What's up with gen-video? Micro-digest.

1. Pika has added pikaframes. Now, you can add up to five images and generate a video up to 25 seconds long based on them. By the way, this works in the app for iOS as well.

2. In Adobe Premiere Pro, you can now erase objects, change backgrounds, sync audio with video, and search for needed scenes by description using a prompt. 4k video is now available for generation.

3. Runway introduced Gen-4 Turbo. It now takes 30 seconds to create a 10-second video.

Who has already tested the fresh Kling 2.0?

Drop your works in the comments!

I skimmed through user reviews on Twitter, and the sentiments about the new version are very positive; for the most part, everyone is very satisfied.

Looking at CausVid — a largely revolutionary model that allows for instant video generation in streaming mode.

Playback starts immediately after clicking the "Generate" button.
Speed of 9.4 frames per second, supports text-to-video, image-to-video, video-to-video. The code is here.

Still, I am a fan of cool presentation of updates and features in AI services.

I regularly praise the marketers of Pika, but Luma is good too. The first video is official, presenting the fresh functionality of video-to-video stylization in Dream Machine. Isn’t it cool?

The second is a test of the feature by Mr. Dobrokotov (@strangedalle), to clearly show that we're not just being fed cherry-picks here.

Ordered new video generators?

1. This is a new bid for success from ByteDance, called Seedance 1.0. It is positioned as a fast, functional model with 1080p resolution, 24 frames per second, support for multi-frame video, and near real-time rendering. There were some mentions about the cost being around 50 cents (fifty cent 🤭) for 5 seconds.

2. And this is a teaser compilation of the upcoming video model from Midjourney. Creators' opinions are mixed so far. It feels like we should prepare for something that will be decent in quality and expensive. Let's see what features Midjourney will use to compete with others.

Here are some cute cherry picks from Moonvalley

This is a startup specializing in gen-video with a focus on professional use, creating tools for directors, studios, and agencies.

Has anyone tested Showrunneryet?

Brief overview – this is an AI platform where you can prompt, choose the genre and details, and then generate fully animated scenes, including characters, dialogues, and all visuals. It's all aimed at creating animated series.

They opened access to the platform a year ago, but back then you couldn't generate anything yourself. Instead, a range of cartoons was available, and it was positioned as "AI cartoon streaming, where you can influence the plot" (attaching a screenshot from those times).

Now things are more serious – there's a platform for generation, but access is still through a waitlist.

If you were suddenly looking for it – here they brought Veo 3 with improved realism<ph2>

By the way, OpenArt recently went viral on X and Product Hunt as a platform for creating comprehensive stories. I haven't tested it; if you have, share your thoughts.
