[Music] here's everything you need to know to create a retro 1950s Style video using the power of AI exactly like the videos on my YouTube channel where I have reached close to a million views in just 3 weeks by the end of this video you'll know exactly how to use AI to create these videos and you will be equipped with the skills and tools to produce your very own 1950s inspired trailer complete with era appropriate script music and video footage so let's dive in we will go through the following major steps first we will start
with creating the script then creating and selecting the best music for the video the next logical step is creating images that match the script followed by the all important step of transforming those images into videos and finally assembling and editing the videos into the final trailer stay until the end if you want to hear my top tips to create the best retro videos and for the final result otherwise feel free to jump directly to any chapters of Interest step one creating the script log into chat GPT which is free Link in the description once you
have selected the movie you can directly ask chat GPT to create a first draft of a script and voiceover trailer in a 1950s Style in our example we will go with Star Wars the Force awakens you can ask chat GPT to present the main Heroes the antagonists and any specific characters here let's go with Ray and Finn for the heroes if you want to further customize the script you can set the length of the voice over in your question for example 90 seconds I usually ask the same question to chat GPT several times and create
a script based on the best lines out of its multiple answers feel free to ask chat GPT to add some humor some suspense some romance depending on the video you are making let your imagination and creativity run wild and chat GPT will help bring your IDE ideas to Life Next is giving life to your script log into 11 Labs which has a free basic subscription Link in the description copy paste your script into the text to speech section select the narrator voice you prefer and just click generate I have tried a dozen AI narration software
but so far 11 Labs is my first choice to create a realistic voice like the voice I am using right now for this video you can try out the different narrator voices from the default choice provided by 11 Labs or you can also go to their voice Library where you can select any type that would best fit your video if you want to add some emphasis you can add exclamation marks and the AI will produce a variation of the narration if you are still not satisfied with the result go to settings and adjust the style
exaggeration and or the stability settings and each generation will vary from the base case you can try and play with the settings until you get the perfect Voice next is creating and selecting the perfect music you can find some good copyright free music on the internet YouTube or pixabay Link in the description but if you want custom AI generated music you can head over to sunno link in the description just add a song description and click on the instrumental toggle to remove any lyrics they have a free tier where you can create about 10 songs
per day to test out their AI before you need to pay anything once you found the perfect track download it and keep it handy for the editing part of the video there is another AI music generator called udio that is very similar and also has a free trial you can use both in tandem to see which one best fits your music taste now is the core part of the creative process creating vintage images with mid journey to use mid Journey you will need to download and install the Discord application which is mainly used as a
chat software Link in the description once you have the Discord app installed go to explore discoverable servers where you will find the mid Journey server if you can't find it just type it in the search bar you can then follow their step-by-step process to subscribe and understand the basics once you have subscribed the best way to create your 1950s images is to create your own private server to avoid having your Creations mixed up with all the other people on the internet just go to add a server then invite the mid Journey bot to your server
and allow it to post message mesages you can then start typing in your image prompt starting with SL imagine for our example we will go with Ry as Marilyn Monroe in a desert setting this part of the process requires a lot of trial and error so we can just send a few requests and we will be able to select the best result I have included my full prompt example in the description so we've got different results and now we need to select the best picture that matches what we are looking for with a 1950s Vibe
once we have found something good we can just select the corresponding U button for upscaling to increase the resolution of the picture now that we have a great highresolution picture for Ray we can actually ask mid journey to create pictures with a consistent character with a specific prompt here a demonstration of pictures with a consistent character I have included my full prompt example in the description after testing over a dozen AI image generators it seems that for now mid journey is the best in terms of quality unfortunately it does not have a free tier subscription
their unlimited tier will set you back $30 a month alternatively you can use any free AI image generators like the Microsoft one available under Bing or Leonardo which has a limited free trial links in the description now is where the magic happens converting images into videos with Runway Link in the description just go to the image to Video Creator upload your images and let Runway work its magic to transform them them into video clips this part of the process also requires some trial and error so just send five requests and we will be able to
select the best result you can add some text in the prompt in order to help the AI figure out what the image is about for best results on character portraits or still images I would suggest to keep the motion level between three and five so we've got different results and now we need to select the best video that looks realistic and has some movements this part of the process also requires some trial and error so if nothing is good enough you can tweak The Prompt and the motion level and send another five requests until one
of the videos is good for trickier Clips with a lot of movements I usually send 30 to 50 requests until I get a good enough video as the AI has difficulty managing movement Runway has a limited free trial and the unlimited subscription will set you back $95 per month you can also use other AI video generators that are fully free or have free daily quotas I have tested a lot of them and the current best on the market are pabs Leonardo hyper and pixe Link in the description it's time to piece together all the elements
of the trailer using editing software I personally use Adobe Premiere Pro for the editing but any video editing software will do the trick I usually do the sound part first so that I can then add the video clips to match the voice over we will import the voiceover narration and the music we will then adjust the voice with a few simple settings to give the voice and music an over the radio feel once the sound is good we can now import the video clips into the timeline I usually add a top and bottom black overlay
to give a cinematic feel to the video and then we can add a white grainy layer to give a retro feeling I tend not to add too many overlays anymore in order to keep the image relatively clear I have included the free link to the white grainy layer in the description for some video clips I also manually adjust the color and lighting to improve the Retro Vibe but as long as your picture looks old enough you won't need to do this additional adjustment I have a lot of tips but here are my top three to
make better retro videos focus on quality rather than quantity your videos will have a longer shelf life and your audience will thank you for that be original choose a movie no one has covered yet or do an original mashup so that people enjoy watching your video most importantly have fun focus on Films you love you really won't feel like it is work and now let's relax sit back and enjoy the final result in a galaxy far far away a new chapter unfolds as the forces of Good and Evil Clash once more meet Ray a Plucky
