So in this particular lecture, we will learn how we can create such videos. So without wasting any time, let's start our lecture. In order to create such a video, you need a two different image in which you will switch. If you will notice that I am switching from one frame to the another frame. Okay, so basically, you need a two different image. Inside PCAab we have one option called Pika frame. You can see this opson. This is called Pika frame. So if you will click on Pika frames, then you will see this window. And here you have a option to upload image. Here you can upload two different image. This would be first image, and this would be second image. Now you will ask me from where we will get image. So in order to generate a image, you can use Google Gemini or Chat GPT. Okay. So in some case, I prefer Gemini and in some case, I prefer Chat GPT. Here I will use Chat GPT to generate image. Okay. So suppose I have to generate image like this, in which I'm taking Selfie with Arthur Morgan from the idea to game character. And you can create a image with any celebrity character or protagonist. So if you have to create an image like this, then what do you need to do? Firstly, you have to upload your own image in Cha GPT, then you have to upload image of your favorite character. Okay, so I have uploaded image with Arthur Morgan. And after that, you have to write prompt. I am taking a selfie with Arthur, create a image. Okay. So after this prompt I got following image. Okay. Also, you should specify aspect ratio if you have to create video for any specific device. So I want to create rails or YouTube Shorts. That's why I will use nine to 16. Now what I will do, I will type here, make it nine to 16. Okay, because currently it is a little bit rectangle, but I need to create vertical image. Okay, so make it nine to 16. And finally, we have converted our image into the portrait mode. Okay. So I will generate all image in similar manner. Similarly, I have added Kratos image from the God of War and obviously, I will upload my own image, and this was my prompt. Similarly, create selfie with Kratos, and this is the final output which I have created. Okay. Then I uploaded this image, okay? And I created this one. It is looking nice. By the way, from here, you can upload image. You can select a multiple file. Okay. So let's generate another image. So now I will upload a GTS six character image, top image, past here. Now it's time to upload my own image. Okay, so let's scroll down, scroll down. Where is my image? Where is my image? Okay. This is my image, and prompt will be I am taking selfie with gaming character. Okay. Now let's see what will happen. And boom, this image is looking awesome. So let's download this image. Okay. Similarly, you can create image with any character which you want. Now let's take a image of ghost of Tsima character, and let's attach this file. And now I will upload my own Selfie. Okay. Create SLP image with gaming character. Hit the enter button. This is how you can generate a number of image, and after that, when you will open Pika, then here you have to assign frame by frame, and you have to arrange the sequence. Okay. Okay, guys, so image have been generated successfully and it is actually looking awesome. So let's download this image. See. Now it's time to make a video with Pika lab. So let's open Pika lab and you have to open Pika frame. You have to open Pika frame. And here we have to upload a first frame. So first frame would be this one. Okay. And second frame would be this one. Okay. And let's type up Romd He is making a Selfi with gaming character. After that, we walk towards other character. Okay, let's hit the Enter button. But before that, you can go on setting, and from here, you can select a resolution. And on the basis of resolution, your credit will expand expand sorry. And from here, you can select aspect ratio. I want to generate video for mobile or Instagram Reels. That's where I will select portrait. Okay. And here we have a negative prom. Negative prompt means if you will enter anything here, that will not include in final output. This is called negative prompt. If you will add anything here, suppose I add here fire. So output video will not contain fire, at least. Okay. If I will type here head, then output video will not contain head. So you can specify which thing should not include in your video. This is called negative prompt. Here we have a seed. So let's assign any seed number one, two, three. Okay. So seed is used for consistency. Okay. So if you will generate your video with same seed number, then what will happen? What will happen? You will get consistency in other video two. Okay. Let's hit the apply button and let's hit the Enter. So video have been generated successfully, and it is actually looking awesome. Okay? Now, let's create another video. Go on add frame, okay? And you have to ensure that you are arranging all the image in a sequence. Okay. So this would be my first frame, and this would be my last frame. Okay, guys.
