The Best FREE AI Video Generator Just Got BETTER!

[@danielschweig3177]

🔥 A hot tip: 🔥 If you want to animate your own image, then animate it and take a screenshot of the last frame of the video. Scale up the screenshot and animate the image again. This gives you a clean flow and allows you to produce longer videos if you want to create a film.

[@IIIIIOIIIIII]

What about the prompt? Make a new one, use the original one, or leave it blank?

[@danielschweig3177]

@@IIIIIOIIIIII Since it will then be a new scene, you will of course have to enter a new prompt. However, I usually only change the part of the prompt that the character does. Of course you can leave all other settings such as “light”, “atmosphere”.

[@eddyh7747]

Cool tip 💯

[@bluefernlove]

The thing about AI is that it lacks consistency from point A to B. Its strenght is precisely its weakness. Too many variables.

[@SitarSangeet2024]

Thx a lot for the tip and Tim for the video! This might be the best way to keep at least some consistency for a longer video built with lot short clips!

[@MrPlasmo]

haha THANKS Tim for the shoutout - the crazy thing about that generation is that Minimax was able to (correctly) predict what was behind my daughter's painting (a black oven) - which was not even visible in the original input image! ::mindblown::

[@findmeinthecarpet]

It knows 😳

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

That is CRAZY. I also think it’s super cheeky of Minimax to have your daughter flip the painting as opposed to animating what is already there. Almost like MM was like, “that’s too much work, I know what I can do!” Great generation though, and such and excellent and creative idea! Your daughter’s painting is great as well!

[@MrPlasmo]

@@TheoreticallyMediaagree. As an aside I actuallly was hoping that mm would animate the painting she was holding, and even tried several times to make additional generations (with prompt this time trying to animate the painting)… but it wouldn’t do it (only tried about 6 times)

I think the next level for these generators will be to create their scenes in fully formed 3d assets to maintain 100% consistency and physics fidelity. The current 2d techniques would be used post "production" to polish the 3d modeled outcome to a photoreal finished product.

[@thinkingaboutit2991]

Yeah, I agree. In the meantime, I was wondering about creating 3D stuff in Daz Studio and applying AI gen video techniques to it to polish it off for a photoreal finished product, since that's what I need for my purposes. Possible?

[@bloxyman22]

I feel it is not just the best free one. When it comes to coherency and following prompts even with image 2 video it is a big step ahead. I for example used an image of my cat to create a 5 second clip and then I used the last frame and did it over and over again and yet the cat did not morph to something else like with runway or luma.

[@DiceDecides]

ok the suit guy walking was seriously impressive, I'm so excited to put this to the test. Finally we have image to video in a semi-decent model.

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

It's funny, one of the reasons I do the "guy in a blue business suit" test in most of these videos is because it's kind of a "bland" example. But, I think it's a great showcase of what these models can do as a baseline. Stuff like "Super Sci-fi Adventure with Zombies and Hot Women With Laser Katanas" is great and all-- but, if the model can't handle a guy walking down a street, it probably isn't going to do that Sci-Fi epic very well!

[@Redscape_]

I've had those same issues with Gen 3 img2vid where it completely loses the style. It seems to work better for landscapes. After playing around with minimax img2vid I think it's better than Runway's, but Kling 1.5 is still king. It keeps surprising me with how well it understands the prompt and maintains the same style.

[@pookie67]

I don't mean to pick on Gen-3 either but MiniMax blows it away in many ways. There's just a lot Gen-3 can't do, where Kling and even Luma still can. In fact I'm actually a little disappointed in Runways long in the works Gen3, especially using their own generator which is pretty terrible much of the time. Luma needs an upgrade though, I swear they were producing slightly better results when they first launched at least in terms of speed, they've taken a small step back with their last update. Pika's update is,..interesting but not up to par, not even close. MiniMax and Kling are by far the leaders, thank God for the Chinese though Kling is INSANELY expensive and I fear MiniMax will be as well once they go to pay. They will have the last laugh when they drain our wallets

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

So, to be honest, I try to avoid doing those "shootout" and "this killed this" kind of videos. I know those things tend to get big numbers on YT, but I also think they can skew perspective depending on what is being tested. I feel like all of them excel at certain things-- and if there's one thing I've learned from doing these videos, it's that any one of them are capable of flipping the table with one update. All that said, you did get me thinking about maybe doing a video showcasing what each one of them is great at. THAT might be an interesting video-- and kind of a positive spin on the whole thing!

Nice! I've been pretty happy with Runway ML, but Hailuo is ...maybe better? So far I've only used it to animate an AI-generated home studio that I plan to use with a green screen. I wanted to animate the images on the computer monitors, and other very minor movement of foliage WITHOUT camera movement. Minimax seems better than Runway at this. So far, characters aren't working as well for me as Runway. When my character's head turns, it warps, and doesn't exactly keep the same features. Also, the teeth look strange.

I know, it’s funny we’ve (the secret AI YT Illuminati of “The Matts” and a handful of others) have talked about that. The downside for me comes down to media management. I shoot/edit these things fast, and slugging around 4k files tends to gum stuff up. Plus, it would also require upscaling all the example video as well. So…yeah, that would slow me down a ton.

you mean from the GPT? Yeah, someimes chatGPT gets stupid and goes over the max character amount. In that case, I'll sometimes do a little editing. But, to be honest: I've run it "as is" and gotten some pretty decent results as well. It is a bit of a keyword shotgun spray, and with 2000 some odd characters, there is usually enough.

*NONCOMMERCIAL*, it appears for now. Any word on commercial/paid use in the near future? Thanks, Tim! Love you and everyone else.

Hey is there a prompt that you could send me via comments that i could use to help keep my characters in my AI content consistent?😮

[@phu320]

thanks, I didn't even notice that image to video possibility.

[@phu320]

yeah, this is going to help a lot with character consistency. So far I am screenshotting the subject of the prior video, then cropping, uploading and reprompting to continue the scene.

Viewers are shown examples of how the image-to-video feature works, noting that it can sometimes skew towards either a cartoonish or realistic style, depending on the input image. Thank you

[@marcelgordijn1400]

[@KBStories60]

[@music_creator_capable]

It's real but not real. Fantastic!

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

I think it does REALLY well with those stylized/animated looks!

[@music_creator_capable]

I think the same!

[@BotsMind]

Really helpful and easy, but can you show me how to drag the picture? I tried but I couldn't do it.
