Minimax AI has released their image to video feature which also means now we can create 3D animations with more accurate consistent characters for example take a look at this Little Red Riding Hood arrived at her grandmother's quaint Cottage nestled at the edge of the forest inside the cottage the wolf now disguised as grandmother lay in bed waiting for Little Red Riding Hood just as the wolf was about to pounce a brave Hunter burst through the door the hunter chased the wolf out of the house saving little red writing Hood the video you just watched was
made using the Minimax image to video generator unlike other video generators this AI has managed to keep the style of each frame throughout the video which is something that other AI video generators failed to do so in this video I'm going to walk you through the process of making this kind of AI animation in order to create the animation we are going to need highquality images with consist characters and creating those images requires welld detailed prompts and writing these prompts might be timec consuming and could be stressful so that's why I created this special prompt
structure so what you have to do is copy this prompt and paste it in chat GPT so basically it's saying I want to create an AI animated story about within brackets Your Story please give me a script with narrations and prompt to generate images of related scenes The Prompt should be well detailed and simple also add style within bracket your style at the end of each prompt now what you have to do is to remove this part and type whatever story you want to create so I want to generate a script about little red writing
Hood also I'm going to replace this part with Whimsical 3D Pixar style now hit enter and wait for chat GPT to generate your script after the script is generated you might able to see that each scene has a narration part and an image prompt the problem with this image prompt is that it will not help us to generate consistent characters that's why I'm going to use an additional prompt part to generate consistent characters basically what you have to do is to describe your character's appearance in simple for example like this Little Red Riding Hood 10
years old girl brown hair wearing Red Cloak with hood white blouse brown skirt brown shoes so basically you have to prepare something like this for every character mentioned in the script you can take chat gpt's help for this but I tried and didn't work for me just go through the script and find the characters that appears on multiple scenes and create a description for all of them for the characters appear on one scene there is no need to create a description for example the mother of Little Red Riding Hood appears only in one scene so
there is no need to create a consistent character for her so now what you have to do is prepare the final prompt for example let's take the prompt given under the first scene copy that to a Word document Now find the description of the character that chat GPT generated and delete it then copy the consistent character prompt you prepared and paste it you don't have to copy it everywhere where the character is mentioned just on the first time mention on each scene is enough now your prompt is completed now you can use an AI image
generator to generate images using this prompt I would recommend you to use any image generator with Advanced models like flux I'm using the puman website it's faster and generates quality images you can generate four Images at once and pick the best one you like you can see it has generated me four images and in all four Images the character is almost looks the same some images have two little red writing hoods because the AI included her mother similar to her but in some images there is a separate character even we didn't include a detail of
her mother anyways she won't appear in other scenes so it really doesn't matter how she looks and some images might miss the details that were mentioned in the previous scenes for example in the previous scene Little Red Riding Hood had a basket on her hand but in the next Scene It was missing this happened due to chat GPT not providing the required details so it's good to keep eye on such mistakes and fix them by yourself follow the same step for all the scenes and generate the images then you can pick the ones you like
and download them into a folder the next part is to turn these images into animated videos the tool we are going to use for that is called Minimax AI or huo AI this is a tool that used to be free and unlimited but now they have introduced paid plans but don't worry they still have a free plan where you can generate three videos per day three videos might seem like a lot less but considering the quality and the alternative sites we are left with by the time I'm making this video this method is still the
best you can click this icon and upload the images you generated then type a simple prompt you basically have to type what kind of Animation you want in the first image I want little red writing Hood to smile and camera to move slowly toward her that's enough you don't need to mention the video style or any other unnecessary detail after the creation is done you may able to see how good this tool is compared to other tools follow the same steps and generate videos from all the images now we have to generate the voice over
a free tool like clipchamp would be enough for the work I have Windows version installed on my computer so I'm going to use its text to speech feature now copy the narration part from chat GPT and paste it in here select a suitable voice for a children's story something like this choose from a variety of voices to help you create a story worth sharing now you can generate the voice over to save time I'm going to generate all the narration Parts in one file clipchamp does not allow you to export audio files so you have
to export them as video files I recommend you to download the 480p version because we only going to need the audio now we have basic things needed to start the editing process I recommend a tool like cap cut for the editing process because it's free and easy to use anyway the first thing you need to do is to arrange the video clips according to the voice over this will basically take a few minutes if the narration part is shorter than the video then crop part of the video if the narration is little long longer than
the video then reduce the speed of the video to match the related audio if the narration is too long than the video consider generating extra scenes to fill the Gap when the basic editing is done this is how it should look like once upon a time in a small quaint Village nestled in the heart of the forest there lived a cheerful young girl known to all as Little Red Riding Hood one morning her mother called her to the kitchen and gave her a basket full of treats it's good but we can make some improvements to
it I'll start by adding some sound effects you can search for them on cap Cut's audio library or from YouTube you can also add background music if you want to you can find non-copyright music from the YouTube Library anyway I'm not going to add any music so let's export the video and finish the job once upon a time in a small quaint Village nestled in the heart of the forest there lived a cheerful young girl known to all as Little Red Riding Hood one morning her mother called her to the kitchen and gave her a
basket full of treats she supposed to deliver it to her grandmother Little Red Riding Hood set off on her journey through the forest skipping along the winding path as she ventured deeper into the woods a Sly and cunning wolf appeared from behind a tree his eyes gleamed with Mischief as he approached Little Red Riding Hood finally Little Red Riding Hood arrived at her grandmother's quaint Cottage nestled at the edge of the forest inside the cottage the wolf now disguised as grandmother lay in bed waiting for Little Red Riding Hood just as the wolf was about
to pounce a brave Hunter burst through the door the hunter chased the wolf out of the house saving Little Red Riding Hood with the wolf gone they found her grandmother and they all sat down to enjoy the treats from Little Red's basket
