FreePik: When an AI Platform Has All The Things

Today I am diving deep into Freepik, one of the rising stars in the all-in-one AI platform world. Is it worth the hype? Absolutely! I'm doing a full platform tour and showing you exactly why Freepik is a game-changer, whether you're a seasoned AI pro or just starting your creative journey. I use Freepik, and it has earned a place in my workflow. I'm partnering with them for this video, but as always, I'm giving you the straight goods – no hard sell, just real insights.

Freepik's core is its powerful suite of AI generation tools, covering everything from stunning images to dynamic videos. But it's so much more than just that! I'll show you how it stands out from the crowd, especially if you're looking to move beyond platforms like Midjourney.

I'm putting Freepik's AI models to the test: Mystic (their own unique model), Google's Image Gen 3 (known for incredible prompt coherence), and Flux. We'll do a head-to-head comparison with a challenging prompt to see which model reigns supreme. Plus, I'll reveal one of Freepik's most exciting new features: integration with Magnific AI for mind-blowing creative upscaling! I also show the editor that allows modifications!

But that's not all! I'll also explore:

Image Editing: Built-in tools that rival a mini-Lightroom.
Outpainting: Easily change aspect ratios and expand your images.
Style Presets: A HUGE library of styles to transform your generations.
Custom Model Training: Create your own unique style and even train a character model (yes, I trained another AI version of myself!).
Video Generation: Access to ALL the major AI video models (MiniMax, Kling, Runway, Luma's Dream Machine, and more!). I will compare outputs, and demonstrate their unique feature.
Sound Effects & Lip Sync: Add sound effects directly to your videos and even utilize lip-syncing capabilities.
Design: A library of options for pring.
Vector: Options for illistration.
Templates: Many premade templates for a variety of applications.
I'll also break down Freepik's pricing tiers (including the free option!) and show you how it stacks up against the competition.

AND: If you use the coupon code THEO you get 50 uses, and can try Freepik Premium for 48 hours!

I never miss your videos - I'm a genuine fan! I was so stoked to hear my voice being used in your lip sync demo (my voice is the number one voice on ElevenLabs for users and uses). Although you said it was Jake Morrison, I'm 99% sure the one used was actually what FreePik calls 'Austin Lane' - which turns out is actually mine from ElevenLabs. They license their key voices to a lot of differen services. The original pro voice is called 'Adam Stone' (300k users/1.6 billion uses). It's also a premium voice on CapCut I believe. So chuffed I got my 2 seconds of fame voicing blue suit man!! :-D

Been a freepik fan for 6 months now. There is much value w them it's hard to compete. The amount of options they add weekly is mind-boggling.

Freepik allowed me to learn so much so fast this past 3 weeks! I went from knowing absolutely nothing to making music videos that look like actual real music videos.

[Midnightica]

This might be something worth checking out. Thanks!

[CaneWithNoCandy]

If you don't mind a suggestion, would you consider doing a monthly (or, maybe, every 3 months) top 3 best AI tools for different categories (text to image, text to voice, image to video, etc)?

The reason I'm asking is because there are so many of them out there already, with new ones popping up quickly, and it's hard to keep up, so regular refresher would be amazing.

[andybaker]

I tried it out yesterday and was not impressed at all. I found it confusing. This makes me want to take another look, so I think I'll use that link below and see what I can do with it. Thanks for this!

We would like to see both object training and set training for consistent props and backgrounds.

Also is freepik effective at placing and directing mulitple trained characters in a shot?

Could this be done with a 3d scene arranger if some kind?

[cobaltblue]

What trips me out is we are sitting around chatting about this stuff like its just Wednesday. All of this was science fiction just 5 years ago!

[jameswilliams]

You probably are doing something similar already but it would be cool if every few weeks you dropped a quick options comparison. And titled it something like that.
A new feature drops in runway, you mention it and then also a quick review of which features are unique to each other video program and what overlaps.
Might be an easy video to make because a lot could be recycled content.
Or like the all in ones, it might be most important to quickly sum up what features are actually not available.
Like not having scene addition from pika might be a deal killer. Or act one from runway.
The pace of the growth is so fast it’s hard to keep track of which feature is where so it’s hard to make educated decisions without huge amounts of time.
Great content keep it up. 👍💪

I love this channel. Thanks for all the coverage❤❤❤

[sprocketsintime]

Hi Tim, just caught this one.... I really appreciate your breakdowns on these latest tools. Since this one includes Runway... I'm curious if you can make use of Act One... Or would that only be available through the Runway platform?

[Edit-djvc]

I literally rely on you to keep me up to date on everything to do with AI video 🙏🤓 Thank you!

[human.]

I am going to buy this immediately. One thing I really need, though, is being able to pose ai models, especially for stills. I don’t care if it’s a reference pic, simple “stick figure”, or being able to draw it out, I need it.

[otisberlin]

Thank you for the always informative, concise and explanatory updates. Your straightforward and common sense approach demystifies a lot and makes all these amazing tools accessible and easy to use

[NoFaithNoPain]

I want to see an Extender-generator function where you can input any resolution picture and it will create a new resolution picture, not only in pixels but in ratio, so you can put in a 16:9 picture and get out a 21:9 picture with some intelligent questions about wether you want to crop or not? It will create new detail based upon what is in the existing picture. This might mean some upscaling combined in there for big differences

[FelipeGallego]

Freepik became amazing!! I think the only thing it lacks for now is object training for products, like footwear, eyewear... Thanks a lot for this video!!!

[timmyG]

"Where does he get those wonderful tools?" - you get to play with all the cool stuff, Tim!

[mrbabyhugh]

13:20 I like the feature Pika has with image references, can add say 3 photos and generate a video from it. Runway Act One, don't know if they open that up but that would "solve" lipsyjc issue too. Lipsync Freepik use is pretty outdated too. But I didn't know all this before, Freepik AI is actually very good, only "all in one" I would actually use.

[Escelce]

I'd love to see more video to video in the ai programs like Runways.

[SmilinVVolf]

Yesss give me more. I've seen you do many of these and wonder if you'd ever do one as complete AI video. Thought it could be fun but definitely overkill😂😂
