Make-A-Video is built on Meta AI's recent progress in generative technology research. The system learns what the world looks like from paired text-image data and learns how the world moves from unsupervised video footage.

Another thing the system is able to do is to conceptualize a video from a single image or pair of images, even more, you can add extra creativity to your video by creating variations of your video based on the original video. You can see more in their gallery.

It's a bit similar to other text-to-video models but this one they're doing it in a slightly different way with unlabelled video data.
