Notes on making AI images and short videos with Yeri AI: a beginner checklist

Yeri AI bundles text-to-image, image-to-image, text-to-video and image-to-video generation into one web app, and this repo collects what I learned using it. The goal is a short, honest reference: what each part of the tool is good at, and where it still needs a second pass.

Editing tools

The watermark remover and style changer cover most quick fixes that used to need a desktop editor. The image expander (outpainting) is handy for turning a square photo into a 16:9 banner without cropping the subject.

Use cases

Typical uses: product photos for small shops, YouTube thumbnails, ad creatives, concept art, and short promo clips. Marketers, e-commerce sellers, designers and video creators are the people who get the most out of it.

Video

Text-to-video clips are short, so plan one idea per clip and cut several together afterwards. I generate a clean still first, then animate it. That gives much more control than describing everything in one video prompt.

Tips

• Generate four variations, pick one, then iterate on that one only.
• Use the same reference image across a series to keep characters consistent.
• Check hands, text and logos at full size before publishing.

Models

Model choice matters more than prompt length. Fast models are fine for exploring ideas; switch to a pro model only for the final render to save credits. Yeri AI lets you choose the model per job. Seedream is my pick for detailed product shots, Nano Banana for fast drafts and multi-reference edits, and GPT Image when the picture has to contain readable text.

Templates

Video templates and photo effects are the fastest way to get something social-ready; swap in your own photo and adjust the text. The prompt library is useful when you are stuck: copy a prompt, change the subject, keep the lighting and composition terms.
