Want to create animated short films
where characters actually talk, react,
and feel real. Just like this.
>> Wow, you're real. I was almost sure you
were AI.
>> Okay, real question. If this cafe
suddenly caught fire,
>> I'd save the coffee first, you second.
>> In this video, I will show you exactly
how to make scenes like this using only
AI. No design or animation skills
needed. Videos like these get millions
of views and creators are already making
money with them on YouTube. Let's jump
right in. To create the animated videos,
we will follow five simple steps. Step
one is creating the story. If you
already have a script ready, feel free
to skip ahead. But if you don't, no
worries. You can use chat GPT to
generate one in seconds. Here's a prompt
template you can use. Just plug in your
topic, define a theme, specify the
target age group, the number of
characters, desired story length, and
tone of dialogue. I have added examples
alongside each one to show you exactly
what to fill in. These are the settings
I will be using, but feel free to tweak
them to craft fresh, engaging stories
and character dialogues for your
animation. When you are ready, open chat
GPT and paste in the prompt template.
Hit send and within moments chat GPT
will generate a complete story line with
dialogues for every character. Once your
script is ready, simply copy it and
paste it into Google Docs or any text
editor to keep your project organized.
Now that the dialogues are ready, it's
time for step two, adding voices. You
can skip this step if you prefer to add
voices later during the lips sync
process. To begin, go to your script and
copy the first dialogue of Liam. Open
chat GPT and enter this text followed by
the dialogue and hit run. Just below the
generated response, you will see three
dots. Click on it, then select read
aloud. Chat GPT will read the line in a
natural expressive voice.
>> Wow, you're real. I was almost sure you
were AI.
>> If you want a different voice, on the
bottom left, click your profile icon and
go to settings. This window will pop up.
Under voice, use the dropown to choose
from a variety of male and female
voices. Select one and chat GPT will now
use that voice to read all your text.
>> Hello, it's lovely to meet you.
>> But there is no option to save the
audio. For an easy workound, open this
Chrome extension. Now, click add to
Chrome to install the extension. And
don't forget to pin the extension for
quick access later. To record your
audio, switch back to your chat GPT tab
and click on the extension. Then hit
start capture to begin recording. To
play the narration, tap the three dots.
Select read aloud and the voice over
will get recorded.
>> When finished, click the extension again
and hit stop capture to stop recording
and this page will open. Once the
processing is completed, you can
download the audio. Repeat this process
for each character in your story. Be
sure to name each audio file clearly so
you stay organized. Once all character
voiceovers are ready, we will move on to
step three, creating the scenes
using just two character images. Let me
show you what's possible. Here's the boy
riding a motorcycle to a cafe. And
here's another scene. A girl sitting at
a cafe table with perfect consistency.
Now imagine this. Both characters
sitting together inside a cafe or
relaxing on a park bench. Every scene
visually cohesive and perfectly
consistent. Let me show you this in action.
action.
>> Okay, real question. If this cafe
suddenly caught fire,
>> I'd save the coffee first. You
>> the best part. You don't need Photoshop.
You don't even need any drawing skills.
Let me walk you through how it's done.
I'm using a platform called Design.ai,
AI, an all-in-one creative suite with
tools for image generation, lip sync,
and animation. Inside Design.ai, there's
a new image model called Nano Banana,
and it's seriously impressive. Here's
how to get started. Go to design.ai from
the link in the description and create
your account. Once you are in, click on
new project.
The first step is to set your canvas
ratio and name your project. Then click
apply. At the top you will see the
toolbar and on the left are all the main
AI features available in canvas. For
this example click on the canvas area
and upload an image. Now click on the
uploaded picture. This will bring up the
editing panel at the bottom. Click on
chat editor and from the drop down on
the left select nano banana as your
image model. You can also change the
aspect ratio from here. To generate a
scene from the image, you will need to
enter a prompt. Let me show you a few
examples. Here's the first one. The girl
is sitting in a cafe placing an order
with a waiter standing nearby. In this
one, she's holding a cat while sitting
at the same cafe. Then I uploaded a
picture of the boy and typed the boy
riding a motorcycle. You can also upload
more images by clicking the plus icon.
Here's one with both the boy and the
girl sitting together in a cafe. Just
repeat this process to generate all your
scenes and download them to your
computer when you're done. Let's walk
through the lipsyncing process. To
begin, click on the lips sync tab. You
have two options to start with. Pick a
face image or upload a face video. Let's
start with a face image. I will pick
this image to upload it to the canvas.
design will automatically detect all the
faces in the image, making it easy to
lip-s sync multiple characters in a
single scene. Here's how it works. Click
on the face you want to lip-s sync. To
sync multiple characters, select them in
the order they speak, first, second, and
so on. Then click next. The image and
selected characters will now appear in
the timeline. Click on pick a voice for
the first character to open this window.
Under text to speech, enter the
character's dialogue.
Then under voice tone, browse through
the voices and preview them before
picking one.
>> Hold on to your hats, folks.
>> But as we already have our voice tracks
prepared, I will switch to the upload
audio tab and upload the audio file
instead. Once uploaded, it will appear
in the timeline. Repeat the process for
any additional characters,
arranging each audio file in the
timeline as needed. On the left panel,
you get two generation modes. Pro is for
multi characters and better movement and
clarity. Finally, click generate. And in
a few moments, your lips synced video
will be ready. As you will see, the tool
does an impressive job syncing lip movements.
movements.
>> Wow, you're real. I was almost sure you
were AI. >> Disappointed.
>> Disappointed.
But the character movements are quite
limited. So what if you want to take it
a step further? Imagine your characters
moving, reacting, even using gestures
and expressions, just like in a real
conversation. That's exactly what design
lets you do. With video lips sync, you
can turn a still image into an animated
video with lifelike motion and then sync
it with audio. This approach allows your
characters to move naturally. Use hand gestures
gestures
>> and react with realistic body language.
It adds a whole new level of expression
and engagement to your scenes. Let me
show you how it works. On the left
panel, click on AI video. You will see
that design integrates with some of the
best AI video generators available.
For this example, I will choose cling
2.5. Next, click on the upload icon and
select the image you want to animate. In
the prompt box on the left, describe the
kind of motion or expression you'd like
to see in your video. For example,
subtle gestures, head movements, or
emotional reactions. Then, choose the
duration for your video and click
generate. Once your video is ready,
simply download it to your computer. And
here's the result. To get more
expressive results, you can also include
hand gestures or body language cues
directly in your prompt. To add lips
sync to the video, click this tab to
head back to the lip sync page. Click
the upload a face video button to upload
the video you just created. And just
like before, it will automatically
detect the faces. Select the faces and
hit next. Then continue just as before
and upload the audio of the first
character followed by the second
character. Arrange the audio in the
timeline and hit generate. After a few
minutes, your lips synced video will be
generated. Click this button to download
the video. And here is the result.
>> Wow, you're real. I was almost sure you
were AI.
>> Disappointed. This method brings your
characters and scenes to life with
greater realism and expression. By
spending a little extra time refining
the movements and overall scene, you
will achieve a much more polished and
professional result.
>> Repeat this process for all the scenes
you had created and turn them into
video. Then lip sync them and download
them to your computer. Once done, open
any video editor. I will go with
Clipchamp. Import all the video clips.
Arrange them in the order of your story
and export it as your short AI film.
>> Wow, you're real. I was almost sure you
were AI.
>> Okay, real question. If this cafe
suddenly caught fire,
>> I'd save the coffee first, you second.
>> Good answer. Shows priorities and
honesty. Next time, don't be late.
>> Next time,
>> don't ruin the moment. That's how you
can create AI animated films using
Design AI. Link in the description. If
