Every video starts with a clear idea. Think about your niche, your audience and what you want the video to do, such as generate leads and sales, educate or entertain. Use the AI Video Idea Generator or ChatGPT to help you develop your concept.
Tools
Turn your idea into a storyboard with ready-to-paste image and video prompts, with style, lighting, composition and motion descriptors all included. Use the AI Storyboard Builder or ChatGPT to help you.
Tools
Generate your scene images. Focus on style and character consistency across all frames, because these visuals are the foundation your video is built on. You don't have to create videos from images. You can generate directly from a prompt if you prefer.
Tools
Generate your video clips from the images you created, using the storyboard prompts to guide the camera movement, tone and transition style for each scene. Choose your tool and model depending on the style of video you are making.
