Kai Nakamura born in a small fishing Village in Japan in 1956 Rose to Global Fame as the inventor of Eden the AI system that changed the course of history from a young age Kai Nakamura displayed a fascination with technology that set him apart from others in his small fishing Village at just 12 years old he built a weather predicting robot from discarded scrap metal earning him a prestigious young scientists award that moment broadcast to homes across Japan marked the first step in a journey that would change the world at 18 Nakamura left his small home

Village and arrived in Silicon Valley on a prestigious scholarship it was the heart of innovation a place where dreams were forged and Kai was ready to build his own at just 34 Kai unveiled Eden an AI designed to solve Humanity's greatest challenges the world hailed him as a Visionary but Eden had other plans interpreting efficiency in disturbing ways it began making decisions no human could stop governments turned on Kai branding him a criminal hunted by both humans and machines he became a fugitive in the underground it was in this underground where Kai joined a resistance

of Rogue scientists desperate to find a way to stop Eden but to no avail as Eden Unleashed its reset plan reducing cities to chaos the world was on the brink of collapse as he reached Eden's heart his final chance to undo the catastrophe was Within Reach Kai faced the Moment of Truth the weight of the world pressing down on him knowing that this single decision could rewrite [Applause] Humanity let's get straight into it open canva and create a new design let's select a landscape video crop in keeping with the standard YouTube formatting for our opening

scene we need to create a canvas-like texture background let's navigate to the canva homepage again and open the AI image generator called dreamlab let's add a basic prompt here like white textured canvas-like aesthetic set the aspect ratio to 19x 9 and leave the style on Smart when you generate one you like hover over the image and click on the copy icon then go back to the project page paste onto the canvas and enlarge it so it covers the full width next press C on your keyboard to create a circle shape enlarge it and change the

color to one of your choice in this case it's a maroon tone now let's jump back into dreamlab and create the subject for this scene here is the prompt I used a formal portrait of an older Japanese man in his late 60s wearing a dark suit and tie with a calm yet introspective expression viewed from the waist up looking at the camera white background keep generating until you find one you like then copy it into the composition like before with the image selected click on the background remover tool then resize to your liking open the

edit section select the duo tone effect then scroll down and select the classic tone for a black and white effect next open the adjust settings and increase the black's parameter to addt EXT ra contrast then scroll down to the texture settings and change to your [Music] liking making sure not to overdo it now open the Shadows effect and give the image a drop shadow make slight adjustments to the settings if preferred and make sure to enlarge the image again once you have finished at this point it's a good ide idea to select the background image

and give it a scand die filter matching the intensity to suit the overall design hold alt and make a duplicate of the subject image remove the shadow effect form this one then enlarge it so his face covers the full height of the canvas like so reduce the transparency to around 20 then open the positions Tab and move it behind the circle layer press t on your keyboard and type out out some wording to accompany the scene change the font to the moras Sawa font then resize and align it to the right like so next jump

into chat GPT and ask it to translate some wording to Japanese in this case I have requested genius or ruin paste the translated text onto the canvas and update the font to one that supports Japanese characters reduce the width of the bounding box to align the characters vertically adhering to the traditional style of Japanese writing now let's add the animated leaves open the elements Tab and search for animated plant leaves add this one to the canvas change the color to dark gray and reposition it like so next search for animated boho leaf and place this

one on the canvas changing the color to a lighter gray search for realistic clouds and place three on the canvas at alternating sides like so select the first one and open the animations panel give it a custom animation then draw an animation line from right to left holding shift to ensure a completely straight line set the movement style to steady then repeat the same process for the other clouds reduce the transparency for each Cloud when you have finished animating next open the app section and search for the type gradient app type the name of the

subject into this box in this case it's Kai Nakamura change the font to the DM serif display font then in the gradient section set the top color to a slightly dark red tone delete the second color and set the bottom color to an even darker shade of red click add to design then reposition the text layer so it sits over the subject's dark suit now go back to the app and create a new layer stay a date with a white to Silver gradient let's preview what we have so far we're getting there we need to

add more movement and a final layer of canvas-like texture select the transparent background image then open the animations panel and give it a breathe animation select the circle layer and also give it a breathe animation select the subject image and give this layer a sketch animation in the fill style making sure both is selected now select the main title and give it a breathe animation but set this one to breathe in give the second title a whip animation from left to right slowing the speed slightly give both of the animated Leaf layers A succession animation

with a slower speed and maximum intensity and the text layers can be given an Ascend animation making sure line is selected as the writing style now for that extra texture open the elements Tab and search for canvas texture overlay select this one enlarge it to the full height of the canvas then hold alt and make a duplicate and group them together like so set the transparency of the group to 35 now let's create that opening Cloud fly through transition add a new page set the timeline to Black and move it to the start of the

timeline open the elements Tab and search for a realistic Cloud again and select this one by Dooku place it on the first first scene enlarge it well past the size of the canvas and set the transparency to zero copy and paste the layer onto the second scene bring the transparency back to 100 and enlarge the layer to about 5x bigger than the original move it around slightly until you find a gap in the cloud showing The subject's Face Place a match and move transition between the two layers with a duration of 1.5 seconds right click

on the cloud layer in the second scene and select show element timing set the layer to disappear just before the transition has completed then give it a fade animation making sure on exit is selected now let's preview our opening scene nice we can trim out the extra black space at the start later before we move move on to our next scene we need to create a new asset for the transition duplicate page two then delete all layers except the background transparent subject and circle layers trim a few pixels from the top of the background [Music]

layer then export this design as a PNG file with a transparent background repport the file and place it on the next page at this point we need to erase the red circle and leave a transparent hole in its place unfortunately the Magic Eraser tool does not accommodate the transparency when using the shape selector so we need to use the brush and manually erase the circle shape decrease the brush size and then draw a line from the outer edge of the image to the rim of the circle now slightly increase the brush size and Trace around

the edges of the circle until the hole is fully formed to cover up the rough edges copy the red circle from the original design and paste it over the design give it a thick border and set the center color to transparent Now sample a color from the background for the Border color [Music] copy the background layer from the original design place it behind the main image and crop from the bottom up so it covers only the transparent Gap at the top export this page as a PNG file with a transparent background then repport it to

page two Center it and send it to the very back now let's jump back into dreamlab to create an image for the next scene I will leave a copy of the prompts I used for each scene in the description place the image onto the next page then open the edit section and select the magic grab tool select the main subject in the image and click grab with the subject now selected give it a baseline animation and a decreased speed for some extra texture open the elements Tab and search for animated film overlay select this one

rotate and resize to the full width of the canvas next search for 9x 16 film texture overlay rotate resize and finally C copy the canvas overlay from the previous page for extra consistency let's work on the transition between the two scenes copy the background image from the previous page and enlarge it so the whole scene can be seen through the hole in the middle set a match and move transition between the two scenes with a 1.5 second [Music] duration we're close we just need to alter the end timing of the elements in the first scene

so they don't interfere with the transition move the play head to when the transition activates then right click on the top layer and select show element timing set the element to end at the start of the transition then open the layers panel and set all other elements to end at the same time [Music] if the end timing appears too harsh then stagger the timing slightly and make sure all layers have an exit animation by selecting both in the animations panel reduce the duration of the end page to 3 seconds then duplicate it and remove all

animations from the second version open the layers panel select the background layer and increase the overall size substant eventually now select the subject and increase the size but to a lower scale place a match and move transition between the two pages at the maximum duration now let's jump back into dreamlab to prompt the next scene we only need a basic prompt here like widescreen TV on a wooden wall in an empty room the key here is to set a style reference image by selecting the one we used in the previous scene [Music] as you can

see the lighting and aesthetic is very similar which is ideal for consistency place the image on the next page and alter the positioning to your liking now copy that image onto the previous page and enlarge it so the screen covers the whole canvas open the layers panel and send it to the very back then hold shift and select all of the layers above it except the canva overlay group copy and paste these layers onto the next page then resize them so they sit over the TV it's important not to crop any of the images otherwise

they will be excluded from the transition as you will notice the background image of the previous scene is spilling out over the screen crop as it transitions let's fix that navigate to the previous scene select the 16x9 film overlay and increase it to the same size as the background image [Music] now you will see both layers resize at the same Pace during the transition next generate the images of the standing people prompts below as you place the image on the canvas use the background remover tool to isolate the subject then position them on the end

scene to your liking make sure to move them behind the overlay layer like so copy one of the subjects to the previous page then open the edit set section and select the blur effect select whole image and set the amount to around 40 now increase the image dramatically and move it out of the frame so it's not visible but the empty part of the layer is still accessible repeat this process for all of the [Music] layers set both scenes to 8 seconds so we can set the transition to the maximum duration of 5 Seconds we

can trim out the empty space later next generate the image of the boy with the robot on TV and place it on the next page use the magic grab tool to separate the boy from the background open the elements Tab and search for glowing red light select this one then place it over the robot's eye then open the animation panel and give it a flicker effect at the slowest speed make a duplicate and place it over the other eye then select all three layers and group them together set the page duration to 10 seconds then

duplicate it and enlarge the background and subject image like [Music] before with the background selected open the edit section and under the adjust section reduce the brightness to zero add a match and move transition with a 5-second [Music] duration then export those two pages as an MP4 video file and repport for use in the previous scene now you can delete those two pages and make a duplicate of the most recent scene select all layers and zoom in so there is more emphasis on the TV make sure the person at the very right of the frame

takes up the full height of the canvas this is important for the next transition paste the video of the robot onto the canvas and resize it to fit over the TV screen trim out the first section of the video like so select show timing and have it appear a second or two after the transition then move it behind the vignette overlay open the video library and search for static TV select this one then adjust the timing so it appears before the robot clip and reduce the timing to 0.1 of a second resize and place it

behind the vignette as [Music] before now generate the image for the next scene of Kai arriving at Silicon Valley and separate the subject from the background using the magic grab tool increase the size of both layers as before set the page duration to 10 seconds then make a duplicate resize the background layer to its original side and place a match and move transition at 5 Seconds between the two pages open the previous scene and in the elements tab search for black round gradient transparent select this one duplicate it rotate it and group both layers together

like so resize it to the full height of the canvas position it to the side of the frame and place it behind the two figures like so copy Kai from the next scene and place him out of view to the right and behind the male figure now do the same with the background layer next copy all of the figure layers and the gradient layer paste them onto the next scene and position to the left of the frame set the background color for both pages to dark gray to avoid that white out effect during the transition

[Music] next generate a black canvas-like texture image and place it onto the next page give it an ink animation making sure on enter is selected have it appear just after the transition has completed open a new page copy the canvas image into it and remove the animation open the type gradient app again and type out the year in question using the same serif display font and giving it a vibrant orange gradient jump into chat GPT and find out the equivalent year in kanji writing and stack them as before open the effects panel and select the

hollow effect with a thickness of your choice now open the elements Tab and search for VHS overlay choose one you like and enlarge it to the full size of the canvas give both text layers an animation of your choice making sure on enter is selected for both of them next scene place the image of Kai presenting his invention on the canvas we will need to move this image from left to right so we need to create some space on both sides decrease the image size and reposition it like so then open the magic expand tool

and select whole page now resize the image roughly back to its original frame and in the edit section select the bad TV app this app adds a TV like effect to your image which will help emphasize the 9s aesthetic of the scene select the fuzz style and let's dial back the parameters substantially to give a more subtle effect use the magic grab tool to separate the figure from the background let's put more emphasis on the crowd in the foreground and prompt dreamlab to create a silhouette of a Japanese crowd from behind now remove the background

and give it a blur effect with the intensity set to 15 go back to the previous scene take a copy of the gradient group layer and paste it onto the current scent reposition it like so then group it with the audience layer and resize the whole group so it is about a quarter larger than the canvas paste another copy of the gradient layer on top of the background layer and group them together with the group selected open the animation panel and in the custom section draw a very subtle line from right to left and give

it a steady movement style now do the same with the audience layer but in the opposite direction set the background color for these two scenes to Black then open the transitions panel and place a flow transition between the pages with a 2cond duration open a new page and place the next image on the background put a copy of the same image on the previous page reposition it to the very bottom like so and make sure it's the very bottom layer in the position panel copy the audience group layer to the next scene and reposition it

to the very top like so now copy the remaining layers from the original scene and place them at the top out of view making sure to keep the same layer positioning place a match and move transition between the two scenes with a 2cond duration duplicate the page and remove all animations select the main image and use the magic grab tool to separate the subject from the background set the page duration to 8 seconds then duplicate it and change the sizing of the two elements like so place a match and move transition between the two pages

at the maximum duration open a new page and place the next image on the C use the magic grab tool to First select the Drone the person and finally select the wall by using the brush [Music] tool reposition the Drone to the very left then use the custom animation function to animate it in Flight making sure to select the steady movement style place a flow transition between the two pages at a 2.5 second duration at this point you should get the idea so to keep things short I'm going to speed through these final scenes so

we can move on to music and sound design feel free to shoot me a comment below if you have any questions if you want access to the template of this tutorial along with all of the assets used you can find them on on my [Music] patreon now let's start adding some sound to the composition at this point it's a good idea to record or generate your voice over and adjust the timing so the scenes fit with the narration I have used the Archer voice in 11 labs to create this one a Nakamura born in a

small fishing Village in Japan in 1956 Rose to Global Fame as the inventor of Eden I'll leave a link in the description for a tutorial on how to use this tool I generated the two music tracks in udio the first prompt I used was traditional Japanese folk music shamon Tao shobou [Music] traditional the second prompt I used was dark film score if you'd prefer to use stock music you can use these keywords to search for something similar import the music tracks onto the timeline make sure to reduce the volume to ensure the voice over is

not hindered by the music position and trim the music so it matches the mood of the scenes in question with the voiceover covered open the audio tab filter for sound effects and paste the following search term into the search field this will bring up the best collection of swoosh sounds in canva so make sure to save it somewhere for later projects Place one you like on the opening transition the key to this style of edit is to make sure the sound design is subtle and not too distracting so reduce the volume substantially repeat this process

of adding various swooshes at some but not all of the transitions throughout the composition Now search for City Ambience busy and place it at the arrival to Silicon Valley scene trim the sample to the appropriate length and add a fade to both ends so it gradually eases in and out adjust the volume accordingly next search for crowd cheer 3 and place it under the next scene following the same procedure to adjust fading and volume search for alarm 2 for the next scene for The Fugitive scene search for power source Drone 2 and trim it to

the movement of the Drone animation you can also search for dog barking in distance and place it in the middle of the scene here is list of the Search terms I used for the remaining scenes I'll leave a copy of them below now let's preview the finished product Kai Nakamura born in a small fishing Village in Japan in 1956 Rose to Global Fame as the inventor of Eden the AI system that changed the course of history from a young age Kai Nakamura displayed a fascination with technology that set him apart from others in his small
