"Can AI animation videos be made by yourself?
This is really happening now.
Recently, many people have found that using artificial intelligence to make animated videos is becoming easier and easier. For example, with Coze Workflow, you can turn ideas into pictures. You just need to write the script, and AI can automatically generate animations. Singapore's Videomaker.sg website specializes in doing this for TikTok accounts. They use AI and Coze to turn ordinary material into popular Short Video.
Why is it so popular now? Because AI animation tools are getting smarter. For example, Runway's Gen-2 can directly convert text into video. You write "Kitty on a rainy day", and it immediately generates a picture. There is also Pika Labs, which specializes in anime style. You upload a picture and it moves.
But many people still don't understand it. It's actually very simple. Find the right tools first. Now there are two main categories. One type is the all-round model, such as OpenAI's Sora, which can make various styles. The other type is specialized, such as D-ID, which only does real-life avatar animation.
Then there is the production process. The first step is writing a script. Don't write too complicated. AI doesn't understand metaphors yet. For example,"Running in the Sunset" directly writes "Running alone at dusk". The second step is to select a template. Many tools come with template libraries, just choose one you like. The third step is to adjust the details. After AI is generated, the hands may be weird. At this time, repair it manually, such as using the AI repair function of clipping.
There was news recently. Douyin said that the growth of Short Video users has slowed down this year. But AI animated videos are even more popular. Why? Because this kind of video is low in cost, it can also produce results quickly. For example, a customer of Videomaker.sg used to ask a team to do animations for tens of thousands of yuan. Now with AI, it can be done for a few thousand dollars.
But there are also pits. Things generated by AI sometimes make strange mistakes. For example, the character's expression is unnatural. At this time,"prompt word project" has to be used. For example, adding "smile, gentle eyes" will make AI more accurate. There are also copyright issues. The pictures generated by some AI tools may be too similar to other people's works. It's best to check before using it.
How do newbies get started? Start with simple tools. For example, Canva's new feature can generate animations with one click. Or use Lumen5 to specialize in text animation. Don't pursue complex effects first, but practice the basics.
Over time, you will find that AI animation is not replacing people, but helping people save labor. For example, in the past, when making comics, I needed to draw one by one. Now with AI, just write a paragraph of text. This efficiency improvement is the greatest value of AI. Many small teams in Singapore now rely on this to earn traffic on TikTok.
Tell me a technique. AI animated videos are popular because they are fresh. But the novelty will expire. So you have to keep changing styles. For example, use Cyberpunk style this week, switch to retro style next week. This way the audience will not get bored. The team at Videomaker.sg now studies new tools every day. They found that combined with Coze's workflow, styles could be automatically updated. For example, automatically switch templates every day to keep content fresh.
In short, AI animated videos are a trend. It's not too early to enter the game, but it's not too late either. The key is not to be afraid of trial and error. Try different tools and see what others do. Over time, you will naturally understand. "
