🚨 Breaking news: Google just launched LUMIERE, the latest AI model for video generation. Lumiere is expected to transform the future of VIDEO forever

Lumiere can generate video from different inputs, including text-to-video, which works like a regular image generator and generates a video from a text prompt, and image-to-video, which takes an image and uses its accompanying prompt to bring the photo to life in a video. The model can also put a fun spin on video generation through stylized generation, which uses a single reference image to generate video in the target style using a user prompt. In addition to generating video, the model can be used to edit existing video through various visual stylizations that modify a video to reflect a specific prompt, cinemagraphs that animate a specific area of a photo, and inpainting, which fills in missing or damaged areas in the video.
