Seattle: Amazon has updated its AI video model, Nova Reel, allowing for video generation of up to two minutes in length. At re:Invent 2024, it announced Amazon Nova models, a new generation of foundation models (FMs), including Amazon Nova Reel, a video generation model that creates short videos from text descriptions and optional reference images.
According to Qatar News Agency, the latest Nova Reel, Nova Reel 1.1, can generate “multi-shot” videos with “consistent style” across shots, as per Amazon’s announcement. Users can provide a prompt up to 4,000 characters long to generate a video composed of six-second shots, lasting up to two minutes.
Nova Reel 1.1 also introduces a new mode called “Multishot Manual.” In this mode, the model can reference an image along with a prompt to offer more control over a video shot’s composition. Given a 1280 x 720-resolution image and a 512-maximum-character prompt, Multishot Manual can generate videos containing up to 20 shots.
Nova Reel is only available through AWS platforms and services, including Bedrock. Customers must request access.
