    Hi HN, I'm Heshan, founder of X-Pilot. We're building an AI Video Generator for online courses and educational content. Unlike most text-to-video generator that render videos directly from models (which often produce random stock footage unrelated to the actual content), we take a code-first approach: generate editable code layers, let users verify/refine them, then render to video. The Problem We're Solving Most AI video generators treat "education" and "marketing" the same—they optimize for "looks good" rather than "logically accurate." When you feed a technical tutorial or course…

    Hey HN, after our 13B release we've been working on a faster version of our open-source video model and we're excited to share it. We started with a 13B base model that already had competitive generation speeds (e.g. 55s for a 5s video on an H100 — faster than any other model out there). But we wanted to push it further to allow everyone to quickly iterate over their video generations. So we built a distilled version focused on speed without sacrificing temporal or spatial coherence. With the Distilled model, you can now generate 5-second 720p videos in about 9.5 seconds on an H100, and…

    Hi HN — I’m an indie maker building Seedance AI. It helps people create short videos (and images) from text prompts and reference photos. I tried to keep it simple: fast templates, predictable credit pricing, and downloadable results. It’s still early, and I know there are rough edges. I’d really appreciate honest feedback on what feels useful, what feels confusing, and what I should improve first. Happy to answer technical or product questions.

    I had 2 weeks off from work and wanted a pet project before heading back. With GPT and Generative AI in the news, I decided to chain multiple Al products together to build something really cool. I set my end goal to be: prompt-to-storyboard (aka fun videos generated purely via generative AI). There exists some prompt-to-video products, but I wanted to tell stories with audio as well. The end product takes an initial prompt and produces a series of images and audio files, which I then combine (with subtitles) into the final video. To showcase videos, there is a basic upvote/downvote…

    I tried to train text to video and image to video models to generate 2D game animations. I used public game animation data and 3D mixamo model rendered animations to train the animation generation models. I'm open sourcing the model, training data, training code and data generation code. More technical details can be found in my blog (https://www.gavinliblog.com/posts/godmodeanimation).

    Hi HN, We’ve been working with Seedance 1.5 Pro, a next-generation AI video model focused on native audio-visual generation—where video, speech, and lip-sync are created together, not stitched together afterward. Unlike traditional pipelines that generate video first and add audio later, Seedance 1.5 Pro produces fully synchronized visuals and sound in a single pass, enabling more natural dialogue, emotion, and storytelling. Key capabilities: Native Audio-Visual Generation: Video, voice, lip movement, and sound effects are generated jointly for tighter sync and realism. Text / Image →…

    I’ve been tracking the latest release from ByteDance, Seedance 2.0, and I’ve integrated it into my platform. Unlike previous models that focus only on pixels, Seedance 2.0 achieves frame-level audio-visual synchronization natively. Check out the model's capabilities here: https://videomakerai.app/models/seedance-ai Key Highlights: 12-Way Multimodal Control: Supports multi-image and video references for consistent characters. Native Audio-Visual Sync: No more "dubbing" after generation; the sound and motion are generated together. Production Ready: Optimized for dynamic…

    Hi HN! We're proud to share Hotshot, a large-scale diffusion transformer model for text-to-video generation that we built with just a 4-person team. You can try it today in beta at https://hotshot.co, with 2 free generations per day. The model generates 5 seconds of 720p video from text prompts. It excels at prompt alignment, and consistency. It also excels at generating people, animals, and nature. In blind tests with 100 users, Hotshot generations were preferred to Runway ML 60% of the time. Hotshot generations were preferred to Luma 80% of the time. Overall, users preferred…
