00:00In this video, I'll walk you through five cool AI tools that won't cost you a single scent

00:05And with them, you can do literally everything for video and animation production without spending a dime

00:13By the end of this video, you'll know how to generate images and videos for free, create awesome animations and anime, build both realistic and animated avatars, and even edit your images and videos, all powered by AI

00:24I'm Daniel, a 2D and 3D animator

00:29And I'm Ariana, a video editor and content creator

00:31On this channel, we share our tips, tricks, and experiences about making animations and videos, especially with AI

00:39If you're into that, don't forget to like and subscribe

00:42It really means a lot to us

00:44Let's talk about the Van AI

00:44You might have already heard of it

00:47The Chinese team behind Van has basically entered into direct competition with VO3 because the quality it produces is seriously impressive

00:56If you want to use all of VAN's features locally and for free, you can install it from the GitHub link I left in the description

01:01There you'll find detailed information about how it works and which AI models it uses

01:09You'll get access to text to video and image to video tools

01:12And recently, they even launched a brand new speech to video feature, which is really exciting

01:20Let's take a look at some samples of this new feature so you can see how it works

01:24Basically, all you need is uh an image and an audio file, and Van can turn it into a video for you

01:32[Music] For more accuracy, you can even add a prompt to customize the output exactly how you want

01:44100 miles

01:48100 miles rolling tracks and endless trials

01:54This makes it perfect for creating music videos or other creative content that can easily get you tons of views

02:01[Music] Hallelu

02:13You're going to die now

02:13Just just step back inside

02:15Come on

02:17You chose the army that led to Kingsman

02:20You became a Kingsman agent to install Van on your computer

02:22Just follow the usual GitHub installation process

02:28Everything works the same as always

02:30You just need to make sure your hardware, especially your GPU, meets the requirements so you get the best performance

02:36But if you don't want to run it locally, there's also van.video, a website where you can access all of Van's features directly

02:43It has text to video, image to video, speech to video, first and last frame editing, video editing, and even text to image

02:52I dropped the link in the description

02:58Just sign up there and you can even explore videos that have already been created to get inspiration

03:04Some of them are insanely good and the quality is topnotch

03:11[Music] To get started, just click on generate

03:21Here you'll see three main sections, video, image, and avatar

03:23And you can use all of them completely for free

03:25All you need to do is turn off the generate with credits option

03:29Inside the video section, you'll find a lot of extra tools

03:33You can use image to video or text to video to create videos or try out the effects to make viral style content

03:41There are also several um really practical editing tools here that I'm sure you'll find super useful

03:46Let's test a few of them together

03:48For example, in image to video, we can regenerate one of the samples here

03:54Here you can also change the prompt, choose the AI model and set the resolution

03:58You can even adjust the camera movement from this section

04:05[Music] While this one's being generated, let's also try text to video with another sample

04:14[Music] Here, in addition to camera movement, you'll also have options for lighting, cameras, and lenses, and different styles to choose from

04:25[Music] Now, these videos can also be extended or you can make changes to them as you like

04:46For creating images, you can simply go to the image section

04:50This part is also completely free and very practical

04:58[Music] [Music] If you head over to the avatar section, you'll see that this part won't cost you any credits either

05:17So, you can create as much as you want without any limits

05:22Today I'll show you how to make jaw-dropping animations with AI

05:29Today I'll show you how to make jaw-dropping animations with AI and it won't cost you a penny

05:34Let's make magic

05:42This is another interesting thing

05:44She had to learn to keep his temper under control

05:46Many practitioner after that a simple change to a new blood

05:52You know what's funny? [Music] You know what's funny? Every time I wanted to tell you something, I practice it a thousand times in my head

06:00But now that you're here, I forgot it all

06:02The second AI I'm introducing today is a really cool one, but it's a little tricky to use at first

06:08Don't worry, though

06:10I'll walk you through it step by step

06:12It's called Chatgm

06:12And if you search for it on Google, you'll probably see the Chinese version first

06:17Once you open the website, everything will be in Chinese, but you can easily switch it to English by right-clicking anywhere on the page and selecting translate to English

06:27To get started, you'll need to log in, and that requires a phone number

06:31If you don't want to use your personal number, you can simply use one from a temporary number website and get your verification code there

06:39Once you're logged in, you'll see that ChatgM also has a powerful image generator with different styles and adjustable settings

06:58In the AI video section, you can check out some really highquality samples and explore its video generation tools

07:02You get access to a good range of settings

07:07You can even render videos in 1080p

07:10However, for sound effects or removing the watermark, you'll need a VIP account

07:14Or, as I've shown in previous videos, you can use other free platforms instead

07:17You can also take advantage of their built-in AI effects, which are actually pretty impressive

07:22Let's go ahead and try creating a few examples together

07:32I think the quality for realistic videos is really good and the generation speed is quite decent too

07:36Now let's test it out for animation

07:42It seems to perform quite professionally here as well and overall the quality is pretty solid

07:51Now moving on to the third AI which is much simpler to use

07:53Like though its quality doesn't quite match the previous ones

07:58Still since it's completely free, it's definitely worth checking out

08:01It's called Quen AI

08:03And when you open it, uh you'll notice that it looks more like Chat GPT than a typical video generator

08:12If you want to create a video here, you'll need to log in

08:14But the good news is no phone number is required

08:16Once you're in, click on video generation and you'll see a couple of sample videos made with this AI

08:24[Music] Then just type your prompt, hit enter, and let it generate

08:33In my opinion, Quinnai does a pretty decent job with realistic videos, but as you can see, it's not really great for animation

08:42All right, let's jump into the next AI

08:44It's not totally free, but with it, you can create anime

08:46The anime interface is really simple, as you can see, and it's categorized so you can easily access the section you want

08:53In this section, you can generate images, edit them, and create anime

08:57When you scroll down, you'll see other people's work

08:59So, take your time and browse through them

09:01You can definitely get some ideas

09:03Their prompts are also listed below the examples, so you can write a prompt similar to theirs or even recreate it if you like one of the samples

09:10From the top right of the website, click sign up

09:14You can log in easily with your email or your Google account

09:17Once logged in, we'll go to the image generation section to create our first image, which is the first step in making an anime

09:23This section has three parts: text to image, image to image, and image editing, which I'll explain later

09:30Let's start with the first one

09:32Here you can either get prompt ideas from chat GPT if you don't have one, or use the quick idea section, which has some ready-made prompts

09:39By clicking on any of them, the prompt appears and you can generate your image

09:45I'll go with this prompt

09:45Next, you choose the model

09:47There are two, the regular one, which is free, and the pro one, which is paid

09:51In the option section, you can choose the aspect ratio

09:55I'll set it to 16 to9

09:55You can also select a style

09:57I'll put it on web tune for now, but I'll try them all and show you the results

10:01In the quantity section, you can choose how many images to generate at once

10:04One is free and two are pro and paid

10:07Click generate

10:07This is the result

10:09It really captured the style perfectly and looks amazing

10:11Here you can see the full prompt, download it, recreate it to get the exact result you want

10:18Go directly to the anime generation section or edit the image if something needs fixing or changing

10:26Let's try different styles we've tested and see how they look

10:36[Music] Now, let's see what the other model offers

10:43I got a prompt from chat GPT and entered it

10:46I'll change the model and keep the same aspect ratio

10:48As you can see in the style section, many more amazing and cooler styles are available

10:55As you see, this section is part of the pro plan

10:57And to access all these awesome styles, you can upgrade your plan

11:01Now, using the same previous model, let's try a few more prompts

11:17The next very useful section is image editing

11:20If an image has a small part you don't like, instead of generating it again, you can just write in the prompt what you want to change and it will fix it perfectly

11:28You can upload an image from your gallery or from your already generated images in the AI

11:33You can upgrade your plan to access this feature fully

11:38But right now, there are other free awesome programs that can edit your images professionally like Collab and Nano Banana

11:45The links are in the description

11:47Now, let's go to the main part, converting images to videos and creating anime

11:51It has two sections, image to anime, and between

11:53In the between section, you input two images, one as the starting frame and one as the ending frame

11:59Write a prompt for what should happen and it automatically creates the entire scene

12:03Here you can also choose the duration and resolution

12:08For anime generation, upload an image from your gallery or already AI generated images, but make sure the image is anime, cartoon, or CG style because if you upload, for example, a realistic photo, the anime won't turn out well

12:22There are some pre-made images you can use to create anime

12:23Enter the video prompt for what you want to happen in the video

12:27Here I take one of the images we generated and input it into the anime generation section without adding any prompt to see what it produces by itself

12:38The result is amazing

12:38It looks very natural

12:43Here's another one

12:43It turned out so cool like we created an anime from a fairy tale

12:48Now I want to give the same image a prompt I got from chat GPT

12:50It turned out absolutely perfect

12:54The facial expressions, hair, and hands all look so natural and amazing

12:58Now, let's try a few of the built-in samples

13:01When you click on an image, it automatically shows the default prompt, but you can still enter your own custom prompt if you want

13:13And finally, let's check out the last AI tool on the list

13:15The quality isn't great, but it might still be helpful

13:19With it, you can uh generate images, edit them, and even turn them into videos

13:23To be honest, the video quality isn't quite on the same level as some of the other competitors, but since it's free and unlimited, it can still be super useful for a lot of you

13:31I've dropped the link in the description

13:34Just click it and you'll uh land on the homepage

13:36The site is really simple and beginnerfriendly, no complicated menus, no messy design, just clean, easy, and ready to use

13:43Here you can create images in any style you want, edit them, and then turn them into videos, all for free and without watermarks

13:48So, let's start from the very beginning

13:50In the top right corner, you'll see sign up

13:52You can log in with your Google account or your email

13:56I usually go with Google because it's faster

13:58But actually, you don't even have to sign up

13:59Like, you can still make images and videos without an account

14:02At the top, you'll find the three main sections: text to image, image to image, and image to video

14:09There are also plenty of other tools to try out, so feel free to explore and experiment

14:12Let's generate an image together

14:14Click on text to image, then generate image from text

14:18Now you're inside the image creation panel

14:20Here's the prompt box where you type your idea

14:25If you don't have anything in mind, you can grab a prompt from chat GPT or just click here and it'll suggest one for you

14:30Next, pick your aspect ratio, hit generate, and that's it

14:43Look at this result

14:43Super sharp, vibrant colors, and no watermark at all

14:47You can also download it right here

14:49That's the full process of creating an image

14:52Now, let's take a look at some more images I've already made

14:53As you can see, they're all different styles, but the the quality is great

14:57And again, uh no watermarks

15:00And the best part, you can create these with just a few clicks

15:06All right, time to make a video

15:06Click on image to video, then generate video from image

15:11Upload the image you want and you'll see two prompt boxes

15:13One for describing the video itself and one for the camera movement

15:18If you already know what you want, just type it in

15:20If not, you can click here and it'll generate prompts for you

15:24The better the prompt, the better the final video

15:26You can also adjust the video length and format

15:28In the free version, the default quality model is used

15:32If you upgrade to pro, you'll get access to the pro model for even better results

15:37Click generate

15:37And here's the video

15:40The camera movement is smooth and it does a really nice job turning the image into motion

15:44Let's check out a few more videos I created in different styles

16:03And remember, this AI isn't just limited to these features

16:06It's packed with tools that make it feel like an all-in-one creative assistant

16:09Pretty much everything you need is right here

16:13Hopefully, this helps you create some amazing projects

16:15Until next time, stay creative.
