Pika

What is Pika
Pika is an AI video generation and editing tool launched by recently popular artificial intelligence startup Pika Labs. This tool can convert any idea into video, and users only need to input text or images to quickly generate 3D animation, anime, cartoon, movie and other style videos. The AI video generation tool was first launched as a beta version in late April 2023 and has been used by over 500000 early users, generating millions of videos every week. However, at present, Pika is still in the process of further improvement, and there is still a certain distance from large-scale investment in a real production environment in practical use.
The main functions of Pika
Text/Image to Video: Simply enter a few lines of text or upload an image to create short, high-quality videos using AI
Video to Video: Transforming existing videos into different styles, including different characters and objects, while maintaining the structure of the video
Video aspect ratio expansion: Expanding the canvas or aspect ratio of the video, such as intelligently converting from a 9:16 vertical screen to a 16:9 landscape screen, AI models will predict content that exceeds the boundaries of the original video
Video content change: AI editing of content or objects in the video frame, such as changing someone’s clothes, adding another character, changing the environment, or adding props
