Definition
AI video generation creates videos from text prompts, images, or other inputs using generative models.
Key Technologies: - Diffusion models adapted for video - Temporal consistency techniques - Motion prediction - Frame interpolation
Leading Models: - Sora (OpenAI) - most advanced - Runway Gen-2/Gen-3 - Pika Labs - Stable Video Diffusion - Kling (Kuaishou)
Capabilities: - Text-to-video generation - Image-to-video animation - Video extension - Style transfer
Current Limitations: - Short duration (seconds to minutes) - Temporal consistency issues - Physics violations - High compute cost
Examples
Using Runway to animate a product photo into a 4-second promotional video.
