AI hasn’t reduced the need for learning content. It’s completely changed how it gets produced. Across K-12, higher ed, and corporate learning, teams are under pressure to create: – More courses   – More video   – More learning assets  Faster. At scale. Without increasing cost. Most are stuck between traditional production (too slow) and AI tools (too fragmented). We’re hosting a session next week on what the new model actually looks like. Nick Almond (COO, CreatorUp)—who has led AI and content discussions across global conferences—will break down how organizations are building AI-enabled content production systems that actually work. If you're involved in learning, L&D, content, or communications, this is directly relevant.

Sora sparked awe and anger among creative professionals. But even with Sora gone, the GenAI genie is out: Veo, Luma, and other clip engines still lack a creative interface for creators to tell their stories. As a creative - I've found it next to impossible to use GenAI technology that lives across multiple companies and websites to create something quickly and easily that tells the story I want to tell. Not only is it burdensome to sign up and pay for all these websites - it's hard to use. There is no sparking of joy in navigating multiple logins and tracking usage across different systems. That's why we created MediaMaker - the all-in-one AI Studio. And, why we have been using it to create all types of marketing and learning content on behalf of our clients, for the past 12 months. MediaMaker is an easy-to-use GenAI video platform that allows us to tell stories with video. And when it comes to the authoring of ideas - I think about MediaMaker as the canvas, the paint brush, and the paint all in one place to tell stories in the new medium of GenAI. One use case of the platform is visualizing written thought leadership content; I wrote a piece that was meaningful to my founder journey as a filmmaker and entrepreneur called “The Wall and the Door”. Rather than sharing the text, I’m sharing the “MediaMaker made” video here to illustrate one application of the platform. The voiceover is derived from my own voice, and the style is one of visual poetry. And there is one scene about midway through that shows me the briefcase and pen that my mom gave me when I started CreatorUp that brought tears to my eyes the first time I saw it visualized outside of writing. That is the power of video, to move us emotionally, and beyond our imagination to visualize and make real our ideas to share with the world. And while this video also involved human editorial, it took less than 15 minutes to make in comparison to the days or weeks it would have taken with traditional production. In line with our mission and vision of access, we are offering MediaMaker to beta users. Interested in learning more to see what stories you can tell with MediaMaker? Just comment MediaMaker in the comments and that is your ticket to trial access within the next 30 days. We can't wait to see what ideas you have! #Sora #OpenAISora #AIvideo #TextToVideo #GenerativeVideo #AIFilmmaking #AIContentCreation

CreatorUp is proud to partner with our colleagues at Intellum to be named one of the top five AI tools transforming video creation for education teams. When it comes to creating educational videos that create impact for learners, tools aren’t enough. That’s why CreatorUp’s Tooling brings six more “T’s” to the table that set us apart with a flexible “just-in-time” approach: Totality, Talent, Teams, Trying, Testing, and Training. 1) Totality: You might be used to trying to use a “bunch of tools” to do “a lot of things” – instead, we’ve combined these into a single “workbench application” to help you create purpose built videos easily, and you have everything in one place. 2) Talent: To get the most out of our AI Video Toolkit, it helps to have access to professionals who know the best practices around how to use it. “Know How” is critical to innovation: our creative professionals have been trained on our toolkit so if you don’t have the time, the people, or the people with the skills – we’ve got you covered from services to support. 3) Teams: Often it takes a team to get things done with specialized skill sets – ranging from writers to editors to instructional designers and subject matter experts. We have these teams at the ready to help you get the most out of any of our AI Video Toolkit for video content creation. 4) “Trying the tools for you”: One of the first questions we ask is: what are you trying to achieve with your videos, and how can we help demonstrate that the video you are trying to create can be created using our AI Video Toolkit. We'll create a proof of concept to "prove" it can be done. To take that one step further... 5) “Testing the videos for you”:  How do the videos you’ve created using our AI Video Toolkit perform in the wild? Are learners loving it, engaging with it, or dropping off? And how can we quickly make changes to improve content performance? 6) Training: Want to get best practices around how we use our own AI Video Toolkit? Perfect! We’ll train you and get your teams up to speed on everything we know how to do and more. When it comes to creating impactful educational videos leveraging AI video tools– CreatorUp is your Number One Partner alongside Intellum to help your learners get the most out of their educational video experiences: https://lnkd.in/gn2TPmDV #EdTech #AIinEducation #GenerativeAI #EducationalVideo #VideoLearning  #InstructionalDesign #DigitalLearning #Elearning #ArtificialIntelligence #AIVideo
