AI Tools We Use: Midjourney

You're starting to see AI generated art everywhere these days. We are going to talk specifically about 2 use cases here at Free Radical Labs in which we use Midjourney as the basis for our art. AI generated art will never supplant the need for a good graphic designer or illustrator, but it can help you in the right instances - especially if you have a little time to devote to using it properly.

AI Tools We Use: Opus Clip

I didn't honestly realize how many people read the captions on IG reels and YT shorts. Captioning your content is a powerful and necessary addition and being able to add stylish captions easily can help them stand out. Last season we talked about the rabbit hole that using AI can throw you into, so I guess I am reporting live from that rabbit hole. Opus Clips didn't sponsor this, but since we like sharing we wanted other folks to know how we use it and how it can help you reach and keep your audience.

Divorcing Dell (and Windows)

It took us (well, me) 30 years, but we learned our lesson about trying to be a creative agency and using Windows. Long story short, it doesn't end well. I never thought I'd say it, but we are moving all of our machines to Macs in the near future. Its been fun using Windows, but Windows seems to struggle with media-intensive applications, especially after its frequent updates. I know I've overpaid for my Apple products, but they just work and work well together. I'm not telling Apple users anything new, but as someone who worked in corporate America where Windows is present everywhere... this is a big step for us.
