00:00 Every AI video tool has the same problem. You type a paragraph, cross your fingers, and hope it understood you. You can't show it what you mean. You can't hand it your character, your location, your lighting, your music, and say, "Make it like this." Until now. I just handed an AI 50 references in a single generation. 30 images, 10 video clips, 10 audio files, my whole cast, my location, my look, my track, and this is what came back.
00:33 30 seconds, one generation, every face held, every voice held. Cedense 2.5 is here. And this is the first time it feels like briefing a crew instead of rolling dice. I'll show you exactly how it works live and how to get 33 days of unlimited access. And I will show you how to make 3D cartoon videos like this. First, real quick, if you're new here, welcome to Manu AGI.
00:58 I'm Manu and on this channel, I show you the best AI tools and how to use them in simple steps anyone can follow. If that sounds helpful, hit subscribe. Okay, let's make a AI animation story. So this is a Higsfield AI all-in-one AI powerful platform. Access the world's top AI models, tools, and capabilities all in one place designed to help you create, innovate, and get more done.
01:23 And Cedence 2.5 upgrades three things and everything follows from them. First, how much you can hand it. Up to 50 references in one generation. 30 images, 10 video clips, 10 audio files. And there are new kinds of references that matter more than the number. Motion references. Show it footage of the movement you want instead of writing a paragraph about it.
01:48 Creative references. Show it the mood and look and it holds that direction across the whole video. And clay render references. Hand it a plain gray 3D mockup and it reads your camera path where people stand, how they move, even your lighting direction, then builds the real scene on top of it. Hello. >> Second, how long the story runs. Up to 30 seconds in one pass.
02:33 Double 2.0. And it's a scene, not one long moment. Multiple shots can live inside it. And you can extend it, adding the next shot onto a video you already made with characters and pacing carrying over. Third, multicar consistency. >> Birthday buddy. I did all of this alone. >> In group scenes, everyone keeps their own face and their own voice. That's exactly where AI video normally falls apart.
03:14 So, let's test it. I'm going to load it up and see how much of my direction actually survives. First, go to chat GPT or Claude to create your story idea prompt. Before creating your story, we first need a story idea. If you already have a story idea, that is perfect. But if you do not have one yet, you can use this prompt to generate new ideas for your story.
03:36 For example, I want to create a new 3D animation story. So, I will enter this prompt. I want to create a 3D short animation story. Give me five creative and engaging story ideas for my story. Now, press enter. In a few seconds, Chat GPT will create five original and 3D cartoon short animation story ideas. For example, the moon's missing star, the robot who wanted to dream, the dragon who was afraid of fire, and two more story ideas.
04:06 You can choose any story idea you like. If you do not like the ideas, you can generate more ideas. Again, after selecting your story idea, copy my master prompt for Cedense 2.5. This master prompt is also available in the video description. So, do not worry. Just copy the complete master prompt. Now go back to chat GPT and paste it into a new chat. At the top of this prompt, you will see a section for the story title.
04:36 This is where you need to enter your selected story title. For this video, I am choosing this story idea, The Little Clock Maker. So, I will copy this title and paste it into the story title section. Do not change anything else in the master prompt. Just add your story title and press enter. In a few seconds, chat GPT will create your complete story video prompt for Cance 2.5.
05:02 Now, our master video prompt is ready. But I need a my own character for this video right now. So, if you'd like to include your own character, you can. Or I want to generate a character based on my video's theme. So, I'll simply type it in here. Create my character prompts for the little clock maker story. So, we create my each character separate. Now, chat GPT will create a full prompt for your character based on your video script, including all the details of the character, all the panels, the way the character is
05:31 worn, and everything else. Now, you just need to copy this prompt and simply go on Higsfield AI. On Higsfield, you will see a dashboard like this. From the top menu, go to the image tab and choose the GPT image 2 model. Now, for image creation, you will see a dashboard like this. If you have any reference images, you can upload them here. You can upload up to 16 images.
05:56 But for this example, we do not have any reference images, so we will only use our prompt. We already copied our character master prompt. So now we simply paste it here. Next, choose your model. We already selected GPT1 mage 2, but if it is not selected on your side, then choose it here. After that, choose the image quality as high. Next, choose the image resolution.
06:20 It supports up to 4K. So, for this image, I will select 4K. Now, choose the image aspect ratio. By default, it is set to auto. But for this image, I want 16 to9. So, I will select the 16-9 aspect ratio. Next, choose how many images you want to generate. For example, I want two images. So, I select two. After selecting everything, I click on the generate button.
06:46 And after a few seconds, my two images are ready. You can see them here. The storyboard character includes the story title, the little clock maker, along with 11 image panels. And you can see all the character details along with other important elements and prop details. Once you are satisfied with your story character image, just click on the download button to save it.
07:09 Or if you want to create it again, simply click on the recreate button. So we download this image. Now after downloading and preparing your story character image, the next step is to turn this image into a video according to our master video prompt using Cedense 2.5. For this imagetovideo process, we need a full detailed prompt for Cedense. So now we go back to chat GPT.
07:34 And as you can see here, we simply copy Cedence 2.5, the little clockmaker story master prompt, and go back to Higsfield AI. Here, go to the video section and select the seedance 2.5 model. You will see a dashboard like this. First, upload your storyboard character image. You can upload it using the upload media button. Up to 50 references in one generation, 30 images, 10 video clips, 10 audio files.
08:04 Also, one useful feature in Higsfield AI is the check eligibility option. It checks whether your image is eligible to use on the platform. After a few seconds, my image is approved. So, I select it. Next, paste your seedance 2.5 video prompt here. Next, choose your model. We already selected seedance 2.5, but if it is not selected on your side, choose it here.
08:29 Now, choose your video duration. The default duration is 8 seconds, but for this video, I need a longer result, so I select 30 seconds. Next, choose the video aspect ratio. For this example, I select 16-9. Then, choose your video resolution, 1,080p or 720p. Here, I'm using Cance 2.5 unlimited. You can also access it, which is I already explained in this video.
08:57 After selecting everything, click on the generate button and the video generation process will begin. Before viewing or downloading the result, it may ask for rights verification. I own rights to this content only if you truly own the content or have permission to use it. Now my final result is ready. Let's watch the result. We have to fix it. Talk.
09:31 I can't fix it. Tick, tick, tick. Tomorrow we fix that. >> It looks really amazing. Higsfield created the full video. Honest verdict. The 30-second one take gets the headlines. But the real story is control. 50 references going in, secondby-second editing coming out, and multi character scenes that actually hold. For the first time, you're not fixing AI video, you're directing it.
10:01 And right now you can get 33 days of unlimited cedence on Higsfield, which is exactly what a model like this needs because you get good by volume. Brief it, generate, adjust, go again. Links in the description. Quick tip for the best experience. Use Higsfield on desktop. That's where everything we just did runs best.
