TOP STORY
💬 OpusClip releases “ClipAnything”

This week, OpusClip released “ClipAnything,” a groundbreaking AI clipping tool that enables users to clip any moment from any video using a combination of visual, audio, and sentiment cues.

For example:

• 📹️ “Find the red carpet moments of Emma Stone.”

• 🎵 “Fine me the hook and chorus.”

• 🧠 “Find moments that are most likely to attract kid viewers.”

Here’s how it works:

1) Analyze everything in any video 💭

ClipAnything uses smart video analysis to spot objects, scenes, actions, sounds, emotions, and text in every frame. It also rates scenes for how likely they are to go viral, making it easier for users to find interesting moments.

2) Clip any video with customized prompts ✂️ 

Whether you’re looking to compile all the scoring moments from a sports game or highlight the best scenes from your travel vlog, ClipAnything has you covered.

Simply type in your prompts, and the tool will personalize your clips, automatically capturing key moments that align with your vision.

3) Reframe Anything™️ into social ready clips 📱

ClipAnything’s Reframe Anything™️ technology identifies key objects and actions, tracking them across frames to reframe clips into 9:16, 1:1, or 16:9 formats, optimizing content for any platform.

📸 Stable Diffusion Creators Release New “FLUX.1” AI Model

A new AI image model called FLUX.1 went viral this weekend and has emerged as a strong competitor to popular tools like Midjourney.

Developed by Black Forest Labs, a team of former Stability AI members, Flux is an open-source model quickly gaining recognition for its high-quality results.

Flux’s accessibility is a major advantage, as its smaller models can run on high-performance laptops.

This makes it appealing to hobbyists, developers, and small businesses that might not have access to more expensive, proprietary tools.
