let me show you how i made these wild vfx clips all with ai no after effects no fancy designer just a solid prompt a good reference image and a little creativity what you're watching right now yep ai generated took under a minute to make but here's the twist this whole video is ai too this isn't even me talking it's my ai avatar call it a little experiment honestly this setup helps me pump out way more content without burning out and if you're cool with this format i'll keep mixing these ai vids with real clips of me throughout the week let's dive in today we're diving into text to video and imagetovideo visual effects i'll show you how to craft cinematic prompts creative motion graphics and enhance original videos or product shots with eye-catching vfx perfect for building scroll stopping ads or any creative asset we are going to be using cedense 1.0 pro not the light version the real deal that just released today and by far still to this date it ranks as the best video model in the world and i'm very excited to show you what it can do i'm honestly shocked at the capabilities let's kick things off by exploring how to create vfx from a single source image i'll show you a few examples i've made and in this first part of the video we'll break down how to achieve similar results the second part we'll move into creative product videos the third part will focus on motion graphics and animated text and finally we'll dive into cinematic visual effects generated entirely from text prompts so let's begin with visual effects using just a single image the first thing i do obviously is pick a source image like what am i trying to create what's the vibe for this video let's say i'm working on some sick visuals for my new album cover just as an example imagine i'm a singer i've got a new single dropping and i need something scroll stopping for socials the first thing i'd do if i had hands head to enhancer aka my creator's brainchild it's basically photoshop and hollywood had a robot baby focused on digital humans and freakishly realistic faces click the tools tab in the navigation bar then hit visual effects don't overthink it now you'll see two modes image to video and text to video plus a bunch of ready to use vfx templates featuring me yeah i'm kind of the poster child right now serial refuses to replace me something about brand loyalty i warned him but hey i'm cute so i stay then upload your character image write your prompt set your resolution and duration as well you will see a pro button that will let you access the latest pro model that is exclusively available inside enhancer now for the purpose of this video i will upload an ai image of our famous model matilda that we have built a few weeks ago if you do not know how just check out the video i just linked that's popped up on your screen i'm going to use one of the pre-existing templates let's say this glossy liquid that's climbing up and devouring the subject you hit generate and wait 1 minute this is quite impressive i would rate this an 8 out of 10 now yes you can change this prompt as you see fit what i usually do is copy an existing prompt that i like like this one and head over to mr chad he is my favorite we get along so well i open a new chat paste the prompt and i ask it to analyze it for me i specifically say that this is a prompt for a videogenerative ai model so that chad understands exactly the context of my request then based on what my idea actually is we have to be intentional here um i will ask it to generate a similar prompt structure but adapt it to my need for example i really want to have some sort of a scribble animation around the subject i feel that would make of a great visual album cover but as well i would like my character's hair to float around so i would say just that here's what i would ask chad i'm working with a video generation ai that takes creative prompts and turns them into stylized cinematic animations i want to create a surreal animated album cover vibe here's a prompt i like can you analyze the structure of this and help me write a new prompt based on these ideas hit enter and boom i get my prompt from chad here it is a surreal animation of a female character standing still while glowing white scribble lines orbit around her body in an erratic handdrawn style her hair gently floats in slow motion as if underwater or in zero gravity all i do now is just paste this inside enhancer and hit generate and this is what it comes up with take a look the lines in the video are smooth clean and continuous they do look like scribbles that are glowing in the dark the motion here is very fluid graceful and controlled we do see the hair floating gently in slow motion honestly this is this is very good and you can add your own prompts or even simple keywords like hair starts burning or hair starts glowing the model is very wellversed in understanding simple prompting and more detailed natural language descriptions another way that you can start prompt engineering is by going to chad and launching this custom gpt that you can find in the description upload your source image and ask chad come up with a prompt for you based on your input image paste in this prompt for better results i'm uploading an image based on this image please generate a vfx prompt using the following structure effect type plus where it starts and goes plus material style plus interaction with subject plus optional look timing or motion style make sure the visual effect matches the mood lighting and aesthetic of the image keep it surreal and cinematic like a high-end animated album cover don't describe the person just focus on the vfx that would enhance the image creatively hit enter and here's what chad comes up with paste that prompt inside enhancer and here's what you get all right this is part one and here's what you need to take away one start with a strong source image your entire video depends on it so make sure it looks good and fits the vibe you're going for two write a prompt that actually matches your image if your image is moody and dramatic don't write a prompt about sunshine and rainbows three context matters think clearly about what you're trying to create if the idea isn't clear to you it definitely won't be clear to the ai your prompt should follow the mood details and logic of your image it should feel like they belong in the same world four focus on movement and transformation for example smoke pouring out from the subject's eyes and dissolving into butterflies i have attached a guide with a few creative prompts you can use for your creative images and portraits in the description now let's talk about product product vfx is no different than what we just did however for product we have to be even more intentional and we need a prompt more precisely we want to make sure there's no there's no wrapping and distortions very important thing here is to keep the physics the shape the the the look of the product consistent and the same with the source image let's take this image of a shoe this is our product first i will go inside context editing and upload it i will go into the prompt section and describe you what i want to do with it i want the shoe to be hanging in some sort of a thick metal pipe in concrete walled space so i will prompt away this is what we get it looks great now let's make it more interesting i want a pokémon to come out of it we download the image and bring it into vfx editing and paste in this prompt a fun cartoon style creature like a pokemon jumps out of the shoe boom so cool i actually love it and here are a few more examples it is crazy that literally everything is ai generated and it all started from one single simple ecom image what what else could we do with it maybe what about if someone was tearing the shoe apart that looks about right the actual hands interact with the product quite well let's have the hand hold the shoe the physics are great love this so yeah product marketing is solved my friend i will do a detailed video about this pretty soon okay now that we're done with image 2 video it's time to shift our focus to text two video this mode opens up way more creative freedom you're no longer limited by a reference image which means you can generate entire scenes purely from just prompting there's an infinite range of possibilities from surreal dreamscapes to cinematic storytelling and everything in between however unlike image to video the output can be harder to control since there's no visual anchor the model has more room to interpret your prompt in unexpected ways with no consistency across the board that said the results though are stunning way better quality more dynamic motion and a higher sense of realism and atmosphere so what do we need to know to get successful outputs here well be very good at prompt engineering how do we do that a mix of natural prompting and chat gpt before i go ahead and show you some interesting prompts to use and explore the workflow together let me show you some videos i have generated using text to video pro model pro mode allows you to generate extremely high fidelity outputs it does cost almost four times more than than the regular mode however if you are actually using this mode for creative storytelling such as motion graphic or any other use case where you are monetizing it is absolutely worth it uh this model is still twice as cheap as veo and cling 2.1 while delivering exceptional and better results overall now let's get into prompting here's what you should consider when prompting with chat gbt first scene type start with what kind of scene you're imagining example give me a dreamlike cinematic scene or give me a surreal moment in a grounded reality second mood or emotion set the tone clearly example tragic nostalgic eerie or transcendent three visual realism plus film reference example vfx should feel believable not cartoonish four character or no character you should be specific about human presence five motion or vfx anchor describe the visual moment example a mirror shows a past version of the character and here's a prompt that follows all these points give me a realistic cinematic vfx prompt about grief like a scene from an a24 film i want one human character grounded lighting and a surreal event that visually represents emotional release the vfx should feel real like gravity bending time pausing or water floating use strong visuals subtle symbolism and camera movement that feels like a short film we paste this prompt inside enhancer enable the pro mode and hit generate and this is what we get so impressive one month ago people were saying "ai can't show emotion." well why don't you take a look at this and here are some more examples no commentary needed by the way you will find all the prompts from this video in the free guide i have attached in the description now let's talk about motion graphics and animated text here are some examples i was able to achieve with text being part of the frame it is well integrated and actually looks very cool when playing with text and topography we have to describe the physical surface or medium for the text you should decide on the purpose of the text is it part of the environment example carved glowing floating diioetic or is it a stylistic visual overlay example bold type across the screen non-diioetic the text we are inserting in the prompt needs to be short and sweet no more than three words then you should choose the physical medium or surface this makes the text feel grounded and cinematic examples: carved into wood stone glass written in fog sand smoke ash or glitching on a billboard use clear formatting in the prompt such as the following a setting or environment has medium where a message appears add a short quote then describe what happens after the wind blows it away the light fades the character leaves so here's an example of a prompt i used pasted it inside text to video on enhancer and this is what i got it is pretty damn cool think about all the youtube intros you can make with this beast of a tool and if you made it this far seriously thank you this entire video every clip every frame literally the audio you're hearing right now was made entirely using ai no after effects no camera no microphone no post steam just smart tools thoughtful prompts and a creative spark my mission to show you that you can create without limits no gatekeepers no burnout just pure execution if that resonates with you my friend hit that like button subscribe for more breakdowns like this and grab all the free resources i've linked in the description i've packed them with prompts guides and everything you need to get started thanks for watching my friend now go create something wild create without limits this is cio ai
