A groundbreaking feature has recently been introduced that is set to revolutionize video creation for content creators. This new lip sync technology allows users to transform any image into a talking video with perfectly synchronized mouth movements in a matter of minutes. In this comprehensive guide, we will explore how to utilize this innovative tool to craft a complete AI story movie, complete with multiple scenes and narration. Get ready to dive into the step-by-step process that will take you from generating consistent characters to combining all elements into a stunning final video.
The journey begins with creating characters that maintain consistency throughout your story. To start, navigate to the character tab in the design tool. For the purpose of this tutorial, we will be creating a main character who embodies a young entrepreneur. The consistent character tool requires you to upload training images that showcase a specific character with recognizable traits. Ensure these images are high-quality, free of watermarks, and sized at least 512 pixels in both width and height. You are allowed to upload between 1 and 30 images for training, but it is advisable to use at least 3 and no more than 5 for optimal results.
Once you have your images ready, you can either select a previously created character or begin anew with the “start with description” option to train the AI. When crafting a character sheet, remember to provide a detailed description that includes the character’s age, hairstyle, clothing, footwear, and any distinctive features. The more intricate your description, the better the AI will perform. After inputting the description, name your character, select their style—there are various options available—and click generate. The training process typically takes around 20 to 30 minutes, with progress viewable in the interface.
Creating Scenes for Your Story
Once character training is complete, you will find your newly trained character in the selection panel. Let’s proceed to create your first scene. Select your trained character, and in the action box, type an action description, such as “working on his laptop in a home office setting with natural lighting.” Click generate, and watch as the design tool creates an image with your character in the exact pose you described, preserving all key features from your training images.
To build your story further, repeat this process for additional scenes. For instance, in your second scene, select the same character and type “standing by home office window looking thoughtful.” Click generate again to see the character in a new pose, yet still retaining the same facial features. Continue this for your third scene by typing “excited looking at phone in home office setting” and for your final scene, type “smiling at camera in home office setting.” Each generated image will maintain consistency in your character’s appearance despite the varying poses and settings.
Transforming Images into Video
With your static images ready, the next step is to bring them to life by turning them into videos. Design features an “image to video” option that can add subtle movements, enhancing the liveliness of your images. Start by selecting your first image of the entrepreneur at his desk. Click on the AI video option in the left sidebar and select “image to video.” This action will lead you to a new interface where you can choose the type of movement for the scene.
For the first scene, enter a prompt like “subtle movement slight head turn typing on laptop office environment” and click generate. After processing, design will create a 10-second video clip where the character naturally types on his laptop. Although it’s a minor change, it significantly enhances the scene’s realism.
For the second scene where the character stands by the window, use a prompt such as “thoughtful expression, slight body movement, looking out window, contemplative mood” and generate the video. Repeat this for the third scene with “excited reaction, looking at phone screen, slight smile forming, office setting” and for the final scene, use “direct eye contact, warm smile, slight head movement, professional demeanor.” Each video will exude consistency while adding life to your character’s actions.
Adding Lip Sync to Your Videos
Now that you have all your animated videos, it’s time to incorporate lip sync. Select your first video clip of the entrepreneur at his desk and click on the lip sync feature. This opens an interface where you can input your script. For this scene, you might type: “I used to struggle finding clients, sending cold emails that got no replies, and wasting money on ads that didn’t convert day after day.” Choose a natural male voice that best matches your character and click generate.
Design will process your video, seamlessly adding synchronized lip movements that align with the audio. The result is astonishingly realistic, making it appear as though your character is genuinely speaking the words. Repeat this process for each of your video scenes, using different segments of your script. Each lip-sync video takes about 1 to 2 minutes to generate with consistently high quality.
Final Editing and Assembly
With all your lip-synced videos ready, it’s time to compile everything into a cohesive story. Download all your assets from the design tool and import them into Cap Cut for final editing. In Cap Cut, arrange your scenes in the desired order, add smooth transitions, select background music that complements the tone of your story, and include engaging captions.
After approximately 15 minutes of editing in Cap Cut, you will have a polished final product. The completed video tells a captivating story from start to finish, featuring a consistent character and flawless lip sync. The entire process, excluding the character training wait time, can be completed in under an hour.
