How Do I Use AI-Generated Images in my Video?

AI-generated images can significantly enhance the visual appeal of your videos by adding creative and unique elements that are difficult to achieve with standard media. With CopyCopter, integrating AI-generated images into your videos is simple and streamlined. This guide will take you through how to generate, select, and use these images effectively in your video projects.

1. Generating AI-Generated Images

To create AI-generated images within CopyCopter:

• Step 1: Access the AI Image Generation Tool
  • In your CopyCopter video project, navigate to the AI Prompt New tab. This is where you can create images by providing text prompts to the AI.
• Step 2: Input Your Prompt
  • Describe the image you want the AI to generate. For example, if you want an image of a tranquil forest at sunset, type something like “a serene forest with the sun setting behind the trees.”
• Step 3: Select an AI Model
  • CopyCopter offers multiple AI models like Flux, Stable Diffusion, CopyCopter Original, and more. Each model has its own unique style and output characteristics. You can switch between models at any time to get the desired style and quality.
• Step 4: Generate the Image
  • Click Generate New (1 credit) to create the image. Each generation costs one credit. Once generated, the image will be stored in your project’s media library.

Note: The aspect ratio for your video is set at the beginning of your project. Any images generated will automatically fit the aspect ratio you selected for the entire video, so there’s no need to specify it in your prompt.

2. Using AI-Generated Images in Your Video

Once your images are generated, here’s how to incorporate them into your video:

• Step 1: Add Images to the Timeline
  • To add an AI-generated image to your video, simply generate it using our “Generate” tool. Position it where you want it to appear in the sequence.
• Step 2: Adjusting Image Placement
  • While you can’t manually drag images from your computer into the project, you can upload your own media using the Upload File tab. Once an image is placed in the timeline, it’s locked in position. However, you can still adjust its order by moving it along the timeline.
• Step 3: Timing and Duration
  • The timing and duration of images are initially set when you add them to the timeline. If you need to adjust these settings after placement, you’ll need to regenerate captions and voiceover to synchronize everything correctly.

3. Customizing AI-Generated Images

Currently, customization options within CopyCopter are limited:

• Basic Edits: As of now, CopyCopter does not support basic image edits like cropping, resizing, or color adjustments. However, these features are planned for future updates.
• Motion Effects: You can add motion effects to your AI-generated images using the Add Motion feature. This option is available when editing your video and costs additional credits depending on the intensity and quality of the motion effect.

4. Finalizing Your Video

Once your images are in place:

• Preview Your Video: Watch through your video to ensure that the AI-generated images integrate smoothly with other elements like voiceovers and captions.
• Export Your Video: Once satisfied, export your video. The AI-generated images will be embedded into the final product, ready for sharing across your desired platforms.

Conclusion

Using AI-generated images in your videos with CopyCopter is an easy and effective way to enhance your content’s visual appeal. Although some customization features are currently limited, the platform’s ability to generate high-quality images tailored to your needs makes it a powerful tool in video creation. As CopyCopter continues to evolve, expect more features that will allow for greater flexibility and creativity in how you use AI-generated content in your videos.
