Everything you need to know about Movie Gen, Meta’s (Facebook) new AI for video creation

Spread the love

The Meta group, of which Facebook is a member, continues to show its progress in the field of artificial intelligence. As a reminder, it already offers an equivalent of ChatGPT that is based on its Llama AI models. And like OpenAI, Meta is also interested in other formats, including video. As the group recalls in a blog post, it has already presented artificial intelligences capable of generating images, videos, 3D animations, sound, or even editing images. And a few days ago, it unveiled Movie Gen, a tool that combines all of these features, while allowing for more control over the generated video.

“Our latest research shows how you can use simple text input to produce custom videos and sounds, edit existing videos, and transform your personal image into a unique video,” Meta explains. The group’s goal is to make video creation accessible to more people, while specifying that Movie Gen is not intended to replace the work of artists and animators. “We are sharing this research because we believe in the power of this technology to help people express themselves in new ways and to provide opportunities to people who otherwise would not have them,”, the group says.

A complete tool

First of all, from a description provided by the user, Movie Gen is able to generate videos of 16 seconds, maximum, with a refresh rate of 16 frames per second.
It is also possible to send the image of a person to this new AI and ask it to generate a video from this image.

In addition, Movie Gen allows also, using prompts, to edit an existing video. Meta specifies that the AI only modifies the pixels concerned by the edition.

Furthermore, if a video has no sound, Movie Gen can, for example, create background noise. And the user can give instructions by including text in their prompt. Meta indicates that the generated audio files can last up to 45 seconds and are of “high quality” and “high fidelity”.

Meta challenges the creator of ChatGPT

In any case, Meta believes that Movie Gen is currently the best AI of its kind. This claim is based on human evaluations. These evaluations reportedly revealed that Movie Gen is more efficient than Sora, OpenAI's video generation artificial intelligence.

But Meta isn't offering the AI to the general public right now. It says it's continuing to improve Movie Gen by working with filmmakers and creators. “By taking a collaborative approach, we want to make sure we’re creating tools that help people enhance their inherent creativity in new ways they may never have dreamed of,”, Meta says.
In any case, he’s already imagining the potential uses of Movie Gen on his products, such as Facebook and Instagram’s Réels videos, or WhatsApp.
