Just released! With Lyvia's new video model, now you can bring your photos to life. It's good for personal portrait, your favorite anime character, or even a hand-drawn sketch.

Using the new Lyvia model, Lyvia Video, you can do:

Text to video: You can type prompt to generate videos.
Image to video: Transform static images into a nice AI-generated videos. You can control how the video moves by typing your prompt.

Image to video example

prompt: girl shooting a gun

Steps

Step 1. In Models/Style, choose Lyvia Video.

Step 2. In Initial Image option, upload any image you want to animate—your selfie, an old family photo, an anime screenshot, or even a doodle.

Step 3. In Prompt box, describe what you want to happen in the video. Want your anime character to blink and smile? Want to see your old photo turn into a talking avatar? Just type it in!

Step 4. Hit the Generate button. Generating video is a longer process than generating images, so you can leave it and check back later!

Notes

Usually text prompt to video takes about 3 minutes, while image and prompt to video takes about 5 minutes. I'm working to make this process faster.

Also, like other AI things, you probably won't get good results just generating one video. Try generating 2-4 videos and pick the best one for you!

Costs

Generating videos costs 10 credits for regular users, and 5 credits for Lyvia Pro users. It is not possible to make unlimited video generation due to high computing power requirements and the time needed to generate it, but with $19.99 to buy 2500 credits, the cost is about $0.079 per video.
