Real-Time AI Video (FREE/Cheap!) & Seedance 2.5 Footage
Real-time AI video just got real — Decart's Lucy 2.5 restyles live video at 1080p/30 with basically zero latency, and with API pricing around $0.02/second (720p), it's finally cheap enough to actually build on. I hop into the playground, become an animated character (and briefly Renfield), and get into why "live previs" might be the actual killer use case here. Also in this one: Seedance 2.5 watch continues with a new sample, Neill Blomkamp drops a Seedance-made short film, whispers of a Seedance-level competitor waiting in the wings, ByteDance's Seed 1.0 audio gets timing control, a visit with our friends at Martini to check out their new Camera Motion feature (that part of the video is sponsored — thanks, Martini!), and an experimental workflow that swaps storyboards for depth maps. ► MARTINI https://martini.film/theoretically-media Get 50% off your first month: ► LINKS Lucy 2.5 Playground (Decart): https://decart.ai/lucy Neill Blomkamp's Seedance short film: https://youtu.be/8Wbtt2JxP7g?si=ZKmbjKm-y9QnL9eJ Theoretically Pose V4: (put $0 in the box — it's yours): [https://theoreticallymedia.gumroad.com/l/zobqss The video where I built it: https://youtu.be/epJiVrv4KVQ FREE Newsletter: https://theoreticallymedia.com/newsletter/ 0:00 The Week in Creative AI 0:20 Lucy 2.5: Real-Time AI Video 1:29 Hands-On: Live Restyle (and Renfield) 2:51 The Pricing — 2¢/sec & Live Previs 3:49 Seedance 2.5 Watch: New Sample 5:33 Blomkamp's AI Short + a Competitor Rumor 6:30 Seed 1.0 Audio: Timing Control 7:48 Martini: Camera Motion (Sponsored) 11:17 Martini: Libraries + a Claude Trick 12:30 Depth Maps as Storyboards 13:49 Testing REAL Depth Maps (Theoretically Pose) 15:16 Admin Notes & Goodbye
