Créer des animations avec ReMotion et ChatGPT (Full Transcript)

[00:00:00] Speaker 1: In this video, I'll show you how to create professional animations and motion graphics using ReMotion and ChatGBT. We'll create an animated video introduction, add motion graphics to existing footage, like this lower third right down here, and even turn data into animated charts. And here's the best part. ReMotion is free for individuals and small teams, and with ChatGBT, you can create all of this without writing a single line of code yourself. I'm Kevin, and let's dive in. First, open the ChatGBT app. If you don't already have it installed, you can download it from the website right down here. Next, in the top left, open Codex. This is ChatGBT's coding agent. Unlike a regular ChatGBT conversation, Codex can create files, write code, and run projects directly on your computer. We'll need a folder on our computer where Codex can create our ReMotion project. Over on the left-hand side, click on the plus icon next to Projects. I'll call this KevinCookieCompanyAnimations. Then, click on Create. Then, click on Trust. Next, we need ReMotion. It's a framework for creating videos using code. But don't worry, we don't need to write any of the code ourselves. Codex will handle all of that for us. On the left, click Plugins, and then search for ReMotion and install the plugin. This gives Codex the tools and instructions it needs to work with ReMotion. And with that, we're ready to create our very first animation. Let's start a new chat in our project. Over on the left-hand side, you'll see your new project, and then you can click on this icon. I want to create a short animated introduction for my small business, the Kevin Cookie Company. Right down below in the prompt field, I'll paste in the following. Feel free to pause if you'd like to read it. Of course, you can also use ChatGBT to help write a prompt for your own project. I mean, how do you think I came up with this one? In my prompt, I make reference to ReMotion. Let's delete that, and instead I'll type in the at symbol, and then I'll type in ReMotion and select it right here. This tells Codex to use ReMotion when creating our animation. Now, right down here, I can also choose which AI model I'd like to use. Now, currently, it's set to 6.1 sole medium, which I think offers a good balance of speed and reasoning for creating our animations. Now, right over here, let's click on Send. Codex will now set up our ReMotion project, write the code, and create the animation. And look at that. In just over four minutes, Codex has created our very first animation. Over here on the right-hand side, we have what's called ReMotion Studio, and this is where we can preview the video. In the top right-hand corner, let's switch into full screen mode. Right down below, let's play the animation. That looks pretty good. We've got animated text, we have cookie graphics, and we have some pretty smooth transitions. Now, right down here, you'll notice that we have a timeline where we can play, pause, and we could also scrub through the animation here by moving the playhead. And if I'd like to change anything, right down below, I could ask Codex. Now, let's make this a little bit more interesting. I'm going to ask Codex to have a giant cookie drop onto the screen. Maybe we'll add a little bit of screen shake, and then we'll reveal the company name. Now that I've entered the prompt, right here, let's send that. That took about two minutes to revise the video. Right over here, let's play it back. Ooh, look at that big cookie and all those crumbs. Oh, that looks beautiful. And remember, we did all of that with just a simple prompt. Once you're happy with your animation, to export it, up on top, click on the Composition menu, and right here, you'll see the option to Render. I'll click on that, and currently, it's set to H.264. This will give us an MP4 file. I'm good with all the other settings, and right up above, you can click on Render. And there we go. The first animation is ready to use. And over here, I can click on this icon, and that'll open the video file on my computer. Now, you might be wondering how much of your chat GPT usage this consumes. In my case, creating the animation and making all of these different changes used less than 1% of my allocation. Of course, your usage will vary depending on the complexity of your project, and also the model that you choose. Next, let's look at how to create motion graphics that we can add to existing videos, kind of like this lower third that just appeared on the screen. Back in Codex, let's start a new chat in the same project. I'll come over here and click on this icon. Now, this time, I'm going to ask it to create an animated lower third with my name and title. I'll type this in. Feel free to pause if you'd like to read it. Now, I'll also specify that the background should be transparent, so that way we can place it on top of existing footage. Over here, let's send that off and see what Codex creates. That took about two and a half minutes, and up above, let's play it back. Ooh, there we have the lower third animate in, and in a moment, it should animate out. Very nice. Now, you'll notice that we have this checkered background. That lets me know that it's transparent. To access the file, right up on top, I could right-click over here, and I could open in Explorer, and then I could take this file, and I can import that into Adobe Premiere or DaVinci Resolve or whatever your editing software happens to be. If you didn't get a ProRes file within the chat, right down below, you can always ask for one, or right over here, you could open up full screen mode in ReMotion Studio, go to the composition menu, go to render, and over here, make sure to select ProRes and 4444, and that way, you'll get a transparent background that you can use in your video editing software. Now, we can also make changes directly in ReMotion Studio. For example, over on the right-hand side, we could customize things like the name, the subtitle, and here we even have the colors. Let's change the name to Cookie Monster. Much more appropriate. And just like that, we've updated our animation without having to go back and prompt Codex. Now, let's bring it into DaVinci Resolve. First, I'll drag the clip into my media pool, and then I'll take that clip and drag it onto the video track above the existing footage. Now, let's play it back. Look at that. It appears right on top of our video, and because we exported it with a transparent background, everything blends together perfectly. Next, let's see how we can use ReMotion to turn data into animated charts. I'll use some monthly sales data from the Kevin Cookie Company. Back here in Codex, over on the left-hand side, let's start another new chat in the same project. This time, I'll ask it to create an animated bar chart showing our sales growing over six months. Then, right over here, let's send that and see what Codex creates. That took a little under two minutes. Right up on top, let's go full screen and let's play it back. Nice. Looks like it's turned our sales data into a nice animated chart. Just like with the other animations, right up on top, we can go to composition, and here we can render it, and then export it as an MP4. We could use that in a presentation, maybe a social media post, or just a video. Over on the left-hand side, if I open up the sidebar, here we can see all the different compositions that we've worked on. Here, you can jump between any one of them and go back and review the project or go up and render it. These are just a few of the things that you can create with ReMotion. You can also use it to make animated captions, product demos, social media videos, and a whole lot more. With ChatGBT handling the coding, it's easier than ever to get started.
