✨ New Tutorial ✨
🤖 AI-Generated Video Characters in a few minutes
👀 Let's see how we can create a video like this using some free tools, readily available now
🪄 It's not Voodoo magic, I promise
🧵 Let's dive in 👇
We just start by firing up @midjourney and get some images generated, here I'm using img+img+promtp, but you can just use the provided prompt in the ALT to get going.
Great, we now have a photo, let's then go to d-id.com create a new account and upload our image.
We can then start writing our script for the voiceover, or upload our own voiceover that we might have done in another AI tool, D-id has some great out-of-the-box samples anyhow, so for simplicity let's stick with them
Plenty of access to different languages and genders + styles. So you can make it for your locale and in the style you want.
Once you are satisfied, you can render your video, you get 20 free credits when signing up, and depending on the length, you might use a different amount of credits.
The output from d-id.com is great, for being generated from an image just a few minutes ago and then having this, pretty mind blown if you ask me
Alright, to add subtitles, there are just so many ways to do it, manually or using AI, since I'm writing about AI, let us use AI.
For this, I used media.io from @mediaioOfficial
You simply upload the video you got from the d-id.com export to media.io - and click on the "subtitles" menu item, then "auto-generate" subtitles.
You can then edit the style and position of your subtitles to your liking, super easy
When you are ready, then you export, here you need to pay if you want to remove the watermark, and frankly, I should have just paid, because it's very affordable.
So we started with a Midjourney Prompt
💬 "Blonde woman, photography, depth of field f2.8 3.5, 25mm lens, 8k, ultra-realistic --v 4 --q 2 --v 4 --s 750 --uplight"
And we ended up with this a few minutes later.
I can see how there will be tools built to streamline this even further, so that its a one-click thing, or D-id improves their platform to have it all.
For D-id we also have an API, so we could start generating these on the fly. You could even do it with yourself, as a promo, or in your small business, generate personalized messages to your customers to embed in their order summaries from your e-commerce for example.
We still have to consider all of this technology to be in its infancy, and it's so hard to predict where things will go. But one thing is sure, we are not going back to a time without AI tools
A few years down the line of this, most things we do will be so different from now
This should not take you long to try for yourself, excited to see what you whip up. If you are using realistic or made-up characters?

DS. I'm doing a pay-it-forward thing and giving away 3 midjourney accounts, see more here:
Can't wait to play with this on bedtimestory.ai later this week.
Imagine bringing the stories to life with animated characters like this
