AI at Meta: Generate and animate images with Meta AI
AI at MetaDemo summary
The creator demonstrates navigating to the 'Create' menu in Meta AI to adjust resolution and aesthetic sliders before generating images and using the 'Animate' or 'Custom Animate' features to create video clips.
Step-by-step
- Navigate to the left menu in Meta AI and click 'Create'
- Select your desired resolution (Horizontal, Vertical, or Square)
- Adjust the aesthetic sliders for Variety, Weirdness, and Stylization
- Type a visual prompt and generate images
- Select your preferred image from the four generated options
- Click 'Animate' for automatic movement or 'Custom Animate' to guide the motion
- Click 'Extend' on the generated video to increase its duration
- Download the final video clip
Options
- Switch between image or video mode
- Use 'Restyle' to apply looks like 3D or anime to images or finished clips
- Hit 'Reset' to return aesthetic sliders to default values
- Regenerate images multiple times for free
Watch out for
- Meta's initial video clips are short, typically around 5 seconds
- Vertical resolution must be selected from the beginning to avoid manual cropping later
Tips
- Leave the mode on 'Image' at the start to lock in the exact frame before animating
- Set Variety to 50, Weirdness to 0, and Stylization to 200 for detailed, clean results
- Test both 'Animate' and 'Custom Animate' on the same image to compare control levels
- Generate several short clips and chain them in an editor rather than one ultra-long shot for better dynamics
Highlights
“With this one workflow, you can force Meta to give you the exact frame you want before you animate anything.”
