Meta unveils Movie Gen, a new AI tool for text to video generation

Meta has launched a new AI tool called Movie Gen, which can create realistic videos and audio from text prompts. This announcement follows OpenAI's recent introduction of its own text-to-video generator, Sora. Movie Gen can produce up to 16 seconds of video and 45 seconds of audio, generating synchronized background music and sound effects. It also allows for custom video creation and editing, enhancing existing footage with new elements. Despite its advanced capabilities, Movie Gen is not yet available for public use due to high costs and lengthy generation times. Meta's tests indicate that it outperforms competitors like OpenAI's Sora and Runaway Gen 3.
