Create beautifully animated videos in seconds. See how ClipsReel AI uses the power of OpenAI to convert a video script or any URL to a profitable animated video for any niche.

To create an animated video in ClipsReel AI, follow these steps:

1. Sign in to ClipsReel then scroll down on the main website and click on one of the following three options:
   
   Copy & Paste Your Content
   Blog Post or Articles
   E-Commerce Detail Page
   
   Use the first option if you are creating a video from scratch. The second and third options will prompt you for the URL of your blog or e-commerce site and scan them for content to use for the video.
   
   
   
   Alternatively, you can open the Projects tab and click Create New.
   
   
   This will pop-up a screen with the same three choices for creating your video:
   
   
   If you select option 2 or 3, you will be prompted to provide the website's URL and then text content and media will be downloaded to generate a video script for you. Alternatively, you can select option 1 and enter all details manually.
   
   
2. We'll explore the more detailed option: Copy & Paste Your Content.
   
   The form needs to be filled in with the following information:
   
   Project Name: Give your project any name you want.
   Country: Choose the country that most closely matches your target audience.
   Language: Select the language of your target audience.
   Style: Choose any style from the drop-down list.
   
   Then enter a text prompt detailing the content or theme of the video you want created in the text field. Include any additional information or facts that that you want highlighted in the video. The AI will use the information you provide to write a video script for you.
   
   
   Pro Tip:  You can use other AI tools to generate a video script or informational text on the given topic. Creaite and GPTDash are a couple examples of AI tools available from WickedApps.com that can do this work for you!
   
   
3. Steps 3 and 4 are optional. You can upload your own media (video clips and images) to be used by the AI when it creates your video story board. To add media, click on Upload Media.
   
   
   
4. Select the media file(s) you want included in the slides, such as images and video clips, and click Open.
   
   Pro Tip: You can select multiple files by holding down the Ctrl key as you click on the file names.
   
   
   
5. Any uploaded media will be displayed as thumbnails. Click Next to continue.
   
   
   
6. Two video dimensions (also called aspect ratios) are available: 9:16 or 16:9.
   
   The most common aspect ratio is 16:9. This is the standard widescreen ratio that can be played by all computers, televisions, mobile devices (horizontally), and video players. This is also the standard aspect ratio for YouTube,.
   
   9:16 is a vertical video commonly used on mobile phones and in Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat stories. TikTok videos are often in the 9:16 format as well to fit a standard smartphone screen held vertically.
   
   Click Next after selecting your preferred dimension / aspect ratio.
   
   
   
7. Choose from one of the built-in video templates and click Next.
   
   
   
   
8. Steps 8-10 are optional. The Talking Head feature allows you to put your face, or any face, on top of the video. The AI will generate head and lip movements to match the spoken words. The Talking Head can be added to any or all of the video slides. If you want to use the talking head feature, enable it by clicking on the enable button.
   
   
   
9. An image needs to be uploaded for the talking head. In order for it to work properly, please follow these recommendations:
   
   Use a single face in the frame
   Opt for a close-up shot of your full face.
   Position your face in the top half of the frame.
   Ensure the image is in HD quality.
   Choose a solid, clean background.
   Make sure the lighting is bright and even.
   Make sure the face is of a human being.
   
   Click Upload Image to continue.
   
   
   
10. Select your talking head image and click Open.
    
    
    
11. Put a check next to Include head movement if you want the talking head to display head movements, and enter a coverage percentage. By default, the talking head will appear on approximately 10% of the video slides created. Click Next to continue.
