here's how I optimized video assets on my site... and improved perceived performance: - added a tiny ( ~30px wide ) `base64` encoded blurred inline image for each snippet, rendered as an underneath the video ( renders instantly! ) - moved all the videos to Cloudflare CDN. previously was using Next.js `/public` local path. which was fine when I had only 2-3 videos - added both `.webm` and `.mp4` formats via elements ( .mp4 as fallback in case browser doesn't support )show more

I made a second version! This time, I improved... the opening to make it more eye-catching, added extra padding to the character shots so the video won’t get cropped across different social platforms, and updated the prompt into English. I also improved the canvas workflow. Previously, I had to generate multiple images and videos one by one, then pick the best results. Now the canvas supports generating multiple results in a single run, which has greatly improved my workflow efficiency. Now you only need to swap the image, and the same video prompt can still produce great results. Which anime cosplay should I make next? Full workflow and prompts:show more

NVIDIA just released a very impressive text-to-video paper. Video... Latent Diffusion Models (Video LDMs) use a diffusion model in a compressed latent space to generate high-resolution videos. Here's a brief overview of how it works: 1. Pre-train image LDM on a dataset of images. 2. Turn the image LDM into a Video LDM by adding temporal layers to model video frames. 3. Fine-tune the Video LDM on encoded video sequences to create a video generator. 4. Temporally align diffusion model upsamplers to generate high-resolution videos. 5. Validate Video LDM on real driving videos of 512x1024 resolution, achieving state-of-the-art performance. 6. Apply the approach in creative content creation with text-to-video modeling.

I'm using GPT Image 2 to create a video... concept for a weapon selection screen for CHILD OF THE SOIL. When I initially made the short film I always envisioned this as an open world hack and slash video game inspired by my own continent of Africa. As an avid gamer I wanted to just quickly envision different weapons Nyoni can use as she traverses the world. Of course there is no video game here, it's just a rough idea presented purely as a video. The video sequence is just cycling through 4 different images and I used Seedance 2.0 omni to generate the video. I added music in post. Prompt: A static shot shows a video game menu screen. During the sequence it selects different weapons. It selects all 4 different weapon types. Ensure the item in her hand changes to show the selected item. Every time a weapon is selected she poses and analyzes it. The wooden animal next to her is looking around. Do not change any text. No music, only sound fx when the weapons change. No dialogue.show more
