Dear Fellow Scholars, this is Two Minute Papers
with Dr. Károly Zsolnai-Fehér. Today we are going to have a look at this
magical AI from scientists at the Weizmann Institute of Science and NVIDIA which promises
magical video editing powers. So let’s see 4 of my favorite things it
can do together. One, we can take this unremarkable video of
a car passing by, and my goodness, look at that. It has completely revamped the scene: first,
it made sure that it is nighttime, and has given the car a nice neon cyberpunk look. So, this took quite a bit of work for someone,
right? Well, not quite! To achieve this, all we need to do is give
the AI a video and two text prompts. One for the foreground, and one for the background. And if we are looking for an example that
is a little less out there, we can also ask that the car is made rusty instead.
So cool! Two, once again, if we did not show up in
the right outfit for a day, or would like to see what we would look like wearing something
else before buying it, look no more. Yes, this is also just one text prompt away. I particularly like this example because this
outfit has lots of wrinkles and geometry changes, and the new technique can follow them really
well. Now, if you look close, you see that there
is also a price to be paid for this. Look, the new synthesized results are not
as detailed as the original video. Now, we said that it can do foreground and
background editing separately. And that was the foreground. But what about the background? Oh yes, let’s make this environment a little
foggier. Look at that! I love this one. Even the shadows have become foggier. So cool! And, the shadows are even taken away for the
nighttime shot because of the different lighting setup. I would like these results a great deal for
images, but for video? Such an amazing result for video. Wow.
