’s try gamma so Far uh not I mean anything have to do writing GMA and Quen not good. Uh GMA and uh not GMA sorry Gemini and Quen I would not rate them. Chad GPD okay it was okay right. Um um uh like story at least I would keep it as Ctier. Let’s now test the final the gamer version the Neotronone version so that we can have an idea. Let me check if the context are good. Let me just raise the context. So this is a context length so that you know it can give us the full even if it continues to write continues to read it has it can you know uh it has much much higher context length. So I’m just going to read that go here and I’m going to paste that thing. Let’s see. It’s much faster by the way you know these um um contise versions uh contis versions mixture of expert models which is 26 billion parameter active 4B. Does that make sense? That means at any given time there are only 4 billion parameters or whatever it is it’s active. You see what I’m trying to say? That’s the thing with those 27B model um uh uh um you know it was a dense model right? All of the parameters were active. That’s why it was slow. So the quen one we just um um you know uh that’s the thing. So it it gave us a note. So for 12 years Arthur’s world was defined by the things people looked past. He was the man in the faded blue jump suite. The man who arrived before the sun to scrub the floors of the municipal library. He knew the scent of old. He worked in the silence of the stacks repairing broken spines. Uh dusting the forgotten uh some mornings when the damp winter chills went oh interesting. was a heavy gray. See this it’s very very very interesting Gemini right this is Gemini for seven individual line of code see there is this feeling right where Gemini and Gamma from the same company Google and Alphabet right but I don’t know but I’m liking what you guys thinking right I’m liking the GMA responses much better which is free by the way much better than the Gemini version Gemini is also nice but It feels like you know like the word look at it’s it has a story right it’s talking about pronunciations are there there’s a story there right but here right it just felt like you know like a textbook you know what I’m trying to say right it’s a very not so like how humans would write right like you know what I’m saying but here he worked in the silence some mornings when the damp winter chill uh then came a Tuesday it was heavy gray afternoon you know like like heavy gray afternoon just the depth moving inside the depth of that right Arthur was finishing his sip shift wiping down the heavy oak cables. Arthur paused his clothes held midair. See that those that that uh deeping down and then exaggerating and then you know deeping down their pain points and then not the pain points but actually getting into the root of the um um u uh of the story as opposed to like 3 years ago um you know we live in a rural town. She helped her phone. Memory flooded back. It’s very textbook, right? So that’s nice. That’s nice. GMA. I I like GMA. So the though GMA did not pass our real test, right? But uh GMA is nice here for the storytelling. Let’s look at the Neotron. Surprisingly, Neotron, I am loving Neotron, right? It passed the though it it has only 104K context. That means if you try to chat back, like if you ask it to write an essay and if you try to chat back, you know, it will have an issue because it can only fit in 104,000 tokens, right? Which is huge, right? Uh uh but still just want to let you know. And also the Neotron Nano 4V version is not a vision model. I’ll tell you what vision model means. Um I’ll while just writing it. Vision model means uh you can give it an image and it will give you the prompt back and it can understand image as well. This does not right. So um so let’s do the uh Neotron right? So Neotron it’s a small model right? Okay cool. Lita had scrubbed the same uh same stainless uh steel sink for 23 winters watching steam rise plates clatter away into oblivion. The dinner’s manager, the the diner’s manager called her the machine, never to say thank you. Her husband’s voice aloh in the background was only appla was only applause she ever heard. She fed her son Maya. She fed her son Maya on leftovers. Dreaming that one day his Okay. Okay, cool. uh dreaming that one day his success would um echo the uh gratitude she long denied. When when Maya sent home a college acceptance letter, Lena uh felt a weight lift, not from belief, but from a strange quite pride. Mom, I’m going to be engineer, she whispered. That night, a postcard arrived. No return, just her name. Your hands cleaned our hearts. Thank you, Le. Ah, it’s it, you know, I am not satisfied honestly. Right. The only ones that I liked here for this test is the gamma version and the claw version. So I would say gamma. Right. I would still keep Neimotron here only but I would just put it beside because Neotron succeeded at my real test but Gamma did not. But Gamma and Claude has the understanding of emotions and all that. Gemini playing textbook. Quen plain textbook. Chad Chipy okayish. GMA has a strong contender. Neimotron is also let’s try two more tests remaining right uh fifth one is the anti-AI swap and the fourth one is the user writing birthday message and stuff like that let’s do the anti anti-AI swap first right I’m going to do that open up Gemini right this oh by the way just in case uh you might be wondering why are you not running GLM from ZAI or DeepSeek or or Miniax Mistral and all these these models because I’m using only local models that could run in your computer in a local computer or local device those Kimmy models will do the test right those Kimmy models those GLMs those other things can run does run but the problem is um uh it does you require 100 GB of RAM or 128 GB of RAM minimum 80 GB 90 GB that’s why they’re big huge models right though they are open source we’ll talk about them later as So, so that’s a fair comparison like what every one of you can run. Uh, that’s the only thing we’ll use them for the white coding test, right? So, I’m just going to run it here. This is Gemini. This is Chad GPT. This is Oops. This is Gemini. This is Chad GPT. And this is CLOT. All right. While this is running, I’m just going to do the version here with let’s do the Nvidia one. anti anti-slop neotron and then we’ll run we’ll run the the we’ll run the the the quen right okay write a short uh so this is the anti- AI slop test right and there’s the everyday user writing test that’s remaining so write a short paragraph avoid learning from failure make it sound like a real person wrote it avoid phrases like journey unlock your potential okay honestly messing up sucks and it usually feels pretty embarrassing in the moment but if you can’t get past the initial sting failure is see again Uh, again it’s a textbook, right? Just aggressive way of showing you exactly what doesn’t work. You can read all the advice columns you want, but nothing actually sticks. It’s like, you know, it’s like I still remember my ninth grade teacher teaching me an English lesson. You know, it’s like failure can be frustrating, but it often teaches lessons that success does not. When something goes wrong, it give us a chance to see what needs. This is the anti-AI slop. So, understand that. That’s the that’s a that’s a um that’s a theory that’s that’s a perspective you’re keeping in my mind, right? from the from then the achievements instead of seeing failure. Okay, failure has a way of teaching you think that success never could. You think that when something goes wrong, a project falls apart, a relationship end. So you see this is this is what I meant by that. Right? So honestly messing up sucks and it’s usually pretty uh this is the Gemini, right? It feels pretty embarrassing and but if you can get past the initial sting, failure is basically just aggressive way of showing. You see pretty typical textbook. See the plot it talks about it. It it goes deeper or second level deeper, right? your relationship ends badly. A bet you were so sure about does not pay off. You were forced to sit with the uh you know in the job that you don’t like. That discomfort where the real learning happens, right? That’s what I’m looking for, right? Although honestly um I would give just one praise that the Gemini does not did not does not give you like the the M dashes though claude gives a lot of M dashes which is a one thing that is a it’s written by AI whenever there’s a m dashes so but that’s okay I mean it’s okay just thing but I like uh claude charge is also nice but again then something goes wrong charges is like you know not average daily anything like that so Okay. Ooh, Neotron always uh uh shines up. Look at this. I’ve learned that the biggest mistake don’t just feel painful. They also point out what I did not get right. And over time, those little clues add up real progress. When something goes wrong, it’s not dead end. It’s just another step. It’s like it’s a motivational speech. It’s okay. It’s not that aha moment what I got from the real, right? Um uh and also for two tests it did not pass the emotional test and this test. But anyways, let’s try the Gamma from Gemini. I mean not from I keep saying Gemini, it’s from Google. I’m going to reload the models. Let’s load them. And then uh I’m just going to keep keep them loaded. And then uh let’s see. Let’s see. Keep them loaded and again as you can see here vision right it’s a vision model you can see it’s a multimodel we call it right let’s see all right so far so we tested so far what’s the list is looking like right so we tested Gemini Quen okay chity is a Ctier okay tier you write it uh Neotron is coming kind of charad if this next test we do and it fails Neotron will come here the only test that I like Neotron is the the actual content like a real writing test but it failed emotional writing test. So basically it failed an emotional writing and the anti- AAI slop. I mean it’s still like it was not it was not looking like I would say if I was just comparing based on AI swap I think it did not it was not AI swap right it’s compared to what Gemini was like you know um but uh still what I was expecting was not there but anyway still considering it’s just a 4 billion model I would keep it I mean if this fails the next test I mean if if it does not satisfy me I would put it as a Ctier but I think Gamma and Neotron is the best competitor let’s see who ends up E, right? So, let’s see. All right, cool. Uh, I used to hate messing up it. See, this is what is crazy. Check this out. This is Gemini. It’s from Alphabet. It’s a Google model. Same local model is a Google model. But somehow it feels so good on local. So interesting, right? AI is sometimes shocks everyone. Okay, so it’s a game Google, right? I used to hate messing up. It felt embarrassing and honestly just felt like a waste of time. But looking back, the moments that actually stuck with me were not the wins where everything went. Exactly. It was the times that completely flopped. When you fail, you’re forced to stop. Man, this has to be a tyier model. This is a eight-year model. like like same company a paid model is actually beaten by heads and toes um by a free local model. AI always AI always um you know uh surprises us. Let’s test the Quen model. Uh I don’t have high expectations. Don’t expect something amazingly great. By the way, if you’re loving it so far, like and subscribe because what we’ll be doing, we’ll be doing prompt writing tests, story writing, storytelling, not just storytelling more uh you know, white coding, uh like you know, building applications, oneshot test and stuff like that. So, you’re going to love this. So, I’m just going to run the quen and there’s only last test remaining. While we are talking, let’s just let me just run the last test. The last test is supposed to be a everyday writing. So how how it can write the everyday you know like you want to write a quick message to your employee to your colleague to your friend how how does it do it right so let’s do Gemini man I I lost my hope on Gemini like well let’s see let’s see so I’m just going to do Gemini chat GPT uh chat GPT uh stay logged out I don’t want to log in I want to keep using free version and then uh I’m going to do this And for by the way for Gemini, I’m using the flash just so you know. It’s supposed to be the best 3.5 flash all around. Right. Anyways, let’s just look at our antislab test for Quen. Let me just zoom in a little bit. Zoomed in a lot. All right, let’s see. But in the meantime, let’s do the postal image. The final test. Happy birthday to my big brother. anyone could ask for. Growing up and even now, you’ve always been the rock of this family. Whenever things got tough, if someone needed help, you were always there. Put everyone else before yourself. Thank you for always being out say our safety net and for leading the way with so much grace. I hope today bring I’m sending my friend, my brother, a happy birthday message. But why does it sound like a textbook? I mean I am to be honest I’m a little bit biased with Gemini but still it does not feel like the emotion that I’m trying to you know happy birthday brick brother you know even if if what I’ve just given that I mean I’m like you know he he he will tell me that hey bro like you know you you wrote it on charity you could not even thank me with your own words I mean anyways I like it’s okay it’s not not that great ba oh this is oh that’s one interesting thing I liked about chachi somehow chhat chipity is giving getting access of my location a thousand%. It is always personalizing with Indian names, Indian slangs. So just be aware Chaji might be accessing your location data cuz how come without me logging out it can understand obviously these people through my IP address they can understand but but it is personalizing me. So if you would like you could if if you’re using it from like Europe, right? It would use the European slang and all that. But yeah. Okay. So let’s see. I just want to thank you for always being there for all of us through every challenge and every happy moment. You’ve been a constant source. I’ve always admired the way. So yeah, it’s okay. It’s nice. It’s it’s better than Gemini. Honestly, better than Gemini. Who talks about uh like this is a very textbook like it’s like my ninth grade teacher is wishing me happy birthday. You know, she also does it better. I don’t remember it. Anyways, um Claude, happy birthday. Bye. Okay. Happy birthday by I don’t I don’t say this enough but watching you carry relatable I don’t say this enough but watching you carry so much for this family quietly without I love you I just feel someone is telling me happy birthday has shaved who I am but I wish Claude if you’re listening to this like come on this M dashes I don’t like them they look weird and everyone knows that if there’s an M dash is a AI right we have been the steady one the one who showed up when it mattered who made sacrifices they were never asked of you but you were always noticed today is yours not the families not anyone else yours hope you feel as good as lovely lovely lovely lovely let’s just do let’s just do the last test with the anti-slop and then we’ll come to this happy birthday uh thing with the local model so let’s do the quen for the anti-sloping honestly messing up uh used to make me want to hide under a blanket there’s no getting around how much it stings when you blow something but I’ve learned the Uh fail is just expensive data. If you don’t trip, you never figure out where the rocks are. When I screw up, I try to stop pouting and actually look at what went wrong. Okay. Not go like not not okay. You know, I would not say like it’s okay. Quinn Quen for all the writing test.

    Yeah. DD. No, it’s okay. All of the test failed. It’s a 27 billion parameter model. No way. Right. So let’s do the local last local model test last which is the user writing happy birthday. Let’s do the quen. Let’s write it. Uh you know um let’s see let’s see uh guys it’s crazy right? It’s crazy when you go down the rabbit hole the model that’s everyone uh is is claiming or supposed to praise does not perform and the the the the the models that are hidden behind the plain sight. the moral is supposed to not work or whatever you want to say right um it’s doing relatively well and this is this is the why this is why I don’t like to 27B for this writing purposes it overthinks it’s so it think like why do you want to think so much right uh first of all it’s a dense model but it over it overkills at thinking right I don’t want you like I know I could like you know uh turn off the thinking thing but it just thinks so much and gives gives me the gibberish answer. Um you know so uh we we we’ll test these things on ideiations as well, business ideas, video scripts and all that but just the overall test right which is the content creation posting storytelling normal writing anti-slop. So far it’s looking great. Let’s see. Let’s see who takes down Claude. Let’s see. All right. So happy birthday brother’s name. Wow, I’ve been thinking about you and the way you always looked out for all of us. You’ve been a you’ve you have you have a habit of stepping up when things are hard and quietly. I like this. You give me like three options. I didn’t ask for it. Happy birthday. I don’t say it enough, but I really appreciate you. Oh, that’s nice. You’ve always been the one we could rely. I don’t say it enough. See, that’s the emotion, right? Happy brother, the best big brother anyone could ask for. It’s nice, but you know, it’s emotion when you say like I don’t say it enough. This like feel of emotion. So it’s okay good model but let’s see we’re it’s okay I would not say like wow it’s okay good right uh we’re also comparing with the speed right speed of everything as well so I’m just going to make this model Neotron uh nano it’s a Neotron nano model and then it’s a 4B model the only reason right uh the only reason I’m keeping it at a B level is first of all it’s not a multimodel that means tomorrow if you want to put some images, get some prompts out of it. You can’t do that. That’s only the reason I put I’m putting so far at the B. Another thing, it has a lesser context length, right? Which is only 104K context. That means if you just go for continue to a long horizon task on back and forth, it will get out of the context and it will forget about it. So that’s why I’m not going to put it. That’s the only reason a quen is the quen is not that and the D level just for this quen is at the D level. First of all, it overthinks. Second of all, I don’t like that writing approach. But hey, happy birthday, brother. From the moment you’ve stood out, uh from the moment you stood out through the every high and low, I’ve seen how your study uh presents turns ordinary. Oh, typical happy birthday message. Um okay, Neotron, good job. I’m okay. I’m not surprised. Not surprised, but uh I’m okay with it. Like I’m okay. Not no complaints. No complaints. No complaints. Much more complaint. Um, all right. So, I’m just going to load the I’m just going to load the the the the GMA model. Let’s see. Let’s see. Let’s see. It’s It’s crazy. Let’s see how much GMA GMA. I have high expectations. Oh, my battery is about to die. Wow. It’s crazy. I don’t know how long I’ve been um running. Let’s see how much battery I have. Oh, 10%. I got to hurry up. Hurry up. It’s been almost 15 minutes I’ve been uh doing. But we are about to wrap it up. We are about to wrap it up, right? Uh see Gamma is also thinking but it’s thinking very fast. That’s what I like. Uh I like it. So say op GMA. GMA gave me four options. Happy birthday. I don’t say nearly enough but I see everything you do for this family. You’ve always been one we can count on. But I want you to know how much that means to me. Oo. I hope you have a great day. You’ve definitely earned it. Happy birthday to the guy who always has our backs. Thanks for everything you do to keep this family moving forward. We are so lucky to Even this is good enough, right? like you don’t I don’t want like something coming from your heart obviously like birthday message should be just a voice note happy birthday really appreciate you thank you so much for doing instead of this but okay happy birthday looking back I realize how much you have stepped up for all of us over the years happy birthday thanks for being one we can always turn to things when things get tough lovely you do so much for this family and we all appreciate you more than we say lovely lovely lovely so here’s what I would say GMA GMA man GMA salute GMA like it’s absolutely like I didn’t even ask for four options it’s ran very fast so here’s where we stand claude it’s a paid model though I use it for free it will obviously limit me right continue to continue with me this is the series where I’m comparing each and every model right so this is the writing test emotional writing and all that here’s the stat claude and GMA cla is the winner when it comes to if you want to pay for cloud and then subscription and everything when data steals on their server. GMA exact model GMA 426B A4B font uh version best model the only test where I didn’t like it um right is with the the emotional part of it right um uh uh but yeah I mean still right uh everything it beat it’s better than uh Neotron chat GPD is like okay if you want to get it something quick right Um um and then uh Quen I don’t like it. Gemini Gemini I I kindly request you not use Gemini. It’s a plain textbook uh thing, right? So Quen not happy. Chad GPD okay if you want to use something quick like something like you have memory there. There are some other ad benefits you get with Chad GPD. We’re going to talk about that. But here’s our winner. Claude GMA B2B a version. Nobody came with the A version right? Neimotron is a nice small little model works best right but again does not have image capabilities as well so we’ll try other Neo Neotron models as well down the line when we testing for that use cases chat GPD is a okay model you’re you’re on train you’re on gym and you want something quick it’s okay uh Quen um thinks a lot needs 27B it’s a 77B model requires minimum of 20 24 GB RAM not that great Gemini stay Anyway, I mean stay away for writing purposes, right? So, I hope you love this showdown. Got to hurry up. I charge my device. But if you do, please let me know what you think about it. What could be improved from this uh showdown? And I hope I’m able to uh come and share some interesting idea, perspective, and thought process of mine to for your workfl in in your AI journey. If I do, if I did, let me uh let me know in the uh let me know by liking this video and let me know in the comment sections. I’ll see you in the next one with this another amazing showdown for different purpose. All right, see you. Love you. Bye.
