I had early access to Pika 1.0, an AI art generator by Pika Labs. I experimented with it and found five interesting features.
Firstly, Pika 1.0’s interface is user-friendly. You can modify specific regions of an image. There’s also a function to expand the canvas.
The tool offers ‘Retry’ and ‘Reprompt’ buttons. ‘Retry’ uses the same prompt for a new result. ‘Reprompt’ lets you alter the prompt.
There’s an ‘Edit’ button too. It allows you to reframe or add elements without changing the prompt. For example, you can add aviator sunglasses or a denim jacket to a character.
The tool’s text consistency feature impacts the final output. Using the same prompt and seed can yield different results. Lower consistency settings result in images closer to the prompt. Higher settings give the AI more creative freedom.
You can extend video clips in Pika 1.0. Adding 4 seconds at a time allows you to change the camera’s motion, like zooming or tilting.
In my tests, extended clips often lost coherence. However, without camera movement, the results varied. One clip interestingly evolved into a mini-story.
