1. Master How to Create Animal Storytelling AI Videos Step-by-Step: Welcome to AI Video creation Mastery Course. My name is George Steve, and I'll be instructor till the end of this course. I'm a software developer and have a very good interest in creating AI videos. And today, I'll be teaching you how to create your own animated AI videos from scratch. So you learn how to create the characters, how to animate the characters, and then how to create a VoiceOver, and then add that to your characters and make it come to life. Then we go ahead and learn how to edit our video and how to publish our video using Capcod. So it's a step by step guide that is going to help you to create your own animal story telling videos from scratch. Let me go ahead and show you a demo of the video we're going to create in this case. Once upon a time in a sunny meadow lived a little ant and a cheerful grasshopper. All summer long, Ant worked hard. He carried seeds, stored grains, and tucked away food in his snug little home. Winter will come soon, Ant said, puffing as he lifted a crumb twice his size. Grasshopper, however, had other plans. He strummed his fiddle, sang happy songs, and danced under the warm sunshine. Why worry about tomorrow? He laughed. The days are too bright to spend working. Ant smiled kindly but kept on storing food. One day, dark clouds rolled across the sky. The wind howled and heavy rain poured down. Ant was safe inside his warm home, shelves full of food. But poor grasshopper had no shelter, no food, and his fiddle was soaked. Shivering, he knocked on Ant's door. Ant opened it and saw his friend cold and hungry. Though he remembered grasshoppers teasing, Ant invited him in. He shared his food and gave him a blanket to rest. As Grasshopper sipped warm tea, Ant gently said, Playing is wonderful, my friend. But preparing for tomorrow keeps us safe. Work and play both have their time. Grasshopper nodded, his eyes wide. I understand now. Next summer, I'll sing and save. And so, in that little meadow, the Ant and grasshopper learn together. Hard work makes tomorrow brighter, and music makes today sweeter. That night, as the storm rumbled on, they drifted to sleep, warm and full dreaming of sunny days ahead. Alright. I am very excited you have seen the video which we are going to create, and it's time we go ahead and start creating this amazing video stow by stow. So if you are in Tristd and start creating your own amazing AI videos just like this one, let's go ahead and kickstart this Johnny right now. Thank you so much. I am still George Steve, and I'll see you in the next video lecture. 2. Step 1. Generate Video, Voice and Image Prompts: I'll call you back again. So in this video, we are going to be creating an amazing video for a project. So we're going to start building this project immediately. And what we need to do is to head over to ChatGPT. So I believe you are right on ChatGPT now, and we're going to begin this right now. So what I need to do is to first of all, write a prompt in order to create a study line. And let's go ahead and write this prompts that says, write is children's bedtime story of the Ant and the Grasshopper in about two around 50 ways. Keep the tune simple, warm, and engaging for young readers. The story should follow classic version where the ant is hardworking, storing food for the fuho while the Grasshopper spend his time playing and dancing instead of preparing. When a storm arrives, the Grasshopper finds himself hungry and without Shota. The Ant helps him, but also laying an important lesson to share gently at the end. Alright, now, let's go ahead and hit on this and we'll have our story get done for us. And from here, we move on. So we have that was potted time in a sunny male dough. Alright. Alright, so this is actually very interesting, and this story is gonna make more sense. So we have not created this. The next thing we need now is to go ahead and generate images for a story line. Alright, now, so to create our own images for this story, all we need now is a prompt that help us to create this. And we're going to describe the Grasshopper and the end. And for that, I have this prompt that actually made for you. So it says, create ten step by step. Three D pixatyimage prompts that illustrate each scene of the Ant and the Grasshopper story. Each prompt should match the narration sequence and include detailed description of both main characters. So use the character design consistently through out all Ss. So I have this, I have described this for the end. I want to actually specify this. I've described this for the ends, and I also describe this for the Grasshopper. So that is why you need this prompt. So it's actually the go ahead and copy that. And now go ahead and click on this and I'm going to get date. So we now have this, and this is for the scene one, for scene two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, and ten. So we now have the ten scenes. And these are what I are going to use to walk, right? So I believe that is actually okay. And I want this to actually be like different scenes, okay? And if I want that, I can go ahead and say, this is another prompt I made. So if I want that to be into scenes again, I can die in and say, create a the pixa dye and I'll go ahead and check it out. I want this to actually be into detailed scenes. So I want that to be scene one and I have this, then scene two and talking hat. I have this. So these two prompts, I'm going to leave the two for you. So anyone that works out for you, you go ahead and copy that and follow up when I want the second prompts that actually give me scene by scene. S one, this, then send two, this send three, this and four to five. And I have all of them showing that it is a pixel Si three D format. Okay? So that is actually what I need. So ensure you always use a three D format for this. So you can always get this at the end. So if we actually need the actual prompt I use, I also provide that for you. So you actually go ahead, I use the same fromt exactly like what I use or what I have. So put this down, and if I have a new question, go ahead, I use the question answer section, and I'm going to get back to you as soon as possible. Thank you so much, and I'm going to see you in the next video lecture. 3. Step 2. Generate Images for Your Video: I welcome you back again. So we have ne to create our study line. Then we have a video or we have our scenes actually created for our images. Now, I'm going to introduce you to something so cool, something you've never had before. Or if you have had it or you have used it, fine, no problem. Now, in the punt I gave you, I describe the end, which is this, and now I describe the Grasshopper. So if I want to actually create something so adorable here, let's go ahead and copy the first one for the ends and we'll copy this. Then go ahead and say the Ant, and then I'm going to give the description, move over to image effects, and we're not going to use image effects. But let's go ahead and try Wisk. Wisk is going to help us to create both images and videos, and to surprise you how this can actually be done. Let's go ahead and check it out. So Enter to and right inside here, I want to create an image Go ahead, I hit on at image. So you're right inside weeks. You can actually create images. I can also create videos. Well, click on this, you can actually create videos. Create and mix of videos, right? And that is something so cool. Now, let's go over and move over to At Image. Click on At Image. So what Wik actually does is that. You can create your images, and then you use those images you create to create different scenes. Very important. You can use that to create different scenes. So if you want a particular background, you can use this. You can add so many different backgrounds, and then you can use that to create your own video. And that is so much important. Let me go ahead and show you how this actually works. Go right inside here and click on Act text. Let's go ahead and describe our end and generate image of an ant. And that is being generated, right? So it gives you this reference to assets using subjects, scenes or style. So you can always use that. So this is kind of ant with actually generated. And this is a Bxer style end. And let's go ahead and copy the one for Grasshopper. Go ahead and copy that. I go right this ide here. You can also add another one. So this are for your images and go ahead and generate that for Grasshopper. Now, I'm going to select a background, maybe where I want them to be. If you want to select a background, there's no problem. So I have this and that's going to be working so hard and this grasshopper that's going to be playing guitar and dancing up and down. Okay? So if we are going to actually start creating this, then we can go ahead and give a background, maybe in a scenario where I want this to actually happen. Okay. Well, it's because I want this to actually not going to happen in a particular place. I just want that to be maybe in a regular or an environment. Let's go ahead and that creates a background and go ahead and say So let me say I have to go back to this point, and I'm going to use this background, create a vibrant three D scene of white, sunny middle hued with a tall glass and white flower. Then I'm going good to add any character. Go ahead and place that. Then I'll go ahead and copy this. I'm going to say the Ant. With this, no, I don't want to include the nt. I just want a scene. Then I can go ahead and the grass oper green. No, I don't want the grass oper, and I'm going to copy this as a background and wear and see bright sunny garden peasants, bright blue sky, and so on. And then if for the character, I'm going to say, no character. But there's no I don't know character because I don't just want this. Let's go ahead and generate this. So this is just a scene for the budground. So I don't want ahead and copy what I have right this idea. So just go ahead and copy that and let's have something as a background that's going to present where this animal going to be walking or playing. So now I have this. You can also open it up, and this is what I have. And I think that is okay. Now, if I want to use the background, I will select it. If I don't want to use the background, I will not select it. Okay? So now, let me go ahead and say for the scene, if I want to create the very first scene, all I need to do is to go ahead and copy this. Then move over here. Anywhere the ant is mentioned, I'm going to select Ant. If ant is not mentioned, I will not select it. Anywhere Grasshopper is mentioned, I will select it. If it's not, I will not select it. If I want to use this background, I'll select it. If I don't want to use it, I will not select it. For the purposes of this cas, I'm going to show us how everything works. It can also add a tie. But I'm not going to d in a tie. Let's go ahead and create an image. So go inside image. And past this, we are creating the very first scene. And now I'm going to select this background to show us that you can select you can work with this and go ahead and generate this image. So it's going to always generate two images for you at a time. And then you go ahead and select one you need, and then you can go ahead and proceed. So it's been selected, I can see I have this and I'm using this background I selected because I selected that. I I don't want to select this, I go ahead and diselect that's going to generate. This one ahead unselect the scene, and I'm going to generate this is going to create its own background for us. And that is what I want. I want us to have a different background created for us. And in this way, you can see that we are now using this background again. But because it has imitated this background, it looks similar to what we have. And you see that this is exactly this, you can see that. Now, let me go ahead and delete this. I don't need this the beverage. Alright, so now we can go ahead and start creating all your videos. Let's go ahead and uh I put this and let's go over and past this and let's go ahead and create the second image. And I did not select the background. I just left it. I want this from the starting point to have different backgrounds, and then we move on. So let's go ahead and do that first, and I'm going to select all of the images, the Ant and the Grasshopper. So, you see, I did not selecting the background, and that's why I have something different. But I have the same ant showing that it's hang consistency. Okay, now let me go ahead and I select the third one, and let's get over here and let me go ahead on. Paste this and let's check it out. So in that way, I can to create as many images as I want, and I'll have something so cool. So this is whisk by Gogo and it's something so cool, right? So you see now, I'm having something different and not using Decembogran throughout. So let's go ahead and, uh copy this. And now let's go ahead and base that. So if you want to use the same background, always select this background, and you're going to use the same background throughout this cows. Okay? So let's go ahead and continue, and I'm going to do that f to create all the images. Right. Now, I've know to create ten of the scenes. Let's go ahead on stuff from the beginning. We have one. We have two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine and ten. So I've no to create the American C. You can also see that the videos look so good, right? So this kind of thing I want you to actually do. So go ahead and put it down, and in the next video lecture, we go ahead and start off by learning how to create the videos step by step. And then I hope that works fine. Alright, so in the next video lecture, we go ahead and learn how to create the videos step by step, put this down and see you then. Thank you. And in the next video lecture. 4. Step 3. Generate Videos using Free Video Creator: So I will on your back again, and it's time we go ahead and create videos for this project. So in this video, you can go ahead and copy this. So we have this already. You can go ahead and copy this and show what each of these actually do. So for that, I'll go right inside whisk, and you'll be surprised we actually using whisk again. So why are we using whisk? You can go ahead and hit on this video, and right inside here, you can actually use this or any video you created will actually be seeing. So back to your image. So for any video you want to create, you go ahead and animate that image using Google V or three. So I'll go ahead and click on this, so choose any one of this. So I want this that the ant is carrying the food and why the the Grasshopper is playing. I'll go ahead and click on Animate, and now tell Wisk what actually want to do and I'll go ahead and say, create a video of and moving forward. Why the grass opa is playing and danset. So now let's go ahead and create this and check it out. So you can see your video Cretan is cooking it can exit to create more magic. Now, when you exhaust this, you can also go ahead and go over to Google AI studio and move over to generate image. And right here, we have V right here, and you have ten generations to actually be done right here. You see that? So you can also use this. So we're going to be using the two, and this is a way you can actually create free videos. You're not paying for this, right? So let's go ahead and generate that remains 4 minutes and very soon it'll be done, and then go ahead and generate all that videos step by step, right? So now I have been able to create this video, and the video actually talks. I see that. It's actually talk, and you can actually use this to create hyperistic videos. So I'm actually showing you this so you can be able to know about this video creation, right? So in that way, you can create as many videos as possible. Now, anytime you hear about video, you can always the video you've actually created right inside here, right? So I can also go over and choose the next one, and I'm going to say for this, I'll go ahead and copy this. Close up of the try miss Quirin, check that out. Yeah. So we head over to Whisk again, and let me go ahead and animate this. So we can animate any one of them, go ahead and animate this. So choose the best videos that you like, then you go ahead and animate that. And from there, you can go ahead and generate your videos and download all of them. So anytime you exhaust this, you guys have just four generations remaining, you can head over to Google AI studio, and I've shown you how to create that in our previous projects. So head over to AI studio and move over to Generate Media is absolutely free. You're not paying for this. So we are using Google Video, right? So another thing you need to actually know is about selecting either 16 by nine ratio or nine by 16 ratio. So you're always going to put that into practice on show, but you're actually selecting the right ratio for your project. So let's go ahead and wait for this. I'll go ahead and do that immediately for every one of them that's remaining. And I'll highlight also show you how to use that right inside the EO if we qui ahead and exhaust this, right? So let's go ahead and wait for that, guys. So, currently, I've been able to create one, two, three, four, five and six. And now I can no longer continue because I've exhausted the free animation that is being given. So I can also guide and download all the videos. So all I need to do is to head over to Google AI studio, which I also showing you the previous lectures. So this is a URL. You can go ahead and move on there, and I'll go ahead and get over to Gert Media and go to VEO. So I can always continue with this, but this does actually give the audio, and I don't need the audio because we're going to generate our own audio for this project. So go back right inside here and I'm going to copy this. And now all I need to do is to go ahead and uh upload the images one by one by going over here, get back to images, we on this, and then I'll go ahead and click on this, es go ahead and download this image. And once I download the image, then I go ahead and upload it. So go back right inside here, and I'll go ahead and upload my image. It says enable, go good Drive, so I'll go ahead and enable GoGod drive or this. Alright, so now I have Google Drive enabled. I cannot go ahead and upload an image. So once you get your image right this idea, and I've uplouaded my, I can go ahead and passe this and then I'll go ahead and run. So you just select what a landscape my 16 by nine or nine by six ratio. So I'll go ahead and run this, and now I'm generating this, right? So in that way, I can generate my videos are free. Without pay, I guideline continue to try this. So it always give you the ara sometimes. It means that there are so much queue on this. People are using this at the moment, and without wasting time, you can go ahead and git our videos one by one. So, so if you go ahead and play this video, you can see that the card is now here and this is now animated, right? So this kind of thing you're always going to get, so you don't need to go ahead to start paying for videos or video creation, you can always use Google AI studio, and anytime you exhaust that, you can go ahead and sign up with another Google account. And anyone you do, you go ahead and download the video. And see the video is now downloaded. So in that way, I go ahead and upload every other video and then create them step by step and make sure everything is done. Right. Now we have been able to create all the videos, and this is the last of this video, right? And that is what I have here. So that is cool. Everything here has been generated, and we have that right inside whisk. So we got to download everything, go ahead and download all this video that we just created, and all the videos are being downloaded. Says, G ahead and allow this and the videos are being downloaded one by one. So the next video, we go ahead and generate a voiceover for this story and the one we use free uh, voice Jaria for this. So jam me the next direct show. I'll go ahead and guess stat it immediately. Thank you, and I'm going to see you in the next video. Lecture. 5. Step 4. Generate Free Voice Over for Your Video: I welcome you back again to another video lecture, and right here, let's go ahead and create audio. That is the voiceover. So head back to this. Let's go ahead and get the video narration or the audio for this. So it says once upon a time, let's go ahead and copy this, and then we'll go ahead and select that and copy it. Then head over to Go AI Studio. If you've never used Google AI Studio before, all you need to do is head over to Google and go ahead and type Google AI Studio or go ahead and type. None, no. Banana. So from Nano banana, you see AI studio, go ahead and click on this, and this is where or how you get over to this page, right? So from here, you head over to generate Media, and here is Nano banana. I have always shown us how to use this to create images and everything we need. And now we want to create the story line for the voice over, quire hit on Germans piece generation, rise inside the air. Go ahead and select single speaker audio. Remember this is single speaker audio is what I selected right here. And now we can go ahead and paste your speech. So this is a text that want to convert to speech. Now, head over to voice, and you can go ahead and select your sets. I always let that as it is. Go over to voice, and the voice I always use for my videos is Oge Ba. So Ojiba sounds so good. It can also use another one that you want, and the will always look good, so you always go ahead and test that by clicking on each of these bodies, and you can go ahead and play that. Now, if you have done this, oh, you need to go ahead and hit or run, and then your voice will start to generate. So you can see that this has started to run, and very soon it will generate. And once it generates audio, the audio will be shown here. We can play that and then we go ahead and also then load it as well. So let's go ahead and wait for that to generate audio. So we have successful created that, and you can see we have this audio, and that is two minis. And let's go ahead and listen to that a little bit. Once upon a time, in a sunny meadow lived a little ant and a cheerful grasshopper. All summer long, Ant worked hard. He carried seeds, stored grains, and tucked away food in his snug little home. Winter will come soon, Ant said, puffing as he lifted a crumb twice his size. Grasshopper, however, had other plans. He strummed his fiddle, sang happy songs, and danced under the warm sunshine. Alright, so that is what we have, and that is what the end. We need to go ahead and hit on Download and get this audio downloaded now. So now we have our audio downloaded, and the next direct show, we go ahead and put everything together and have a sweet or sun video ready. So let's go ahead and move over to the next direct show and get started immediately. Thank you and see in the next video lecture. 6. Step 5. Edit and Publish Your Video with Captions: So now we have actually downloaded our videos and all our images. We can now go ahead and put them together to create awesome videos. So use Capcod, you can head over to Copcot right now and upload all your images and your videos, and then you can get ahead and enter them wherever you want them to be, right? So I just more main have this video right here. And let's go ahead and listen to this video. Once upon a time, in a sunny meadow lived a little ant and a cheerful grasshopper. All summer long, Ant worked hard. He carried seeds, stored grains, and tucked away food in his snug little home. Winter will come soon, Ant said, puffing as he lifted a crumb twice his size. Grasshopper, however, had other plans. He strummed his fiddle, sang happy songs, and danced under the warm sunshine. Why worry about tomorrow? He laughed. The days are too bright to spend working. Ant smiled kindly, but kept on storing food. One day, dark clouds rolled across the sky. The wind howled and heavy rain poured down. Ant was safe inside his warm home shelves full of food. But poor grasshopper had no shelter, no food, and his fiddle was soaked. Shivering, he knocked on Ant's door. Ant opened it and saw his friend cold and hungry. Though he remembered grasshopper's teasing, Ant invited him in. He shared his food and gave him a blanket to rest. As Grasshopper sipped warm tea, Ant gently said, Playing is wonderful, my friend. But preparing for tomorrow keeps us safe. Work and play both have their time. Grasshopper nodded, his eyes wide. I understand now. Next summer, I'll sing and save. And so, in that little meadow, the ant and grasshopper learn together. Hard work makes tomorrow brighter, and music makes today sweeter. That night, as the storm rumbled on, they drifted to sleep, warm and full dreaming of sunny days ahead. Alright, so you can see that o is actually in, and that makes sense, right? Now, let's go ahead and add captions to this. Go ahead and hit on caption. And now we want to generate caption for this video. All we need to do is to go ahead and to generate that. Go ahead and hit on generate and start to generate captions for you. So you can see jorty captions and it's more use the voice over with uploaded to generate it on captions. And then we go ahead and add sties to caption and make that to be dlable. If you are using free uh cap code, ensure you do not use the Pfsurs of cap code so that you can be able to download your video. Well, if you have pro cap code, you go ahead and use any one of them. Now you can go ahead and select. Let me go ahead and say. Now, you can see. You can see how this looks, but therefore is what you get. All you need to do is to go ahead and select the type of u or how you want your caption to look like. Or you go ahead and select template. And from template, you can go ahead and choose any one of these sties, if that is what you need. So go ahead and choose any onee of these ties, and it's going on Mize, right? So once you add that, you can go ahead and download your video and your video is going to look good. So we have actually come to the end of this. But before then, I always want you to export your video using four k or eight k or above or anyone of these. But the show from 1080 pixel to two K, four K or eight K. Alright. So that is one thing I want to stress. So sure you have something to cool. Then at the end, you have your video, and you can be able to upload that to to YouTube, or you go ahead and upload that to TikTok, right? So that is it for now. Thank you so much, and I'm going to see you in the next video lecture.
