Gen-3 Alpha Video to Video is now available on web for all paid plans. Video to Video represents a new control mechanism for precise movement, expressiveness and intent within generations. To use Video to Video, simply upload your input video, prompt in any aesthetic direction you like, or, choose from a collection of preset styles.

See examples below.

Introducing Sora, our text-to-video model.

Sora can create videos of up to 60 seconds featuring highly detailed scenes, complex camera motion, and multiple characters with vibrant emotions.

Prompt: “Beautiful, snowy Tokyo city is bustling. The camera moves through the bustling city street, following several people enjoying the beautiful snowy weather and shopping at nearby stalls. Gorgeous sakura petals are flying through the wind along with snowflakes.”

VIPs of @IEEEsps welcomed us today to @ieeeICASSP with energizing performance of local dragons 🎇🇸🇬

[Marta Mrak @MartaMrak]

And @ieeeICASSP is finally back in person, after a couple of years of virtual experiences. Great to see my @ieeeMMSP and @IEEEsps colleagues

Continual developments in compression are needed to deliver bandwidth-intensive video formats such as ultra-high definition or panoramic video. We are exploring new approaches which use artificial intelligence techniques.

This year @ieeeMMSP workshop was held as a hybrid event but I had to attend it virtually, still missing out on many benefits and fun of being there in person. Many thanks to the organisers for sending a nice conf. package by post, including USB proceedings @IEEEsps @CIVIT_Finland

How to quickly create visuals for a story when lots of footage is available? Our colleagues from @FCTNOVA - Joao Magalhaes @jmc_mag and @davidfsemedo led this work and came up with a number of useful strategies to automate the process 💡💡 A summary was presented at @ACMMM_2021

[BBC Research & Development @BBCRD]

The extra perspectives from user generated content can be a great addition to a news story, but it can be hard to curate an overwhelming amount of material that comes in from a live event.

We are developing tools to help editors and automate the process:

@What2DoNext @ieeeMMSP @TampereUni @marcgorriz MMSP hybrid offers lots of functionalities. By accessing remotely we can present oral and poster papers, and ask questions / have discussions live with presenters of posters. But as in every interaction between different time zones, communication is limited

[Marta Mrak @MartaMrak]

Great experience of hybrid @ieeeMMSP 2021 thanks to the amazing work lead by Atanas Gotchev @TampereUni and his team 👏👏
The photo shows how my colleague @marcgorriz presented his work today. The recording of the whole session is available on the virtual platform.

[Marta Mrak @MartaMrak]

@What2DoNext @ieeeMMSP @TampereUni @marcgorriz Remote only 😐... missing most of the experience

[Marta Mrak @MartaMrak]

My first impressions of this hybrid format of @ieeeMMSP workshop 2021 are very good. Looking forward to participating virtually during the rest of the week.

[IEEE MMSP TC @ieeeMMSP]

Opening of the IEEE #MMSP2021 is now on. Our general chairs and the president of @IEEEsps warmly welcome you to the hybrid conference.
