- AI enthusiasts who want to explore the latest video generation tools in a hands-on, practical workflow
What You Will Build
You’ll build a short AI-generated commercial from a two-scene script, four generated key frames, and two AI-generated video clips that are spliced into a final ad.
- A 20-second, two-scene commercial script
- Start and end frame prompts for each scene
- Four generated images to use as scene frames
- Two generated video clips
- A spliced commercial edited in CapCut or with ffmpeg
What You Need
- Higgsfield.ai basic plan or higher ($9+)
- CapCut desktop app (free)
- A TV commercial idea
- Gemini for scripting and frame prompt generation
- Optional: custom voiceover, sound effects, or music ideas
Going Further
- After generating your clips, download them from Higgsfield, splice them together, and improve the audio. For more polish, mute the generated clips and add sound effects, music, or voiceover using CapCut, Suno, or ElevenLabs.
Use photography terms to describe the camera and angles of your frames, such as anamorphic lens, macro lens, 14mm wide angle, hero shot, or Dutch angle.
