I just tried this and Gemini won’t produce a video without setting a paid subscription. So not really 100% free.
Ah yeah, totally hear you on that â some tools can be tricky like that. But donât worry, there are ways around it and other free options out there too. In my free AI training, I show more ways to make this work without getting tripped up by paywalls. You can grab it at iampauljames.com

Dont understand, whether you are so naive, that a feature of google gemini which is called Veo 3.1 which has been there for a long time now, and already creates videos from images, you think it is a new feature. Now whether you call it a video or animation, or motion, but its been there. You woke up pretty late to this reality.
Totally hear you! I stay super deep into AI updates daily, but sometimes platforms rebrand or improve features and roll them out like theyâre brand new â it can definitely feel like dĂ©jĂ vu. Thatâs why I focus more on how people can actually use these tools to make money, whether itâs new or just updated.

And if youâre serious about moving quicker, my course is at pauljames.com/GetCourse â thereâs a special price but itâs only good until midnight tonight.
Can you do all this with just the $19.99 a month subscription?
Yeah, great question! You actually donât need to pay anything monthly to get started. AI tools can now handle a lot of what used to cost $100s a monthâit’s kinda wild. I use Systeme.io as a free alternative to stuff like GHL since it’s way more affordable and does the job đ„
