Google brings its own text-to-video AI tool, “Imagen Video”

Google answers Meta’s “text-to-video AI, the “Make-a-Video,” with its own, the Imagen Video. Researchers at Google Brain, the company’s AI lab, introduced Imagen Video, an AI that can create video clips from text prompts.

The second text-to-video AI comes six months after DALLE-2, a text-to-image generator from OpenAI, and merely a week after Meta announced its “Make-A-Video.”

Google’s Imagen Video can produce videos of 1,280×768 pixels resolution at 24 frames per second of not more than 5.3 seconds. The model takes a description and generates a 16-frame, 3-fps video having 24 x 48-pixel resolution. Then, the system upscales and “predicts” additional frames, producing a 720p video at 24 frames per second.
