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.

OpenAI's NSA Appointment Raises Alarming Surveillance Concerns

  The recent appointment of General Paul Nakasone, former head of the National Security Agency (NSA), to OpenAI's board of directors has sparked widespread outrage and concern among privacy advocates and tech enthusiasts alike. Nakasone, who led the NSA from 2018 to 2023, will join OpenAI's Safety and Security Committee, tasked with enhancing AI's role in cybersecurity. However, this move has raised significant red flags, particularly given the NSA's history of mass surveillance and data collection without warrants. Critics, including Edward Snowden, have voiced their concerns that OpenAI's AI capabilities could be leveraged to strengthen the NSA's snooping network, further eroding individual privacy. Snowden has gone so far as to label the appointment a "willful, calculated betrayal of the rights of every person on Earth." The tech community is rightly alarmed, with many drawing parallels to dystopian fiction. The move has also raised questions about ...

What is happening inside of the black box?

  Neel Nanda is involved in Mechanistic Interpretability research at DeepMind, formerly of AnthropicAI, what's fascinating about the research conducted by Nanda is he gets to peer into the Black Box to figure out how different types of AI models work. Anyone concerned with AI should understand how important this is. In this video Nanda discusses some of his findings, including 'induction heads', which turn out to have some vital properties.  Induction heads are a type of attention head that allows a language model to learn long-range dependencies in text. They do this by using a simple algorithm to complete token sequences like [A][B] ... [A] -> [B]. For example, if a model is given the sequence "The cat sat on the mat," it can use induction heads to predict that the word "mat" will be followed by the word "the". Induction heads were first discovered in 2022 by a team of researchers at OpenAI. They found that induction heads were present in ...

Prompt Engineering: Expert Tips for a variety of Platforms

  Prompt engineering has become a crucial aspect of harnessing the full potential of AI language models. Both Google and Anthropic have recently released comprehensive guides to help users optimise their prompts for better interactions with their AI tools. What follows is a quick overview of tips drawn from these documents. And to think just a year ago there were countless YouTube videos that were promoting 'Prompt Engineering' as a job that could earn megabucks... The main providers of these 'chatbots' will hopefully get rid of this problem, soon. Currently their interfaces are akin to 1970's command lines, we've seen a regression in UI. Constructing complex prompts should be relegated to Linux lovers. Just a word of caution, even excellent prompts don't stop LLM 'hallucinations'. They can be mitigated against by supplementing a LLM with a RAG, and perhaps by 'Memory Tuning ' as suggested by Lamini (I've not tested this approach yet).  ...
