AI is now commonplace in the movie industry. It aids in scriptwriting, pre-production (planning and scheduling), developing release plans and projecting box office success, casting, and promotion. It's also becoming more popular for video editing, colouring, and music composition.

"AI is growing up fast, as are robots whose facial expressions can elicit empathy and make your mirror neurons quiver." —Diane Ackerman.

The shortcomings of current AI systems are just the tip of the iceberg, although they exist. Soon, everything from storyboarding to production will be possible with AI. 

These AI models can produce videos with AI avatars, make videos from text, images, and clips, convert text to speech and voice-overs, synchronize speech and lip movements, change voices, make anyone sing like Drake, turn still photos into videos with narration, produce convincing facial expressions, analyze scripts, forecast box office success, and explore, create, and remix machine learning models.

The following are some of the AI models necessary for any filmmaker:

Retrieval-based-Voice-Conversion-WebU

Retrieval-based "Voice Conversion" refers to a technique that uses a trained neural network to mimic the voice of a different individual. The state-of-the-art VITS model is utilized to turn text into speech. Even with constrained resources like data and processing power, RVC makes it possible to create convincing and expressive voice modifications. In simpler terms: it's a programme that can make one person sound like another. 

Synthesia 

The Synthesia platform lets users create AI avatar videos. The platform has much to offer, including support for over 60 languages, a wide variety of templates, a screen recorder, and a media library. 

Izotope Neutron for Audio Mixing

Izotope has created four versions of its Neutron audio mixing software, with the Track Assistant and the Mix Assistant being its most-discussed AI features. Track Assistant employs AI to analyze the file and generate personalized presets to make an imported audio track sound as good as possible. It complements the Sculptor spectral shaper in Neutron, which enables the user to apply the sound profiles of individual instruments, such as guitar, bass, and kick drum, to a recording for more lifelike results.

MusicGen 

Meta's MusicGen uses AI to create music from written descriptions. Users can get MusicGen's source code online and try out the demo to see the impressive outcomes that AI music models can produce. Using these AI models, directors can venture into uncharted territory creatively. As AI technology advances, we may anticipate many more innovative solutions to improve the filmmaking process.

Murf 

Murf offers a flexible solution for converting text to speech, voice-overs, and dictations, catering to professionals in various disciplines, such as product developers, podcasters, educators, and business leaders. Murf provides users extensive customization options, allowing them to create natural voices tailored to their specific requirements. The tool offers a variety of voices and dialects to choose from, and its user-friendly interface makes content creation a seamless experience.

Wav2Lip

Wav2Lip is a vital tool that synchronizes a video's audio section with the person featured in accompanying lip and facial movements. It guarantees that the movements of the lips and face correspond to the words spoken.

Pictory

Scripts and articles can be transformed into videos with the help of Pictory. Users can use it without any expertise in video editing or design. Users need to supply a script or article to serve as the basis for their videos.

DeepBrainAI

Users can produce videos quickly and easily by entering basic text. You must write your screenplay and use the Text-to-Speech feature to get your first AI movie in less than 5 minutes. This improved technique enables users to convert text into captivating video content easily.
