"The video suddenly moved on its own.
Nowadays, when making Short Video, more and more people are using AI to bring pictures back to life. Especially for TikTok, there are always elements that move on their own in those popular videos. For example, text jumps out, or pictures slowly deform. There is actually no black technology behind this, but AI is playing tricks.
How to do it specifically? Simply put, it is to give the AI a picture or a paragraph of text and let it generate dynamic effects. For example, if you take a static product picture, AI can automatically add some small animations to make the product look more attractive. Recently, there is a new way to play it directly using AI to extract real-life videos and place them in the virtual background.
Why is it so popular now? Because it's too slow to do it manually. I used to hire a designer, but now AI can do it in a few minutes. And the effect is passable. For example, the tool called Runway can move pictures with one click. Many people are using it recently because it is so simple.
Of course, not all AI are the same. Some can only perform simple effects, while some can perform complex actions. For example, the Coze platform can help you build an automated process. You throw the requirements to it, and it can generate the corresponding video script and match the next action.
How to operate it specifically? Find the right tools first. For example, if you want to do a product demonstration, try Pika Labs. It specializes in making AI videos and can generate small clips by inputting a few keywords. For example,"the phone is spinning", it will give you an animation of the phone spinning in circles.
But be aware that the effects of AI generation can sometimes be a bit strange. For example, the character's expression may be unnatural, or his movements may be sluggish. So you have to try it a few more times and choose the one that looks most pleasing to the eye. For example, using Stable Diffusion to make a picture and then diverting it to Runway to convert a video, the effect will be much better.
There is also a trick, segmented processing. For example, AI is used to generate animations at the beginning, real people appear in the middle, and AI is used to do special effects at the end. This not only saves money, but also ensures quality. I have recently seen many bloggers do this, and the results are good.
However, no matter how powerful AI is, it also has limitations. For example, I can't fully understand your creativity. Sometimes it just can't get the effect you want. At this time, you have to make adjustments yourself. For example, use clipping to repair it manually, or try using an AI tool.
There is also a new trend recently, the mix and match of AI and real people. For example, when a real person speaks, the background is full of AI-generated pictures. This has both a human touch and a sense of technology. For example, the "AI painter" video is a real-person appearance followed by an AI-generated animation.
In short, the key to AI making video work is to find the right tool and try it a few more times. There are many tools on the market now, such as Pika, Runway, Stable Diffusion, and some domestic platforms. The key is to try it first and see which one works well.
In addition, pay more attention to new ways to play. For example, it has recently become popular to use AI to split lenses. First, make a dynamic sketch and then take real shots. This not only saves time, but also ensures the implementation of ideas. For example, the "AI Lens Splitter" tool can help you convert text into dynamic lens splitters.
Let me remind you that no matter how good AI is, it cannot replace creativity. It can help you achieve results, but whether it can be popular depends on the content itself. For example, whether the products you photographed are attractive enough, or whether the story is clear. AI is just a tool, used in the right place. "
