SHENZHEN, China, Aug. 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — AI video creation is a key development focus in the generative AI industry. Recently, Kling Video AI Model, published by Kwai, took the lead in launching large-scale open user testing, triggering user trials and a surge of “creative-oriented” AI video content on content platforms. Users’ response has been positive, injecting a sense of novelty among platform users. The Lumière brothers’ silent black-and-white film, The Arrival of a Train, premiered a century ago, creating a stunning effect on audiences. Today, a century later, with the support of AI video models, AI will pave a path for “realizing imagination” in content development. A new wave of “AI Short Videos” development may emerge, highlighting the convergence of conventional and unconventional, virtual and real, and traditional and modern approaches. Given the diminishing marginal utility of traditional content transformation, this could become a new direction for content creation and provide significant opportunities for AI to break through.

I. AI Video Models’ Delayed Arrival, Kwai Kling Takes the Lead To Reach a New Level

As a track in generative AI, AI video creation has garnered attention and significant investment from various sectors. According to incomplete statistics, over 30 AI video models and tools exist in China alone. However, despite the vast potential demand for AI text-to-video, many products are still in the early stages of technical exploration, with the usability of deployed models generally needing improvement. At the beginning of the year, Sora unveiled AI-generated videos that were up to one minute long, igniting market and user enthusiasm. However, the delayed opening of user testing led to a downturn in market sentiment towards AI text-to-video. This includes evaluations from some foreign producers and media professionals during Sora trials, causing the market to adopt a wait-and-see attitude towards text-to-video technology.

Additionally, some available AI video models face high trial costs, reducing user interest in continuous experimentation. For instance, Runaway’s latest Gen3 version, despite its internationally leading generation quality, comes at a steep price of $12/month for just 125 seconds of qualified output per month. Against this backdrop, achieving low-cost usage thresholds, minute-level output, and basically usable generation quality remains a significant market expectation for the generative AI industry.

Amidst the notable development pain points in AI video generation, Kwai Kling emerged, taking the lead in large-scale user trials. Launched at the beginning of last month, the Kwai Kling provides both web and mobile access points, with the mobile version requiring users to complete tasks within the Kwaiying App. It opened application-based testing, with numerous users already granted trial access and actively engaging in content creation. The model supports various AI video creation methods, including text-to-video, image-to-video, and video continuation, focusing more on user experience. According to data on SimilarWeb, after opening on June 6, the overall website UV for the Kling showed an upward trend. Entering July, the web UV continued to increase, with peak values approaching 100,000 DAU. On the mobile side, since both application and generation model are completed within the Kwaiying App, MoonFox iApp data reveals that from the second week of June, the weekly average DAU of Kwaiying App increased significantly. Particularly after the first week of July, the weekly average DAU increased by about 1 million compared to early June, indicating strong market enthusiasm for Kling

III. The Concept of “AI-Generated Short Videos” May Break Through in the Future, Presenting a Different Development Approach from Traditional Content Creation 

How AI generation can achieve true implementation has been a key concern across various sectors. Due to factors such as hallucination issues, many current AI applications still face retention problems. As a subdivision within this field, we believe AI video creation has the potential to gain further user recognition on the usage end in the future.

Drawing from the experience of the previous round of PC and internet development, the focus on AI is not just about the efficiency revolution but also about realizing imagination. Taking QQ as an example, the internet-era QQ provided a vast space for imagination, such as QQ Space, QQ Show, emoticons, and other creative designs. Compared to traditional content at the time, the experience was quite exceptional. Behind online social interaction, there was actually a large number of novel content experiences supporting it, not just simple efficiency improvements. Similarly, current AI virtual social interaction applications with daily user engagement times of several dozen minutes follow the same principle. On the other hand, entertainment content, compared to efficiency tools, inherently has broader coverage and stronger user stickiness in terms of experience.

However, in the AI era, we believe that the “novelty” to be embodied in video content creation differs from traditional interpretations. In a situation where user interests are relatively stable and user interest circles are very distinct, breakthroughs are necessary to refresh the experience. Specifically, we believe there might be three aspects: The fusion of conventional and unconventional, the integration of virtual and real, and the blend of traditional and modern, thereby integrating with the real world to capture user interest. Secondly, while the current high cost of AI video creation is a fact, using AI for large-scale generation of long videos may not be the short-term implementation direction. However, generating short videos or integrating with existing video segments is quite possible. AI short videos might become a direction where AI video models can be practically implemented in the near future.

A century ago, the earliest silent black-and-white films were very limited in duration due to cost constraints at the time. For example, the Lumière brothers’ The Arrival of a Train was only 50 seconds long. However, when it premiered, its realistic portrayal left a deep impression on the entire audience, thus propelling a massive film industry. A century later, the AI era may potentially guide creators to explore more ideas that are difficult to realize with traditional content, opening up a new approach to video creation, which could have profound implications for future user content consumption.
