Faceless videos and AI
FXCLIPS is designed to easily generate faceless videos.
The idea is that you can create a large number of Shorts and thus easily grow your YouTube channel.
We wanted you to be able to generate videos from images without the need to use a camera. Why? You have different options: to use free and royalty-free graphic resources or your own images and illustrations. It depends on each case which option you decide is the best. Now with the emergence of artificial intelligence tools such as MidJourney, Dall-E, Leonardo, Stable Difussion, and many more, you can have infinite royalty-free images, even with photorealistic quality on any topic.
Therefore, with FXCLIPS, you can generate videos on any topic and in any style you desire: photorealistic, comic, retro, cartoon, minimalist, etc... easily and quickly.
FXCLIPS's interface is minimal and this is fully intentional. As you will be able to verify later, here lies the true power of FXCLIPS. To create a video, you simply place your images in a folder on your PC and click on it. Then, you can use one of the predefined templates or easily define your own template.
Start creating your videos even without reading these instructions.
FXCLIPS is a very easy-to-use product and we believe that these instructions explain everything very well. It shouldn't take you more than a few minutes to follow them. However, when you download the software, you will find a folder with all the examples ready to use. You can copy the ones that you find interesting and replace the images used with your own.
Day 1: Start gaining subscribers with FXCLIPS and a few images.
Let's start with the simplest thing: our predefined templates.
Let's put ourselves in a situation: you have a new channel called SpaceFacts and you want to launch a series of shorts with facts about space: What is the diameter of the Sun?, Who discovered Uranus?, When will a comet visit us again?... simply the possibilities are endless, so it seems like a good line of work. Furthermore, many people love everything related to space, so let's get to work.

Furthermore, many people love everything related to space, so let's get to work.
We'll start with the question: Who discovered Uranus? I love Uranus! Well, the video will have a very simple structure: a nice animated background, then a representation of Uranus appears, followed by the question "Who discovered Uranus?" and after a few seconds, an image of the famous astronomer William Herschel should appear. It would be fabulous if we could finish the video with an outro showing the name of our channel.
Well, this sequence of steps is exactly what our predefined template 1 follows, and we're going to use it. This template requires 7 images named from 1 to 7. We choose to use the PNG format, so we'll create 7 images from 1.png to 7.png:
1: First background
2: Second background
3: Image that appears first
4: Image that appears later
5: Text that appears first
6: Text that appears later
7: Curtain at the end
The videos generated by FXCLIPS are of this type: overlapping and scrolling images along the width and height of the video.
There are background images, such as the starry background in the example, and other foreground images, such as the case of the planet Uranus or the images of William Herschel. Everything is images, even the text is an image. The images can have transparency if we want to show the background over which they move. It is very easy to achieve this, and we will explain how to do it later.
These images can have extensions such as .png, .jpg, or .jpeg. If you do not use any of these images, nothing will be displayed in their place.
Each image moves from an initial position to a final position at a speed. Well, knowing this, you can now generate your first videos using our first predefined template.
There are 16 templates. You can see how each of them turns out here:
To choose a template, create a folder on your PC, name it ending in tXXX, where XXX is the number of the template, for example, t001 in our example. Then choose your images and place them in the folder.
You can use the "Load Log" option to check if any errors or warnings have occurred.
If everything has gone OK, in the same folder where you put the images, you can check that there is a video file with an mp4 extension with your result.
Image format and sizes
Let's talk now about sizes.
Youtube Shorts videos should have a resolution of 1080 pixels wide by 1920 pixels high. The images we use in our video should be the size we want them to appear in the video. For example, the image of Uranus has a size of 1080x960, although a large part of the image is transparent. The case of the background image is special. This image is 1920 pixels high, like the video, but wider. This allows the image, as it scrolls to the left, to create a scrolling effect.

Best superpowers are simple
You may be thinking right now that FXCLIPS is too simple. Its power lies in this simplicity. As you will see, the pre-defined templates give you many possibilities. If you wish, you can define your own, although it's not necessary. The images not only move in the space of the screen but can also be animated very easily to offer very striking effects.
FXCLIPS videos are short, but you can easily join several of them together into a longer one and add audio.
But the best part is that it is not necessary to use any interface, so the difference between creating one or several videos is having the images you need. For example, if you have a news website, you can use the same template or slightly different templates to create dozens of shorts daily, modifying the background, the main image of the news, and the texts. This is a job that you can easily do yourself, or even outsource to a freelancer with very basic specifications.
Day 2: Get ready for something massive: regularly generate ten shorts per day with one click
