Meta has recently expanded its Expressive Media Universe (EMU) technology to include two new tools focused on image editing and video generation. These new tools, EMU edit and EMU video, provide advanced capabilities for precise and controlled editing, as well as efficient video generation from text descriptions.

The first tool, EMU edit, allows for image editing using text instructions. This generative AI technology follows instructions to modify pixels in the input image without affecting the entire image. It incorporates computer vision tasks as instructions for image generation models, improving precision and control in the editing process.

The second tool, EMU video, facilitates the generation of videos from a text description through a unified architecture that responds to different types of inputs. It uses diffusion models to generate videos, providing a streamlined process for video generation tasks.

These new tools enhance the capabilities of Meta’s founding content generation model, EMU. The recent expansion at the Connect event introduced a tool for creating ‘stickers’ to be used in messaging applications. With these new additions to its portfolio, Meta is taking a significant step forward in image editing and video generation.
