Blog Update – Using AI Tech Tools

Hello peeps!  Just wanted to give you an update on what’s going on behind the scenes regarding being a little absent or infrequent on my posts this last month.  I have been using my available time to work on this website ( and really learn how to use) a tech tool that I have previously written about on my blog, it is called Flexclip.

If you have been reading any type of tech blog posts, you know that there has been a huge increase of AI tools available in the work place and completely transforming the design, digital and online marketing space.  If you have been following me on any of my associated social media, you will probably note a whole new slew of vintage home decor videos on my feeds.  Many of these videos have been made with the Flexclip tools and also I have utilized them both on my Youtube channel and on Facebook.  The following vid gives you a walk through summary into the Flexclip initial interface and what the AI tools panel looks like.  

 

 

 

 

The Back Story

I was approached by Flexclip to evaluate their “Powerpoint to AI Video” tool which I did, (Full disclosure:  I am not paid to promote this software but was provided access to their tools at no cost). 

The following video is a summary of a video I created that showcased their really great “Image to 3D AI” tool.  I hope you review at least a few seconds of it to see the power of this tool.  I made it from a three page Powerpoint presentation.  The tool provided the summary content  of the text based on minimal subject matter text, it also provided the subtitles based on the style I selected and also provided the female voiceover voice and background audio.   This tool or feature was incredibly awesome and mind blowing because it was rendered and completed within a few minutes.   

I am not ignoring the controversy surrounding AI tools;  I am of the opinion that it is here to stay and I need to develop my skills using these tools.  I will however let you know when these items are either AI generated or developed when posted on my blog.  In any case, I hope you enjoy what I was able to create.

 

 

Thanks to so many of you who are giving correct attribution to my printables on Instagram and on Youtube.  I appreciate that you are sharing my printables and letting others know where they can access them.  Now, I need you to share my videos if you like them.

Meanwhile, I will be going back to the drawing board “literally” and seeing what other fun and creative things I can create!  Thanks,

Hello all my blog followers and visitors! I hope you are having a great  weekend  and carving out time for some crafting and lots of rest and relaxation.  Although in the United States you are probably super busy  for the upcoming holiday season and specifically Thanksgiving!

Lots of good things are happening here at VintageGlam Studio, so I wanted to give you a little review of what’s happening in regard to my Youtube Channel  before we enter the super busy holiday season.  Although, we  are pretty much  there already come to think of it …after a loooong time without publishing, I just wanted to let you know that I am back at it. 

I just wanted to share that I am actively refreshing and updating my Youtube Channel and video tools.  At this time, I hope to create lots of videos that basically provide a summarized review of my planner decor layouts in my Happy Planner by Me and My Big Ideas, and Erin Condren Life Planner or .  I intend to also feature the junk journaling journals and tools that I have featured on my Instagram channel.  I have been trying to develop this aspect of my social media for years but didn’t have the time for video editing, uploading and all that jazz.

My plan for this year and into 2026 is to feature   planner decor videos that are under 5 minutes and they are edited so that you can get the real “meat” of the content. I also include most of the materials and supplies and sources in the Youtube description so that you can add it to your “crafting” list , if you are interested. And I would just love it, if you become a subscriber!  I’m sorry that in the past,  I had not posted enough video content.   

I had too many other time constraints to provide enough video content for my channel but with the discovery of  ever improving “new” phone and desktop  video editing tools that make this process so much easier and less time consuming, I intend to boost my video content for 2026, even if they are under 30 second shorts!

I plan to share some of my junk journal flip throughs, diy crafting and current video tools.   I would love it if you became a subscriber to my Youtube Channel.  The following are the online video editing tools I am currently using.

Top  Online Video Creation and Editing Tools

Online video editing tools have come a long way, offering a range of options for both beginners and more experienced creators. Here’s a quick rundown:

  1. Flexclip – Super user-friendly with a drag-and-drop interface. Great for simple edits, and it’s cloud-based, so you can work from anywhere. The free plan is limited, but it’s solid for basic needs. Upgrade to business plan to use it’s advanced features.  They have just added additional AI tools that are super amazing!  I have been testing them out and hope to do a longer post in the future. I especially like the “Image to AI Image” feature and the picture below will show the power of this tool.  I can’t get enough of it and have been testing this tool, for sure.  Please note (of course this is a copyrighted image, so I had to change the AI instructions to change the picture enough to not interfere with the copyright).   I believe these tools are available in the PRO version.
  2. Screenpal – This tool combines simplicity with a lot of features. You can trim, add text, and use effects without a steep learning curve.  This is desktop version and a phone app version.  I have used this for recording video short.  Free plan is decent, but you’ll need to pay for higher export quality.
  3. Adobe Express – It’s Adobe, so it’s got solid features and templates. Ideal for quick, polished videos. The free version gives you a lot of customization, but you may need to upgrade for more advanced options and exports.

Overall, these tools make video editing accessible without the need for heavy software or hardware, and fancy equipment. Perfect for quick edits or social media posts, but if you’re after deep functionality, you might need to go pro!  You’ll be seeing more of my video clips as we get prepared for  the new year in 2026!

I also hope to create more vids that cover some of the DIY’s that I have shared on my Instagram account. (You guys are keeping me busy!)   But that is all in the planning  and “get it done” stage for right now, in any case I just wanted to let you know what is going on and share a sample of the type of short  videos that I plan on publishing.

Thanks for your support and we’ll keep blogging away!
