Meta unveils Movie Gen, an AI video generator for high-definition content

Meta has introduced Movie Gen, an AI video generator that creates high-definition videos with sound. Unlike previous models, Movie Gen can generate new videos from text, edit existing footage, and modify images, though it is not yet publicly available. The AI-generated audio complements the visuals with ambient sounds and music. Users can change video elements using text prompts, allowing for creative edits, such as altering backgrounds or adding props to existing clips. Despite advancements, Meta's chief product officer stated that Movie Gen is not ready for release due to high costs and long generation times. Concerns about ownership and the impact on creative jobs continue to grow as AI video technology evolves.
