Lumiere - Google Research

Introducing Lumiere by Google Research - a groundbreaking video generation model for realistic motion synthesis! 🌟✨ Easily create captivating videos and cinemagraphs, while safeguarding against misuse with built-in tools. #AI #videoediting #GoogleResearch

A new video generation model called Lumiere is designed for realistic and coherent motion synthesis.
Lumiere uses a Space-Time U-Net architecture to generate the entire video's temporal duration at once.
The model directly generates full-frame-rate, low-resolution videos by processing them in multiple space-time scales.
State-of-the-art text-to-video generation results are demonstrated with Lumiere.
Lumiere enables consistent video editing through off-the-shelf text-based image editing methods.
The model can animate specific regions of an image, creating cinemagraphs.
Lumiere facilitates video inpainting tasks, producing outputs like wearing different dresses, accessories, or engaging in various activities.
Authors of the Lumiere model include Omer Bar-Tal, Hila Chefer, Omer Tov, and other collaborators from Google Research and other institutions.
The work emphasizes helping novice users create visual content creatively but acknowledges the risk of misuse for creating fake or harmful content.
Tools and measures are proposed to detect biases and prevent malicious use of the technology for a safe and fair user experience.
