Vimeo joins YouTube and TikTok in launching new AI content labels | TechCrunch
Vimeo joins companies TikTok, YouTube, and Meta in implementing a way for creators to label AI-generated content. The video hosting service announced on Wednesday that creators must now disclose to viewers when realistic content is created with AI. The new updates to Vimeo's terms of service and community guidelines ensure that videos that are AI-generated, synthetically created, or manipulated aren't mistaken for real people, places, or events. This is a notable move for Vimeo as it has become increasingly difficult to distinguish between real and fake content created by advancing generative AI tools. Vimeo doesn't require creators to disclose content that is clearly unrealistic, such as animated content, videos with obvious visual effects, or uses AI for minor production assistance. However, videos that portray a celebrity saying or doing something they didn't do in real life or show altered footage of an actual event or place should have an AI content label. Additionally, the company said that AI content labels will appear on videos that use Vimeo's set of AI tools, such as a tool that can delete long pauses and disruptions in speech. A distinct label now appears at the bottom of the video, indicating that the creators voluntarily disclosed their use of AI. When uploading or editing a video, creators can select a checkbox for AI-generated content and specify whether AI was used for audio, visuals, or both. Vimeo is currently leaving it up to the creators to label their AI-generated content. However, the company is working on an automated system that detects AI and labels the appropriate content. In an official blog post, CEO Philip Moyer wrote, "Our long-term goal is to develop automated labeling systems that can reliably detect AI-generated content, further enhancing transparency and reducing the burden on creators." Moyer, who only just joined this past April, has previously spoken about Vimeo's stance on AI. In another blog post, he told users that Vimeo is protecting user-generated content from AI companies by prohibiting generative AI models from being trained on videos hosted on the platform. Similarly, YouTube's Neal Mohan has explicitly stated that using videos on the platform to train models -- including OpenAI's Sora -- is a violation of its terms of service.

This AI movie camera transforms films into whatever you can imagine
Artificial intelligence to produce videos has become increasingly popular thanks to tools like Sora, Runway, and Pika. But, a new AI-augmented film camera has taken the idea to the next level. Creative technology agency SpecialGuestX and mixed-media production house 1stAveMachine have debuted the CMR-M1 to tackle that goal. The result is a camera that doesn't just film the world around it; it enhances it using a generative AI video-to-video model. The digital film is sent to the cloud, where a Stable Diffusion-based model transforms them. Furthermore, the AI can also link with other APIs to further play with what it can do to the film. "We believe that movie creation is inherently physical. Filmmakers are used to using cameras, lenses, tripods, lighting, and that AI has to be a new tool that enhances creativity," said Miguel Espada, Co-founder and Executive Creative Technologist of SpecialGuestX. "In the spirit of creative experimentation, we designed a camera that serves as a physical interface to AI models." The camera features a wheel on the side of the case, allowing operators to transition from real to AI-generated overlays smoothly. There's even a slot for a style card containing an NFC chip that connects to the user's model trained with their images and personalized prompts. Though it's not a real-time setup due to latency, models in development like StreamDiffusion could make that a reality. There are currently five different filters through which the film runs, including the jungle-infused "Blooming Nature" and the tuxedos and gold of "Old Money." You can see an example of "Old Money" below. The CMR-M1 is currently a prototype and not intended for commercial release. It is part of SpecialGuestX's research into creating physical interfaces for generative AI. However, the design of the CMR-M1 has been developed with scalability in mind, allowing for potential commercial production in the future. CMR-M1, which stands for the somewhat basic name Camera Model 1, deliberately tries to invoke the dawn of film in its look. The camera has a design reminiscent of the 1924 Cine-Kodak camera, one of the first and most popular portable 16mm cameras. "Sometimes to imagine what the future might be like you have to prototype it. This is especially the case when it comes to filmmaking, creative technologies, and the creative community," expressed Aaron Duffy, Founder & Executive Creative Director of SpecialGuest. "The CMR-M1 is a prototype for how hands on creators will use AI rather than sitting at a keyboard." Whether CMR M1 will have an impact on the greater world of film is hard to say. More immediate is the question of whether it will open a new lane of competition among AI video model developers like Runway and its new Gen-3 Alpha, OpenAI and its Sora model, and the efforts by Pika and Luma Labs. The inclusion of open-source models from Stability AI suggests that kind of access may play a significant role in the evolution of AI videos, though what's on the final reel in the competition is still very much a cliffhanger.

Topaz Labs' Cinema-Grade Video AI Pro Platform Upscales, Smooths, and Stabilizes Footage
Topaz Labs, known for its AI-powered photo editing tools, like Photo AI 3 and Gigapixel 7, has launched Video AI Pro, what it calls "the first commercially available AI video enhancement tool for enterprise creative teams." Available in three tiers, Video AI Pro builds upon Topaz Labs' Video AI platform, which uses proprietary artificial intelligence to upscale video up to 16K resolution, denoise footage, and create new frames to create slow-motion footage from normal-speed video. Video AI can also recognize specific faces in videos, help match footage from cameras operating at different frame rates, and stabilize footage based on subject detection. Video AI Pro takes things even further, allowing video to be upscaled to 24K resolution thanks to the ability to utilize multiple GPUs. "Video AI Pro builds on Topaz Labs' pioneering, proprietary Video AI tool, which is trained on millions of frames to upscale, stabilize, and denoise content," explains Topaz Labs. "The new solution specifically maximizes throughput on multi-GPU systems from graphics processors by AMD, Apple, Intel and Nvidia to achieve speeds at two, three, ten times faster and beyond. Coupling unparalleled enhancing with unrivaled speed, Video AI Pro fills a gap in the growing demand for enterprise-ready AI tools not currently on the market today." Importantly, especially for creative professionals, Video AI Pro uses AI models that run entirely offline with local processing, so media is always secure. Further, content editing using Video AI Pro is not used for any AI model training and never leaves an organization's servers. The platform can be deployed on-location using a local render farm, or run within an AWS Outpost, which Topaz Labs says promises "an optimal blend of security and access." Further, users can render in parallel, sending different files to each available GPU, or work faster by splitting a single file across multiple GPUs. Video AI Pro is designed for high-end cinematic productions, so organizations have a license to use its output in movie theaters, premium streaming services, or broadcast television. Customers retain full ownership of all media processed through the AI platform. "With concerns of AI threatening creatives in the entertainment industry, enhancement teams need tools that both empower them to improve quality in ways previously impossible, and maintain fidelity to the studio's original artistic vision," says Topaz Labs CEO Eric Yang. "Since our first AI model in 2018, Topaz Labs championed the belief that AI should enhance, not replace, creatives' existing work. With Video AI Pro, large post-production teams can upscale and refine feature-length films more quickly and effectively than ever before," Yang continues. While Video AI starts at $299, Video AI Pro comes in at a much higher price tag. Individual entry-level packages start at $1,099. For organizations with five to 10 users, the price jumps to $4,999 and adds administrative and permission controls. Larger teams can work directly with Topaz Labs to develop custom models and workflows, with pricing determined based on the specific requirements.
