Movie Gen

Text prompts can edit footage you already have in Movie Gen, which is the most specific thing it does.

Movie Gen is an AI video generator and editor that creates clips from written descriptions, still images or existing video, then adds AI-generated audio to match what is on screen.

That audio covers music and sound effects, so the site files it under music and audio as well as video.

Output is high definition and comes in several aspect ratios, so a clip can be shaped for different screens.

Movie Gen also models motion so movement in generated scenes looks realistic, though results will depend on how well you write your prompt.

The main catch is length.

Clips are currently capped at 16 seconds, so the tool fits short social posts, ads, concept shots and quick tests better than anything narrative.

Ethical concerns around AI-generated content apply too, so think about how you label and use what you make.

If short clips are all you need, Movie Gen lets you try text to video and image to video in one place.
