The text-to-video tool creates high-quality, 1080p images with sound, Meta says, but there’s no release date. For now, it’s clever marketing to keep up with OpenAI and Google.
Meta is showing off a new AI video generator that could rival OpenAI’s Sora or Google’s Veo.
Meta says Movie Gen can create high-quality (1080p) 16-second videos with sound from a text prompt, though it did not provide a release timeline.
Sora promises 60-second silent clips, while Google touts “over 60-second” clips with Veo but has not specified the audio capabilities. Neither video generator is available yet, though a Veo-powered video background generator is coming to YouTube Shorts later this year.
Movie Gen’s sound capabilities come from a separate AI model, dubbed Movie Gen Audio. It can “follow a text prompt” and create “high-quality cinematic sound effects and music synchronized with the video output”, according to a Meta research paper.
