Creating animated videos is tough. But what if we tell you that it doesn’t require special software or skills? With the help of new AI tools, you can turn any video into an animated one with a few clicks. You can further tweak those animated videos after editing them in your favorite app.
We have tried a bunch of free AI video-to-animation converters. While most of them get the job done, they ask for money to unlock a certain feature. However, we found a Discord bot called DomoAI that does the job perfectly for free.

Convert Videos to Animation in DomoAI
Either on your server’s channel or on the DomoAI server’s generate-video channel, the process of converting a video to animation is the same.
1. Type /video and hit the spacebar to get the option to upload a video.
2. Upload the video and press the spacebar to give a prompt. You can upload any video supported by Discord, but DomoAI can convert the first 5 seconds.
3. In the prompt, give a detailed explanation of what’s happening in the video. This will help the AI to understand the video and process it faster.
4. Once uploaded, select the animation style that you prefer from the list provided.
5. Here select the Refer to source video more option or Refer to my prompt more option.
- If you choose the Refer to source video more option, the generated output will take more input from the original video.
- If you choose the Refer to my prompt more option, the generated output takes more clues from the prompt you have provided which are not even in the original video.
6. Then select the time it should take to process. Selecting more time provides you with a better quality output in general. However, it takes more time than the estimated time provided here.
7. Once done, click on the Start button to convert the original video into an animation video.
8. Once done with the generation, Domo AI will message back with an animation video and also the original video.
Here’s the original and converted video by DomoAI:
Other Features of DomoAI
Other than changing the video’s style, DomoAI also has other features and is also available for free.
1. Use /animate slash code to convert images to videos.
2. /gen slash code can be used to generate images with a prompt.
3. Finally /real slash code is used to turn an anime photo into a realistic photo.
Animating Video
The animated video converted by DomoAI is not completely perfect and most of the time it does not reflect the same facial features. However, if you prefer to get an animated video of any style, now you can easily record a video and convert it into an animation in a couple of minutes.
