AI creates a complete one-minute video

Social media has recently been flooded with AI slop. This weird, surreal, and sometimes horrific content distorts reality and drives massive engagement.

It’s fast, cheap, and totally addictive—but it’s also empty.

No story. No point. Just digital junk food.

But something new has entered the scene.

A group of researchers from NVIDIA and Stanford just released studies that show how AI can generate actual stories from simple prompts.

Their model was shown creating a 1-minute video using Tom & Jerry with consistent characters and action.

This is looking more promising for AI-powered creativity, but there’s still a catch.

AI slop and AI stories both do the same thing—they keep people scrolling.

Whether it’s junk or genius, both point to a future where people can get lost in endless self-generating content.

The 3-Part System I Use to Train High Quality Video Editors

I’ve made over 800 YouTube videos—and for a long time, giving feedback to editors felt like a full-time job.

I’d spend more time writing comments than it would’ve taken to just do the edit myself.

It was frustrating, exhausting, and I constantly felt like the only way to maintain quality was to stay hands-on.

But that changed when I stopped trying to give better feedback—and instead built a system that made feedback almost unnecessary.

Here’s the 3-part system I now use to make sure my editors deliver top tier videos:

1. I documented everything: pacing, transitions, color grading, typography, lower-thirds, music preferences—so my editors aren’t guessing what “my style” means. Then I use that as a template and create style manuals for all my clients.
2. I storyboard each video that outlines key beats before the edit even starts. It covers everything from the Broll, sound effects, and even emotion of the scenes. This has drastically cut down the back and forth in post production.
3. I don’t rewrite the same comments every time. I point editors back to the manual (“check section 3.2 for transitions”) so they actually learn—and I can refine the system when something breaks.

This workflow has saved me countless hours, improved quality, and helped me scale multiple channels and hundreds of millions of views.

Canva’s Biggest Update Yet: The Highlights

Canva just dropped its biggest product update ever.

Some of these features are nice to have, but others will completely change the current workflows in our business.

Here are our highlights:

1. Sheets: Canva now has its own spreadsheet tool. And it’s surprisingly good. You can import CSVs, build from templates, use AI “magic formulas,” and even generate visual charts and insights automatically. This will potentially change workflows for content calendars, planning, and client deliverables.
2. Code: You can now generate front-end code (like pricing calculators or contact forms) using prompts inside Canva’s AI engine. If you’re running a productized service or building lead-gen tools for your audience, this is definitely worth a try.
3. Multi-Design Projects: You can now manage an entire content campaign—YouTube thumbnails, Instagram posts, Reels, pitch decks, and even whiteboards—in a single project file. No more juggling 12 tabs or copy-pasting between designs.
4. Captions + Voiceovers: Creators can now generate animated captions (i.e. karaoke-style) and even AI voiceovers in multiple accents and languages—directly in the editor. If you’re making short-form content, reels, or educational videos, this will save hours.

Canva is already a staple product for most creators who work with visual content.

But now with spreadsheets, coding, and multi-design projects, Canva can also become the all-in-one operational tool.
