take a look at this AI generated [Music] video it got 13 million impressions on X if you can't grab people's attention today I'm going to show you the best free tools that turns images into videos quickly you don't need any technical experience no upfront investment and the first video you can create in less than 60 seconds I found the seven best image to video AI generators and I'm not just going to talk about them for the next 5 hours I'm going to test them and rank them and I'm saving the most popular for last so
let's start with number one hyper AI as you can see Vision to hyper reality all we need to do is to click on log in and create a free account before we start generating I actually want to share the secret on how we actually make a video like this so you would take your video and then you would take an actual screenshot of the last frame here and here you can see that it transitions from the actual image to the actual generated video and it goes actually really crazy obviously and now that we're on the
inside you can see a lot of different Creations that other people have created not only does it have text to image it also has text to video image to video that I'll show you today extend duration video enhancer and video to video you also get 300 credits when you sign up for free that allows you to get five Creations per day so I actually really like that but the main question is how good is the image to video so how it works is that they actually have multiple things that you can do with it called
key frame conditioning where you can have a first frame image middle frame image and last frame image that kind of warps from image to image we're just going to use one image here and we'll have the exact same images for all the competitors here so I'm going to drag this in here and write woman on stage speaking with logos in the background you can choose from 2 seconds to 8 seconds and this uses some credits we have resolution of HD and SD and that's about it let's click on Create and see what we get after
about a minute we got this back and definitely looks like she's aged a couple years mouth lip movement not so good let's try the next one this is a giant mechanical tiger running down a highway drone shot that looks super sick but definitely a lot of warping in the arms here yep and I think a lot of the image to video generators are going to have a big problem with actually getting this one to run and look like it's abiding the LW of physics but that's why we're testing them right and let's check out the
last example the boy and girl running down a field of flowers catching a butterfly this one actually looks really good you can see especially on the kid here that it's right leg left leg right leg again and you could kind of fool me that this was a real video if you don't look closely at the butterfly that's kind of appearing from her dress here but all in all this one is actually really good so ranking it on quality speed customiz station ease of use and price I guess the best part of it is that it
was quite fast to generate and it's completely free so it might be one of the best free options but we'll put it in B tier for now video generator number two Luma dream machine as you can see from the videos on the screen Luma laabs is actually touted to be one of the best image to video generators and I've tested it before I got mixed results with it but let's see how it fares in this test all you need to do is to click on try now and we're now on the inside you can actually
get quite a bit of free Generations every single day one note with all of these is that if you have free some of them might say we're at capacity today and that leads to not being able to generate or taking a very long time to generate but from my testing with Luma today it took about 2 minutes per generation now all you you need to do to generate with this is either just type some text which is text to video that I'm not covering in this video I'm just covering image to video and all you
need to do is click on this image here we're going to upload the same exact image and prompt it woman on stage speaking with logos in the background and how I generated all these images was through the flux Pro generation this is something I'm testing out now and I'm actually really enjoying the images that comes out but one thing that you might find is that you can click on enhance prompt for the testing of all these tools I actually ticked off the enhanced prompt because what it does is it changes the entire prompt to basically
add more detail in there and through looking at other video comparisons sometimes it's better or worse if you click it so I toggled it off but I already made one with it toggled off so I'll also click on enhance prompt on this and see if we can get a backto back comparison so while we're waiting for that let's try to check the giant mechanical Tiger shot yeah the movement is super realistic right here it's so fascinating that it actually doesn't really animate the tiger at all you can obviously see the car is animated I mean
it doesn't really animate a car that much but you see the background moving everything moving so that the tiger is not animated is kind of annoying but yeah this is Luma Labs let's take a look at the boy and girl running through a field of flowers here you can definitely see that her legs are starting to warp into each other as she's turning to the right I kind of like that she's turning to the right looking at the boy to have like more interaction but it looks like the boy is actually looking to the right
so hard to get right there and also do you see that he's kind of grow ing his hair out through the scene as well don't really like that and I don't really like that there's no movement in the image as well it's just a still image no zooming in or nothing like that so do you like this video uh could be better but let's check out the last one the woman on stage speaking and this is how it looks like whoa she turn what is happening so when she turns her face she turns really old
and then we got a third arm popping out from the bottom just whoop hello there so yeah I'm not really sure if that is a good uh generation or yeah I can definitely say that it's not such a good generation there hopefully if we have the enhance on it's probably going to be a little bit better we're going to wait with that one until okay so I waited for 24 minutes in Q I'm not going to show off the enhanced prompt cuz need to to finish video so with Luma I feel like a lot of
people are saying oh it's the best one out there but for me I really found that it's not the greatest one and almost every single time that I've tested it on this channel I don't seem to get good results with it maybe because I'm prompting bad oring too hard of use cases but I do believe it's better than hyper so I'm going to put it in a reluctant a for now I think it's like a in between A and B here and also because you can use it for free I found that does help in
the rankings but let's jump to the next one video generator number three Vu AI as you can see your creation turn text and images into videos how to automate social media scraping for free in seconds even my grandma could do this step number one get the magical AI Chrome extension step number two go to your favorite social media I'm going to go to Twitter and open all of these in a new tab step number three just click on the magical Chrome extension and I'm going to click on add to a new spreadsheet now I can
click on anything I want to add to the spreadsheet so maybe the description their first pin post with likes and retweet and it adds things for you automatically now let's click on done now it asks do you want to transfer all similar tabs like the 10 tabs you have open yep let's do all tabs and boom we got all of them in the spreadsheet using this no build automation but what if you use something like Salesforce or HubSpot well you would have to fill out a form like this now all you need to do write
slash slash and as you can see it will automatically transfer the last name first name job title or company name I'll just click it and we just saved 24 seconds so check the link in the description to get magical today thank you so much to magical AI for sponsoring this section of the video video generator number three Vu AI as you can see your creation turn text and images into videos this is actually one that most people don't know about and I haven't tested it out before so let's do it together I'm going to click
on try VD sign in with Google and now we're on the inside as you can see we can create by dragging an image here or inputting text as well I put all the images into the platform and generated them but I haven't taken a look yet one of the benefits here is that you do get free credits but you can only generate one at a time which is kind of a problem because it takes a while for them to generate and the other thing I ran into was I'm going to try to show you actually
when I entered this here it said we're at capacity right now yes there you go task limic exceeded product is extremely popular server load has reached its limit but all I did to circumvent this was to just Spam the create button again and again and we got to creating some images but how is the actual quality let's take a look at our first prompt here with woman on stage let's look at that again yeah she's just transporting to a different uh sort of angle where the eyes look like a horror movie like she's extremely bored
yeah and the quality being really really low there let's take a look at the giant mechanical tiger here whoa again it's kind of like a kid that doesn't want to play the way that you want to play you just enter an image and you're like yeah let's animate it like this and then you're like n let's do it like this instead it's pretty interesting the way that the video is generated kind of Moon walking backwards never seen that before and all of a sudden it is more of a drone shot yes but is it good
uh let's take a look at the last one here and I can predict that it's kind of going to just uh it's actually more consistent look at that let's take a look from the beginning yeah the running and the camera motion here being super cool so here you can really see that it's more of a cinematic shot in a way of kind of yeah I could really use this in some sort of video or movie of the kids and like our protagonist being a kid or something like that super cool yeah so that one is
actually really good really liked the video and the camera motion and everything like that one important thing to mention is that they do have an app that you can use on your phone which I think is cool and they also have a used character reference so you can basically upload your face and then have consistent characters over the entire video but the quality in itself is pretty bad so you would have to do a scaler like for example topas Labs I feel like it gets a perfect placement directly in there with Hyper yeah pretty happy
with that video generator number four Kaa AI so once you go to the homepage of Kaa they actually have a bunch of different apps and they make it really easy to use but uh let's go into the video generation so I'll just click on generate videos here and basically how this is different compared to all the other ones is you can upload an image by adding a key frame so I'll click like this and I can for example transition between the girl on stage then I can transition to the tiger and then I can transition
into the boy and the girl and it's quite a big difference in comparison to the other ones and that's why I also wanted to add it into this video cuz I think some of you might find this a lot more fun to use and get some crazy result so let's test it out right now now and then I'm going to show you the three results that I got in the end so you can see here that I've added all of these images you can even increase the clip duration here all the way up to 10
seconds which is really cool and it generates really fast I'm going to have this and the setting which is film you can also do render animation and experimental it's really fun to play around with but I'll just click on generate video now as you can see in real time it's going to go through the timeline and try to create the video so first it will kind of generate the lower quality version and then after that you will get the highest quality version and as you may see this is way more crazy more abstract and to
me this is actually one of my favorite styles especially if you would do some sort of music video where they're morphing into each other and things like that maybe a trailer of a Netflix movie or something like that that looks kind of trippy and you can even scrub through the scene here but let me show you how it actually looks like where I downloaded all of them individually all of them being 4 seconds with the exact same prompt so this was the first generation that I created and you can definitely see that the realism is
really not their strong suit so I wouldn't really recommend Kaa for realism but what I do recommend it for is the style so you may see here that the style is just really cool and the way that it's warping and the way that it's kind of trippy in a sense is really what gets me here as well with a boy and the girl running through the field of flowers the style is really what gets to me as it kind of hits my brain in a different way compared to the other AI generators that we've been
talking about so when we're ranking Kaa here it's kind of in a league of its own I know that for me when I want to try to generate a bunch of videos with images I go to Korea really quickly because of the speed and customization Isa use how fun it is to create so I guess if you're looking for realism it's not really for you but for me to generate some abstract cool videos from images that grabs people's attention it's definitely an S for me and remember that we're saving the most popular for last like
number five pix verse this is one that I haven't really tested myself but it's on every single list over best AI video generator so I'll just click on sign in with Google Now that I'm on the inside you can see due to high demand video generation times may be longer yep seems like everybody wants to generate videos at this time and from the examples that I see here it actually looks really good so I'm going to test it myself they do have pix verse v2.5 text to video image to video and character to video I'm
going to use the image to video drag our image in here they have Magic Brush which I believe is that you can add motion to only a certain part of the image The Prompt here that I'm going to do the exact same model we do the v2.5 and duration 5 Seconds this cost 15 credits and you get 30 credits per day so pretty lackluster you can only generate two for free so it may not be the best free version if you're looking for that there's also the motion mode normal and the motion mode performance so
I bet that takes a little bit longer to generate there also a camera movement here where we can select anywhere of Auto camera horizontal left right and things like that and the seed but these are the generations that I was able to create for free let's take a look at the first one woman on stage you can definitely see that her face is warping a lot and it doesn't really stand a chance in comparison with some of the other AI video generators I like that the hands are staying quite the same and it's not automatically
popping up a third arm but let's take a look at the second one and remember I can only generate two of them because of 30 credits but look at this we actually get some movement in the ti tiger this is the first time we actually been able to get the Tigers paw and limbs to move in a sort of realistic way so that's actually really cool it still looks like The Uncanny Valley it still looks like it's not really heavy or anything like that there's no weight to it but all in all not so bad
the fact that you could only get two images for free I know a lot of you are going to be not so interested in it anymore the quality of the output was on the level of luma I guess but it doesn't really feel right I think it fits pretty well into B tier and we're keep moving up to the most popular video generators like video generator number six Runway ml so basically when Runway ml introduced the Gen 3 Alpha all of X was just just raving about it and we checked out a bunch of different
Generations ourself and posted on it from what I've seen it's actually insane but I actually never got to test it myself because their free version is it's not possible to use every time I click the generate video I get the hey we're at capacity you need to upgrade to be able to get a generation so if you're looking for a free version yeah it's not going to be for you but if you're looking for the best we might have the best result so I only looked at one of them and how Runway works is they
have a bunch of different ways like image to video text to video and even video to video as well as a bunch of other AI tools that you can use but we're of course going to test image to video so we just click on get started and here is where we drop an image and then we describe our shot one of the cool things here is you can actually apply some of these kind of templates on top of it that is fast motion or high angle macro cinematography portrait transition and effects that look really cool
what I did was exactly the same added image described our prompt which is a very simple prompt there's also one other thing to say is that they have gen 3 Alpha turbo which is faster and gen 3 Alpha that is what we used because I want the highest quality but how are the results let's take a look here is the woman on stage and I want to just say wow perfect generation almost looks like a human that the only thing that is kind of you would be uh kind pulls you out of the realism is
that if flashes a little bit in the background look at the logos in the background right now you can see that it's it kind of flickers a bit you see the hands are perfect almost where the right hand does get three fingers there but it kind of doesn't matter in a sense on her left hand you still see that it's actually pretty good what do you think is this the best generation that we've gotten so far absolutely yes but what about the tiger that is on the highway running I didn't see this before so let's
take a look together let's go wow that's actually incredible it's not perfect and what is happening at the end there with a car just popping out on the right side also looks like it's stopping but in comparison with the other Generations I really like this one kind of focuses in on the robot and there's some action going on um definitely missing some weight to it like it doesn't smash into the ground or anything like that real realistic movements and also the car at the end hey Runway why you sliding in a car like that but
yeah to me this is levels above everything else that we've seen today and for the last version of the boy and the girl running through a field of flowers also look at the weight of the hair and actually how it interacts with her legs when the Gravity Falls that's next level in comparison to what we've seen before right so you can really see that Runway is taking the first place here in the video generation battles absolutely incredible the only thing taking it back is the price but if you're looking for the best you have maybe
found it unless our last pick takes the Throne video generator number seven cling AI as you can see we're on the homepage right now and some say that this is the Sora killer from China before we wasn't able to access this but now anybody can access it and you also have free Generations that you can use on The Daily so all we need to do to sign up is just click on this button and we're now on the inside you can see some generations that other people have created here and I have done the exact
same as I did with the other ones added all the videos in here and I haven't taken a look yet the one thing that I want to mention is that I tried to generate for free but it literally took yeah 24 hours this is the next day and I got one of the Generations on the free plan this might be because they're all so popular right now and I'm in a queue forever so I had to buy the standard package which was like $3 a month or so something cuz they had a special de gloring
arm right now but how you create a video like this is just go to image to video drag the image in here then we can add a prompt this is also optional so you don't have to and then there's two different settings one of them is the standard mode I clicked on professional mode I actually have one of the generations in standard but the professional mode you actually have to upgrade to get access to that in the length you can do 5 Seconds all the way up to 10 seconds which is really cool and we
can add some camera movement as well and a negative prompt this is for example adding things like blur Distortion or grain and it will help the generation be a lot better so how was the results that I got with cling first I want to show you the one Standard Generation that I got from this tiger let's take a look as you can see it is a more floaty slow motion tiger and definitely the movement is a little bit wonky however it's definitely one of the best Generations that we've gotten so far but let's take a
look at the actual high quality ones that I'm very excited to take a look at first we have the girl on stage speaking and here we actually get quite weird generation there's a s like a sudden camera move right here that is just going to the right and you can see the mouth movement is not so great you can see the microphone on her mouth just starts popping up which is maybe something they've trained their data set on or something like that but all in all doesn't really look as realistic as Runway let's check out
the professional mode tiger whoa yes that's exactly what I was looking for Jesus Christ that is really good you see that he's sliding a little bit with his feet but having the camera move upwards like this running quite fast and almost being a good heavy body with the tiger movement is absolutely incredible so this is by far my favorite generation that I got from cling AI uh professional mode here I would love to see this in 10 seconds as well but let's jump to the boy and a girl running in a field of flowers here
we go again you see the girl's hair has physics and is blowing in the wind you see the leg movement of both the boy and the girl is left right left right the camera movement has a sudden shift in it a little bit of shake and the Butterfly is really good obviously transforms into just two butterflies going into one but all in all this is really really good for cling here so I'm actually very happy with this res sold personally this moves directly up to an S tier and it being cheaper than Runway is a
big plus so in s tier we got Kaa with its crazy animations and transitioning that has a cool style if that's for you Runway you have a very good facial and you saw the girl on stage was almost perfectly humanlike you almost couldn't tell Korea being a little bit cheaper and also giving it an extremely good generation of the tiger running and the main problem with these two however is that you do have to upgrade so I find that Luma may be the best free option but we also found with that that I had to
wait like 26 minutes for it to actually do something at the time of this recording it may be because they're just insanely popular and don't have enough servers to be able to actually generate that many for free so if you're wondering which one I think are the best these are the ones I would go for I got links to them all in the description down below and if you're looking for a way to use them to the best of your ability get views and grab attention there's a private Community down in the description there's only
a wait list for it right now for creators using AI tools to get things done faster so join the waiting list to be the first one to get notified about that thank you so much for watching and I'll see you in next one peace
