Overview
This video demonstrates how to create advanced visual effects (VFX) entirely with AI tools—no After Effects or traditional designers required—by leveraging creative prompting and the Cedense 1.0 Pro video model. The walkthrough covers workflows for image-to-video, text-to-video, product VFX, and animated text, with tips on prompt engineering and maximizing output quality.
Introduction to AI-Generated VFX
- All video content, VFX, and narration are AI-generated, including the presenter's avatar and voice.
- Using this setup enables higher content output without burnout.
- Feedback on blending AI and real clips is requested from viewers.
Workflow: Image-to-Video Visual Effects
- Start with a strong, vibe-appropriate source image for best results.
- Use the Enhancer tool for VFX, choosing from image-to-video or text-to-video modes and templates.
- Upload a character image, write a matching prompt, set resolution/duration, and enable Pro mode for top results.
- For prompt engineering, adapt or analyze prompts using ChatGPT (nicknamed 'Chad') for structure and alignment with creative intent.
- Focus prompts on movement, transformation, and context that fit the image (e.g., glowing scribbles, floating hair).
Workflow: Product Visual Effects
- Product VFX requires maintaining consistent physics, shape, and appearance with the source product image.
- Use context editing for set-up, then describe VFX intent in the prompt (e.g., shoe in a pipe, Pokémon jumping out).
- Avoid wrapping/distortions and test interactions like hands holding products.
- All results are AI-generated from simple product shots.
Workflow: Text-to-Video Visual Effects
- Text-to-video provides limitless creative freedom but less control due to lack of a visual anchor.
- Pro mode yields high-fidelity, cinematic output at a premium cost yet outperforms competitors.
- Effective prompts specify scene type, mood, realism/film reference, presence of characters, and VFX/motion anchor.
- Example: Generating cinematic scenes with emotional or surreal elements, such as grief symbolized via gravity or water effects.
Workflow: Motion Graphics and Animated Text
- Animated text in VFX should be concise (≤3 words) and physically grounded within the environment (e.g., carved, glowing, floating).
- Decide if text is environmental (diegetic) or stylistic overlay (non-diegetic).
- Use prompts detailing the setting, medium, short message, and subsequent transformation (e.g., text being blown away).
Key Takeaways and Resources
- Always align the source image, prompt, and desired outcome for coherent results.
- Use detailed prompt structures for both images and videos.
- AI tools can fully create professional creative assets for ads, social posts, and more—no gatekeepers.
- Free guides and prompt templates are provided in the video description for viewers.
Decisions
- Mix AI-generated videos with real clips throughout the week, if audience feedback is positive.
- Create a detailed video on product marketing VFX soon.
Action Items
- TBD – Creator: Prepare and release a detailed video on product-focused VFX creation.
- TBD – Audience: Download and use free prompts and guides linked in the video description.
- TBD – Audience: Provide feedback on the AI/real clip content format.
