Tools: CauseWriter.aiAnthropic.comD-id.comDescript.com[00:00:00] How’s it going, George from CauseWriter.ai. I also have whole, well, I’m going to do a quick example of how I’m going to use cause writer to actually create the following article, but. This is entirely written. So this is all about the Facebook recent changes, and I’ve got a YouTube video and I got AI and all of this was quickly generated by. Me using AI and, and creating a video that has a. AI speaking and overlay. I just want to show you how this. Starts from an article. So I have an article I’m going to go grab all that text. So I grab all that text and then I jump into cause writer, which has. [00:00:45] And many different custom AI bots in it. And one of them is a large context window Claude model, where I pop in to the Claude and model usually. Correct. Never in doubt. And I tell it the following summarize key points of this article, and then it has at it. Yes, there’s extra prompts behind this, but that’s part of this whole tool. So in it goes, I paste that in. It comes back with my key points. I’m like, oh great. Thanks, Matt is going to stop covering donation fees after October 31st under is going to have the option to cover fees. All right. That’s something. I got some dev work. Ignore that. All right. Explain why this matters to nonprofits. So I’m prompting another reply to happen in here where it’s going to summarize the key points, but also with the. Toward that audience. All right. We need to take action to do these terms and make sure you don’t have any disruption to service grades seem to cover those points. Ignore the dev stuff. And then turn this into a YouTube script that has a quality hook and retains attention to the end. Okay. Great. So I get my script. And I’m going to go ahead and. Grab all that. Gotcha. Now here is the next step. We’re going to pop over to D hyphen ID. So D-ID.com and go in and we paste our script. Great. We’re going to choose a voice we’re going to choose. So hypothetically, we could just have me talking and doing it, but I that’s, that’s what I do. I wanted not me to do it. So he choose. You know, somebody else in here to, to do it, we’ll choose different characters. Whoever show. Be named we can choose different styles. No, we’re not doing terrified. We’re going to go cheerful. And so there we go. We have the script audio, and it goes about doing it. And what we end up with. Is I’m just going to speed it to the next step. Is this, this video. So we get a. Guy speaking through. [00:02:38] All right. So we download that. The thing is that’s just going to give us this square video. And so what we need to do is go into Descript, wait for it. Okay, Descript, which is a great editing tool locally on your drive. And you see, I popped in the actual video and then I did a screen recording, much like I’m doing a screen record right now of what’s going on in, in Facebook. And I can edit through it. I also add in the text. So this text is got this dynamic inserted text, which is pretty cool. And I will show you right here. [00:03:16] So this text. There’s a title. We pop it in and the captions. I said it to captions. So it goes through that and then just for fun. And then the effects I go to the The style, which is active word highlight, which I really like. It just like pops over. The highlighted words. As, as they kind of go through and that’s, that’s how you get that different effect. [00:03:38] And all I’m doing is just screen recording here and giving that as a record.

Day of Service 9/11 & Surprising Nonprofit Salary Benchmarks [Video]

nonprofitnewsfeed.com Opening of New Performing Arts Center Coincides With Commemoration of The Events of September 11thEvery year, the week of September 11th is a week of commemoration. New York is filled with stories of this day — stories of loss, of bravery, of sacrifice, of reunion. But perhaps most visible, the physical World Trade Center, yes a place of reflection and commemoration, is also piece by piece becoming a place that has been rebuilt in the spirit of American persistence. The WTC, operated by the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey, has announced the opening of its new performing arts center, as reported by AP. “The memorial is here for people to come and grieve and pay their respects. The museum is for people to learn, be aware and never forget,” says Khady Kamara, PAC NYC’s executive director. “And the Performing Arts Center is here for people to celebrate life and really celebrate the resilience of New Yorkers and of the country.” The opening comes at a time when arts have struggled in the City, and could provide a meaningful jolt to the creative ingenuity that in many ways defines what makes New York great. Other efforts to turn tragedy into action and resilience are highlighted by the work of nonprofits like 9/11 Day, which encourages folks do good deeds each year. It has become the largest day of service in the United States.Read more ➝ ——-Listen to our podcast: Wholewhale.com/PodcastOn Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/WholeWhaleTweet us: @WholeWhaleOur website: WholeWhale.com/
