Pika 1.5 launches with physics-defying AI special effects
The new Pikaffects can transform imagery and pre-recorded video subjects into bizarrely malleable versions of themselves.
These animated special effects are available from a new button labeled Pikaeffects, and include the following pre-sets: Explode it, melt it, crush it, inflate it and “cake-ify it” — the latter of which essentially turns your image subject into the meme videos of highly realistic prop cakes. For those looking to make their creations truly cinematic, the platform has added new motion control features, allowing users to include advanced shots such as Bullet Time, Vertigo, Dolly Left, and Crane Down. The addition of Pikaffects, cinematic shots, and lifelike movements offers exciting new possibilities for creators, regardless of their experience level, and is clearly already helping Pika differentiate itself amid an increasingly crowded and competitive AI video model space.
