First, in a galaxy far, far away, there was AI converting text to video. It was awkward and made us laugh. But then, lo and behold, Sora showed up and we were silent in awe and amazement. Video from text prompts could be high quality, consistent, and enjoyable. After all, it has a future.
Meanwhile, domestically, Stanford AI PhD dropout Demi Guo and her friend Chenlin Meng launched Pika, promising to make text-to-video technology better than anyone else on the planet. Since then, they've been constantly adding tools, fighting back against larger rivals like Runway ML and OpenAI in the process. The company's momentum is strong.
The democratization of video production is on the horizon, empowering anyone with a vision to create compelling visual content without the need for expensive equipment or expertise. One thing is clear: the future of storytelling is being rewritten with AI-generated frames. Let's take a look at the latest products and tips on how to bring your Pika video clips to life with SFX.
