Fal wants to sell compute, and since they're straggling behind the compute-as-an-API leaders they've attached their cart to the art, image, and video subset of the market. They think they've got a leg up on their model partners. That the foundation model companies will mostly become generic copies of one another, servants of the compute layer. There are so many foundation video models now, and they'll battle it out o…
Call me thick, but it's like back in the day, rich bored person goes to an artist and says "paint me this and that". Except now the "rich" person calls themselves an artist and "actual" artist is replaced by AI contraption that basically regurgitates real artist works. It's kind of comical. But also makes sense. If you wanted e.g. music, you could either look at catalogue of what's out there or try to make your own.…

#33Am I missing a demo video or anything, or is the only way to see it to install and run it? The only thing I'm seeing is the poster image with what I'm assuming is a very cropped image of part of the UI???
Just seeing the interface gives a lot of clues as to potential usability as if it's targeted at novices or hardcore editors. Not being able to see if there's any kind of lag when trying to scrub/navigate the video is also something that tells me if I'm going to get upset with it from being web based or if it feels native.
Just food for thought on what people might be looking for instead of having to install something that might not be right for them.

and you found that link how? am I just missing it in TFA?
Edit: What do the buttons next to the play/pause button do? Typically, I'd expect to frame advance, or jump to next the next clip. I click and see nothing happening. I dropped two images I uploaded into the timeline, yet there's nothing visible in the timeline. The monitor shows something, but nothing in the timeline indicating how the clip fits in the timeline. There's not indication of what the frame size of the timeline is. The images look like they are being stretched/squeezed to fit, but there's also no indication in the media bin about the media like duration/size/etc.
This really feels targeted for people with no previous knowledge of a video editor. It also just has that feel of "do something quick to make a post with it's AI to HN".

Topaz Labs isnt' video generation, it's used for upscaling videos. How in gods name is that a comparable with Pika? What are you talking about? Internet creators are not "everyone". 99% of people aren't going to waste their time setting up ComfyUI instances and screwing with github nodes. As I said, which you haven't disputed, Midjourney's revenue is orders of magnitudes more than any of these tools.
I'm an engineer, filmmaker, and DiT researcher. I know thousands of people in this community and organize local AI film meetups and festivals. I've talked with decision makers from 100 person marketing firms all the way up to Disney execs and the CTO of Pixar. You don't know. Midjourney might have tons of revenue for being the first mover, but they're busy building VR headsets and generative world models for their me…
No, you don't know.
Stable Diffusion came before Midjourney. What first mover advantage?
Flux has been around almost a year, by your reasoning everyone should have switched. They didn't. Everyone who used Midjourney a year ago is still using it.
The Midjourney sub on reddit has 1.6M subs. The Stable Diffusion sub has 600k.
I don't care what AI studios you know want to use. They use Premier Pro. Just like every film school in America does. Despite plenty of open source alternatives.
90% of people don't give a shit about running locally as long as it's high quality, easy to use and not expensive. And that's exactly why Midjourney is dominating.
Oh, and Runway is projecting to hit $150M in ARR this year.

> Stable Diffusion came before Midjourney.
You've got your facts wrong.
> Flux has been around almost a year
It's been around half that time.
And you're also underestimating how many billions of images have been generated with Flux. The marginal cost and value of these models will trend towards zero.
> The Midjourney sub on reddit has 1.6M subs. The Stable Diffusion sub has 600k.
So you're saying that they're within the same order of magnitude?
> I don't care what AI studios you know want to use. They use Premier Pro. Just like every film school in America does. Despite plenty of open source alternatives.
Premiere is local software. There's also Final Cut and lots of other alternatives. They're not using CapCut to edit their films.
We're also super early in this game. You're mentioning 20+ year old mature software.
> 90% of people don't give a shit about running locally as long as it's high quality, easy to use and not expensive.
They absolutely do care.
Right now 9 out of 10 generations are garbage, and that's being generous.
> Oh, and Runway is projecting to hit $150M in ARR this year.
That's a really ambitious target they set for themselves, and I think they're getting ahead of things. The field is full of much better competition now.
They also failed to raise their ambitious last round. They've raised too much and have too high a valuation, meanwhile smaller companies have caught up.

Thanks! Not as a component, but you can clone or copy it and modify as needed.
It's a quite complex UI, so it's not easy to export it as a single component.
