Artificial intelligence (AI) is providing creatives in the entertainment industry with new ways to automate many of their tasks. AI products are helping entertainment pros in a number of ways, from editing scenes and selecting takes to inserting special effects. As many creatives worry AI technology could use their work without compensation or cut down on job opportunities, some AI companies are responding by making sure they conform to the legal and ethical standards that support those groups.

1. DeepEditor

DeepEditor by Flawless AI is a film editing tool that allows editors to refine dialogue, enhance performances and reduce the amount of time needed for reshooting scenes. Actors can record new lines and lips can be synced to the new dialogue, avoiding cutaways, including in 4D resolution. The company’s Artistic Rights Treasury gives actors the ability to review and consent to every edit, in keeping with SAG-AFTRA standards.

2. ElevenLabs

The ElevenLabs AI audio platform allows for the generation of human-like speech from text in 32 languages for audio books, voice overs and dubbing. The platform allows speech-to-speech generation with a recorded sample generated in a different voice. It also provides voice cloning and can also turn text into realistic sound effects.

3. Sora

OpenAI’s Sora is a text-to-video generator that’s able to create a video scene up to a minute long based on a text prompt. The tool can generate complex scenes with multiple characters, specific types of motion and details of the subject and background. It can also create multiple shots within a single video in which characters and visual styles persist from one shot to the next.

4. FireCut

FireCut is an AI video editor for podcasts that can automatically remove silences, switch between cameras based on content and add captions. It can add zoom cuts and transcribe more than 50 languages. It can break a video into chapters and generate introductory slides for each chapter. It is also designed to work with Adobe Premiere Pro.

5. Move

Move offers motion capture without the need for markers for both single camera and multi-camera uses. It combines AI, machine vision and physics models to capture detailed human motion, including finger movements. It allows users to capture up to 22 people at the same time, including outside a studio setting. It can also export FBX and USD files to the user’s preferred 3D animation software.

6. Wonder Studio

Wonder Studio by Wonder Dynamics automatically animates, lights and composes computer-generated characters into a live-action scene. When the user uploads the CG character to a single shot or entire scene, the software can automatically detect cuts and track the actor throughout the sequence. It tracks an actor’s performance based on single-camera footage and transfers the chosen CG character on to that performance.

7. Vanity AI

Vanity AI by MARZ is able to age and de-age actors in 2D at high volumes. It can provide cosmetic fixes and improve the looks of wigs and prosthetics. Adjusting dials on a single frame allows an editor to create a shot up to feature film standards. The company says its technology is as much as 300 times faster than traditional visual effects pipelines and more cost effective with no capacity constraints.

8. Respeecher Marketplace

Respeecher Marketplace's AI voice cloning technology allows users to recreate voices. This can include the voices of deceased actors and the voice of a voice-over actor unavailable for production. It can enhance the vocal performance of non-actors, retain the youthful voices of cartoon characters as the actors age and create background voices. It is designed for filmmakers, musicians, video game developers and other content creators. The company says it gets permission from actors and pays them in order to follow legal and ethical standards.

9. Beatoven

Beatoven is an AI music generator that lets users create custom tracks using text prompts. It can be used to create background music for videos, podcasts, games and short films. Users receive a perpetual license to use the generated music, and musicians whose work was used to train the models receive compensation.

10. Spotlight

Spotlight by Electric Sheep provides automated rotoscoping, the process in which animators trace over footage frame by frame, creating a matte that allows visual effects editors to insert an element over a different background. The company says automating the process can save significant time, completing a 30-hour task in five minutes. This can also reduce the rotoscoping budget by up to 70%, the company says, and free up artists to focus on the more creative aspects of their jobs.
