Transcripts

1. AI Content Class Intro: Yes, you're still hesitating to show up on camera. You're stressed about editing, writing captions, posting every single day. But what if I told you you do not have to do that anymore because now you can create your AI Avatar. So with this AI Avatar, you can create whatever you want, any photo, any video, and it's no longer just generating a random image. You can create one based on the images you already have on your phone. So now with these tools, you do not have to edit. You do not have to show up on camera. You don't even need any gear. My name is Steven Sally, and together with future skills, we've helped over 300,000 students learn AI and even hosted corporate trainings with companies such as Samsung. So in this course, I'm going to be showing you how I use my AA Avatar and how you can create a personal brand trailer. Now, this is just one exercise, and we can use all the skills we learned during this process to create anything you want, from unlimited images to viral reels, and you can have these tools at your disposal to do whatever you want with them. 2. Class Project: Just created one of the most exciting videos of my life, telling my life story that I can use now as a trailer for my business. And it was completely AI generated, no cameras, very little editing. By the end of this training, you'll learn how to create this AI generated video using Suno, Higgsfield, Chachi BT, so you don't need camera equipment whatsoever. And this is perfect for coaches or creators that want to build a personal brand that feels authentic to them, artists, musicians that don't want to burn out editing. And anyone that wants to express themselves online, this unlocks that potential. 3. Class Roadmap: Throughout this course, we're going to be using mostly these three platforms, Cha hip T for prompting, Sno for creating our music, and Higgsfield for creating photos and videos. And you'll be going back and forth between them a lot to prompt for everything that we do. So you'll be jumping back to ChachiPT to prompt what kind of song that you want. And then when we're prompting images for Higgsfield, we'll use CachPT to come up with prompts and even videos for Higgs field of how to animate those images, we'll come back to ChachiBT. So we're going to get very familiar with how to create a song, how to create photos and videos with Higgsfield and how to use ChachiPT to prompt specifically for those platforms. 4. Higgsfield: Build Your AI Avatar: Alright. The first thing we're going to do is build our AI avatar to look just like us. Alright, so here we are in Higgsfield AI. This is where I was in a portal the last three days straight, just having so much fun. And we're going to create our soul character. So if you go to character here, you're going to make your own character. All you need is photos of yourself. I have a ton. But if you just take photos front of your face, side arms up and down, I'm going to show you if it lets me show you the pictures I use. So all you're going to do is take and upload pictures of yourself. I have a ton from taking pictures of myself over the years, but look at this one here and here. These are very simple ones of me standing and just the side profile, smiling, not smiling, hands up, hands to the side, hands out. Simple pictures like that can go a long way. Because then it can show your body type. It can show how you stand. It can show your posture. It gets a different fades in your hair. So just upload all of your pictures, and that's all you're going to do. It takes about 10 minutes. So now, once you have your avatar, you can hit Generate. And what that's going to do is bring you to this image creation place which you can also get to by clicking here. Okay, so now we have these images. So I literally wrote sipping Espresso on the Amalfi Coast, sleek white tank top and black sunglasses. And you'll click your Avatar here. So if this wasn't here, you're going to click your character. I have Energy Steve here, boom. And you can click your style type. This is where you can have a lot of fun. You can have iPhone where you're holding like you're taking a selfie general. I did realistic and you just click it, and then also you can do nine by 16. This is great for portrait mode, great for 16 by nine, if you want to do landscape for a long widescreen video. But all you're going to do is start generating some images. So if we look at mine, for example, it made me a girl here. But in my video, there's a lot of crazy ones, so don't judge me here. But this was me on stage, right? I used this in my video. This is me dancing on the Amalfi Coast. This was me dancing in Rio. But you have fun telling your story in these different images, and we'll teach you how to do that later when we get to the video section. But you're going to start generating some images of you. I Freaking Love this one. It's me in a crowd screaming, and you can see it made me a character. Now, what's great about this I'm going to give you a quick preview is you take this and you hit animate video, and you can animate it into a video. Now we're going to get into video a little later, but that's the simplest way to do it. You just showing you that we're going to use these images to make videos. So I can take this image, and if I go back download another image, for example, maybe this one or even in a different spot here, then when I go back to the video section, it goes from video to video, and we're going to splice the frames together. So that's how we're going to create that seamless video that doesn't even require editing. But 5. Suno: Make AI Music In Seconds: Okay, next up, we're going to make our own theme song, Introducing Sno. Alright, so Suno is a place you can create music just from a prompt. So, for example, if we came here, we can type our lyrics here. We, let's say, I am Energy Sieve. And we have the style here. I like hip hop and rap, so I do like eight or eights. That's the type of beats, but let's just say hip hop, anthem, right? But we have all the lyrics we want from our story, but we can shape them up. So what we're gonna do is go to Chachi PT, and I'll put like, say you had your life story, you have your whole life story here. I'm going to put my life story. But you could put as much text as you want. But what you're going to do is say, make this a song formatted for Sono as an anthem for my life. Now, when you're using Suno, it knows how to format the lyrics, so that way it builds and does different things. So if you see here intro, whisper Build, hook anthem drop, it knows my story a little bit because I'm in my chat. Who am I? Who am I? I don't even know if it's going specific, but you can make it tell your story that you gave it earlier. So this is telling your story of the life, and these things are telling it, Hook intro verse one. The won't be said, but the words under will be said. So you can always adjust the words as you like, boom, copy that, and you'll put it in Suno here. And you can create a song, just like that. It's that easy. And mine actually came out fantastic. Don't worry about what I'm having here. These are weird songs I'm working on. And as you do this, you can start to tweak how it sounds. So let's find mine really quick. So I had this one and it plays. Now, if you like the style of music, if you don't, you can hear how it sounds. You can come overhear, hit the three dots and create a use the style and lyrics. You can either update the lyrics or just keep the same lyrics you had from your anthem. This is mine, right? This is Rap. This is story. See, like it has most inspiring man in the world, Energy Steve. And I had this as my style, but you can change the style up and you come down here to weirdness to make it more weird or style influence. If you put that at 100, it'll keep it very similar to the song that you're reusing. So if you like the way it generated it randomly, great. If not, and you want a little different, try something else. Scale this down, so that way it's less like the song. You can scale the weirdness up. But you can keep generating a few songs. And depending on my profile is, I think, the $10 a month. Not a big deal. If you want to make one song, you have 500 chances because I think you make 500 songs for ten bucks a month. So there you go. Super easy. You make your song, and you're having fun with it. It's incredible to me that we can do that. 6. Higgsfield: Create AI Images of YOU: Now it's time to go deeper into how to make these images that tell our story. Alright, so over here in Higgsfield, what we have is create, we go to the image section, and we can start typing in prompts. Now, what's great is if you were just writing your lyrics in your same prompt, you can have it generate images. So, for example, generate prompts for Higgs field. To create different images of my story. And you can give it more specifics of your story, but my point is it helps gives you some detail prompts, and it makes it fun. So for me, it gave me ideas. So Origins young man on a basketball court at dusk, right? I can copy that, put it into that's the video, into the images right here and hit generate and do different styles, right? So you can try these different styles and just have fun with it. Big key is to try to generate images in order of your story because, for example, look at mine, for example, I was at corporate. That's an early part of my story. Don't mind these images. Don't worry about it, ok? It's strange. But I'm in corporate, like, feeling like I'm behind bars. So, this one I really liked, but the next one I wanted to do, like, my soul was draining, so I did this one next, right? But I liked these images it came up with, so it gave me ideas for the next one. But sometimes I got excited about, like, later in my journey when I'm on stage, right? But I didn't really know how it would connect yet. So it's really helpful to just go in order of your story and generate those images. And then when you see how to make the video in the next lesson, you can generate the video and then it'll give you ideas for the next one. So just make the first five to ten images so you know the first part of your story. And if your story is only a 32nd trailer, that'd be fantastic, too. I made a whole three minute music video, which you do not have to do. But just go in order of your story, so I'd say make the first five images of your story. Don't worry about these creepy ones. So for example, I was in corporate. I broke that desk job, and I traveled to California, so I made me traveling. I tried a bunch of things, right? So this plan gives you a good amount of credits, too. I'm on the biggest plan because I was going really hard with a three minute video, try to getting it done in just a day. So then I'm at corporate in the office. So anyway, it's fun to use hATTBT before you make any images to come up with different ideas of ways you can display that part of your life. So say you were in pain, L say you had a broken leg, right? Give me variations of scenes to depict when I had a broken leg and describe them emotionally, right? Something like that, just to give you ideas. And it'll give you scenes, and you can either just read them and whichever one excites you, then you could put it as the image. So use this first to give you some idea. So it's like athlete collapse on the basketball court, young man lying in the hospital bed, man on crutches, close a man crutches. So it gives you a lot more to work with before you create your image. Okay? So then you've made your images, right? And you're going to want to just map them out, like I said, the first five to ten. So make all of your images. And once you've made all of your images, then we're going to move on to the next lesson. So, make your storyboard of images, whether it's five to ten or up to 50 images, however many you want, just tell your story in these images and get them ready for the next lesson. 7. Higgsfield: Unleash AI Videos: This is so exciting for me, and it's so fun to see what gets generated. We're going to make those images into videos and have a lot of fun telling our story and seeing what we can create. Alright, so now what we're going to do is I'm going to show you how to make your images come to life. So one thing you can do, for example, let's just keep this example right here. I'm in the airport. I took the image of me being in an airport. I'm going to just show you here. So it'll be empty right here. Like, it'll look like this. Upload image or generate it. You can upload because you had to save it, but I'm going to hit Generate because it's in my field here, right? So you can it'll take you here. Now, you go find your image, right? So let's go back. Alright. So it'll look like this upload or generate. You pick your image and it'll look like this. I'll start with the start frame, then you pick your end frame. Now, the tricky part is when you pick an end frame, it doesn't take you back to your photos. So you do have to go to your photos, and that's why I said, get out your storyboard, say I saved that picture of me as a selfie, right? Let's see if I can find it for you real quick. Yeah, so I generated all these images of a selfie. I think I picked this one, right? And then you're going to hit Download and save it to your folder. So so maybe you have your photos here and you have this photo here and you named it Selfie, boom. So it's saved, right, you open that. And when you go to upload this photo, you can just come to your folder, put it here, selfie. I'm not going to upload it because it takes a few minutes, but it'll be here and it'll look like this. So this is your start frame. This is your end frame, and you could prompt it how you want it to transition from this frame to that frame. So if we watch this one because this one was already generated, I forget what I prompted it because this is different. But look, he jumps into the bush. I love it, right? It's fun. But then there was another one let's see which other ones I did because I did a variation of this. Airplane See, it's the same if you look here, it's the same start frame, same end frame. And there's also the way it moves. So Higgsfield has this. So I believe that one was. If we go back, actually, I'll show you what that was. So this one we were working with, it was FPV drone. So if you change this, this is the ones that I found most useful. General, under A, this Earth Zoom out was really fun because I just wanted that effect Energy Steve is inspiring the whole world. So these effects are pretty good because they did the right thing. But when you're trying to transition smoothly, I actually used Kling. King doesn't have any special effect. It's just general. But the transition from first frame to second frame was the smoothest by far. Like, it didn't have any weird glitches. I didn't like the character didn't really morph weird. This was like the smoothest transition. But when I wanted cool effects, I used, like, building explosion or Earth Zoom out. I could show you some of those, and then you can look at them here. But then under epic camera control, I really liked this FPV drone. After so many chances. These didn't really do that much. You can experiment as much as you want. But these are the ones that I found work really well. The FPV drone was really fun. And then so say we picked a drone, and then the prompt was like, I'm in the airport. So I'm in the airport and I wanted to transition to this end frame. This is what it shows after I've generated it, so this is not the exact frame that I used. I mean, a prompt that I used. You can take ChachiPT and say, Start frame is in airport. End frame is a selfie in California, right? The variations of prompts of how this can transition for Higgsfield. And what I like about this, it gave me ideas, and it gives a more specific prompt to Hisfield to help it transition. So, young man standing transition in his mouth to have airplane in the clouds, right? All these different things, dark, rainy, airport terminal. And you can make it more dream like, right? Like, dream like energy. Sometimes I would say, make it gold and vibrational because that's my style. So you can add more style to it. Anyway, you do that, and you can see the difference. So is this the same one? So this is the one I ended up using, but I thought that was so cool. I like when he morphs body to body, he stays in frame, but I actually really liked this one where it kind of just transitioned because it showed the plane. And I had another one here. So then, for example, like, the next scene was me here and then me on stage right here. So I did a prompt, and I tried different variations. So let's see how he did this. This is the one I ended up using jumping over the crowd was hilarious. But I think I did a few variations of those, as well. I made him go up to a different picture, but you can see, like, that's the Earth Zoom out one. So it's really what I learned from doing this, I was trying different frames with different pictures if you know what story you're going to tell, it's so much easier to go from one image to the next. The last couple tips is that under here, you can have more steps. It's more quality, and you can see it takes more tokens to generate. So you can keep it low. You can keep the duration three to 5 seconds. Three is also less generation. So it depends on how many scenes you want. I would probably just do the higher seconds and the low steps. So that way, it takes it's a longer video, and then you can show you the little tweaks you can do in the video editor. 8. Higgsfield: AI + Real Footage: Okay, so this is one of the coolest things we can do. It's blending our AI with real footage. So this is actually me performing. Now, watch this transition. It's one of the coolest things. Then he actually flies into the world. So not only can he go from regular to AI, but you can go from AI to real. Now, here's how we do it. So this is me. I'm going to show you exactly how I did it. First, we're going to use a different clip than the one you saw because this clip is a lot shorter so it's easier to use. All you're going to do is open it up, right? So this is the clip. This is really me my boy, Michael. We're at a festival, right? So I'm taking this frame. Wherever I want it to start in this video, I want it to start here because I just like my face. It's like a full frame. Control Command Shift four or just take a screenshot on your phone or wherever you want, and you're taking a screenshot. Boom. Now, this screenshot screenshot is going to save. I'll just put it right here actually, so it's easy. This is the video. Here's the video right here. There's the screenshot, boom. Now that's going to be our end frame. And it's already here. So you just upload it there. And I had put this as the start frame, the selfie one. I'm doing this one because I've already generated it so we don't have to waste time. And then you could say, the selfie man turns into a performer and you hit Generate. And what you get because we have this one AI image to our real image, we have this. Ah. It throws the leopard print on my thing. Okay, and it ends on that frame. So you kind of understand how it works, right? So now we download that video, this new generated video, and we put it here. So now, this is that video we just downloaded, this transition one. You see? Same thing, right? Throws it on. And this is our original video of me Real. So we put this frame, if we just look it right here, this is the beginning frame, and this is the end frame. Sorry, it's confusing. This is the end frame right here. See how it's similar? It's all AI generated. I'm trying to help you understand what's AI, what's not. It's kind of crazy. So this is the end frame, just like we're doing all of them, but it goes right into this one. So now if you play it, boom, right into real life. So crazy. And if I were to, like, pause it right here and do a screenshot, boom, I can go back to AI. So I take I let that load, go back here, and then I can make that the new start frame. There it is. And you get the point. We can put an AI image here and it'll start right there. And then what we would do is just cut the video right here, boom. So it'll end on that frame, we just screenshot, boom, and it goes right back to AI. Let's just do it. What do we want to upload? I'll take this one. Let's do that one of me. Let's say, man transcends into highest version of himself. Okay, let's see what it did. Here we go. This is always the fun part to see what it does. Whoa. Okay, incredible. So now, this is going to be really fun. We're going to download this really quickly. We'll just put in the downloads, man transcends, open that up, put that here. Now we can watch the whole thing. It's going to be very fun. So if we're watching this whole thing, you know, he transitions from the Selfie, turns into me. Bada boom, Ba Bing, it's real. I'm my boy there, and then next thing you know, I step out of the tent. Oh, look how cool that is. So then all you got to do is put your music below it and make it match. That is just beautiful. 9. Higgsfield: Unlimited Social Media Content: A quick bonus while you're doing this, which is really fun is you can just take pictures like I did at the beginning with a sipping espresso, make it nine by 16 for social media and just hit animate, right? So if I come over here and hit video, it animates it, and you can see, boom, I'm going to use this as a two second clip right there. I'm gonna pause it because I don't really like his smile because it doesn't look like me anymore. But like this quick clip, you can make 1 million reels out of all these images you've made that are formatted for social media, and you could write a quick caption on the top and then a long caption below. And it's just fun. So I had this other image of me wrapping too, and you could actually add speech to it. Ice thing, I think. That's me rapping. It's not bad. Trip. But his mouth doesn't move that great. But you can upload your own speech. Like, I did it here. I uploaded my own songs, and it works. And it's not great, but I'm a rapper, but you can just speak into your phone even and just upload a quick ten second clip of you speaking. And that's under here in the speak section. Use an image that you had, right? You can upload the image right here, and then you can change what kind of style. This is just selfie, but you can change it to in the car, so it'll put you anywhere, which is amazing. And then you have your audio that you upload and it'll move the mouth and you can prompt it what you want. I put guy rapping. You could put guy just talking, girl just talking. And yeah, it's super fun. You can put yourself in Italian mode. Really, really funny stuff. So that's just a bonus. Once you have all these images, you can just change them 29 by 16 and make a ton of reels. 10. Congratulations! This is just the beginning...: We did it. I hope you enjoyed that, and now you have this trailer that you can use anywhere. You can share it. You can post it, and people can hear you, see you, and most importantly, feel your story. I hope you had fun. I'd love to see your trailer if you want to share it with me, and I hope you are excited about the potential of how this can be an extension of the energy that we put out into the world. I'll see you for our next creation.
