The whole point of a wedding video is to document a real event. There is no value in anything AI generated in that context. Just none. Not even a fringe market.
I agree with you 100%. I could see it being used for B roll footage, but even if I was like "Crap I never got a shot of her shoes" and I asked AI to generate it, it's not going to be her shoes at all! It's not ever going to be the real people, places, decor and events that happened on your wedding day. It just has no place in this market at all. I guess if the future generations want this then we might as well animate their entire wedding day with Lego figures, at least that would be interesting. LOL
Completely agree with you, we, wedding videographers have been suffering for years with people with no talent, presenting themselves as professional just because they have a gymbal, a Handycam and now a smart phone with 4K capabilities and worst of all, offering ridiculous prices, this has been happening for years and years, and now thanks to AI, and videographers promoting it, things are about to get worse, we are about to see beautiful scenes that never happened in the wedding and they did that with absolutely no talent at all, and the real scenes will be mediocre because they were filmed by people that does not understand the importance of this and they don’t have the experience to do it, but got into this business because now it’s so easy to be a “filmmaker”. I think wedding videography will be dead very soon.
It looks like an ad for Adobe Firefly, and it walks like an ad for Adobe Firefly, and it talks like an ad for Adobe Firefly, but it’s not an ad for Adobe Firefly? If it’s not an ad I don’t understand why such a positive slant for such objectively bad results. Long time listener first time caller, I just don’t buy the idea that text to video is a good idea for wedding filmmakers to embrace. Generative extend might be useful (we’ve all had that clip that needs to be just one more second, or slightly wider) and some of the AI tools that are able to frame blend to create slow motion seem to show promise for visual storytelling. But straight up fake clips of terrain that isn’t connected to the wedding (or reality,) animals that were never on site the day of, and people/motion that was made up? If I was a client and I learned that this stuff was in my end product I’d totally flip a lid. Tl;dr, I think AI is cool but this is not the flex people think it is
Weddings are supposed to be telling the story of two people and what brought them together in a way that stirred them to commit to a lifelong partnership with each other. That’s a very emotional and soulful story to tell AI is not gonna be able to do that. it’s only gonna end up looking like a shoe and ring commercial.
With all the drone BS going on lately, it would be kinda funny if I could take a wide shot of a scene or the venue and just be like, "make this a drone shot." Or make crazy ring shots. Will I actually use it though? We'll see. Thanks for being so bold talking about this and even making something like this. It's a sensitive topic lol
I think AI can be seen as a way to force content creators and videographers to really up their game and continue to adapt, learn, and improve their skills to a new level. I would be more concerned about consumer technology and AI apps that literally can do in seconds what before took hours in editing. I’m excited about AI and I believe it can inspire videographers become better storytellers. As always, great content Matt.
You remind me of the people that are being forced to train other workers, sometimes from low income countries, that they know will replace them. Except that in this case you are doing it voluntarily. Good luck when charging for your next gigs, as people devalue your job and skill completely.
I want adobe to come up with Ai wedding editing. let it take all my clips of the day throw them on a timeline choose the best clips, select the best audio from the audio I provide and make at least a starting point for me. I would pay top dollar. We as videographers need the Editing power that Imagen ai has with photos.
I feel like what is possible someday is a client could have regrets in not hiring a videographer, and has AI use their photos to create one retroactively
This is what it is today... matter of time (and not much time at all) it will be better and better. Take photograph of bride / groom... done. Was that your wedding? No, its the one I wanted.
To be honest, it is really cheesy and the people don’t even come close to looking real. It looks like a video game and if that’s what somebody wants for a wedding video then have at it
I have been a wedding videographer for 44 years, in my view, our job is to make the best possible video of an event without interacting , changing it, modifying it, on the first take, without the help of anybody and being invisible if possible, even if the wedding was not very good it is expected from us to make a good video, if you need to change anything, ask for a certain thing to be repeated, block the view from the guests or integrate in the video something that did not happen there, then you are not a good wedding videographer.
Hi. In your prompts you use the word "gorgious". What does it contribute? What would come out if not gorgious? Ugly? The same for magical etc. I'd apreciate an explanation about what does it contribute. Thanks
It looks more like an animated film created by Robert Zemeckis than something realistic. I don't see how this could ever be useful in a wedding video, at least in my style.
Amazing take. Glad to see someone post a video knowing it’ll be controversial. And for the crybabies in the comments, which I’m assuming you saw the title and left a mindless comment without watching the whole video, get your thumb out of your know where and use your two brain cells to realise this isn’t a voucher for using generative ai to produce whole wedding shoots, but an example of a TOOL that can/will be used to adapt footage to satisfy a client’s needs.
Do you think the examples with landscapes or animals look good? I mean it's impressive for what it is but it looks completely fake. Especially when you pay attention to motion.
As concept storyboard for the client 😅it would be useful then otherwise what does one do with this.. I fail to see its point... 😂 But then again as we learn we grow... Maybe use it for courses examples 🤷
Hey Matt, I was just thinking as you were doing your introduction on how we could use. This would be to sell wedding ideas to the clients so we we could work with them to get a basic storyline down and show them in AI what that might look like and even for ourselves working out different shots Provided we can get AI to actually use real location data but in any case it might be a great storyboard tool so to speak
Hey Matt, love your work but the video you posted, in as much as I appreciate the idea, has to be the worst thing my eyes have gazed upon. The landscape shots are no better. Hopefully, in the future the language model will get better but I don't think it's anywhere near ready even for seconds in someone's wedding film. Thanks for your efforts though.
It looks horrendous to my eyes. awkward, almost unwatchable. For now, the only use i see for my work would be modifiyng real shots by adding VFX, that would be very expensive and long to create. But i will not use it until it looks...well...not AI.
It's human movements and features that it currently struggles with, especially within a moving environment, however, the shots of the sparklers, the ring shots, any object shots it looks fantastic with. It does lack, how do I put this, real textures ? There's a lack of depth in textures and it seemingly makes the videos a 3D, 2D image that moves. With time, updates, it will become incredibly difficult for professionals to see any difference, let alone clients who are unable to tell the difference between upscale 1080p footage and 4K
@@sloht4061 yes probably, but will it take 1 year or 10 years ? it's moving fast, but to get to the point where it is actually great, might take such a long time.
We are definitely in the uncanny valley right now, where our brains can tell us it’s fake. But I think the time is rapidly approaching where it’s gonna be a lot harder to tell, especially for certain shots

I agree with you, this is garbage. Just what we need for FAKE in this already fake world. Let's keep NOT being who we really are. so lame .

In edit where you can say, "remove the crying child from this clip"
😂😂😂 people would pay top dollar for that
I can imagine this can be usefull to pitch a video idea/concept and show it instead of explaining it
you can use this for storyboard
really good point

Maybe a nice perfume commercial 😜
It's not quite there...yet. Much like AI generated photos were a few years ago. But give it a year or two, and things are going to get wild.
The scary thing is that you’re not wrong though, it’s just a matter of time.
With all the drone BS going on lately, it would be kinda funny if I could take a wide shot of a scene or the venue and just be like, "make this a drone shot." Or make crazy ring shots. Will I actually use it though? We'll see.

This is the future, haters woulda said the same thing about digital photography or autofocus

People are paying for YOUR judgement. If not you are an infinitely replaceable hack racing to the bottom with the lowest prices.
@@whoismatt great video man, keep inspiring us I have learned so much from you.
I feel like what is possible someday is a client could have regrets in not hiring a videographer, and has AI use their photos to create one retroactively
Would be interesting to see for sure
I would use this for ideas like different type of shots. So when I actually go film I have an idea of the look I want
This is what it is today... matter of time (and not much time at all) it will be better and better. Take photograph of bride / groom... done. Was that your wedding? No, its the one I wanted.

Artificial intelligence for wedding video editing is cool, you can even dream about it
In classic @whoismatt wording… “WHERE ARE THE PEOPLE?”
Fun thing to try out. Good analysis on its usefulness (or lack of).
I cant wait for AI to edit all my photos for me the way I ask it to, this way I will spend more time taking images and less time editing.

It is cool that if the bride and groom get divorced, replacing one with a different person would be good. I see a market for this.
Great video! I doubt this affects event type videographers such as wedding videographers..
Agreed
Too much over-sharpening with ai
The Samsung takes it away!
But both couldn't hold a candle against last year's Sony Xperia 1 mark V.
Last years..... 😉
Do you think the examples with landscapes or animals look good? I mean it's impressive for what it is but it looks completely fake. Especially when you pay attention to motion.
I think it’s just going to get better. And like I said in the video, if you cut to it quickly people will probably not notice
@@whoismatt At this point you don't need to look hard enough to notice.
How you do it.

Ooo I like this idea. Could pitch to clients what could be possible for their wedding and get them to book
@@whoismattor mislead clients in quality of your video skills. Double edged sword. Huge disclaimer before introducing such things to clients.
NO!
But why
Exactly
No one is in the car
Self driving for sure 😜
No. You are lying. It is sponsored by adobe !!!
