Pika 1.5 updates with three new Halloween-themed video AI Pikaffects

The three new Pikaffects in time for Halloween are levitate, eye pop, and decapitate — all of which do what they sound like.

Of all the AI video models out there, arguably the one to see most success among mainstream creators and viewers — those outside the pro and amateur filmmaking community — is Pika. “We’re trying to put fun at the forefront of AI—making it accessible not just for creators, but for anyone, from kids to grandparents,” said Matan Cohen-Grumi, Pika’s Founding Creative Director, in a video call interview with VentureBeat earlier this week. Then, tapping the Pikaffects button marked by a magic wand (encircled above in the annotated screenshot), the user can pull up all 13 preset Pikaeffects.
