Startup Kaiber Launches Mobile GenAI App for Music Videos
November 7, 2023
Kaiber, the AI-powered creative studio whose credits include music video collaborations with artists such as Kid Cudi and Linkin Park, has launched a mobile version of its creator tools designed to give musicians and graphic artists on-the-go access to its suite of GenAI tools offering text-to-video, image-to-video and video-to-video, “now with curated music to reimagine the music video creation process.” Users can select artist tracks to accompany visuals to build a music video “with as much or little AI collaboration as they wish.” Users can also upload their own music or audio and tap Kaiber for visuals.
Whether a wholly user-generated endeavor “of using curated style prompts from Kaiber’s featured artists, users can craft an experience entirely unique to them and their content needs,” the company says in a news release.
Since its 2022 launch, Kaiber claims to have bootstrapped its way to more than 5 million sign-ups. Subscriptions to Kaiber start at $5 per month and go to $30.
“Kaiber offers two types of animation style — ‘Flipbook,’ a frame-by-frame effect, or ‘Motion,’ a fluid style where content smoothly transitions between frames,” TechCrunch explains, adding that “users can describe how they want the video to look or select from Kaiber’s pre-prompted subjects and styles.”
Offering similar functionality to video generators like Runway, Make-A-Video from Meta Platforms and Google’s Imagen Video, Kaiber also lets users customize camera moves, “whether they want the animation to zoom in/out, rotate clockwise or counterclockwise or move up, down, left or right,” TechCrunch writes, noting that a variety of aspect ratios can be selected depending on the end-use platform: “16:9 for YouTube, 9:16 for TikTok and 1:1, 3:4 or 4:3 for Instagram.”
Kaiber videos take about 30 minutes to propagate, and at present, can only generate eight minutes at a stretch, but as with its competitors, the company is seeking to lengthen the duration of its GenAI video output.
With this latest integration Kaiber is offering “more than a mobile app — it’s making traditional creative processes and skills approachable, putting generative art tools in the pockets of any creative,” company CEO Victor Wang says.
Tech Times reports “the app’s creation was a joint endeavor involving software design and engineering firm STRV, along with a Kaiber design team headed by Ede Schweizer.
Kaiber CTO Eric Gao said “Kaiber started from my desire as a music producer to create captivating visuals” that he imagined but lacked the resources to bring to life.
