RenderNet AI, a platform known for creating realistic AI images and virtual influencers, has introduced a new feature called “Video Anyone.” This feature allows users to transform static images into animated videos with impressive character consistency in every frame.

AI video generation has seen a huge improvement in the last couple of months with the release of video models like Runway Gen-3, Kling AI 1.5, Meta’s Movie Gen, and Pika 1.5. Today, RenderNet is joining the fray with its new Video Anyone feature.

In this article, we’ll get into what “Video Anyone” brings to the table, how to use it, and evaluate whether the generated videos are on par with or even surpass competitors.

Let’s get started.

What is RenderNet?

RenderNet is an AI-powered platform that specializes in the creation of AI-generated influencers and virtual characters. It provides users with tools to customize poses, generate videos, and even create narrated content.

RenderNet’s advanced features, such as FaceLock, ControlNet, and multi-model generations, distinguish it by enabling the creation of consistent characters and highly customized images.

What is Video Anyone?

Video Anyone is RenderNet’s latest feature that transforms static images into high-quality videos. The tool allows users to upload an image, and from that image, a 5-second, 24-frames-per-second video clip is generated.

The key feature here is character consistency, meaning the subject’s appearance remains uniform throughout the entire video — a critical factor for creators aiming to maintain a cohesive look across multiple frames.

How to Try Video Anyone on RenderNet?

Using “Video Anyone” on RenderNet is simple and intuitive. As soon as you visit the RenderNet homepage, you’ll see the option to try out the new feature.

When you click on the Try Video Anyone button, a modal menu will show up where you upload your source image and describe the video.

  • Source image: This dictates the character in the video, serves as the first frame, and guides the overall concept, shaping the entire creative direction of the video. The source image should include only one person, and their face must be clearly visible.
  • Video prompt: A prompt is a set of instructions or a description you give that guides the output video.

You can use either real photos or images generated on RenderNet as the source image.

Another way to access the Video Anyone feature is through the text-to-image dashboard under the Applications menu.

These example illustrates just how versatile “Video Anyone” can be. However, users should note that the current version of the tool only generates 5-second clips, and more complex movements may result in minor inconsistencies in certain cases.

Final Thoughts

RenderNet’s new “Video Anyone” feature is an exciting addition for anyone creating AI videos, especially for those already using the platform to make virtual characters.

With recent improvements in AI video models, this feature was expected, and it doesn’t disappoint. The consistency it offers in character appearance across frames is already impressive, but there’s still room to get better.

Since this is just the first version, we can expect more tools to be added soon, like extending video length, improving video quality, and video-to-video features. Feel free to check out this new feature and let me know what you think in the comments!
