NÜWA from Microsoft.

P.S., Lucidrains remade it! AND he's adding an audio transformer to it tomorrow he says! But he needs feedback and someone to train it, I don't think there is enough resources helping this project's training. You can reach him through: https://github.com/microsoft/NUWA

Been working on this for a bit now and would love to know what folks think about solutions like this.

Have been hearing that 360-degree videos are much more engaging for E-Commerce brands, and the tech is just starting to get good enough.

Would love any and all feedback here!

The tech behind is right now is primarily driven by CogVideo: https://github.com/THUDM/CogVideo with some post processing but been working to make it much better and scale up resolution.

Additionally two open source demo models [CogVideo[(https://github.com/THUDM/CogVideo) by a groups of cs students a model by [Antonia Antonova](https://antonia.space/text-to-video-generation) and have presented their own innovative methods of generating video from text

The second thing that will happen is the appearance of AI video and audio. Google has shown two programs for video generation, one which is fairly high quality and the other which can make long videos with several scenes. Meta has also demonstrated their own. We've already seen other projects like CogVideo, as well as many others that are currently being worked on. It's likely that these techniques will become so refined that over the next year or two, they'll have a similar boom to image generation programs. And eventually, they'll have a similar application in video editing, once coherence is adequate enough. Select a person's shirt, and it stays that for the remainder of the scene. Change an actor's hairstyle in real time, or add characters that didn't exist into a scene and let the computer figure out the desired level of realism. This'll revolutionize VFX to a degree where making an effects heavy will be less about wrangling complex toolsets and more about making aesthetic choices of style and placement.

Check out https://github.com/THUDM/CogVideo - progress is being made on coherent video generation.

Characters and dialogue are effectively solved, just look at GPT-3.

The entity behind StableDiffusion is also supporting generative music art, so let's see what is coming out of that: https://www.harmonai.org/

We are currently far away from generating a production quality movie with AI, but I don't think it's going to be nearly as long as a lifetime. In my opinion, we'll have high quality AI shorts within the decade.

CogVideo and a CogView web app.

A better comparison to AI music generation would be video generation, which has not improved much since i saw first examples some years ago. The last iteration is stuff like CogVideo and this is only able to generate 4 second videos with mid-strong artifacts.
