"The screen suddenly lights up late at night. A distorted human face is facing you.
Want to make such a weird AI video yourself? Many people are searching for this now. They either want to make a spoof video to amuse their friends, or they want to make something special to attract attention. But what is taught online is either too complex or too AI to learn at all.
In fact, it is not difficult to make this kind of video. The key is to use several AI tools. The first step is to choose the right material. Look for pictures or videos that are inherently weird. For example, clips from old movies, photos of abandoned hospitals, or some blurred figures. These materials come with a sense of atmosphere, and the effect is better when processed later.
Then there is the choice of AI tools. There are many free and easy-to-use AI video generators online. For example, Runway ML, Pika Labs, etc. They all support uploading your own material and then creating weird effects with one click. The focus is on using their "style migration" functionality. After importing the material, choose that gloomy and distorted style template. The film will be released in a few minutes.
Then there is sound processing. Weird videos cannot rely solely on the picture. Find some ambient sound effects, such as the wind, low buzzing sound. Use free software like Audacity to turn the sound to very low frequencies. Mixing in the background can make people feel creepy.
Many people are stuck in the second step. If the material is not handled well, the effect will not come out. A few tips. First dim the material to increase the contrast. Then use the "noise increase" function of the AI tool to make the picture more blurred. Add some distortion to the edges of the picture. After these steps are completed, you will basically have that taste.
Recently, there was news that there was a foreign Internet celebrity who specialized in making this kind of weird AI videos. He used a similar method. Upload ordinary material and use AI to generate scary effects with one click. As a result, the account became popular very quickly. This shows that audiences now have a demand for this kind of content.
Of course, we must pay attention to copyright issues. Try to use your own material, or find a non-copyrighted material library. Don't use clips from movies directly, it's easy to get into trouble. After the video is released, it is best to mark it as original. Now the platform strictly reviews AI-generated content.
Some people may ask, will the video of doing this be too fake? In fact, AI technology has advanced a lot now. As long as it is handled properly, the effect is very realistic. The key is to control the degree. Don't overuse the distortion effect too much, it will look like AI generation. If you leave a sense of authenticity properly, the effect will be better.
More and more people are making such videos now. But most of the effects are similar. If you want to stand out, you have to add your own creativity. For example, putting together several different materials, or adding some reverse plots. This way the audience will get you.
Tell me about an unpopular technique. After using AI to generate videos, use traditional video editing software to fine-tune them. For example, zoom in partially on the picture or add a quick flashback. These details will make the video more refined. Nowadays, when searching for "AI weird video tutorials" online, what comes up is either too complicated or unclear. There are very few ways to truly implement it.
So if you want to do it yourself, start simple. Select the right material and make good use of the basic functions of AI tools. Make a good version first, and then slowly improve it. Nowadays, AI technology is being updated rapidly, and tool functions are constantly being upgraded. Try different combinations more and you may find your own style. "
