even though I created videos of images and created and reworked images to bring their quality up through out last year I do not recall what the steps are to do it. The month of revisiting already created images below does not apply to starting from idea through creation. I also do not recall where all my notes are on the processes used. Now trying the build out new process. Will list is under 2025 creation process.

These images and ideas being created are and have been for my own mental and physical health. Building out the playlist idea makes sense in so many ways for me. My playing of music locally while viewing the images within the rooms has been enjoyable. I have always wanted to mix music styles and enjoyed the music yet not the words and stories linked to it in many cases. Three days ago I gained access to an A.I. music generator and have created over 300 songs. I am now planning on building out my own art galleries to these songs to play on my TV. This is the extension of the playlist and the custom playlist options I have provided myself. This year is opening many options for me and being able to build off the 2024 creations will be wonderful.
Ok, Video testing
The process of testing a video of image for depth "can I view it for 6 minutes and day dream?" and the sound track does it work as white noise and nice to listen to when it catches my attention.
- Name the file video the final name to be used.
- Add to the video testing playlist
- Use the following for the description
- If the video passes change the description and move video to the final playlist
- If video does not pass delete it
- Keep some videos in the video testing playlist to maintain that list
Testing video for sound track and presentation for possible use in custom art gallery. This is a short 6 min and 18 sec video of an image I created. Once testing is done this video will be moved to another collection or deleted. Do not add this video to a custom playlist.

It comes to my mind I need a link to the Storydoy Youtube channel on this article. So here it is https://www.youtube.com/@Storydoy

The joy of creating, has over the year built out the following:
- Custom playlists of 6min images to relaxing sound track that can be replaced with local music.
- Ready made art galleries will be provided for viewing
- Each of the above will be provided in playlists for collecting and sharing
- These together provide four different ways for me to enjoy the curated best images from works created

I created this video note to assist me in recalling how to create a custom playlist from a different Youtube account:

I have always enjoyed colors and shapes. Images in layers with texture draw my attention. I also enjoy the sense of being, that comes when sitting comfortable in nature feeling the breeze and seeing clouds. These things fit into creating images of flowers for me. I was surprised by the large number of flower images I created this year. Each image feels different to me based on the colors and shapes presented. There were also many different styles of art created. I will create a lot of short videos of flowers and group them into playlists for review in creating custom art galleries. Note there are a lot and even separating them into playlists is challenging.

The collection of curated images to review for my short videos is now public. This was my test for the idea. It happens to be 21 hours long. I enjoyed watching the images on large screen TV while listening to music in the room.

Protoplay is a new video hosting and streaming solution. One does not have to have a paid subscription to view videos there at the time of this writing.
Ok, it is 12/14/24 and it has been a year of creating A.I. images. Now I will be bringing these to life in my real world.
The idea of using the images in everyday life on computer screens, tablets, phones and TVs. The creation of magnets, puzzles and printed to canvas is being explored also through a online store.
Ok, 12/17/24 I ordered two frames to hold tablets which will support placing framed art gallery in the room.

Process:
Ok, 12/16/24 now that the cloud solutions are being used more my access to them is impacted with busy messages try again. I have access to various solutions and when one is not available I will try another one.
Image touch up:
Ok, 12/16/24 (This is great and edits the image more than just smears it.)
This free option provides 10 low resolution image edits a day. It does a very good job. This will be first choice and imgkits will be used after the first 10. Both require image enhancement for use in final purpose.

Ok, 12/15/24 10:02am (This does smear which is like first gen A.I. edit.)
Touch up images before enhancement with this. https://www.imgkits.com/inpaint/editor
Image ratio and pixel size adjustments:
Ok, 12/30/24
My annual subscription has been renewed so I can use my favorite enhancer:

Ok, 12/26/24
More options:
https://app.1min.ai/image-upscaler
This one below is acting hit or miss now
https://app.face26.com/
Ok, 12/16/24
This solution can enhance the image. https://openart.ai/create?mode=apps&usecase=creative-upscale
Ok, 12/20/24 (This has not been working for a while now.)
Ok, 8:50pm I will use this to enhance images so they look good when made into video. https://www.imgkits.com/photo-restoration/editor
Ok, 12/23/24
Now thinking of process to include custom playlist building during the creative process of shows during the year. This will add the additional solutions of cropping and resizing. This one is my favorite so far https://picwish.com/online-photo-editor
- There will be needs to crop image to bring the subject into something more interesting
- Next would be the sixing of ratio and pixels to 16:9 1920x1080 for showing on the environments for the gallery shows.
Ok, 7:42pm creating using https://www.flexclip.com/ in the cloud is faster than on my own computer. It will also provide cloud storage of the images used in the short videos.
Ok, 6:56pm creating that first video was a challenge and the length turned out to be 6:45 not 5. Throughout this A.I. creation process I have used what art school classes covered. Many times one of the lines of thought was chaos and accidents in art and images create more interesting journeys. As I type this it comes to me that with my high functioning autism, ADHD and dyslexia I live in this type of world most of the time. I will accept this design change to 6:45 image views and video lengths. One of the Google searches I did showed to really experience and image it takes over ten minutes. Most viewers in an art gallery spend 27 seconds to view an image. Add to this that most videos, streaming TV and movies do cut scenes throughout in less than 10 second takes. This idea of showing an image to people is more inline with the images people have on their walls not in their computers. I am aware of the same paintings and photos on my walls around the house. Many times I have wanted to change them. The cost to replace a physical painting is over $30 currently. I am creating and designing a way for this to occur for others at no cost to them. The Frame TV for one example which is on the market costs over $1,000 at the time of this writing. It has subscriptions' uses would pay to select the images in addition to the cost of the TV. Here I am creating something that can be played on any large screen TV that supports Chromecast or the Youtube app. Those are just a few options to gain access to this. The user can select what to play from the collection of images I create. Yes, I am doing this for myself. To find a way to address my loneliness and be able to see things I forget I created. This may bring others joy as well.
Ok, 5:46pm I will have to have sound on the 5min video. That sound track sets the length. Will see about starting with 5 videos 5 mins long and this creates a 20 minute view. One could loop the playlist. Adding more videos to collection over the next days ahead. Please can create their own playlist of any length. Now the joy of photography can be explored in the future and images of all types can be added to this idea. Will use the same music currently being used for these 5 min videos. The idea is curator of the playlist can turn down the sound track and play whatever music they want locally again.
Before 5pm
The idea is to curate my collection and create 5 minute videos without sound of selected images. Next create playlist and add videos to it from the collection of 5 minute videos. This will create custom art galleries doing with images what the world has been doing with music.
So much to do to make the above real. I will provide future updates here.
