Text-to-video creator platform Pika 1.0 now available
Pika Labs has recently announced its new AI platform, Pika 1.0 is available for everyone to create videos using textual prompts. Competing with Stability AI and Runway, Pika is another alternative platform using AI to create content for businesses and individuals. Available only on web, the platform allows you to generate and edit videos in diverse styles such as 3D animation, anime or cinematic – from simple text prompts. The platform has a simple interface similar to ChatGPT, so users can input their prompts describing their envisioned idea, and the AI model will produce results accordingly in a minute or so. According to Pika Labs, the model behind the platform can produce a wide range of content, like 3D animations, live-action clips and cinematic videos, including modifying moving objects. The platform also offers customisation tools like adjusting frames per second between 8 to 24 and the aspect ratio of the clip; and adjusting motion elements, including camera pan, tilt, zoom and the strength of motion. Users can also fine-tune the results further and ask Pika to regenerate new options with the same prompt. With Edit feature you can modify a specific region of the clip and expand the canvas to a different aspect ratio. Four more seconds can be added to the original clip and its quality can be improved with available functions on the platform. Pika has an additional amazing feature to let you upload your own pictures from local library and bring them to life, with a short clip. Currently, to use Pika, users have to sign-up and be put on a waitlist, which gives you access soon enough. Within minutes of being enrolled, you will have access to all of Pika 1.0 features on the web. "Start using it to create videos on command. Unlimited access is still free, so go wild,” the company says in the email. We know firsthand that making high-quality content is difficult and expensive, and we built Pika to give everyone, from home users to film professionals, the tools to bring high-quality video to life. Our vision is to enable anyone to be the director of their stories and to bring out the creator in all of us,” Demi Guo, the CEO of the company says. While trying out, the AI model produced inconsistent results, with much of three-second video clips turning up blurred, with main objects out of focus or deformed. However, it is still too early for the model to be perfect, with new updates, Pika Labs will launch new updates to fix issues in the model.
