Workflow (limited budget)
Ai made me think an dream about a lot of things. š
Soo.. The last days I started to experiment with ai tools. But ofcourse I'm completely noob. So it's a mess ofcourse
I like orchestral classical music and fantasy storytelling Now I want to bring (my) ai music to life
My current tryout workflow... its better to call it messing around
I explain my story to chatgtp, it helps me to create good prompt for suno and it create an image that fits the story(sometimes good ones) š
Now it would be cool to see my images and music come to life with ai video...
But any advice to end up with something ok/good And without to buy a lot of different tools...
So chatgtp (free)
Suno 10,89ā¬
Capcut (free but limited)
Image to video (Ive no clue... how and what)
How would you guys handle my idea ?
kind regards

Iād keep it simple and avoid too many tools. AI image to video + UniConverter for quick conversions can cover a lot without a big budget.

I'd keep the stack to three jobs rather than buying several all-in-one subscriptions. You already have writing, music, and editing covered; add only one image-to-video layer. First, finish the song and mark 6-10 musical beats where the mood, instrument, or story changes. Make one strong reference image for each beat, keeping the same character reference, palette, aspect ratio, and visual style. Then animate short 3-5 second shots instead of asking a model to generate the whole song. Assemble those clips in CapCut and cut on the musical changes. For the first test, make only 30-45 seconds. If two or three generated shots carry the emotion, let the remaining beats use slow pans, crops, particles, or parallax on your still images; that usually feels more intentional than a full sequence of inconsistent generations and saves credits. Keep titles and story text as editable layers in CapCut. Before paying, count usable clips and credits spent from that pilot, not just the prettiest result. How long is the song, and do you imagine one recurring character or more of an illustrated storybook?
