"The photos you take will move on their own?
Nowadays, many people are using AI to turn pictures into videos. This technology sounds amazing, but it is actually not difficult to understand. Simply put, just give the AI a few photos, and it can automatically generate dynamic pictures. For example, if you take a set of travel photos, AI can add action and background music to turn it into a small video.
Why is it suddenly so popular? Short Video platforms are mainly popular. Now on Douyin and TikTok, short content is popular. People don't have time to watch long videos, but they like to watch pictures that you can understand in a few seconds. AI just helps, and tens of seconds of video can be made in a few minutes.
It is not complicated to operate. The first step is to choose the material. For example, taking a group of photos of continuous movements, such as walking, eating, and watching the scenery. There must be logic between the photos before AI can connect them. The second step is to upload it with software. There are now tools on the market that specifically do this, such as Canva and Runway, which all support converting pictures to videos. The third step is to choose a style. Some software can choose movie style and comic style, and AI will automatically process it after selecting it.
However, pay attention to a few pits. First, the photo quality is better. If the light is too dark and the characters are blurred, AI may do something weird. Second, the movements should be consistent. For example, when taking a run, it is best to take the same leg in each photo. Third, don't expect it to be too complicated. AI is still unable to handle particularly detailed pictures, such as the sudden appearance of an irrelevant object.
There have been new developments in the industry recently. For example, Adobe has just introduced a new feature that turns still photos into animations. OpenAI is also studying, saying that it may directly use text to generate videos in the future. These news show that it will become more and more convenient to convert pictures into videos.
If you are in content creation, you can try this method. For example, if you take a product display but don't know how to edit it. Use AI to add a transition, add some special effects, and it will be done in a few minutes. Another example is if you make educational videos and use AI to make the illustrations of textbooks dynamic, and students may like to watch them more.
Of course, AI is not everything. Some ideas depend on people. For example, how to arrange the pictures and how to match the music, these AI still can't handle it. So the best way is to use AI as the foundation and then adjust it manually. For example, when AI generates a video, you add subtitles and tune the rhythm.
To sum up, picture to video is a good tool. But don't expect it to completely replace manual labor. Technology is still improving now. When it becomes more mature, it may really save a lot of trouble. If you have material at hand, try it, maybe you can get a hit. "
