The Best FREE AI Video Generator Just Got BETTER!

[@MrPlasmo]

haha THANKS Tim for the shoutout - the crazy thing about that generation is that Minimax was able to (correctly) predict what was behind my daughter's painting (a black oven) - which was not even visible in the original input image! ::mindblown::

[@findmeinthecarpet]

It knows 😳

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

That is CRAZY. I also think it’s super cheeky of Minimax to have your daughter flip the painting as opposed to animating what is already there. Almost like MM was like, “that’s too much work, I know what I can do!” Great generation though, and such and excellent and creative idea! Your daughter’s painting is great as well!

[@MrPlasmo]

@@TheoreticallyMediaagree. As an aside I actuallly was hoping that mm would animate the painting she was holding, and even tried several times to make additional generations (with prompt this time trying to animate the painting)… but it wouldn’t do it (only tried about 6 times)

Amazing how quickly we are approaching the minor nitpick stage of AI video generator reviews.

[@danielschweig3177]

🔥 A hot tip: 🔥 If you want to animate your own image, then animate it and take a screenshot of the last frame of the video. Scale up the screenshot and animate the image again. This gives you a clean flow and allows you to produce longer videos if you want to create a film.

[@IIIIIOIIIIII]

What about the prompt? Make a new one, use the original one, or leave it blank?

[@danielschweig3177]

@@IIIIIOIIIIII Since it will then be a new scene, you will of course have to enter a new prompt. However, I usually only change the part of the prompt that the character does. Of course you can leave all other settings such as “light”, “atmosphere”.

The thing about AI is that it lacks consistency from point A to B. Its strenght is precisely its weakness. Too many variables.

[@AIprotopia]

Definitely been waiting for this upgrade. Kinda have a thing for Minimax. Will put it to the grind first thing in the morning. Hopefully, we will come up with something cool. Great video, Tim.

[@bloxyman22]

I feel it is not just the best free one. When it comes to coherency and following prompts even with image 2 video it is a big step ahead. I for example used an image of my cat to create a 5 second clip and then I used the last frame and did it over and over again and yet the cat did not morph to something else like with runway or luma.

[@DiceDecides]

ok the suit guy walking was seriously impressive, I'm so excited to put this to the test. Finally we have image to video in a semi-decent model.

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

It's funny, one of the reasons I do the "guy in a blue business suit" test in most of these videos is because it's kind of a "bland" example. But, I think it's a great showcase of what these models can do as a baseline. Stuff like "Super Sci-fi Adventure with Zombies and Hot Women With Laser Katanas" is great and all-- but, if the model can't handle a guy walking down a street, it probably isn't going to do that Sci-Fi epic very well!

[@chariots8x230]

[@meikmeiker2615]

Its not only the best free option now. I am impressed how minimax understands and implements the images without text

[@HostileRespite]

I think the next level for these generators will be to create their scenes in fully formed 3d assets to maintain 100% consistency and physics fidelity. The current 2d techniques would be used post "production" to polish the 3d modeled outcome to a photoreal finished product.

[@lzmihich]

you are so right about Minimax being the most impressive and low-cost (so far) video generator, right now!

[@ClaudioMalagrino]

Minimax is in another level. It just needs lip sync and of course a subscription plan to remove the watermark and grant commercial use.

[@pookie67]

I don't mean to pick on Gen-3 either but MiniMax blows it away in many ways. There's just a lot Gen-3 can't do, where Kling and even Luma still can. In fact I'm actually a little disappointed in Runways long in the works Gen3, especially using their own generator which is pretty terrible much of the time. Luma needs an upgrade though, I swear they were producing slightly better results when they first launched at least in terms of speed, they've taken a small step back with their last update. Pika's update is,..interesting but not up to par, not even close. MiniMax and Kling are by far the leaders, thank God for the Chinese though Kling is INSANELY expensive and I fear MiniMax will be as well once they go to pay. They will have the last laugh when they drain our wallets

I've had those same issues with Gen 3 img2vid where it completely loses the style. It seems to work better for landscapes. After playing around with minimax img2vid I think it's better than Runway's, but Kling 1.5 is still king. It keeps surprising me with how well it understands the prompt and maintains the same style.

[@TheDandonian]

Been playing with it quite a lot these last few days and was begging for the image to video to release. Tonight is gonna be fun :)

@@TheoreticallyMedia Yeah thanks, makes sense. I did 24 videos yesterday, out of the 24, maybe 12 seconds worth of decent footage (being picky).

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

So, to be honest, I try to avoid doing those "shootout" and "this killed this" kind of videos. I know those things tend to get big numbers on YT, but I also think they can skew perspective depending on what is being tested. I feel like all of them excel at certain things-- and if there's one thing I've learned from doing these videos, it's that any one of them are capable of flipping the table with one update. All that said, you did get me thinking about maybe doing a video showcasing what each one of them is great at. THAT might be an interesting video-- and kind of a positive spin on the whole thing!

When you take a photograph of a human, there is no way to prevent people from duplicating your work if they had the same model, setting, so forth. But when you draw, your art style is uniquely yours.

I know, it’s funny we’ve (the secret AI YT Illuminati of “The Matts” and a handful of others) have talked about that. The downside for me comes down to media management. I shoot/edit these things fast, and slugging around 4k files tends to gum stuff up. Plus, it would also require upscaling all the example video as well. So…yeah, that would slow me down a ton.

Black Forest Labs coming in with AI video pretty soon. Your time is near! (To be fair as well, a lot of these AI video companies are not very big either. I think Minimax is around 7 people. Granted, the “big guns” are starting to muscle into the space; re: Meta. So, I get that part as well. I’m actually not overly thrilled about that either.)

[@shadyendeavor]

@@TheoreticallyMedia It's backed by Alibaba group for over $600 million along with 8 other large Chinese corporations and Venture Capitals. So no, it's not small time. And it actually shows that MiniMax AI currently has around 100 employees.

thank you very much , Thank you for all the explanations

[@alexbusoni]

The neural network doesn’t think that you need to spin the wheels of passing cars!?)))

[@rambomill9425]

Hey is there a prompt that you could send me via comments that i could use to help keep my characters in my AI content consistent?😮

[@Zerobytexai]

Not sure why you say this is only the best FREE generator. Its better than even other paid generators lol

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

Haha- fair point!

[@Zerobytexai]

@@TheoreticallyMedia I appreciate your mellow response to critical comments lol I'm usually kind of hard on you. Thank you for being a good sport

[@jaymethodus3421]

That ish is crazy. Gonna check out your model

[@toobadfighter2867]

In your opinion, what is better in the AI ​​film industry, writing a script by myself or asking ChatGPT to write it for me?

[@virgilxavier1]

There may continue to be minor imperfections but I'm hoping we will reach the point where just like CGI the average viewer goes "well duh it's AI I'm still entertained". I feel a lot of the anxiety now ceners around an anti AI social media glhare mob that will attack something that is actually perfect just because they know that it has to be AI because anything else would have required way too much work

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

Totally agree. Actually, a big push I'm making is to stop calling them AI Films. Just call them Films...movies, shows, whatever. No one ever says "hey, did you see the new CGI Animated Film from Pixar?" I'm probably too early on that, but-- I mean, someone has to start. As far as the anxiety and fear go-- I'm totally sympathetic to it. That said, I don't see jobs going anywhere. There will still be the studio heads at the top that get paid their stupidly high salaries, and a bunch of creatives making far less doing the work. AI might make that work a little easier, and that's a good thing. Ultimately, the problems in creative fields (ahem, Hollywood) is far more complex and rooted in outdated systems that AI isn't actually the cause of. But, that's a whole other topic... As far as the mob mentality-- eh, whatever. The mob is just as likely to complain about AI as they are the CGI in the latest Marvel movie. Mobs are gonna mob.

even kling is taking a lot longer now to generate. earlier it was like 10 mins. now more people are using it. its taking a while. like 2 days or more.

[@similarvideo]

So cool this video generator 😊

[@todaychange5-7783]

It's not perfect but its FREE for now. Milk that cows adder before they put a price on it

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

I love the golden era of any all you can eat generation! Just…avoid the shrimp!

[@NasrinsLifestyleVlog25]

You should try deep live cam

[@music_creator_capable]

It's real but not real. Fantastic!

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

I think it does REALLY well with those stylized/animated looks!

[@music_creator_capable]

I think the same!
