How to Create an AI Hugging Video

Frankly, there are lots of AI hugging video generators in the market. Yet, not anyone will do. The outputs may full of deformation and distortion. We tested over 10 AI hugging video generators and FlexClip is proved to the best one. Let’s go through the detailed steps.

Step 1. (Skippable) Create a Photo Collage

No matter which AI hugging video generator you go, it will ask you to upload one photo with two people. Under this circumstance, we need FlexClip that can merge two images with full customization. If you already have had a photo with two person, skip this part directly.

Access FlexClip’s editing page. You don’t have to download any launcher, or even sign up for an account in order to merge photos. Feel safe to click the Merge Photos button below.

Switch to the Media section, upload photos from a local folder, a mobile device, or cloud service.

Upload photos to FlexClip

Click on the Add as Layer button below each photo. The two photos will be added as separate layers to the timeline.

In the preview window, drag to reposition, or resize the two photos so that they appear side by side, with the same size.

Merge Two Photos

Click on the timeline, and select Export Frame.

Export the Merged Photo

Step 2. Create Hugging Videos with a Photo with FlexClip

The magic behind AI hugging video is FlexClip’s AI video generator tool. It animates any element on your image based on your textual prompt. On average, your image can be turned into a 5 or 10-second video in less than 1 minute.

Apart from efficiency, FlexClip is devoted to reduce hallucination and distortion. It doesn’t reduce image resolution or add weird elements along with the movement, such as extra arms, fingers.

Now, click on the Create AI Hugging Video below to access FlexClip’s AI Video Generator tool and follow the steps below.

By default, you are in the Text to Video mode. To create a hugging video, Image to Video tool is what you need. Upload the image you just merged.

Step 3. Level Up Your AI Hugging Video

A simple hug won’t cut it. Once you finish generating the AI hugging video, access FlexClip's editing panel to give it a polish.

Trim Video. Even the minimal time duration - 5s is too long for a hug video. Luckily, you can easily get rid of redundant parts by dragging the slider on the timeline.

Add Effects. Bubbles, lights, petals, ink... Search for the effects you love under the Effects panel and add warm, romantic atmosphere into the video.

Add AI Voiceover. Along with the hug, you can add some warm and touching words. Don’t worry if you don’t have a sweet voice. FlexClip’s AI Text-to-Speech tool provides you with 400+ voices to help you say anything you want, in a low and touching tone.

Step 4. Share Your Hugging Video Freely

Most video editors only allow you to download videos to the desktop. At FlexClip, you have more freedom. You are able to save hugging videos to cloud services, generate a link for easier access, or directly post to social media platforms.

Tips to Get Better Hugging Video Outputs

No AI is perfect, especially when it comes to the brand new technology, image to video generation. You are likely to encounter less-satisfying outputs. However, there are tricks you can follow to generate better AI hugging videos.

Be Specific in the Prompt

You might always notice extra hands, fingers, or weird movements while going through the AI hugging videos. At FlexClip, you can eradicate all hallucinations by adding negative prompts like No Extra Hands, No Hallucination.

Carefully Select and Edit Images

As we tested with different photos, we found a rule that works for all AI hugging video generators. While two persons are of the same size and their hands are quite obvious in the photo, the generated hugging video is more satisfying.

If you just find two random images and use them to generate hugging videos, others can instantly tell that your videos are fake because of the different backgrounds.

FlexClip’s background remover can help with that. Access its image background removal tool, AI can easily identify the person and remove the background in just one-click. You can then merge the transparent image into any background.
