Gran introducción para iniciar con video AI. La propuesta es crear un mockumentary de 30 segundos. Toca muy rápido desde el guión, el desarrollo del storyboard, la creación de las imágenes, crear las secuencias de videos, generación de música para el mockumentary, hasta el audio dubbing en diferentes plataformas. Me encantaría una segunda o tercera parte profundizando cada una de las etapas. Sin dudas, te da unas bases para empezar. Les recomiendo grok imagine para la generación de video.

Wan Video is an open source AI model that lets you generate and animate videos from images, text, or reference videos, making it easier to create innovative, automated audiovisual content.
This course is aimed at people with intermediate knowledge of audiovisual production and editing, though key concepts are explained for those with basic experience in AI or video editing.
To run Wan Video locally, a Nvidia GPU with at least 24 GB of VRAM and CUDA-compatible systems are recommended; editors like Premiere and platforms like ComfyUI are also used.
You’ll learn to install and use models like Wan Video, generate videos from images, text, and video, sync audio and lip movements, edit and optimize videos, create storyboards and animatics, and explore open source alternatives.
With Wan Video, you can analyze the motion in a reference video and apply it to a still image, creating a realistic animation of the character or element in the picture.
Besides Wan Video, there are models like Runway’s Act 2 and various ComfyUI integrations, each with unique features and options for local or cloud use.
Using Wan Video in the cloud offers easy access without hardware requirements but with limited credits; running it locally gives you full control and unlimited use if you have the right hardware.
