I'm waiting for the day when I can input pages of manga and previous anime episodes with voice actors and soundtrack and sound effects and have it spit out new episodes of that anime with the original voice actors all based on the new chapters of manga that I scan in.

[@criticalme1878]

At 7:04 the voice says to check or search Aros in the voice library for other voices. How do you do this to find other voices to use. ( Just getting started with my education to AI ) Thank you.

[@AdamIverson]

I'm not sure if Hedra is based on Hallo, but I've been experimenting with Hallo recently. The result is kind of mixed bag. It has potential, but there's a lot of issue that needs to be fix. Whenever I put green chromakey in the background, it immediately deteriorate and becomes unusable. The mouth movement gets weird sometime and it really depends on what photo you use. While technically unlimited length, the longer it renders, the more it gets messed up. It's promising, I'm hoping to see an improvement soon, but it's a great start.

[@theAIsearch]

very interesting! thanks for sharing

[@timseguine2]

In all of these models so far, the teeth change shape and size when they are talking. To me it is both extremely obvious and super creepy. Especially when coupled with these voices that are also slightly the wrong side of the uncanny valley.

[@marksutherland774]

A year ago this was not possible, of course there are issues, it's very easy to criticise, can you develop anything remotely close to this ? NO. You clearly do not understand the complexity of all the movements. Take the teeth you harp on about. The AI has to basically guess, because it has nothing to go on, so when the mouth moves it has to predict where and how the teeth look, not easy. Be thankful you can even access this and I'll tell you the only reason you can, to improve and train the AI. The tech, be it animation, music is being fine tuned, that's requires vast amounts of data, we basically provide that data by using it. Once they have the data and some huge coporate body buys it, you're not getting anywhere close to it. Do you seriously think movie studios will allow ordinary people to make decent films and take away their revenue. They will wait til the tech is mature and buy it, same for music etc enjoy it while you can and quite money because in 5 years then you'll really have a reason to moan.

[@timseguine2]

@@marksutherland774 Since when is criticism not allowed? Get off your high horse. It is possible to find something impressive and at the exact same time find fault with it. Fun fact: Mentioning something one single time is not "harping on" about it. Won't go into the rest of anything you said because you assume like 1000 things about me that are first: not true, and second: even if they were you would have no way to know that they were anyway. For what it is worth, I work in AI tech, but that is actually irrelevant to this conversation and also none of your damn business. Or do you find being ridiculously rude and disrespectful to someone you know literally nothing about for making a benign comment appropriate behavior for an adult to have? I certainly don't. Have a good long think about what has happened in your life to make you think it was ever appropriate to write a comment like that to someone. Don't bother responding. I already muted you.

@@NoidoDev He said he works in AI, up to anyone if they believe that or not of course. So if that's true, he'll be fully aware of how it works and the complexity of animating a still object with it. Essentially the AI has to be like a cartoonist and draw out every frame individually, try it, see how not easy it is. Vitriol, no, telling it how it is, yes. He's entitled to his opinion, as I am mine. Indeed there was more "vitriol" in his first post and reply than any of mine.

Great vid man. One quick question, not sure if was this channel? But one AI tool had the ability to upload a sentence or paragraph of text and speech, but change the words slightly. It sounded EXTREMELY GOOD, but quite niche because you could only slightly change. Have you come across this?

please teach us to make 'anime characters with lakers jersey' or any other sport jersey. appreciate your work keep it up.

[@lou7139]

This tech could be great for movies that need to heavily de-age an actor or re-animate a deceased person. Unfortunately it does seem like it will eventually put some vfx teams out of work that accomplish the same thing with 3d models. This tech looks like it is probably 1/100 or 1/1000th the cost of an entire vfx team dedicated to shots involving de-aging or even re-animated deceased actors. Pretty crazy.

[@playthisnote]

You ever thought about if you took a video and ran each frame through this and picked each frame position it would work on video. Well maybe. I guess you may have to run it through a morph type of engine to smooth out conversion. But there’s a better way this would be perhaps kinda resource hungry.

The fact that the image/ visual is square makes it totally unusable for now. This was also the case with the unavailable competitors. (The EMO stuff is still better, but not open to public yet.) To make good videos, you need at least a movie ratio like 16:9.
