1440*2 different pre-rendered videos I assume.

Both videos are the full trailer, and still work after the minute is over.
Why is this called Matrix 4 when there is only one Matrix movie?
Each segment of the trailer is a different MP4. They are all hosted on the AWS CloudFront CDN. My guess is, like somebody stated, they pre-rendered many videos, and use a lambda at the edge to decode a GUID in the URL into a S3 path.
We're not far from emotive TTS + photo realistic rendering in a real time engine, potentially with neurally generated models to match real time events or camera input.
Matrix 5 will be this, but you'll be in the trailer, and it'll reference real world events. And that's just the start.
The future of audio and video is going to be crazy.
Who had the Matrix screen saver back in the day? I was in an open plan office at the time of about 30 desks. Every single one of the machines had this screen saver running.
I've tried all the new ones and haven't found any that seem half-decent. Anyone know of any advancements in this sector?

i think its interesting that they chose the pre-rendered approach to this. pre-rendered and FMV is a very interesting space right now. there seems to be a revival stirring. take for example "at dead of night." its a horror game thats pre-rendered and uses FMV and does it perfectly to stunning effect. people liked it, markipliers lets play got something like 7M views IIRC. and the previous game by that same person was a full FMV murder mystery game and it is very compelling indeed. nobody has seen these concepts fleshed out in the modern world where storage is dirt cheap and video games are taken seriously. new life is going to be breathed into these concepts and i think it will be very exciting.
this is barely interesting. It better be worth it or movies will be officially finished for me. feels like we re in a 20 year cultural swamp.
It's 07:45 PM? Oh, that's 19:45, cool. Kind of breaks the effect a bit for those of used to a 24 hour clock.

They probably used concatenative audio rendering since the digits are tractable to get the actor to record. (Probably just on the borderline in terms of effort for now.) But can you imagine when they are able to use real time text to speech with high fidelity?

Earlier quoted context omitted.
Just shooting from the hip, but streaming videos are all done as short 1-5 second chunks that are all listed in a playlist. They could have specific versions of the hour:minute with a specific playlist that includes the correct segment. When you click, the time is checked and the correct playlist is sent down the wire. Edit: I opened up the dev tools, and did not see the typical HLS style segments. I saw several MP4…
Not that many chunks, looks like the entire video is re-generated. My browser fetched https://thechoiceisyours.whatisthematrix.com/generated/v7/hi... which is for 1:54.
