But there are also interesting alternatives
In the field of artificial intelligence, Google presented its latest AI video generation innovation in early 2024: Lumiere.
Development
Lumiere represents a quantum leap in the AI landscape, allowing users to enter text descriptions or upload static images, and then generate dynamic and detailed videos. The technology is positioned as a natural evolution of generative AI models, often compared to ChatGPT but focused on video creation and editing.
Comparison with other models
While there are other AI video generators like Pika and Runway, Lumiere stands out for its innovative approach to handling temporal data in videos. This model was trained on a dataset of 30 million videos and their captions, capable of generating 80 frames at 16 frames per second. However, the source of the data used to train Lumiere has not been disclosed, raising questions in the fields of copyright and AI.
An interesting alternative: FlexClip
FlexClip is a simple yet powerful web-based AI video maker that creates videos in minutes.
Main features:
- AI Text-to-Video, Blog-to-Video and Script-to-Video, AI Translator, Auto Subtitles and AI Text-to-Speech, AI Image Generator
- Speed Curve, Freeze Frame, Split Screen Video, Reverse Video, Chroma Key and 4k download.
- Millions of royalty-free media content, including photos, videos and music
- Over 6000 exquisitely designed video templates in different categories
Legality and Copyright Matters
The explosion of generative AI models has led to numerous lawsuits related to copyright infringement, particularly for the allegedly illicit use of content during the training phase. A prominent case was that filed by the New York Times against Microsoft and OpenAI, creators of ChatGPT, for the “illegal” use of their content for training purposes.
Lumiere fits into this context as a milestone, pushing the boundaries of AI-assisted creativity. Its ability to generate realistic videos from simple text or images opens up new avenues for content creators, designers and technology enthusiasts, marking a new chapter in the evolution of artificial intelligence.
