Those who wait to buy are winning big again and again.
There's a saying that has been circulating in the AI community:If you learn it late enough, you won't need to learn it at all。
Just like with AI painting before—early on, using SD to generate images, to fix deformed hands you had to study models, LoRA, ControlNet, prompts… And now? You just type a few plain everyday sentences into the input box, and AI can generate natural, good-looking, high-definition images.
Now, AI video has finally bid farewell to the painful period of grinding away at parameters.
No need to learn complex prompts, no need to agonize over which large model to choose, and you don't even need to learn editing operations anymore. We just need to speak the ideas in our heads, and Pexo can generate a finished video.。
You can also refer to popular videos and generate smooth beat-synced transition videos yourself.
Even better,Pexo this video-making capability has been packaged into a Skill, so our Lobster can directly integrate it and be ready at any time to help us make videos!
01. Turn the ideas in your head into videos
Let's first see how to use the web version. We open the Pexo official website and log in with a Gmail email address (international network required).
Official website:https://pexo.ai
Pexo is essentially a general-purpose video Agent. We can assign video production tasks to Pexo just like we would to a real human assistant.。
Enter our ideas in the dialog box. Note that this is not the tedious prompt system from before—environment, characters, composition, art style… none of these descriptions are needed.
For example, if I want to make a sales video for a sun-protection shirt, I can directly enter in the input box:
Use this person to create a UCG video for this sun-protection shirt, with a realistic candid-shot feel, authentic overall outfit coordination and details of the sun-protection shirt's craftsmanship, and Chinese voiceover with synchronized lip movements.
After receiving the task, Pexo does not directly generate the video. Instead, like a professional producer,it first provides me with a production approach: It suggests a video length of 15 seconds, 9:16 vertical screen. Overall, it fits the requirements of a UCG video very well.
If you have other ideas, you can directly tell Pexo to modify them. Currently, Pexo supports creating 16:9、9:16、1:1 three video sizes, and a single video can be up to 1 minute。
After we confirm the production approach, Pexo starts gathering ideas and, combined with the person and product images I provided, generates 2 concept videos for me to choose from.
Let's take a look together:
Concept one is a full-body outfit display of the model outdoors, looking like a casual record, very natural. Character consistency is also maintained very well—even the mole on the model's face is exactly the same.
Concept two is the model indoors, using close-ups to show clothing details.
Honestly, I think both concepts are very good. Only kids make choices—I told Pexo: combine the two.
Pexo immediately understood and quickly formulated a complete 15-second script and production plan, and began the final rendering.
Anyone who has played with AI video knows that we most fear one situation: the video looks great overall, with beautiful lighting, but there are just one or two frames where fingers are distorted or the image goes bizarre, and it looks fake at a glance.
In the past, when encountering this, you could only grit your teeth and regenerate. Not only is it time-consuming and costly, but the same texture and expression are often hard to get again.
Pexo completely solves this pain point. Its video preview interface has a timeline at the bottom,We can freely drag to view the content of any frame, and wherever we're not satisfied, we can annotate directly on that frame.。
For example, for the fabric showcase at the beginning of the video, I want the video to directly show the fabric elasticity of the cuff.
We directly click Batch Feedback in the upper right corner of the preview page, click anywhere on the screen to add a comment, box-select the part that needs to be modified, and directly enter the revision suggestion.
"Show the cuff fabric" "The voiceover has 2 voices, duplicated, remove one of them"
…
Let's take a look at the final generated result together:
To switch shots, add special effects, change the voiceover, add background music... we only need to submit requests in the chat box, and Pexo will coordinate the tools itself and deliver the finished video.
Besides UGC ads, Pexo can try any other video content we can think of, such as model videos, music MVs, anime short dramas, and even animated displays of code files. It can be said that Pexo is an all-around video manager.
I sent Pexo a travel transition video that is very popular on Douyin.
Referring to this travel transition video, use the original music to generate a similar travel transition video for the person in the image, with a different look and outfit for each transition, and the locations in order are: ordinary street scene, Nan'ao Island, Zhangjiajie, Jiuzhaigou, Hulunbuir Grassland, the Forbidden City, rapeseed flower sea, Xitang Ancient Town.
Pexo can understand the rhythm of the original music, directly generate smooth transitions, and automatically generate matching outfits according to the scene changes:
Generated means finished, and we don't need to dub or edit again.
02. Teach the lobster to make videos
If you find it too troublesome to open the web page every time, we can directly empower our lobster with Pexo's capabilities, and the operation is very simple.
We download Pexo's Skill on ClawHub.
Address:https://clawhub.ai/rainer-liao/pexoai-agent
Send the downloaded Skill to the lobster for automatic installation.
Go back to the upper right corner of the Pexo official website page and create an API Key.
Send the API Key to the lobster, and it's done.
Now our lobster has the ability to generate videos. Let's try asking it to generate a 2D anime short drama:
Generate a 2D anime short drama video, and the plot is: the female protagonist is named Liu Ruyan, 50 years old, and has just ended decades of her working career. Her colleagues held a retirement ceremony for her, and everyone smiled and congratulated her that she could finally enjoy life well. In the evening, Liu Ruyan sits alone on the bus home, looking tired and a little dazed. She slowly closes her eyes and falls into a deep sleep. When the bus arrives at the station, she wakes up from a broadcast sound, but suddenly notices that the gazes around her are a little unusual. She looks down and sees that her hands, originally covered with traces of time, have become fair and slender. She hurriedly looks at the bus window glass, and the reflection of herself has unexpectedly turned back into the appearance of an 18-year-old.
We instruct the lobster to generate the video,The lobster will create a new project in the Pexo backend, and we can see the complete thinking process and creation process。
The lobster will also return the production ideas, storyboard script, and style references provided by Pexo to the dialog box for us to choose and confirm.
The final generated video is like this:
The development of the whole story is very smooth, and the switching of each shot and the dubbing are all designed very well. Compared with doing it ourselves, it is both high-quality and saves time.
03. Some sharing
AI tools are rapidly moving from specialization to universalization.
In the past, to make good-looking AI videos, we had to study prompt templates. But now, AI has finally learned to proactively understand our natural language.
AI tools are no longer a dashboard that we need to master various parameters to use, but have become a professional production team that we can communicate with at any time and that has thinking capabilities.
In this frenzy of technological advancement, those who waited really won big. Because the threshold for creation has been infinitely leveled, the future competition is no longer about who masters more tools or whose prompts are written more smoothly, but about who has better aesthetics, who has bigger ideas, and who can tell a more touching story. The era of super individuals has just begun.
