Video Generation with AI

Video Generation Landscape

Text-to-Video

# Conceptual API usage
video = video_model.generate(
    prompt="A cinematic drone shot flying over mountains at sunset",
    duration=5,  # seconds
    fps=24,
    resolution="1080p"
)

Image-to-Video Animate a static image:

from diffusers import StableVideoDiffusionPipeline

pipe = StableVideoDiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained(
    "stabilityai/stable-video-diffusion-img2vid"
)

# Generate video frames from image
frames = pipe(
    image=input_image,
    num_frames=25,
    fps=6
).frames[0]

Video Understanding LLMs with video understanding:

# Gemini or GPT-4o with video
response = llm.generate(
    prompt="Describe what happens in this video",
    video="path/to/video.mp4"
)

Frame Interpolation Increase video smoothness:

# RIFE, FILM for frame interpolation
interpolated = interpolate(
    frames,
    target_fps=60,  # From 24 to 60
    model="rife"
)
