  • Publication number: 20250259272
    Abstract: The present technology pertains to influencing the blending of two visual media inputs by first receiving them through a prompt editor. A blending interface is presented, displaying at least one frame from each of the first and second input visual media. The blending is adjusted in response to user input by modifying a blend curve that represents the relative influence of the first visual media compared to the second visual media over time.

  • Publication number: 20250260830
    Abstract: The present technology pertains to a visual media generative response engine that can create visual media from prompts. The visual media generative response engine can generate visual media in a variety of durations, aspect ratios, and resolutions. Further, the visual media generative response engine is capable of receiving both visual media and text as prompts. Additionally, the present technology pertains to a variety of user interfaces to enable more influence over the output of the visual media generative response engine.

  • Publication number: 20250259362
    Abstract: The present technology pertains to a prompt editor for use with a visual media generative response engine, where a user inputs a text prompt describing visual media to be generated by the visual media generative response engine. Upon receiving a command to generate the visual media, the present technology determines at least one of the duration, resolution, or aspect ratio for the media prior to generation. The visual media generative response engine creates the visual media based on the input prompt and the specified and determined characteristics. The generated visual media is received having the specified attributes.

  • Publication number: 20250259361
    Abstract: The present technology pertains to presenting a storyboard user interface that includes a visual media timeline and a representation of a first frame on the timeline along with a prompt to generate visual media. The input prompt is then sent to a visual media generative response engine, which generates output visual media in response to the input prompt.

  • Patent number: 11762951
    Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for generative image congealing which provides an unsupervised learning technique that learns transformations of real data to improve the image quality of GANs trained using that image data. In particular, in one or more embodiments, the disclosed systems and methods comprise generating, by a spatial transformer network, an aligned real image for a real image from an unaligned real dataset, providing, by the spatial transformer network, the aligned real image to an adversarial discrimination network to determine if the aligned real image resembles aligned synthetic images generated by a generator network, and training, by a training manager, the spatial transformer network to learn updated transformations based on the determination of the adversarial discrimination network.
