I Can’t Stop Watching Meta’s 4-Second AI Animations
1 min read
Summary
Meta AI has released an animation tool that brings images to life by creating micro-animations in a matter of seconds, focusing on subtle movements to capture a sense of realism.
The tool works by users uploading an image which the AI then analyzes and identifies the subject and background before applying lifelike motion.
It can be used to create looping GIFs or stickers for messaging apps or to add subtle life to avatars or presentations.
The resulting animations are short, typically around four seconds, and while they may lack emotional depth they are compelling and offer a new way of seeing static images.
It also has a tendency to go off the rails and produce sometimes hilariously incorrect results when implementing movements that defy the laws of physics.
