The AI video generator Pika can now also be used with an updated model 2.0 - the support of so-called “Scene Ingredients” is a brand new addition. These are “ingredients” that should appear in a generated setting and can be specified in the form of uploaded images. A very similar functionality was recently introduced at Vidu 1.5. The advantage is obvious: more visual control over the synthetic images and also greater consistency, as the same protagonist can be ordered again and again, for example.
According to Pika, an unlimited number of image templates can be specified, including figures, objects, clothing, environments and the like. Paired with a prompt that describes the desired scene, this provides the basis from which the video AI starts; the system supposedly recognizes independently which role the specifications should play in each case. The promo video also suggests that the predefined objects can simply be replaced, whereupon only this one image component in the video changes after repeated generation.

There is no information on the generated clip length, apparently it remains at 5 seconds as with Pika 1.5. It is unclear whether an audio track is currently also generated in the latest model. However, Pika 2.0 will not be made available to all subscribers, only Pro and Fancy users will have access to the new model. Generating with Pika 2.0 is also significantly more expensive than before, at least 50 credits per clip are due (15 credits for 1.0/1.5); if Scene Ingredients are used, it is even 100 credits. If you want to download your videos without watermarks, you have to book the most expensive “Fancy” subscription. It costs 95 dollars per month or 76 dollars when billed annually. more infos at bei pika.art deutsche Version dieser Seite: Pika 2.0 unterstützt "Scene Ingredients": Mehr Kontrolle, höhere Kosten |
