From YouTube
Using Veo 3 to create AI-generated music videos, like a Tiny Desk concert with Notorious B.I.G.
How I AI Podcast • August 18, 2025
In this episode, Claire Vo and Anish Acharya demonstrate end-to-end AI workflows to produce a Tiny Desk–style concert video for Notorious B.I.G.—from GPT40 prompt engineering and V3 video generation to stem separation with Demox and lip-sync animation via Hedra—and show how to build a Google AI Studio app using Gemini Flash 1.5 that catalogs books from a simple flip-through video.
Key Takeaways:
- Anish Acharya used GPT40 and V3 to generate ’90s grunge–Seattle–inspired clips and assembled them in Capwing into a Tiny Desk–style concert video for Notorious B.I.G.
- He downloaded a live Notorious B.I.G. cover from YouTube with 4K Video Downloader, separated vocals using Demox’s two-stem feature in Adobe Audition, and lip-synced them to AI visuals via Hedra.
- He built a web app in Google AI Studio with Gemini Flash 1.5 that processes a video flip-through of his book collection, automatically extracting and listing each book’s title and author.
