00:00Have you ever stumbled across a tool or gadget that made you wonder what were
00:06they thinking? Well let me introduce you to Microsoft's latest invention, a new AI
00:11called Pix2 GIF, claiming it can transform still images into GIFs. Utilizing
00:17what they call a diffusion model, it's supposed to add a dash of motion to your
00:21otherwise motionless photos. The creators at Microsoft's research team claim this
00:25tool can animate images by following a text prompt you provide. For example, feed
00:30it a picture of a train right moving on the tracks and now you're supposed to get
00:33a GIF of the train chugging along, except it's a two-second GIF we're talking about
00:37so don't expect your train to travel very far. This is supposed to be a
00:41revolutionary step in combining images, videos, and 3D models into something new
00:46and exciting. Spoiler alert, it's not! Now if you're wondering how to get your hands on
00:52this groundbreaking tool, don't worry. There is a way! Many of the latest AI
00:57models, including this one from Microsoft, are more experimental projects than
01:02ready-to-use products that you might find integrated into something like Copilot.
01:07However, you do have the option to test it out for yourself as the code is
01:11available for download. This means you can set it up to run right on your own
01:14laptop. For now, the best way is to use the test environment where you can give it
01:18an image, a text prompt, and get a GIF. Creating a two-second GIF from a still
01:23image generally takes about a minute, but if your computer is equipped with a
01:26powerful GPU, you might see that time decrease significantly. But what can you
01:31actually do with Pix2GIF, aside from creating jittery images? The potential
01:35applications, they say, span from adding simple animations to images to possibly
01:40editing GIFs in the future. Imagine tweaking your digital art with a few clicks,
01:45bringing static scenes to life. Sounds cool! Until you remember we have
01:48video technology for that. To whip up this AI, the team fed it a diet of 100,000
01:55GIFs, complete with captions to teach it the ropes of animation. The source of these
01:59GIFs remains a mystery, shrouded in the secrecy typical of such experimental
02:03projects. Perhaps it's for the best, considering the results might not always
02:07hit the mark. In the end, Pix2GIF stands as a testament to Microsoft's
02:11adventurous spirit in the AI landscape. A tool that, while intriguing, might leave you
02:17wondering if it's more of a quirky toy than a useful instrument. Will it change
02:21the way we interact with images? Doubtful. But it's a reminder that in the realm of
02:25technology, not all that glitters is gold. And sometimes the chase for innovation
02:30leads us down paths better left untraveled. As for me, I'll stick to the
02:34good old-fashioned methods of animation, where the results are predictable and the
02:38excitement is genuine. Microsoft, it's back to the drawing board with this one.
02:42Now, let's look at something a bit more promising from Tencent. They've come up
02:46with their own twist in the AI arena with a tool called Follow Your Click,
02:50working alongside some big university names. This new tool is stepping into the
02:55spotlight, offering a different way to bring pictures to life. Released on GitHub,
03:00Follow Your Click offers a fresh take on animating images. Users can now animate
03:05parts of a picture with just a click and a simple text prompt, transforming the
03:10stillness into motion. This is a big deal, because unlike previous tools that would
03:15animate the whole scene, this one lets you focus on just the bits you want to move.
03:19Want a bird to flap its wings? Just click and type, flap the wings. And you've got a
03:25video of a rainbow bird doing exactly that. Its simplicity and precision rolled
03:30into one. This tool stands out not just for its user-friendly interface, but also for
03:35the collaboration behind it. Tencent's team joined forces with researchers from the Hong Kong
03:40University of Science and Technology and Tsinghua University, one of mainland China's most
03:45prestigious institutions. Video generation, a domain once dominated by Silicon Valley's brightest,
03:51is now a global playground with newcomers like Pika Labs and stalwarts like Alibaba entering the fray
03:57with their own unique offerings. Tencent's Follow Your Click alongside its Video Crafter 2 Toolkit
04:03signals a broader shift towards more nuanced and user-controlled AI video generation.
04:08In contrast to Microsoft's Pix2 GIF, which despite its potential seems more like a proof of concept
04:14than a tool ready for the limelight, Follow Your Click feels like a more polished and practical application.
04:20It's not just about adding a dash of motion to images, it's about unlocking a new realm of creativity
04:26and expression in video generation. Alright, don't forget to hit that subscribe button for more updates.
04:31Thanks for tuning in and we'll catch you in the next one.
