AI video is quickly replacing traditional video editors and video creators that video and film creators use today. With AI video, creators can pull together a video from text, existing video clips, blog articles and pretty much any data, automatically to create videos. This process all enabled and orchestrated by artificial intelligence.
Just as we are seeing with the recent rise of Chat GPT, AI video will no doubt play an important role in the future of media creation and consumption both for media organizations but also for businesses.
What exactly is AI video?
AI video is cutting edge technology that enables digital content creators to generate different types of media (voice, images, video, text) using a web browser. AI video removes the need to go onsite with expensive production equipment and all the time needed to get a video right in post production.
AI video is also known as AI Generation, Generative Media and Synthetic Media, which basically means that the video content is created by software vs traditional media which is human shot (filmed) and edited video. So AI video is posed to replace filming and editing video altogether.
