Let’s be real: video is the format for grabbing attention. Whether you’re on Threads, Reels, or TikTok, short, visually stunning videos get the scroll to stop and the clicks to roll. But you don’t need a camera, crew, or studio anymore—just two AI-generated images and a smart prompt.

That’s exactly what I did—using Midjourney and Kling, I turned static visuals into a high-converting, cinematic ad. Here’s the exact workflow that got me over 80K views.

🛠️ Tools You’ll Need

Midjourney — for generating gorgeous start & end frames
Kling AI — for animating between them with smooth transitions, motion, and sound

🧪 My 5-Step Viral Video Workflow

To create a viral video like this one, all you need it two images, one for the start and one for the end frame.

Step 1: Generate an Image from the Product Image in Midjourney

After receiving the product image from your customers, use it as a style reference to produce a start frame

💡 Use Midjourney’s “Style reference” to maintain visual consistency.

These images will act as your “before” and “after” frames.

Step 2: Upload to Kling

Go to Kling → Choose Image to Video → Upload Start + End frames.

Step 3: Write Your Transition Prompt

Describe what happens between the two images.Example: “A creative advertisement of flowers spinning around and transform into a bottle of perfume, flower blooming”
