Meta takes on Google, OpenAI with new text to video generation model. Here’s how Movie Gen works

Facebook owner Meta on Friday unveiled a new AI model called Movie Gen that can produce realistic-looking videos using only text prompts. Meta’s announcement comes almost 6 months after OpenAI took the AI industry by storm by unveiling its text-to-video generator, Sora.

Movie Gen can also generate background music and sound effects that are synchronised with the video content. The AI tool can generate up to 16 seconds of video (at 16 frames per second) in various aspect ratios and up to 45 seconds of audio.
