Video Editing, enhance by AI


 


AI can be used in video editing to perform various tasks that would otherwise require a lot of manual work and expertise. Some of the ways in which AI can transform the video editing process are:


- Automated Video Editing: AI-powered video editing tools use algorithms that automatically identify and extract the most relevant parts of raw footage, such as objects, people, and backgrounds. Once the relevant parts are identified, the AI algorithms can also automatically assemble the footage into a coherent and engaging video. This can save a lot of time and effort for video editors who need to sift through hours of footage and make creative decisions. 

- Facial Recognition: AI can also use facial recognition technology to detect and track the faces of people in videos. This can enable video editors to apply various effects and adjustments to specific faces, such as changing expressions, swapping faces, or adding digital makeup. Facial recognition can also help with lip-syncing, as AI can match the mouth movements of a person to the audio track. 

- Color Correction: AI can also help with colour correction, which is the process of adjusting the colours and tones of a video to make it look more natural and consistent. AI can analyse the colours of different scenes and shots and automatically apply the appropriate adjustments to balance them. AI can also suggest optimal colour settings based on the mood and genre of the video.  

- Audio Editing: AI can also assist with audio editing, which is the process of enhancing and modifying the sound quality and effects of a video. AI can use speech-to-text transcription to generate captions and subtitles for videos. AI can also use text-to-speech synthesis to generate realistic voices for characters or narrators. AI can also use sound recognition to identify and remove unwanted noises or add sound effects. 

- Object and Scene Recognition: AI can also use object and scene recognition technology to identify and classify the different elements in a video, such as animals, vehicles, buildings, landscapes, etc. This can help video editors to apply filters, effects, or animations to specific objects or scenes. For example, AI can add rain or snow to a scene, or make an object disappear or explode. 

- Video Stabilisation: AI can also help with video stabilisation, which is the process of reducing or eliminating camera shake or motion blur in videos. AI can analyse the motion of the camera and the objects in the video and apply corrections to smooth out the movements and make the video more stable and clear. This can improve the quality and professionalism of videos shot with handheld devices or drones. 

- Auto Reframe: AI can also help with auto reframe, which is the process of changing the aspect ratio of a video to fit different platforms or devices. For example, a horizontal 16:9 video may need to be converted into a vertical 9:16 video for social media platforms like Instagram or TikTok. AI can automatically identify the focal point of action in each shot and keep it visible as it changes the aspect ratio. This can save video editors from having to manually adjust each shot and keyframe motion edits. 


AI is changing the game for film and video creation by making it faster and easier to organise clips and craft perfect edits. Whether you work on short social videos or feature-length films, AI functionality will shave time off your editing process and open the door to new creative possibilities.

The Whispers in the Machine: Why Prompt Injection Remains a Persistent Threat to LLMs

 Large Language Models (LLMs) are rapidly transforming how we interact with technology, offering incredible potential for tasks ranging from content creation to complex analysis. However, as these powerful tools become more integrated into our lives, so too do the novel security challenges they present. Among these, prompt injection attacks stand out as a particularly persistent and evolving threat. These attacks, as one recent paper (Safety at Scale: A Comprehensive Survey of Large Model Safety https://arxiv.org/abs/2502.05206) highlights, involve subtly manipulating LLMs to deviate from their intended purpose, and the methods are becoming increasingly sophisticated. At its core, a prompt injection attack involves embedding a malicious instruction within an otherwise normal request, tricking the LLM into producing unintended – and potentially harmful – outputs. Think of it as slipping a secret, contradictory instruction into a seemingly harmless conversation. What makes prompt inj...

AI Agents and the Latest Silicon Valley Hype

In what appears to be yet another grandiose proclamation from the tech industry, Google has released a whitepaper extolling the virtues of what they're calling "Generative AI agents". (https://www.aibase.com/news/14498) Whilst the basic premise—distinguishing between AI models and agents—holds water, one must approach these sweeping claims with considerable caution. Let's begin with the fundamentals. Yes, AI models like Large Language Models do indeed process information and generate outputs. That much isn't controversial. However, the leap from these essentially sophisticated pattern-matching systems to autonomous "agents" requires rather more scrutiny than the tech evangelists would have us believe. The whitepaper's architectural approaches—with their rather grandiose names like "ReAct" and "Tree of Thought"—sound remarkably like repackaged versions of long-standing computer science concepts, dressed up in fashionable AI clot...
