Meta unveils Movie Gen, an AI tool that creates HD videos from text prompts

Meta has introduced Movie Gen, an AI tool that creates 16-second HD videos from simple text prompts. This new technology can add sound effects and user likenesses, marking a significant improvement over earlier AI-generated videos, which often had visual flaws. The tool can generate detailed scenes, such as a monkey in a hot spring, and includes options for background music and soundtracks. Users can also edit existing videos by adding backgrounds or outfits, enhancing the overall realism. While still a work in progress, Meta aims to empower creativity rather than replace artists. The company has not announced a public release date for Movie Gen but is focused on advancing media generation technology.
