AI Image to Video Generator (100% Automated) - Part 1/3

Science & Technology

Introduction

Have you ever stumbled upon a captivating image and wished you could bring it to life as a video? You're not alone! In this three-part series, we’ll dive into how to automate the transformation of still images into dynamic videos using advanced AI tools. Today, we will focus on the creation process—transforming a solitary image into an engaging video.

Overview of the Automation

Automation Breakdown

This automation is divided into three parts:

  1. Creation: We'll convert the image into a video.
  2. Overlays: This phase involves adding music, voice-overs, and captions to enhance the video.
  3. Social Media Posting: Finally, we’ll post the finished product on YouTube as a short.

To set the stage for our creation process, we'll utilize Make.com, a powerful platform that connects various software applications, allowing them to communicate and automate tasks seamlessly.

Tools Required

The key tools we'll be using in this automation include:

  • Anthropic Claude: For generating creative image ideas.
  • Flux AI: To produce the image based on the prompts from Claude.
  • Runway: To convert images into videos.
  • Cloudinary: For video manipulation and making overlays.
  • Airtable: To store and organize our video creations.

Step-by-Step Creation Process

  1. Generating the Image Idea: We'll start with Anthropic Claude, using its capabilities to brainstorm ideas for our images. For instance, we might want an image of a firefighter surfing a tidal wave of coffee while juggling flaming donuts, set against skyscrapers made of marshmallows.

  2. Creating the Image: After we have our idea, we can proceed to Flux AI to execute the image creation. We send our idea to Flux AI in a specific format, ensuring it knows how to generate the image we want.

  3. Formulating Video Prompts: Once we have the image, we need to formulate prompts that describe the video scene. We’ll use OpenAI GPT to help us craft detailed prompts that provide clarity and context for the video generation.

  4. Converting the Image to Video: Using Runway, we turn our crafted video prompt into a video. Each video must last at least 10 seconds for social media standards, so we'll create multiple scenes if needed.

  5. Storing and Manipulating Videos with Cloudinary: After generating the video, we’ll upload it to Cloudinary, where we can perform manipulations like combining and overlaying video scenes.

  6. Logging Video Details in Airtable: We will create a record in Airtable to keep track of our videos, including their public IDs, status, and descriptions.

Final Thoughts on the Process

After successfully executing the steps outlined, we’ll have generated our first video. Following this, the next parts of the series will delve deeper into adding overlays and social media integration.
