The Dawn of AI in Video Creation: A New Era for Filmmakers and Content Creators

Nick Harborne • Jan 03, 2024

2024 is shaping up to be a landmark year in video creation, thanks to groundbreaking advancements in AI video generators.

Introduction

Tools like Runway ML, Leonardo's Motion, PikaLabs and others are not just innovative technologies but harbingers of a new era in filmmaking and content creation. In this post, we'll delve into these tools and discuss why understanding them is crucial for anyone in the video creation industry.


MidJourney's Foray into AI Video Generation

MidJourney, a platform I use daily, is stepping into AI video creation with a promising new tool. Building on their success in AI image generation, MidJourney is expected to bring similar innovation and quality to video. Users like myself, familiar with MidJourney's image capabilities, can anticipate a user-friendly interface and powerful video generation features. This advancement is particularly exciting for current MidJourney users, as it promises to extend the creative possibilities from static images to dynamic video content, potentially revolutionizing our workflow and creative output.


The example below was created in 2 minutes. Having generated the highly intricate image to the left with MidJourney then asking Pika Labs to animate it and turn it into a gif. (Not amazing, but incredible knowing where it will be in a few months).

Google's NEW AI - VideoPoet (Coming Soon)

Though a little late to the video generation game, Google's VideoPoet, built on a large language model, stands out for its ability to handle motion more gracefully and create longer, more dynamic videos. This tool is redefining the scope of AI-generated videos, moving beyond simple text-to-image models to predict video and audio chunks, thereby enabling more complex and nuanced video creation. Currently there is no video model that is bringing in audio to their videos which makes this tool a very interesting contender. Below you can see a better visual for how this works.

The New Age of Video Creators

With these tools, a new generation of video creators is emerging. These AI technologies are making it possible to generate high-quality video content faster and more efficiently than ever before. This democratization of video production means that writers, filmmakers, and content creators can experiment with new forms of storytelling, blending AI's capabilities with human creativity.

Why These Tools Matter

For professionals in the film and content creation industries, understanding and utilizing these AI video generators is becoming increasingly important. They offer not just time-saving benefits but also open up new avenues for creative expression. Whether it's applying styles to existing videos, performing edits, or generating completely new content, these tools are expanding the horizons of what's possible in video production.


Conclusion

As we step into this new era, embracing these AI video tools is key for anyone looking to stay at the forefront of the video creation industry. The blend of AI and human creativity promises to unlock unprecedented opportunities in storytelling and visual art, making now an exciting time to be a part of this rapidly evolving field.
