Hello Questers!

Today, I'm excited to share some news about a groundbreaking development from Google Research: VideoPoet.

What is VideoPoet?

VideoPoet is a large language model developed by Google Research in 2023. It's a simple modeling method that can convert any autoregressive language model or large language model (LLM) into a high-quality video generator. It can output videos, audio, and even edit videos with a high degree of temporal consistency and variety, using text prompts or other modalities as input.

How Does VideoPoet Work?

VideoPoet utilizes a pre-trained MAGVIT V2 video tokenizer and a SoundStream audio tokenizer, which convert images, videos, and audio clips into a unified vocabulary. This vocabulary is then used by an autoregressive language model, which learns across various modalities, including text, to generate high-quality videos.

What Can VideoPoet Do?

VideoPoet can produce high-motion variable-length videos from a simple text prompt. It can also generate audio that matches an input video, without the need for any additional text guidance. The model accepts text and image and video as prompt input, with a program to add feature for any input to any format generated content.

Some Jaw-Dropping Examples

1. Image to video:

Mona Lisa yawning

2. Text to video

A squirrel radiologist reading an x-ray

3. Video editing

Input Video: Two raccoons on motorbikes on a mountain road surrounded by pine trees, 8k.

Extended Video: Two raccoons on motorbikes. A meteor shower falls behind the raccoons. The meteors impact the earth and explode.

4. Stylization

Prompt: Teddy bears ice skating on a frozen, crystal-clear lake.

5. A robot cat eating spaghetti, digital art.

6. A tree walking through the forest, tilt shift.

7. A lion typing on a keyboard.

8. Humans building a highway on Mars, cinematic.

Future of VideoPoet

While VideoPoet is currently not available for independent use, future accessibility may be considered by Google Research after thorough testing and development phases. So, stay tuned for updates on accessibility and further exploration of this groundbreaking AI tool.

Conclusion

VideoPoet represents a significant leap forward in the field of AI and video generation. Although it's still under development, the potential applications of this technology are vast and exciting. We look forward to seeing how VideoPoet will transform the landscape of video creation in the future.

Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting development!
