VideoPoet - Google's New AI Text-to-Video
Science & Technology
Introduction
This is super new and is likely the next big thing when it comes to generating videos based on PRS. Stick around to see more.
Introduction
Let me introduce you to Google's VideoPoet. VideoPoet is currently under development and is a new large language model designed for a variety of video generation tasks. With tools like Pika, Art, and Runway ML already popular, VideoPoet's developers want to grab a slice of the AI video creation space, and they might just pull it off.
How It Works
Here’s how it works: You type in a prompt, VideoPoet processes it, and outputs four videos to choose from. Each of these videos is 2 seconds long, but you can make the video longer bit by bit by asking VideoPoet to add 1 second more. You can do this over and over again for as long as you want, making the video as long as you want it to be.
Once you get fancy, you can even specify a visual style. The magic lies in the prompt. For instance, VideoPoet is able to generate photo-realistic art, digital art, pencil art, or ink-style videos.
Another fascinating feature is that if part of a video is missing, like a video of a dog running, you can have VideoPoet fill it in. It works like Photoshop’s generative fill but for clips.
Features
VideoPoet also offers image-to-video capabilities, meaning it can take any input image and generate a video matching a given text prompt. Besides video generation, it has some fantastic video editing capabilities, such as controllable video editing like adjusting a raccoon’s dancing styles or style adjustments of pre-existing videos like having teddy bears skate on ice instead of walking on the road.
Finally, another nice feature is that VideoPoet can also automatically generate audio that matches the video. For example, check out a teddy bear playing the guitar and then the drums.
Applications in Education
With all those sweet capabilities, VideoPoet has the potential to shake up various industries, especially education.
Teachers' Usage
Teachers can use VideoPoet to create clips to complement their lesson presentations, making topics and ideas crystal clear. For example, you can depict scenes from different countries or historical periods. This can enhance geography and cultural studies.
Teachers can also create videos that are visually appealing and narratively engaging, helping students stay focused and interested in the learning material. This could be particularly useful for subjects that are typically considered dry or boring. Imagine talking about a huge explosion related to the extinction of dinosaurs compared to showing this explosion while explaining how they evaporated from the face of the Earth.
Students' Usage
Students can also use VideoPoet to produce their video stories, flexing their creativity and critical thinking. This process can, on one hand, encourage them to think more critically about their learning topic, and on the other hand, enhance their creativity skills.
Conclusion
VideoPoet and similar AI apps will revolutionize the way we create and consume videos, democratizing video creation and empowering the production of engaging content without technical expertise. With the right prompts, anyone can be a director.
If you want to see a prompt formula that will help you do just that, then don't miss the video shown on your screen. That’s a wrap for today. Till next time, see you!
