"Can you make a hit video with one picture?
Nowadays, many people are confused when looking for artificial intelligence tools to convert free pictures to videos online. You open the search and see a bunch of names, but you don't know which one is reliable. In fact, this type of tool has changed a lot in recent years.
In the past, you had to know editing software to make videos, but now it's different. As long as you know how to select pictures, AI can help you move. For example, many of the popular accounts on Douyin relied on this tool to start their homes. They stuffed a bunch of pictures into AI and generated video in a few minutes.
I recently tried several popular tools and found some details to be particularly important. For example, picture quality determines whether the video is good or not. If you use a fuzzy picture, no matter how powerful AI is, it will not be able to save you. Also, many tools have limits on the number of images. If you want to make long videos, you may have to change several tools to use them in turn.
I noticed a piece of news. In May this year, a team abroad released a new model that can automatically add transition effects to pictures. Many domestic tools have updated this function. This means that you no longer have to manually adjust the transition, the AI will handle it itself.
However, don't think that all tools can be done with one click. Some of them claim to be "free", but the video watermarks they make are particularly obvious. If you post it online, you can tell at a glance that it was done by AI. This is not good for the account.
Really good tools will give you room to adjust. For example, you can choose a video style and control the speed. When I tested, I found that the "smart recommendations" of some tools are actually stupid. The background music it adds to you does not match the content of the picture at all.
If you are a novice, I suggest starting with simple functions. Don't start by trying to create complex effects. Learn basic operations first, such as how to import pictures and how to set the duration. After mastering these, slowly try advanced functions.
There is an interesting trend recently. Many tools have begun to support "mixed picture cutting". You don't have to move the entire picture together, you can just move some parts. For example, in a landscape photo, you can let the clouds float while the rest of the picture remains still. This effect is now very popular.
I also found that tools are updated quickly. The version that was still used a month ago may be lagging behind now. Therefore, you should often check the official website to see if there are new functions. Some tools push notifications to remind you to upgrade.
Regarding copyright issues, this must be noted. If you use other people's pictures to make videos, it will be troublesome if it is infringed. Some tools now come with copyrighted picture libraries, so it is safer to use those pictures. Or, you can buy some authorization maps specifically, which costs money but saves you trouble.
Talk about efficiency. To really rely on this account to make money, one tool alone is not enough. You have to prepare three or four spare ones. For example, use this one to convert pictures to videos, and use that one to convert text to speech. Only in this way can the process run smoothly.
Nowadays, the technical threshold for making Short Video is indeed low. But low does not mean easy. You still need to know something to make videos that are different from others. Those accounts that rely solely on moving will not live long.
So don't just focus on the word "free". Try a few more tools to see which one suits you. I know a friend who makes an account. He uses three tools at the same time, each responsible for a different link. This is the most efficient.
AI tools are auxiliary, not everything. You also need to understand some video logic and how to combine pictures to make it interesting. No matter how powerful the tool is, it will be useless if you can't capture what you want to express. "
