With the advent of AI subtitles comes new and exciting plugins. I picked up one called Magic Subtitles by Mr. AlexTech. Am still in the process of evaluating the Pro version. But looks pretty cool so far. For this video I decided to make a video short for YouTube. Notice the tight lip sync. Check it out... Website tips for video are:

• Vertical resolution in DaVinci Resolve from horizontal resolution source video is simple (not). Have you ever tried to convert a horizontal resolution video into a vertical resolution video?

  Not as easy as it sounds. You end up trying to resize and reposition everything. And then run into scaling problems. Yikes! Can be not worth the effort.

• In DaVinci resolve you can solve this problem by forcing the timeline resolution to be vertical. Go to "Project Settings - Master Settings - Timeline resolution" and check the box "Use vertical resolution. But it is best to reconstruct the video from scratch. Here's how In DaVinci Resolve 20 Studio.

• AI spokesperson as video presenters can save you a lot of money. Our human avatars only need a script or voice over file to work. BWT Videos has a large variety of avatars from every walk of life.
• AI subtitles in YouTube Shorts, Instagram and Reels are the latest thing. In DaVinci Resolve 20 Studio version this feature is built in. AI subtitles in DVR are pretty sophisticated but do not have all the functionality of Magic Subtitles.

  For instance this plugin features both a line item text editor and a nicely done user interface. But like DVR this one is complex. Might take a while to understand it's full potential. But, I've only made this one video with it so far.

What is cool about this video is I made it entirely from computer generated animation. Even the voice is computer generated. I use a product called HumanPal by Paul Ponna to create the avatars. The talent in this video Amelia Chuckle has a personality and emotion, also computer generated.

HumanPals are computer generated human avatars. They are getting more and more sophisticated as AI is the main force involved in their digitization. Adding personality and emotion to human actors can be make video represtenters more life-like. Learn more here...

Turntable Motors With Titles, my latest video, features some way cool animated titles and magic subtitles. Showing on your screen below is a video of (2) 100cc 2 stroke go-kart racing engines. Just a turntable shot of the motors spinning around. I thought it rather boring so I threw the kitchen sink at it. Also, I wanted to evaluate a new DaVinci Resolve plugin I found, called "Magic Subtites." Check it out, then read my website tips below...

Website tips for this post are:

1. Magic Subtitles by Mr. AlexTech is a DaVinci Resolve Studio plugin. It creates fancy subtitles using embedded functionality. In other words it is a tool that utilizes and overrides the inherent subtitle tool. It features a Fusion-Title panel where you can change all the parameters of a custom textbox. Plus added features like "fix a mistake." And why is that important?
2. AI speech to text engines hallucinate occassionally (like every 5 minutes). Which results in bad transcriptions. So, a one line text editing box becomes a fabulous timesaver. For fixing misspelled words, wrong interpretations and bad English, on the fly. Plus magic subtitles has all the other tools included for animating text. That is if you have DaVinci Resolve 20 Studio. This plugin combines subtitles with the fusion composition tool and has a well thought out user interface. And that is just the free version.
3. With the help of AI we can now transcribe speech to text in an instant. And screw it up just as fast. With tools like this one we can fix what AI hallucinates. Then animate it to finish polishing your content.

Almost anything is possible with exceptional editing capabilities. Make your video stand out from the competition with Dynamic Captions. Learn more on the next page...

1935 Auburn Duesenberg Speedster review and interview with Al Rogers of Stahl's Motors and Music Experience. Okay so Stahl's is a local museum that sponsored some of the 2025 Woodward Dream Cruise. My friend Steve Pasteiner owns a hobby shop on Woodward Ave. So, naturally I migrated there. And he has a free hot dog stand. Whilst admiring all the cool cars and eating hot dogs in Pasteiner's parking lot, I bumped into the Stahl's museum curator who was showing the car. He agreed to let me record his schpiel. Here it is...

1935 Auburn Duesenberg Speedster

Website tips for this video are:

Impromptu interviews are fraught with errors. You never know what the interviewee is going to do. You are forced to use available lighting and the sound quality is subject to the environment. What to do? Shoot lots of b-roll footage. Or, plan follow up shoots.

Since this was an "off the cuff" and unpaid production, I shot lots of b-roll and did not plan a follow up shoot.

First thing Al (interviewee) did after I gave him the "go" signal was to step forward which ruined my carefully framed shot. I did not stop him or start over because I knew I could cover it with b-roll.

Voice isolation. One thing you don't hear much of are all the cars in the background revving their engines. That is because of DaVinci Resolve's "Voice isolation" option. I put a little iso on the audio tracks but not much. I actually like all the background noise.

Changing lighting conditions. It was a partly cloudy day with lighting conditions changing by the second. Solution is manual exposure settings. As opposed to auto-exposure. I knew a cloud passing by or a chrome reflection would drastically alter exposure if set to auto.

Overall preperation. For this day I used my go pack or small camera bag. I knew I would be doing only hand held slice of life type shooting and was not expecting to do an interview. So, I did not include any microphones other than what is on the camera. I figured I would be fine with only the camera microphones. However after this I plan to include my wireless lapel mics. from now on.

Building a Reedjet pressure test is a short video I made that was originally intended to be a how-to tutorial. But along the way I went into time lapse mode hoping to make the video shorter. In the end I sped it up even faster to make it a very short piece indeed. Here it is...

Building A Reedjet Pressure Test

3 Tips for Crafting a Time-Lapse Video Tutorial:

1. Lock in Consistent Camera Settings. Switch to full manual mode. Set your exposure, focus, and white balance manually (no auto-) to prevent flicker and keep every frame uniform. This will even out lighting inconsistentsies.

   Wish I had done that in this video as the flicker level is very high. However, I had a controlled lighting set and was (over) confident exposure changes woulldn't be a problem. At normal speed the flicker is insignificant. At a higher playback speed flicker is more noticable.

2. Stabilize Your Setup and Pick a Dynamic Subject Mount your camera on a sturdy tripod to eliminate shake. Choose a scene with gradual, noticeable motion like moving clouds, bustling traffic, or plants growing to showcase the time-lapse effect clearly.

   Even though I locked down the camera I still got framing issues jumping from scene to scene. To smooth out those jump cuts I used a 4 frame dissolve at the transition, along with some post-production zooming to match sizes of the objects in frame.

3. Layer Clear Narration and On-Screen Guidance. Write a concise script that walks viewers through gear setup, exposure choices, and interval planning. Record a voice-over and sync it with on-screen text or graphics above your sped-up clips so learners can follow each step in real time.

   And that is a lot of work in post production. Alternatively, you can narrate along with the playback and record as you go. In DaVinci Resolve and Camtasia there exists the option to record a voice over while playing the video. With this technique you can accomplish all those tips listed above at the same time.
