    Piclumen AI Tutorial

  • Format: Fast-paced, suitable for TikTok/Reels or a YouTube Intro.

(0:00) The Hook Visual: Show a split screen. Left side: A static image. Right side: The image moving/animated. You: "Stop scrolling. You won't believe this video was generated entirely by AI, for free, in a browser. Today, I'm showing you how to use Piclumen AI to turn your imagination into actual footage."

(0:15) The Setup (Text-to-Image) Visual: Screen recording of you typing a prompt into Piclumen. You: "Step one: We need a base. Piclumen creates incredible images first. I’m selecting the Realism or FLUX model for the best quality. Let's type in: 'A cyberpunk astronaut walking through a neon rainy city, cinematic lighting.' Hit generate."

(0:30) The Magic (Image-to-Video) Visual: Zoom in on the 'Image to Video' button on the screen. You: "Okay, the image is sick, but we need motion. Click the image you like, and look for the 'Image to Video' button. This uses their new AI video models (like Veo or Sora-turbo) to predict movement." Visual: Typing a motion prompt. You: "I'll tell it: 'Camera pans slowly, rain falling, neon lights flickering.' Keep the motion intensity around 4 or 5 to avoid glitches."

(0:50) The Reveal Visual: Full-screen display of the final generated video clips. You: "Wait for it... and boom. Look at that rain. Look at the camera movement. This is perfect for B-roll, music videos, or just storytelling. And it didn't cost a dime."

(1:05) Outro Visual: You on camera. You: "The link is in my bio if you want to try it. Let me know in the comments—what style should I generate next? Anime or Horror? Don't forget to like and follow for more AI tools."

Part 2: Step-by-Step Guide (How to execute the video)

Follow these steps to get the footage you need for the script above.

Step 1: Generate the Image (The Base)

  1. Go to Piclumen.com and log in.

  2. Click "Generate" or "AI Image Generator."

  3. Settings:

    • Model: Select FLUX.1 (Best for realism) or Anime V2 (if you want a cartoon style).

    • Aspect Ratio: Choose 9:16 (if making a TikTok/Short) or 16:9 (for YouTube).

  4. Prompt: Enter a detailed prompt.

    • Example: "A cute robot holding a glowing flower in a dark forest, 8k resolution, magical atmosphere."

  5. Click Generate.

Step 2: Animate It (The Video)

  1. Click on your favorite image from the result batch.

  2. Find the "Image to Video" icon (usually looks like a play button or film strip near the image options).

  3. Prompting Motion: You will see a text box for "Video Prompt."

    • What to type: Describe the movement. E.g., "Robot looks up, flower glows brighter, leaves falling."

  4. Motion Intensity: If available, set this to Medium. (High intensity often makes the video look warped/weird).

  5. Click Generate Video. This may take 2–5 minutes.

Step 3: Download & Edit

  1. Once the video is ready, download the MP4 file.

  2. Import your screen recordings (from Step 1 & 2) and your final video (Step 3) into an editor like CapCut or Premiere.

  3. Add the voiceover using the script above.

Pro Tips for Viral Results:

  • Use "Remix": If you see a community image on Piclumen you like, click "Remix" to see their prompt. Use that as a starting point for your video.

  • Consistency: If you want a character to look the same in different videos, use the "Character Reference" upload feature before generating your base image.

 "Runway Gen-3 vs. Pika vs. Sora vs. Kling: Which AI Video Generator is Best for Filmmakers? (2025 Comparison)" 1. Introduction: The AI Filmmaking Dilemma If you are a filmmaker today, you are likely overwhelmed. Every week, a new AI tool drops, promising to "replace Hollywood." But as editors and directors, we know that isn't true. We don't need tech demos; we need usable footage . The problem isn't generating a cool video; it’s generating a video that matches the specific shot list, lighting, and camera angle you have in your head. In this guide, I cut through the hype. I tested the four biggest contenders—Runway, Pika, Sora, and Kling—specifically from a filmmaking perspective. I’m not just looking at which one is "coolest." I am judging them on consistency (does the character look the same?), control (can I direct the camera?), and resolution (is it sharp enough for a 4K timeline?). Here is the breakdown of which tool deserves a spot in ...
