Overview
The video provides a step-by-step tutorial for creating professional-looking AI films using free tools for scripting, image generation, voiceover, and video production, specifically focused on YouTube content creation.
Scripting and Story Development
- Use ChatGPT to generate a film script by inputting prompts describing your concept (e.g., a giant snake in action movie scenes).
- Ask ChatGPT to provide 10 detailed image prompts featuring the key element (giant snake) in each scene.
AI Image Generation
- Use Piklmen (PLMIN) for free AI image creation, selecting the 16:9 ratio optimal for YouTube.
- Copy each scene prompt from ChatGPT and paste it into Piklmen to generate high-quality, cinematic stills for the film.
- Piklmen is recommended for its realistic textures, dramatic lighting, and movie-like visuals.
Audio Creation (Voiceover)
- 11 Labs provides premium AI voice generation, but it is not free.
- Use OpenAI’s TTS tool as a free alternative for high-quality text-to-speech voiceovers.
- Paste the script into the tool, select a realistic voice (e.g., Tom), and generate speech for the narration.
AI Video Creation
- Use three recommended free websites to animate generated images into AI film clips:
- Sand.ai: Upload images, input prompts, select video duration, and generate up to 10 videos with 300 free credits.
- Digen.ai: Similar process, 300 free credits per day, allows for up to 10 daily video generations.
- Pixvery.ai: Fast video rendering with 60 free credits per Gmail account.
- For each platform, upload the image, write an animation prompt relevant to the scene, and generate short cinematic videos.
Video Editing and Final Assembly
- Download the generated videos and import them into CapCut for editing.
- Arrange clips, apply zoom, set a watermark, and add animation effects or cinematic filters for enhanced visual appeal.
- Use smooth transitions and motion effects to polish the final video.
Decisions
- Use Piklmen for AI image generation due to its cinematic quality.
- Prefer OpenAI’s TTS for voiceover to avoid costs.
