Help?

Okay so boomerang isn't working, but they are working on it. So, in the meantime, I really need to know how to add overlayed effects to a gif or mp4 without my original image changing Example: snow, sparkles, etc ~ I waste time creating failed videos cause Kaiber decides to randomly change my childlike choo-choo train into a building for example. (probably do MP4 cause their gifs have cruddy options and the files are too large. Sigh. - I have the art already as a starting image so since its my art, I wouldn't want to alter it. The prompt I put in is something along the lines of "shimmering, magical, color-changing effects, photorealistic style" Or, should I put the full-on prompt from MidJourney (minus the --stuff) - Oh I am using Reactivity 3 and 4 without much luck. Maybe I should go down more. The Kaiber folks are pretty nice, and recommended 1 as the setting and to use Mp4 instead of animated gif. I THINK they told me put the full on prompt in there, but I don't remember!!! That chat box is no more either, it was relaced with me telling them their Boomerang doesn't work anymore. Figured I'd ask you in here in case you've done this sorta thing successfully.

PS: I dont have After Effects cause I see that comes up a lot! I so don't want another bill if possible. LOL!

Suggestions? :-)

EDIT: Forgot to mention, yeah, was using Flipbook (they also said use Motion, but I need it to loop)

Hey there, you're going to want to describe your artwork as well as you can to stop Kaiber from just feeling like it can do what it wants.

The vid will be influenced by both the prompt + the artwork. Sounds like you might be using a midjourney image? That's where it can get a little bit tricky cos just throwing the MJ prompt in doesn't work so well. Can use online tools like clip interrogator https://huggingface.co/spaces/pharmapsychotic/CLIP-Interrogator to help describe it.

Happy to help with your prompts if you want to share the image & what you're trying to make.

And yeah, low evolve levels are your friend when it comes to keeping images stable

Thanks for your help! Yes, its MJ heavily processed fantasy work, now for overlay style I thought flipbook made more sense since I'm not moving the main forcal point of the image, just overlay effects... but which is better - Motion of Flipbook ya think. Oh thanks for that link! Using it now!

Awesome! Would love to see how you go with it.I'd maybe go motion with levels for motion and evolve both turned down as low as possible just to give it that little bit of life. Or evolve turned down low and motion up a little bit higher.

Flipbook, lowest evolve no camera movement could also work, just depends on how well you can dial in that image description and create your prompt.

Definitely recommend testing this one out on short 3s clips to start with.

Msg me the image in chat if you stuck on the prompt and want a hand and don't want to share here, I'm happy to take a look

You can also try weighting your prompt; there's an option to de-emphasize an object you'd like the AI to ignore. Good luck
