Turn Photo Into Hugging Video Using FREE AI Tool - Clipfly AI Tutorial

In this video we will be seeing how to use a free AI tool called Clipfly AI to turn a photo of two people into a video, where they hug each other. We will also be seeing how to do this with a paid app. We will also be using some other free AI apps to solve issues like upscaling the video and swapping faces in the video to make the final output more realistic. Here’s the video:

Video Summary

This video by Kush Sharma from Creative Pad Media demonstrates how to use free AI tools to create the popular “AI Hug” video effect from a single photograph.

Key Tools and Workflow:

Clipfly AI (Primary Tool): The creator recommends Clipfly.ai because it offers a functional free tier (10 credits upon signup) that allows for one free video generation [00:46].
- Setup: Use a single image with both subjects side-by-side for the best results [02:05].
- Generation: Select the “AI Hug Generator,” upload your image, and choose the “hug” motion [01:40, 03:30].
Vmake AI (Video Upscaling): AI-generated videos often have low resolution. Vmake.ai is used to upscale the 3-second Clipfly video for free, providing a sharper, higher-quality result [07:00].
SwapFace AI (Face Correction): If the AI distorts the subjects’ faces (a common issue in longer videos), use Swapface.ai to replace them with original, cropped photos of the subjects. This tool is unique because it can swap multiple faces in a single video [08:10, 08:52].

Comparison and Tips:

Paid vs. Free: The video compares Clipfly (free) with Pincel AI (paid). Surprisingly, the free tool produced more authentic faces in this test, although the paid tool offered longer video lengths [05:49, 06:08].
Image Dimensions: When using separate images for two people, ensure they have the same aspect ratio and dimensions before processing to avoid errors [03:09].
