Best AI Tools for Stunning Video Effects
Quick links to the top AI video effect tools mentioned in this guide.
1
Generate AI Images in Midjourney
- Start with Midjourney as your primary AI that creates images - best quality and allows us to expand the images (necessary for this workflow)
- Upload a reference and style image to guide your aesthetic direction
- This is the prompt I used together with the reference and style images:
- A cinematic portrait of a young woman with long wet red hair and lots of freckles, standing in a lush green forest under the rain, wearing a dark shirt and suspenders, slightly top-down angle, soft natural light, 35mm film look, shallow depth of field, moody atmosphere, her eyes gently closed, serene expression
- Pro tip: Use Cosmos or Freepik to source high-quality reference and style images that align with your project goals

Create Multiple Zoom Levels for Seamless Transitions
- After generating your initial image, go to the settings and select the 1.5x zoom feature.
- This will expand the image borders, allowing you to export a new, progressively zoomed-out version each time.
- Repeat this process at least 9 times to achieve a strong zoom-out effect.
- By the end, you’ll have 9 different images, each one increasingly zoomed out from the original.

ANimate AI Video with Hailuo
- Import your base image into Hailuo for create AI video
- Use ChatGPT again to create your prompt, here's the ChatGPT prompt I used to generate the Hailuo video prompt:
- Generate a concise Hailuo video prompt where the girl in this image opens her eyes, smiles at the camera, runs her hand through her hair, and closes the eyes again at the end, while it's raining down
- Select zoom in or zoom out camera movements, these work really well for this effect

- That's it, you’re done!
