Meta launches Movie Gen AI to create videos from a single photo

Meta has introduced a new AI system called Movie Gen, which can create realistic videos from just a single photo. This system is said to outperform existing video synthesis models, making it easier to generate custom videos on demand. Movie Gen can produce 1080p videos up to 16 seconds long, incorporating sound and editing features. It builds on previous Meta projects and aims to enhance creativity rather than replace artists. While Meta's Movie Gen shows promising results, its effectiveness may vary based on the training data used. Other companies, like Google, are also developing similar AI video technologies.
