- 01:07 ↗
Microsoft's Mage Flow is a 4-billion parameter image model that can edit existing images, change camera angles, and modify character poses via text prompts.
- 04:20 ↗
ShotPlan is an open-source tool that generates multi-shot videos with precisely timed cuts, crossfades, and camera movements like panning and zooming.
- 06:30 ↗
Homie is a reference-to-video generator capable of preserving complex character and object consistency by utilizing multiple input views.
- 07:35 ↗
Homie supports OCR maps to accurately place and render text on generated 3D objects and characters.
Workflow outlined in the video
- Download the open-source ShotPlan repository from GitHub to run multi-shot video generation locally.
- Define a high-level prompt and write detailed descriptions for each individual shot in your sequence.
- Specify the exact frame numbers where cuts, crossfades, or camera movements should occur.
- Use Homie to maintain character and object consistency by uploading multiple reference angles of your subject.
- Apply an OCR map in Homie if your scene requires precise text rendering on objects or clothing.
