Turn photos into video clips in under a minute with Oraku
Tools usedOraku
Oraku, a newly launched AI video platform, turns photos, text descriptions or trending templates into video clips in under a minute. It's built for social media creators, small businesses and anyone who wants shareable video without filming or editing software.
What you can make
- Animated clips from your photos: a product shot that zooms and moves, a pet photo that comes to life
- Original video scenes created from one or two sentence descriptions
- Trend-ready videos using weekly updated templates that match what's popular now
- Social media content for Instagram Reels, TikTok or other short-form platforms
Skills and tools you need
- Oraku (check the official site for plans): generates videos from photos, text or templates
- Basic prompting: writing short descriptions of the motion or scene you want
- Source photos: if using the image-to-video feature
- An Oraku account
How to build it
- Sign up at oraku.com and check how credits work—each generation shows its cost before it starts.
- Choose your starting point: upload a photo to animate, write a text prompt to create a scene from scratch, or browse templates for trending video formats.
- For image-to-video: upload your photo and write a short prompt describing the motion or action you want to see (for example, camera movement or how the subject moves).
- For text-to-video: describe the scene in one or two sentences, being specific about the subject, action and setting.
- For templates: pick one that fits your content goal, then add your photo or customize the prompt.
- Check the credit cost shown, start the generation and wait—most videos finish in well under a minute.
- Download the video and use it as-is, or edit it further in a video editor if you want to add text, music or combine clips.
Prompt to copy
For image-to-video (step 3):
[the motion or camera movement you want]
Example: The camera slowly zooms in on the product as soft light moves across it
Example: The person smiles and waves at the camera
For text-to-video (step 4):
[subject] [action] in [setting]. [optional: camera or style note]
Example: A golden retriever runs through a park at sunset. Camera follows from the side.
Example: A cup of coffee steams on a wooden desk. Morning light streams through the window.
Tips
- Browse templates first if you're new to AI video—Oraku adds new ones every week based on current trends, so you can join a trend while it's still popular.
- Keep prompts focused on one clear action; simple descriptions often work better than trying to describe multiple things happening at once.
- Credits are refunded automatically if a generation fails, so experiment freely to find what works for your content.
