What tools did you use to make those videos from the PG image?

I used a bunch of models in conjunction:

- Midjourney (background)

- Qwen Image (restyle PG)

- Gemini 2.5 Flash (editing in PG)

- Gemini 2.5 Flash (adding YC logo)

- Kling Pro (animation)

I didn't spend too much time correcting mistakes.

I used a desktop model aggregation and canvas tool that I wrote [1] to iterate and structure the work. I'll be open sourcing it soon.

The app looks interesting, but I think it needs some documentation. I think I generated something? Maybe? I saw a spinny thing for awhile, but then nothing.

I couldn't get the 3d thing to do much. I had assets in the scene but I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to use the move, rotate or scale tools. And the people just had their arms pointing outward. Are you supposed to pose them somehow? Maybe I'm supposed to ask the AI to pose them?

Inpainting I couldn't figure out either... It's for drawing things into an existing image (I think?) but it doesn't seem to do anything other than show a spinny thing for awhile...

I didn't test the video tool because I don't have a midjourney account.
