I. Tools

Let's use essential tools, most of which are free, that leverage artificial intelligence to create video animations:

- ChatGPT

- Eleven labs

- Adobe Express

- Capcut

Combined with your imagination, these four AI tools will enable you to create successful videos. Let's delve into the details, and I'll show you the steps to achieve the final product.
 

II. Building Your First Animated Video

This is just a basic example to give you the means to start. Through practice, you'll be able to improve and create more sophisticated and refined videos for your target audience.

The idea of the video is to create a narrative for a child to help them fall asleep.

1-ChatGPT

- Generate text on ChatGPT

- Write, for example, "Generate a text or a story to put a child to sleep."

Here's the result I obtained by doing this:

Once upon a time, in a magical forest nestled between the whispering leaves of ancient trees, there lived a little bunny named Luna. Luna was a curious and adventurous bunny but felt very sleepy tonight.

As the golden sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky in hues of pink and purple, Luna snuggled into her soft, cozy burrow. The forest around her began quieting down, and the stars above twinkled like diamonds.

Luna's best friend, a wise old owl named Oliver, perched on a branch just outside her burrow. Oliver had seen many nights in the forest and knew how to help Luna fall asleep. He began to tell Luna a soothing bedtime story.

"Once upon a time," Oliver hooted softly, "there was a magical land far, far away where dreams came to life. In this land, friendly dragons painted the sky with colors only found in dreams. These dragons loved to dance among the clouds, creating beautiful patterns that everyone in the land admired."

Luna listened intently, her eyes growing heavy with each word Oliver spoke. She imagined the colorful dragons soaring high above, their wings leaving trails of shimmering stardust behind them.

"Every night," Oliver continued, "the moonlit fairies would come out to play. They danced on the flower petals and sang songs that filled the night with enchanting melodies. The soft glow of their wings illuminated the land, creating a gentle, calming light that helped everyone in the magical land have sweet dreams."

Luna's breathing became slow and steady as she imagined herself in this magical land, surrounded by friendly dragons and Moonlite fairies. Oliver's soothing voice wrapped around her like a warm blanket, and she drifted asleep.

"And so," Oliver concluded, his hoots becoming softer and softer, "dreams were always filled with happiness and wonder in this magical land. Just like the dreams you will have tonight, my dear Luna. Sleep tight and have the sweetest dreams."

With that, Luna closed her eyes, her imagination filled with visions of colorful dragons and Moonlite fairies. She sighed contentedly and snuggled deeper into her burrow, falling into a peaceful sleep, guided by the gentle magic of the bedtime story.

And in the quiet of the night, the magical forest stood still, cradling Luna in its comforting embrace as she journeyed into a world of dreams, guided by the warmth of friendship and the power of imagination.

Of course, adjust the language accordingly, for example, "Generate a text or a story to put a child to sleep in French."

Now, it's time to move on to our second AI tool.

Note: This element is like the background of your animation. Remember that I advised you to download the video with the green background. Choose a background related to the video or as you see fit.

- Retrieve the animation video. Then, it's a matter of removing the green background around the video and keeping only the character.

- Click on the video; a taskbar should appear. Click on intelligent tools, then cropping. Automatically, this will keep only your character and remove the green background.

Note: Lengthen the background video so that it covers the entire duration of the video.

Bonus: Adding subtitles

Go to the left taskbar, click on captions, and then on automatic subtitles. Choose the language. The subtitles should appear; click on them to change their appearance. In the presets on the right, watch the video now. If everything is fine, click share, download, and export it to your YouTube channel.
