"Can this picture be turned into a video?
Want to use pictures to make videos? AI technology is very convenient now. As long as you upload pictures, AI can automatically generate dynamic effects. For example, adding floating clouds to landscape photos and smiling animations to character photos.
Many people in Singapore use this method to create TikTok. They made still photos into Short Video, and their fans grew rapidly. Recently, a local blogger used AI to make his family portrait into a travel diary, and the number of views exploded.
How to do it specifically? Find the right tools first. There are many AI video generators on the Internet now, and some support uploading pictures directly. For example, Runway and Pika Labs are all suitable for novices. The key is that they are simple to operate and do not need to understand complex technology.
After selecting the tools, image processing is also very important. You want to make sure the picture is of good quality and the light is even. If the light is too dark or too bright, the AI generation effect will be much worse. The background is as simple as possible so that it is easier for AI to identify the subject.
Then enter the text prompt. For example, if you have a beach photo, you can write "Surfers in the Sunset". AI will generate corresponding actions based on the prompts. Note that the prompts should be specific and not too general, otherwise the generation effect may not meet expectations.
Many platforms now also support adjusting the generation speed. For example, if you want slow motion, you can set the frame rate in the tool. Some tools even allow you to choose styles, such as movie sense and anime style.
However, pay attention to copyright issues. If the pictures were not taken by yourself, make sure you have the right to use them. Some AI tools in Singapore will automatically detect copyright, but it is best to confirm in advance.
After generating the video, don't rush to publish it. Check it several times to see if there are any jams or abnormalities. You can cut out the extra clips and add some background music. TikTok is now popular with fast-paced music, so choose the kind that can drive the atmosphere.
Many local businesses are also using this method. For example, restaurants take photos of dishes and make dynamic videos to attract customers. Recently, there was a cafe that used AI to animate coffee flowers, and the click rate was much higher than ordinary photos.
The key is to try more. Different tools have different effects, so try a few more to find the one that suits you best. You can also see how others do it and learn their cue words and editing skills.
Now that the technology is getting more and more mature, pictures may not be needed in the future. But at this stage, using existing photos to make videos is still the most practical method. Especially for novices, it saves time and effort.
A word of caution, don't rely entirely on AI. Sometimes manually adjusting a frame or two will make the effect better. For example, the character's expression is unnatural, so you can fix it yourself a little. In this way, the video will be more realistic and more acceptable to the audience. "
