2024 could be the year of AI innovation for Apple. Apple is here today with another artificial intelligence application. This time, it announced "Keyframer", a program that can create animation from a single photo frame.
Apple artificial intelligence animation application "Keyframer"
After all the rumors that iOS 18 would be an AI update, the company has released an AI image editor. An article written by Apple researchers provides details about the company's new software.
With Keyframer, the user just needs to send a single 2D SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) image. Then, with GPT-4, you will be able to tell the program how to animate the image by giving natural language prompts.
The application generates animation code to animate the SVG (image). Keyframer is said to have multiple types of editors, allowing users to fine-tune the animation.
How to use Keyframer?
Users can create new animations based on each clue or based on previous clues. You can upload an image of a planet and then ask Keyframer to "Create three designs where the sky changes to different colors".
Keyframer will generate your animation requests and show you the code it generates to do so. You can then adjust the code yourself to get the animation you want, or make another request to Keyframer.
Thanks to the possibility to build on each result, you don't have to start with a final animation: You can start, but seeing how the AI animates your image in an unexpected way can also inspire you.
You don't need to be a professional to create animations anymore!
Apple's Keyframer looks like an exciting addition that pushes the boundaries of creative applications in AI. Of particular interest is the ability to animate images with natural language cues.
This makes animation accessible to a wider range of users who may not have traditional animation skills. Also, showing the code it generates provides transparency and gives users the option to make adjustments or learn the process.
