As you’ve likely heard me say, I’ve gotten psyched up too many times about AI video-editing tech that fell short of its ambitions—but I’m hoping that this work from Adobe & Harvard collaborators can deliver what it describes:
We present Vidmento, an interactive video authoring tool that expands initial materials and ideas into compelling video stories through blending captured and generative media. To preserve narrative continuity and creative intent, Vidmento generates contextual clips that align with the user’s existing footage and story.
Per the site, Vidmento should enable:
- Story Discovery: Surface the stories within captured clips.
- Narrative Development: Suggest what’s needed to move the story forward.
- Contextual Blending: Generating visuals that align with real footage.
- Creative Control: Give creators controls to fine-tune the visuals and story.
