Make-A-Video

Make-A-Video research builds on the recent progress made in text-to-image generation technology built to enable text-to-video generation. The system uses images with descriptions to learn what the world looks like and how it is often described. It also uses unlabeled videos to learn how the world moves. With this data, Make-A-Video lets you bring your imagination to life by generating whimsical, one-of-a-kind videos with just a few words or lines of text.

Advancing AI responsibly

Meta AI is committed to developing responsible AI and ensuring the safe use of this state-of-the-art video technology. Our research takes the following steps to reduce the creation of harmful, biased, or misleading content.

Source Data

This technology analyzes millions of pieces of data to learn about the world. As a way to reduce the risk of harmful content being generated, we examine, applied, and iterated on filters to reduce the potential for harmful content to surface in videos.

Identifying as AI-generated content

Since Make-A-Video can create content that looks realistic, we add a watermark to all videos we generate. This will help ensure viewers know the video was generated with AI and is not a captured video.

A Work-in-Progress

Our goal is to eventually make this technology available to the public, but for now we will continue to analyze, test, and trial Make-A-Video to ensure that each step of release is safe and intentional.
