Introducing the AI ``MagicEdit'' that can make a movie look like an anime, change the subject, and supplement the parts that are not shown

AI technology is rapidly advancing, and several AIs have been developed that can generate texts and images that are indistinguishable from those created by humans. A new research team at ByteDance, the company that operates TikTok, has developed an AI called MagicEdit that can edit movies just by giving text instructions. MagicEdit allows editing to replace only part of the movie, and it is also possible to add parts of the movie that are not visible.

MagicEdit allows you to edit according to the prompt by entering a sentence (prompt) such as ``a pretty girl, pink dress, living room'' along with the original movie. By playing the following movie, you can compare the original movie and the movie edited with MagicEdit.
