Attention, Magix Vegas developers! Have you seen Adobe Premiere's new AI-powered feature that can extend video clips? This tool creates new frames that seamlessly match the original content.
Wouldn't it be fantastic to see a similar feature implemented in Vegas? Imagine the possibilities for creating smoother transitions, filling gaps, or even generating additional content. Let's start a discussion about bringing this innovative technology to Magix Vegas!
Now if Magix had the billions that Adobe has, yeah.... but Magix doesn't. And there would have to be a huge amount of money for R&D to make this happen, along with a continual cash flow to keep it improving.
Are there any licensable Ai tools like this?
Implementing an AI-powered video extension tool in Magix Vegas is an ambitious goal, but certainly not an impossible one.
On one hand, it's true that developing this technology requires a significant investment. However, the current market offers numerous AI solutions that could be adapted to our needs. Collaborating with these companies would allow us to accelerate the process and reduce costs.
On the other hand, we shouldn't underestimate the value of our user community. The involvement of independent developers and small businesses could enrich the Vegas ecosystem and offer innovative solutions.
I believe a combination of both strategies, that is, leveraging existing solutions and fostering collaboration, would enable us to achieve our goal more efficiently and quickly.
By working together, we can bring this exciting feature to Magix Vegas and empower users to create even more amazing content.
In addition, remember that a few months ago, we saw implementations in Vegas that seemed impossible. If that was achieved, I am sure that a video extension function with AI is also available.
It does look very good from the examples given on Premier's website, but there are some limitations to it at the moment (it is a beta after all):
Things to remember
Generative Extend currently has some limitations that must be taken into account to ensure optimal results.
Frame size : The resolution of the video should be 1920x1080 or 1280x720.
Currently, vertical video or other aspect ratios are not supported. We are considering this for future feature updates.
You can increase the length. Video can be increased up to 2 seconds, audio up to 10 seconds.
Frame Rate : The creation extension requires clips with a frame rate of 12 to 30 fps.
Bit Depth: Currently 8-bit SDR clips are supported.
Location of Generated Media: You can set the location of generated assets in the File > Project Settings > Scratch Disks section.
In the guide for this feature:
Alert: An internet connection is required to access Generative Extend as it utilizes a cloud AI model.
If Ai keeps ever expanding - as it probably will - some large companies using extensive AI features via the cloud might have to consider the power source for powering their cloud technology, Microsoft is considering re-activating a Three Mile Island reactor to power its AI. Also, NVIDIA recently mentioned nuclear power as possibly being needed to power data centres in the future. Until recently, I hadn't realised how power-hungry AI is.
I am in the minority here, but I would prefer Magix to focus on several core features that are still quite lack luster in Vegas Pro instead of getting further on the AI bandwagon. We still do not have an updated titles and text tool, and we are still unable to save a preset that retains our own keyframe data.
If we want Magix to start pursuing what other editors like Adobe and Resolve can do, I think it would be a much more effective investment to bring the software completely up to date with the core functionality like that instead of pursuing more and more AI implementation that, like @Dexcon noted, is extremely power intensive on a scale that exceeds most towns if not cities.
@SnarfConsortium I am in agreement with you. Pursuing what others are doing while leaving core features by the side and not fully developed (text editor, Magic Mask 2.0, etc) is something I am not for. I would rather have a stable, fully functioning editor where all its tools work as intended.
I am not totally dismissing AI, but let's get the core things working properly first.
If Magix have all of the money, I would rather them rebuilt VEGAS from ground zero and port it to MacOS.
I appreciate the thoughtful feedback and concerns raised about the potential impact of AI-powered features on core functionality. It's important to strike a balance between innovation and stability.
While AI offers exciting possibilities, it's crucial to prioritize the core features that make Vegas Pro a powerful and reliable video editing tool. Addressing issues like the text editor, Magic Mask 2.0, and preset saving is essential for a seamless user experience.
However, I believe that AI can be integrated strategically to enhance, rather than hinder, the core functionality. For example, AI-powered tools can be used to automate repetitive tasks, improve performance, and even assist in creative processes.
It's also worth noting that many AI tools are becoming increasingly accessible and cost-effective. By leveraging these technologies, Magix can offer innovative features without compromising on core development.
Ultimately, the goal should be to create a video editing software that empowers users with both powerful tools and intelligent automation. By carefully considering the potential benefits and drawbacks of AI, we can ensure that Vegas Pro continues to evolve in a way that meets the needs of its users.
@mamomo, you mention AI for automated tasks. Have you READ what is coming soon? Vegas also has several AI/ML tools already. But again, for me, core features working as they should, should be done first. Of course, I am sure that the Vegas developers aren't excluding AI and future integration. It comes down to financial and manpower resources. What do prioritize.
