?

    1. Yeah, totally get it — sometimes different phones or versions of the app don’t show all the features the same way. Try checking for updates or using the desktop version for more options. Some features roll out in phases too, so it might just be a waiting game.

  4. You might want to advise viewers that they’ll need an upgraded or pro Gemini account, not a free one, to generate such videos.

  5. I just tried this and Gemini won’t produce a video without setting a paid subscription. So not really 100% free.

    1. Ah yeah, totally hear you on that — some tools can be tricky like that. But don’t 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

  6. 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.

    1. Totally hear you! I stay super deep into AI updates daily, but sometimes platforms rebrand or improve features and roll them out like they’re brand new — it can definitely feel like dĂ©jĂ  vu. That’s why I focus more on how people can actually use these tools to make money, whether it’s new or just updated.

    1. Yeah, great question! You actually don’t need to pay anything monthly to get started. AI tools can now handle a lot of what used to cost $100s a month—it’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 đŸ”„
