Adding short music videos to the mix for posting music spotlights on YouTube. These can also be uploaded to Facebook maybe other places in the future.
Using OneTake which was used for 16:9 podcast music video and FrameTV style video shows . It can change the created 16:9 format to 9:16 making it a short video that is too long. Need to recall that the subject matter needs to be centered in the 16:9 video for that to work. Once in the format it can be put into Flexclip for editing.
Once in a while post a short to YouTube to promote a song and have that shared with subscribers. Posting these more often in Facebook as a real to promote the YouTube channel is the idea.

The YouTube Shorts feed is a dedicated space within the YouTube app where users can discover and watch short-form, vertical videos, typically under 60 seconds in length. It's designed as a place to consume bite-sized content, similar to other platforms like TikTok and Instagram Reels. Users can swipe through a continuous feed of Shorts, with the algorithm recommending videos based on their viewing history and other signals.

I could create short videos of less and full song. The song creation is built around awareness of thoughts and topics. Take for example the journal series covering love and relationships I have posted. There are many moments in the songs that touch my spirit. I could pull those out into short videos with images of movement. Once I explore this deeper a single song would support my creation of three videos, and one or more short videos.

Since December 2024 gained access a music AI generator which creates songs with lyrics. I have been working with this now and the various image and video making solutions I have access to for eight months. This week I have been checking audio quality that occurs as videos are created. As I shared with a friend every time I touch a file with a solution it creates a different file. It is not editing the original it is making another separate file pulling from the file provided. I try and recall this and the processes I use. Here is what I have now as a flow for song creation which does not apply to instrumental music.
Generate song, add with image and create FlexClip video. (result video 1)
Take video 1 and create OneTake video. (result video 2 mp4.ot and same audio mp3.ot)
Onetake mp4 posts as podcast due to its clear sound and standard resolution. Onetake mp3.ot is taken to FlexClip.
Take mp3.ot and image used at the start and create another FlexClip video. (result video 3 mp4.4K and audio mp3.4K)
FlexClip mp4.4K posted on playlist for viewing and the audio is richer with larger range of highs and lows. The mp3.4K is used next)
Take FlexClip mp4.4K and create ZebraCat video which provided subtitles of lyrcs. (result video 3)
Post the ZebraCat video to podcat and playlist with lyrcs for viewing. The audio is different than FlexClip 4K and OneTake.
The ZebraCat does a nice job with subtitles yet cuts the ends off not sure presently if that is caused by length limits. Thinking I would like to extend the end on these videos by putting the ZebraCat video into FlexClip and add a ending image to it so it it stays on screen a bit longer. Generic music if possible to fit all song styles would be nice also but not likely possible.

Creating videos with subtitles of lyrics has been a learning curve. Now I have added 0.05 sec starting and ending screens to allow the mind to adjust between songs. The breaks I had for stand alone songs are removed in this video making process.
My shared information and demo views of these solutions used the the above process:
Onetake ( Nice sound for mid range and hearing the lyrics)

ZebraCat (Use the live show feel mp3 here and focus in the subtitles of the lyrics in the video)
https://storydoy-news.mylandingpages.co/su1724/
FlexClip - notes not added yet (When adding the OneTake mp3 to this the result is a fuller sound like a live show)
Here is an example of what I think occurs from the process above taking one song I enjoy:
Here is the studio sound track podcast:

Here is the life concert sound with higher highs and more challenging to hear the lyrics. The sound is fuller and energy is different.

Here is the ZebraCat with the lyric subtitles, it is sad that my dyslexia prevents me from correctly the subtitles when they are off. These appear to do a really good job compared to what I have seen other solutions do.

This started in December 2023 with the idea of creating images and stories with the release of AI solutions. The additional idea of designing three or more shows to wrap the creations within. My lack of recall has greatly impacted this process. Each time I create something the processes used even when written in notes, recorded on computer and even placed into online management solutions have not been useful. I can not recall what I do or where I place things.
Now trying this public knowledge base idea to collect my thoughts.
There is an interest in creating images mixed with music as well beside the shows idea. I now have Protoplay I can post long music mixed with images shows. These images do not have to be the very best of ideas they can include the raw building blocks.
YouTube and Protoplay can host the shows which would present the higher quality images closer to the idea and goals that were the focus.
I have a way to host image viewing of some of the creations as well. This is separate from the library of created works that occur along the ways.
The idea of bringing various parts together is being explored as well.
Video has link to web page, there is the idea behind the creation, links to additional images and notes on what solutions and tools were used. There is also an interest in exploring creating stories and various ways which could be hosted off this web page as well.
Protoplay:
Image with music videos
Youtube and Protoplay:
Shows
Web site hosting creation pages:
These would be one page for each creation. This page would provide:
- Idea or goal behind the creation
- Access to images for viewing
- More story options
- Solutions used
- Tools used
- Embed video that was posted on YouTube
