Meta launched Edits, a mobile video editing app for iOS and Android, targeting creators and business users and competing with ByteDance's CapCut. Edits integrates with Instagram accounts and offers features such as green screen, timeline editing, frame rate selection, automatic captions, an audio library, AI-powered animation, and a teleprompter. The app includes tabs for ideas, inspiration, project management, recording, and performance insights. Edits is currently free, mobile-only, and has fewer advanced features and a smaller music library than CapCut, which offers a paid subscription and web access. Meta plans to update Edits and may introduce paid features in the future.Learn more on this news by visiting us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.

Sorry for the bar at the bottom, CapCut didn't let me export it due to me using "pro features". Anyways, ENJOY!!!

Whether you're a yoga studio owner or a solo fitness pro, this chat is packed with insight into how AI is streamlining marketing, improving communication, and helping business owners stay ahead—without losing their human touch.This isn't theory—it's how we're actually using AI every day for better emails, easier content, client retention strategies, and business clarity.What We Cover:* AI tools for smarter email, SEO, and marketing (ChatGPT, Grammarly, Gemini)* Using transcripts + prompts to generate content, titles, and newsletters* Studio-specific uses: retention issues, content bottlenecks, and automations* CapCut, Adobe Podcast, Zoom AI, and other tools we personally use* How to feed AI your tone, values, and brand identity (so it sounds like you)* Why the human touch still matters—and when not to rely on AIJuly 2025 Coaching Note:

C'est une bataille de titans qui agite en ce moment le petit monde de l'intelligence artificielle générative vidéo. Aux avant-postes, Google, avec son impressionnant VEO 3, impose sa puissance… mais à un prix. Comptez jusqu'à 200 euros par mois pour profiter pleinement des performances de cette IA surdouée. Et Google n'est pas seul sur le champ de bataille : OpenAI avec Sora, Runway Gen-3, Kling, SeaDance... Tous ces géants ont un point commun : ils font payer – cher – un service qui reste extrêmement gourmand en puissance de calcul. Face à cette avalanche d'outils premium, certaines plateformes tentent de proposer des alternatives plus accessibles. Hailuo AI, par exemple, réduit les coûts mais impose des filigranes ou des temps d'attente parfois longs. Et puis, il y a Vheer. Un nom encore peu connu… mais qui pourrait bien faire parler de lui.Vheer, c'est l'outsider qui bouscule les codes. Accessible en ligne, sans inscription, l'outil propose de générer des vidéos courtes… gratuitement. Pas de watermark, pas de compte à créer, et une interface simple qui accepte les formats classiques : carré, paysage, portrait. Le tout, en seulement quelques minutes de traitement. Autant dire que ça intrigue. Alors bien sûr, il y a des limites. D'abord, Vheer ne transforme pas encore un texte en vidéo directement. Il faut lui fournir une image. Mais l'astuce, c'est que l'appli propose aussi une fonction de génération d'image via prompt. Autrement dit, vous tapez une idée, il crée une image… que vous transformez ensuite en clip.La durée, elle, est limitée à cinq secondes – un recul récent face à l'afflux de demandes. Mais en rusant un peu, on peut enchaîner les clips à partir de l'image finale du précédent, et les assembler dans un logiciel comme CapCut ou Premiere. Autre conseil : téléchargez vite vos créations, car sans compte, rien n'est conservé. Et ce n'est pas tout. Suppression de fond, OCR, édition d'images… Vheer regorge de fonctions IA, toutes gratuites pour le moment. Une chose est sûre : si le modèle évolue, profitez-en tant qu'il est encore ouvert à tous.

Send us a textFor the first time in over 20 years, Australia is overhauling its privacy legislation in a big way, and the small business exemption is gone. If you're running a business with under $3 million turnover and thought you could skip having a privacy policy, those days are behind us. Today, we're talking about why this isn't just bureaucratic mumbo jumbo - it's about trust, credibility and not getting caught scrambling when it's too late.AI is a fascinating and valuable tool, but it comes with serious responsibilities around client data that most business owners aren't thinking about. I'm taking you through what you need to know about the AI platforms you're using, why those days of just clicking 'I agree' are over and how to safely integrate AI without taking chances with sensitive information. Plus, the transparency rules you need to follow when AI interacts with your customers.From getting your privacy policy sorted to understanding exactly what your AI tools do with your data, we're covering the practical steps to keep your business running smoothly and legally. Including a real-life example about CapCut's terms that could cost you ownership of your content - and why reading the fine print has never been more important.Episode Website:  https://tmsolicitor.com.au/rise-up-in-business-podcast/privacy-law-ai-what-small-businesses-need-to-knowSign up for my fortnightly Briefing Notes hereDiscover the Masterclass Series hereCheck Your Legals with the Essential Legal Checklist hereBook a Free 20-minute Initial Consult with me hereJoin me on Instagram here

(SKIP TO 6:00 TO SKIP INTRO) Hey everyone and welcome back to the Podcast!! In today's epsiode, we tuned into another audio story about teen Liam, who experiences how a lash out on his sister, allowed God to councel and correct him through Conviction. Often a feeling of regret, uneasiness, and discomfort when we sin or do something that is wrong. Although God does not put conviction in our spirits to make us shameful or to condemn us, it is brought to make us more aware of our wrongdoings. Giving us the chance to change, repent, and to grow closer to God's rightousness. Godly grief (conviction) = salvation! Rejoice! So, what did Liam choose to do after being convicted of his attitude towards his sister? Did he apologize? Did he dust it off? Watch to find out, and to learn more!

CapCut ha aggiornato i Termini di Servizio e ha scatenato un'ondata di polemiche. Il punto critico è una licenza perpetua, globale e royalty-free che consente alla piattaforma e a terzi di usare, modificare e distribuire i tuoi contenuti. Una TikToker ha denunciato tutto in un video virale da milioni di visualizzazioni parlando di “furto”, ma la realtà è meno (o forse più) allarmante...Il copyright resta tuo. Ma, come già succede su altre piattaforme (e nel video dico quali), usi il servizio in cambio della possibilità per loro di usare i tuoi contenuti anche a fini promozionali. La clausola non è nuova: è la sua chiarezza che ha fatto scattare lo scandalo. E se ci sono contenuti di Brand o Clienti che finiscono in promozioni?Il problema non è tanto legale quanto culturale: la maggior parte degli utenti accetta i Termini d'Uso senza leggerli. Quando emergono certe dinamiche, si parla di crisi. Ma si tratta, in realtà, di una crisi di consapevolezza: gli strumenti ''gratuiti'' (o quasi, rispetto ai competitor) hanno sempre un prezzo. A volte in denaro, ma molto spesso in contenuti e dati.CapCut va quindi disinstallato? Solo se ora scopri che queste condizioni non ti stanno più bene.Ma dovevi accorgertene prima, forse!Hai mai cambiato un'app dopo aver letto i suoi termini d'uso?~~~~~ INGAGGI E SPONSORSHIP ~~~~~ Per contatti commerciali: sales@matteoflora.comPer consulenze legali: info@42LawFirm.it~~~~~ SOSTIENI IL CANALE! ~~~~~Con la Membership PRO puoi supportare il Canale » https://link.mgpf.it/proSe vuoi qui la mia attrezzatura » https://mgpf.it/attrezzatura~~~~~ SEGUIMI ANCHE ONLINE CON LE NOTIFICHE! ~~~~~» CANALE WHATSAPP » https://link.mgpf.it/wa» CANALE TELEGRAM » https://mgpf.it/tg» CORSO (Gratis) IN FUTURO » https://mgpf.it/nl» NEWSLETTER » https://mgpf.it/nl~~~~~ CIAO INTERNET E MATTEO FLORA ~~~~~ Questo è “Ciao Internet!” la prima e più seguita trasmissione di TECH POLICY in lingua italiana, online su YouTube e in Podcast.Io sono MATTEO FLORA e sono:» Professore in Fondamenti di Sicurezza delle AI e delle SuperIntelligenze (ESE)» Professore ac in Corporate Reputation e Crisis Management (Pavia).Sono un Imprenditore Seriale del digitale e ho fondato:» The Fool » https://thefool.it - La società italiana leader di Customer Insight» The Magician » https://themagician.agency - Atelier di Advocacy e Gestione della Crisi» 42 Law Firm » https://42lf.it - Lo Studio Legale per la Trasformazione Digitale » ...e tante altre qui: https://matteoflora.com/#aziendeSono Future Leader (IVLP) del Dipartimento di Stato USA sotto Amministrazione Obama nel programma “Combating Cybercrime (2012)”.Sono Presidente di PermessoNegato, l'associazione italiana che si occupa di Pornografia Non- Consensuale e Revenge Porn.Conduco in TV “Intelligenze Artificiali” su Mediaset/TgCom.

What if the host of Blue's Clues was about to launch the most emotionally supportive podcast of the year? Steve Burns just announced Alive, a new show for grown-ups coming this fall, and we're unpacking what it could be. Steve shares that his podcast will be “a podcast that listens back,” and we explore what that might look like, who it's for, and why it's likely to be a success. We also share some more news headlines, Apple now requires new hero art to be considered for features, and CapCut's new terms give the app broad rights to your content.

New data shows young consumers are increasingly turning to Google — not just for browsing, but even when they know exactly what they want to buy.Morgan Stanley data shows a rise in 16–24-year-olds using Google for product research, both general and specificAs of March, 30% of Gen Z shoppers who knew what they wanted still started on Google — up from 21% last fall.Meanwhile, Amazon's share dropped from 41% to 34% over the same period.Analysts suggest Google's generative AI tools, like AI Overviews and Google Lens, may be fueling the shift.“The volume of commercial queries on Google Search has increased with the launch of AI Overviews,” said Google's Chief Business Officer Philipp Schindler.An AI-generated ad made in just two days aired during the NBA Finals, showing how creators can now move faster and cheaper than ever before. Using Google's Veo 3 and a lean workflow, one filmmaker delivered a national commercial at a fraction of traditional production costs.AI filmmaker PJ Accetturo produced a 30-second TV spot for betting platform Kalshi in just two days using Veo 3 and Gemini.His process involved AI-assisted scripting, iterative prompt generation, and rapid video output, yielding 15 usable clips from 300–400 generations.The entire production cost came in at roughly $2,000 — a 95% reduction from traditional ad budgets.Editing was done with tools like CapCut and Premiere, allowing fJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

Soft spoken reading of The Yellow Sign by Robert W Chambers, featuring a light rain on a tin roof as background ambience. Listen with headphones for the best experience.The Yellow Sign is one of the most haunting tales in Robert W. Chambers' The King in Yellow, a collection that blends gothic horror with a creeping sense of cosmic dread. Set in New York City, the story follows an artist, Mr. Scott, and his young model, Tessie, as they become ensnared in the eerie influence of a strange, grotesque night watchman outside their studio. Tessie, lighthearted at first, grows disturbed when she dreams of the man, whose unsettling presence hints at something beyond mortal comprehension. As their lives intertwine with the mysteries of The King in Yellow—a forbidden play that drives readers to madness—the narrative spirals toward an inevitable, chilling revelation.A masterwork of unsettling atmosphere, The Yellow Sign plays with themes of fate, perception, and an ominous force lurking just beyond the veil of reason. Chambers' tale is one of quiet horror, where the real terror lies not in monstrous threats, but in the creeping certainty that something unspeakable is waiting... just outside the window.Soft spoken ASMR is used to provide listeners with comfort to ease symptoms of insomnia, anxiety, depression, and ptsd. ASMR with atmospheric sounds—like gentle whispering, soft taps, and calming nature noises works wonders for relaxation and anxiety relief. The soothing sounds and personal attention mimic a comforting, nurturing experience, while promoting mindfulness and focus that diverts attention from anxious thoughts. Physiologically, ASMR can lower heart rate and blood pressure, activating neural circuits linked to relaxation. This powerful combination creates a serene environment, helping individuals unwind and feel at peace. Listen with headphones for the best experience.This channel is intended to provide you with a comfortable space to relax and fall asleep.

Subscriber-only episodeEver wonder how to turn those long waiting periods into productive content creation time? As a mom spending countless hours in the car during my daughters' volleyball and dance practices, I've mastered the art of mobile content creation—transforming what would be wasted time into a powerful content multiplication system.My phone-based workflow allows me to create three major content formats (YouTube videos, podcast episodes, and blog posts) plus numerous short-form videos—all from a single recording session while sitting in my parked car. The secret lies in a strategic recording approach using two camera angles for talking head videos, with camera switches timed to outline transitions. This provides natural editing points and creates visual interest.The magic happens with just three key apps. I use CapCut for video editing, seamlessly switching between camera angles to create a polished final product. From there, I convert the video to audio using an MP4 converter app, then import it to SoundLab where I add my podcast intro. The finished podcast gets uploaded to Buzzsprout, where their AI tools (just $10/month) automatically generate transcripts, social posts, and even draft blog content. Meanwhile, I return to CapCut to finalize my YouTube version with hooks and intro segments, plus use their AI features to create multiple short-form videos from my long-form content.This approach doesn't just save time—it completely transforms how content creation fits into a busy schedule. One recording session becomes 8-12 distinct content pieces across multiple platforms, all created from my phone during time I'd otherwise spend waiting. Ready to reclaim those "dead" hours in your day for productive content creation? Try this mobile workflow and watch your content library grow exponentially while making the most of every minute.

As his earthly life crumbles, he plunges deeper into sleep, chasing visions of turquoise temples, timeless streets, and galleys that sail into the sky.But dreams are fickle, and the boundary between fantasy and madness blurs. When knights from Celephaïs finally arrive to escort him home, he embarks on a surreal voyage through time, back to his ancestral estate—only to awaken as king and god of the dream-city.

Soft spoken reading of HP Lovecraft's Azathoth, 1922. With ominous cave ambience, listen with headphones for the best experience.At the heart of the abyss, where time dissolves and space is meaningless, the dreamer finds Azathoth—the mindless, seething center of the universe. A force of chaos, madness, and unreasoning destruction, Azathoth is the blind idiot god whose presence nullifies all thought and order. The story ends with the terrifying realization that beyond human imagination lies nothing but writhing, chaotic horror—and the dreamer is lost within its merciless embrace.Short but evocative, Azathoth is less a narrative and more a fragment of cosmic dread—one that hints at the unfathomable horrors that lurk beyond the fragile veil of sanity.ASMR tales from Lovecraft, Poe, Grimm & Beyond | Unlock Exclusive Secrets from the Vault as a Channel Member or on PatreonVenture softly into realms untold, where ancient whispers stir forgotten lore and dust-laden libraries echo with lost dreams.

Some weeks, it just feels like everything is up in the air all at the same time. Nilay and David are joined by The Verge's Jake Kastrenakes to talk about all the unrest, starting with the ever-changing tariff rules that are making gadgets hard to price, hard to find, and hard to bet on going forward. (Maybe that's why it seems everyone on Earth tried to pre-order a Switch 2 this week.) After that, the hosts catch up on the Meta and Google antitrust trials happening this week, and try to figure out who might be interested in the internet's most popular browser. Finally, in the lightning round, we talk Brendan Carr (who is a dummy), the wood-backed Motorola Razr Ultra, and the 20th anniversary of YouTube.

A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show. I work a lot with managers and business leaders, where a part of their job is to manage teams of people. This kind of work can be quite different from a self-employed graphic designer, for example, whose main work each day is designing.  There's an interesting interplay going on in a team environment. Managers need information from their people. To get that information, they need to stop their team from doing their work. Then there is the team who need less distraction in order to get their work done to the highest quality and on time.  In my experience, the most productive teams are the ones who have found a happy balance between the manager's need for information and the team's need to work undisturbed.  So, the question is, how do you find that balance and if you are a member of a team with a boss who is interrupting you a little too much how do you retrain your boss?  Two questions from one wonderful listener who has sent in a question. And with that, let me hand you over to the Mystery Podcast voice for this week's question.  This week's question comes from Sam. Sam asks, hi Carl, do you have any tips and ideas for managing a team productively (I manage a team of eight) and how to manage a boss who is disorganised and never remembers what she's asked us to do. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Hi Sam, thank you for your question. It sounds like you're caught in the middle of a productivity nightmare. A boss who has no idea how to get the most out of their team and as a consequence you are unable to help your team work productively. Let's start with the easier of the two. Managing a team.  To help you get to the right place, we need to step back a little. A manager's role is to support their team. To provide them with clear instructions and the right tools, and then to keep out of the way and let them get on and do what they were employed to do.  At a strategic level that means clear communication—what do you want, how do you want it and when do you want it delivered?  And then to step back and let them get on and do it.  Let me give you an example of this in play.  I record my YouTube videos on a Wednesday. I then create the timeline of the video in Adobe Premiere Pro and send everything to my video editor to do the animations, clean things up and get it ready for publication.  In a Google Doc, I write out what I want—where I want split screen effects and other animations. I also add the date I need the finished video for.  That's communication part.  I then step back and let my video editor get on and do her thing. I don't care how she does the animations or what tools she uses—she likes to use something called CapCut, for example. Once I hand it over to my video editor, the task is in her hands and as long as she gets the edited video back to me by the deadline. I'm happy.  If she has any questions, we use a messaging service called Twist—similar to Microsoft Teams and Slack but a lot less distracting—she will message me.  And that's the support part.  It's simple, effective and allows my video editor the time and space to get on and do the work without me constantly chasing her.  Now there is another element going on here. I trust my video editor. She's never let me down and on those rare occasions when she thinks she will be late, she will message me immediately and inform me.  If you don't trust your team, who's at fault?  If you want to build a productive team, you must trust your team. It's that trust that enables you to leave your team alone to get on and do the work you employ them to do. Constantly interrupting them for updates destroys their productivity.  It's the same if you ask them to fill out activity reports and update statuses on complex software systems.  I've worked with companies that required their sales teams to maintain a Salesforce CRM system. This meant many of them stop selling on Friday afternoons to update these complex systems which often took them two or three hours.  When I was in sales, I found the best time to sell was Friday afternoons. People are more willing to close out a sale before the end of the week. Yet, in that company, they were missing out on so much business because management wanted their sales teams to update overly complex information management systems.  Every person you work with is a different person. Trying to shoehorn people into your system can be counterproductive to the overall productivity of the team.  As a manager, it's your responsibility to find out the best way to support you team members so they can work in the most effective and efficient way. That way you avoid stress building up in the team which will undermine any efforts to improve the team's productivity.  I recently heard Toto Wolf—the CEO and Team Principal of Mercedes Benz's Formula 1 team talking about how he manages his team. He implemented a policy of no meetings before 10:00 am.  What this does is allows all people to have at least an hour of undisturbed quiet time each day for doing important work.  Now, he's the leader—the CEO—yet he understands that the managers reporting to him still need time to do their work before spending most of their days in meetings.  I like another leader from the Formula 1's world, Red Bull's Christian Horner's approach. He doesn't have an engineering degree or understand the complexities of aerodynamics. He has a team of people who are brilliant at that stuff.  He sees his roll as the barrier remover. While he's the boss, and needs to know what's going on, he knows he must protect his team from the board of directors' demands and if any department requires something, it's his job to find a way to provide it for them.  Productive teams are built from the top. That means the manager must communicate clearly what they want, how they want it and by when. Then step back and let the team get on and do the work.  I remember another company I once worked for. The director was a highly intelligent person in her field. Yet, she had somehow developed a managerial arrogance where she believed she did not need to learn how to use the company's database because her project managers could tell her what she needed to know when she needed to know something.  This led to her project managers dropping everything to find the information she wanted whenever she asked for it. It created a horrible atmosphere in the company and the team was very unproductive.  She would hold five hour team meetings every Friday, where everyone was expected to attend. This further undermined the teams productivity and they were often late in completing projects which meant project managers had to work late and into the weekend to catch up.  This director's staff turnover rate was the highest in the company, worldwide, and it was all created by this one individual who did nothing to support her team.  The solution was to go back to the basics. Communicate what you want, clearly and concisely—you don't need weekly five hour meetings to do that—and then to step back and let your team get on and do their work. The work they were employed to do.  Never, as a manager, believe that your team is there to support you. It's not. You are there to support them.  Now, if you are not the manager but have a manager who is destroying your productivity what can you do?  This goes to managing expectations.  It's very easy to fall into line and say yes to your boss whenever they ask you to do something. Yet, doing so is distorting expectations. Saying “yes I will get this task done today as you ask, boss,” will do nothing for your productivity if on the same day you have six hours of meetings and a proposal to get out before 4:30 pm.  You have to stand your ground and inform your boss of your schedule for the day and explain that you will not be able to do it today.  I understand, if you have always said yes to your boss, doing this will be difficult at first, but how will you change anything if you do not challenge your boss's instructions when you already know what they are asking you to do will be practically impossible?  In effect you need to retrain your boss and set more realistic expectations.  One tip I often share is to challenge deadlines. If your boss asks you to send them something, reply and tell them you will get it to them by the end of the week (or early next week).  The worst thing that will happen is your boss will push back and tell you they need it right now. That's great because they've saved you a decision. You need to do it right now. So do it.  However, in the majority of cases, your boss will accept your timeline. They're busy too, after all.  However, the critical part of this is you follow through and deliver what they asked for when you said you will do it. If you don't, you lose trust. You want your boss to trust you. And if, for whatever reason, you find you cannot do what you said you would do, when you said you would do it, you must inform them as soon as you know—something my video editor will do.  And incidentally, you should be doing this with your customers and clients too. This can be another area where some preconceived ideas about customers and clients can lead to productivity issues.  Be clear when you are communicating with your customers and clients. Set realistic expectations—and telling them that you will always be available if they ever need you is not a realistic expectation. What happens if you're giving birth when they call (as happened to one of my clients), or you're in a meeting with another client?  Tell your customers how best to get in touch with you and that if you cannot respond immediately you will get back to them as soon as you can.  I hope that has helped, Sam. Thank you for your question and thank you for listening.  It just remains for me now to wish you all a very very productive week.
