"Photos become videos when they move? This thing really exists.
Nowadays, there are a lot of people looking for "artificial intelligence photo-to-video production tools" online. Why? Because of the popularity of Short Video, people want to produce content at low cost. Recently, I helped my friend tune my TikTok account and found that this kind of tool is very popular.
Let's talk about the principle first. These tools use AI to turn still pictures into dynamic pictures. For example, if you show a landscape photo, it can automatically add some cloud and wind effects. Simply put, it is to bring the dead figure back to life.
How to choose specifically? First look at the type of technology. Now there are two mainstream types. One is based on diffusion models, such as Stable Video Diffusion. The other is based on Transformer architecture, such as VideoCrafter. The former is good at details, the latter is faster.
In November last year, Google released an upgraded version of Imagen Video. The news says it can turn a single picture into a 30-second video and control the direction of movement. Domestically, Baidu's AI open platform also has similar APIs, but requires code docking.
What do users care about most? The first is the effect. Some tools will only make the picture shake, and some can add real light and shadow. The second is operation. Many tools require you to learn basic editing first. The third is copyright. Before using it, you must confirm whether the generated video can be commercially available.
I suggest that novices try a codeless platform first. For example, Canva's MagicAnimate, or the AI plug-in for clipping. These don't require programming, just upload the pictures directly. The effect is average, but sufficient.
If you want to advance, you can learn Midjourney's Video function. It requires a Discord account, but the generation quality is high. The disadvantage is that there is a monthly free limit.
There are new trends in the industry. In March this year, the Coze platform launched a video generation plug-in. Image sequences can be handed over to AI for processing, and subtitles can also be automatically added. Suitable for mass production of account content.
A little. Such tools can only assist. For example, if you use AI to convert product maps into Short Video, you have to add narration and music yourself. Videos generated purely by tools are still difficult to become popular.
Tell me a tip. If you use AI tools to generate videos, it is recommended to take more photos of the same theme. For example, take a cup and take one from the front, side and top view. In this way, when AI processing, the material will be richer. "
