Video Creation

Master the art of AI video generation and editing.

Creating Videos with CopyCopter Studio

CopyCopter Studio offers multiple approaches to video creation, each suited to different creative needs. This guide covers the fundamentals of generating and editing video content.

Video Generation Methods

1. Image-to-Video

Transform static images into dynamic video clips. This is the most common starting point for creators.

Best For:

  • • Adding motion to product photos
  • • Creating cinematic sequences from stills
  • • Animating artwork or illustrations
  • • Building narrative sequences

How to Use:

  1. Upload your source image (recommended: high resolution, 1920x1080 or higher)
  2. Add the image to your timeline
  3. Write a motion prompt describing the desired movement
  4. Select an appropriate AI model
  5. Generate and review

2. Video-to-Video

Apply AI transformations to existing video footage, changing style, mood, or content while maintaining motion.

Best For:

  • • Style transfers and artistic effects
  • • Enhancing or modifying existing footage
  • • Creating consistent visual styles across clips
  • • Experimental and creative transformations

3. Text-to-Video (Coming Soon)

Generate video content directly from text descriptions without source imagery.

Writing Effective Prompts

The quality of your prompts directly impacts the quality of generated videos. Here are some guidelines:

Camera Movement Prompts

✓ Good
"Slow dolly zoom in, cinematic lighting"
✗ Avoid
"Make it move"

Subject Action Prompts

✓ Good
"Woman turns head slowly, hair flowing in breeze"
✗ Avoid
"Person moves"

Resolution and Quality Settings

Understanding resolution options helps balance quality with generation time and costs:

HD (1280x720)

Fast generation, good for testing and previews

~1-2 min generationLower cost

Full HD (1920x1080)

Recommended for most professional projects

~2-4 min generationStandard cost

4K (3840x2160)

Maximum quality for high-end productions

~5-10 min generationHigher cost

Common Issues and Solutions

Flickering or Inconsistency

  • Use higher quality source images
  • Try different AI models (some handle consistency better)
  • Reduce motion complexity in prompts
  • Increase generation quality settings

Unwanted Motion

  • Be more specific in your prompts about what should NOT move
  • Use "static background" or "locked camera" descriptors
  • Try different models with better motion control

Low Quality Output

  • Ensure source images are high resolution
  • Increase output quality settings
  • Try upscaling tools before generation
  • Use models optimized for quality over speed
