Movie Gen: Meta's New AI Tool for Automatic Video Creation

A new AI-powered video generator from Meta produces high-definition footage complete with sound, the company announced on Friday (October 4). The announcement comes several months after competitor OpenAI unveiled Sora, its text-to-video model — though public access to Movie Gen isn’t happening yet.

Movie Gen uses text inputs to automatically generate new videos, as well as edit existing footage or still images. The New York Times reports that the audio added to videos is also AI-generated, matching the imagery with ambient noise, sound effects, and background music. The videos can be generated in different aspect ratios.

In addition to generating new clips, Meta says Movie Gen can also create custom videos from images or take an existing video and change different elements of it. One example shared by the company shows a still headshot of a woman; the added video depicts her sitting in a pumpkin patch sipping a drink (see the image cover).
