How to Create Hybrid Animal Videos That Go Viral: A Step-by-Step Guide

If you’ve been scrolling through your feed recently, you’ve probably noticed a wave of short videos featuring creatively combined animals. It’s a trend that’s taking over social media! I stumbled upon a channel doing exactly this, and the results were fascinating. These videos are racking up millions of views within hours—and guess what? Creating them is easier than you think. In fact, you can make your own in under 10 minutes!

In this guide, I’ll walk you through the exact steps to create your own hybrid animal video from start to finish. Whether you’re looking to boost your content creation or simply curious, this tutorial will get you started. So, let’s dive in!

Step 1: Use ChatGPT to Generate a Detailed Image Prompt

The first step is using ChatGPT to create the prompts for your hybrid animal images. This step lays the foundation for your video and ensures that the visuals look cohesive and engaging.

To get started, open ChatGPT. You’ll create two images: one of the original animals facing each other, and another of a hybrid creature that combines both animals. For example, if you want a Gorilla and an Eagle, here’s how to begin:

1. For the first image, type: “Create a prompt for an image of a Gorilla and an Eagle facing each other in an Alpine Forest.” ChatGPT will generate a detailed description including the setting, colors, and the animals’ positions.
2. For the second image, type: “Create a prompt for an image of a hybrid between a Gorilla and an Eagle, using the same background as before.” This keeps the background consistent, making your video smoother and more visually appealing.

Once you have both prompts, you’re ready to turn these ideas into stunning visuals!

Step 2: Use Ideogram to Generate the Images

Next, we’ll use Ideogram, a simple AI tool, to convert your prompts into real images.

1. Copy the first prompt (the one with the Gorilla and the Eagle) and paste it into Ideogram.
2. Make sure to select a 9:16 aspect ratio, perfect for platforms like YouTube Shorts, Instagram, or TikTok.
3. Click Generate and let the AI process your request. You’ll have your first image in seconds!

Now, do the same for the second prompt to create the hybrid animal image. Once both images are ready, download them to your device for the next step.

Step 3: Create a Video Using Kling AI

Now comes the exciting part—turning your images into a video using Kling AI.

1. Go to the Kling AI interface and select AI Videos.
2. Switch to the Image to Video tab and enable the Add End Frame option for smooth transitions.
3. Upload the original animal image on the left and the hybrid image on the right. This layout will visually show the transformation from two animals into one.

In the prompt box, describe the action: “Two animals leap towards each other, colliding in midair. As they clash, they merge into a hybrid beast.” This description helps the AI understand the transition you want.

After hitting Generate, your video will be ready in minutes. If the hybrid creature doesn’t get enough screen time, you can create a second video focusing on the hybrid alone by uploading just the hybrid image.

If Kling AI takes too long, alternatives like Luma AI or Haiper AI also work well for creating similar videos.

Step 4: Edit the Videos Using CapCut

With your video clips ready, it’s time to edit them using CapCut, a beginner-friendly video editing tool.

1. Import the clips into CapCut and arrange them on the timeline: start with the original animals, then the hybrid transformation, and finally the solo shot of the hybrid.
2. Add transitions to create smooth shifts between the clips.
3. You can also speed up the first part of the video where the animals meet to keep the pace exciting.

For narration, use ElevenLabs to create a voiceover. Simply type your script into the Text to Speech tool, select a friendly voice, and generate the audio. Then, import the audio into CapCut and sync it with your video clips.

Lastly, add some background music—you can find royalty-free tracks on YouTube’s music library or Pixabay. Adjust the volume so that it complements the voiceover without overpowering it.

For extra immersion, you can also add animal sound effects. Sync these sounds with the visuals to enhance the viewer’s experience.

In just a few simple steps, you’ve created a full hybrid animal video that’s ready to go viral! With tools like ChatGPT, Ideogram, Kling AI, and CapCut, you don’t need professional editing skills to create engaging, high-quality content. Just follow this guide, unleash your creativity, and start making your own viral videos in no time.
