Meta Announces 'Industry-Leading' AI Video Generator: Movie Gen 📽
Meta has announced, Movie Gen, a new AI-powered video generatorl that creates high-definition videos complete with sound.
Details:
Movie Gen can generate entirely new videos using text prompts and edit existing footage or images. Users can transform still images into moving scenes or alter existing videos with new elements.
It can also add sound to the videos, including ambient noise, sound effects, and background music, all created by AI to match the visuals.
Videos can be produced in various aspect ratios, catering to different platforms and uses.
Meta's chief product officer stated that Movie Gen is not ready for release due to high costs and long generation times, though Mark Zuckerberg has said it will be "coming to Instagram next year."
Tools like Movie Gen promise to change how we create and consume video content. However, users will have to wait a bit longer, as Movie Gen is not yet available for public use.
