Set aside your gaming hours on your smart camera phone to spend time tinkering with image to video snap shots on an AI Phone.
HONOR’s latest flagship model, the HONOR 400 5G, is one no brainer AI phone. In what sense? Well, the AI (artificial intelligence) image to video application is already built-in in every unit. No longer need to download it, and also to figure out how AI Editing works.
Although the “video” is a mere five-second clip, it is sufficient to produce infinite fun moments. Enough fare to make you and your viewers smile, laugh and giggle.
HONOR 400 is user-friendly. During my review of a borrowed unit, it took me less than five minutes (to exaggerate a little) to make a photo I took “move” and “create” a short skit.
A case in point is during the pre-nuptial pictorial of local celebrity couple Shaira Diaz and EA Guzman at Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar in Quezon City recently. Handling a midnight black colored, 512GB ROM HONOR 400 5G, fresh out of the box, I roamed around the compound clicking.
Towards early evening, satisfied with the bunch of photographs I had taken, I tested the AI Editing features. For a novice AI mobile photographer like me, my question is “How do I make my images move like a video?”
The answer – you must first have an internet connection on either Wi-Fi or mobile data. This is a very important requisite. Then go to the “Gallerie” folder, click “Create” and choose “Image to video”. That is it.
The rain did not deter me from taking pictures and producing image to video samples for a product review for Upgrade Magazine. In fact, it added to the list of photography opportunities under bright, gloomy and dark lighting conditions and spots in the compound.
Do not expect to have every “video” depicts basic movements because surprise will pop out at times. Like when I took a photo of a fountain water shooting up. When I applied AI, the water transformed into a white labrador.
