How to Create AI Videos: A Step-by-Step Guide for Beginners

How to create an AI video

Creating a video with AI can start in two ways: describe a scene in text, or upload an image and animate it. Image-to-video usually gives beginners more control because the composition and character are already defined.

Step 1: Plan one short scene

Do not begin with an entire movie. Describe 5–10 seconds of action: “A woman walks along an evening waterfront, the wind gently moves her hair, and the camera slowly pushes in.”

Step 2: Choose a clean source image

For image-to-video, use a sharp picture without unnecessary details. If a person is in the frame, their face and hands should be clearly visible. For product ads, leave some open space around the object.

Step 3: Describe movement separately

Specify the motion of the subject, surrounding objects, and camera. For example: “The cup remains still, steam rises slowly, and the camera moves smoothly from left to right.”

Step 4: Choose a model

Kling, Veo, Sora, Wan, and Seedance interpret the same scene differently. With Iishka, you can test these tools through one interface and write prompts in Russian.

Step 5: Change one parameter at a time

If the result is not right, do not rewrite everything at once. First adjust the camera movement, then the speed of the action or the character’s appearance. This makes it easier to understand what improved the video.
