Your questions, answered
To convert an image to video using AI, simply upload a photo or graphic and the machine learning model will take care of the rest. AI analyzes the image and/or text entered by users to create new animated content. It scans millions of videos across the internet along with the image and text associated with them.
Then, with the help of motion modeling algorithms and diffusion networks, AI predicts the elements’ natural motion and creates a moving sequence. AI video generation helps craft realistic, professional-quality videos without the need for expensive equipment or video editing skills.
