Recently, Microsoft introduced the Bing Video Creator, a creative and practical tool to automatically create videos with artificial intelligence. This new feature will truly upend the world of video content production. Unfortunately, it will not be available on desktop platforms when it initially rolls out.
Users can create and download videos within the creator, with some videos taking a few hours to produce and deliver. There’s a “quick” mode, which takes the time down to just a few minutes at most. Users can generate new videos by submitting 100 Microsoft Rewards points for each video created. This money can be gained by simply browsing with Bing or shopping at the online Microsoft Store. Each time you do a search on a desktop with Bing you get five points in Microsoft Rewards. You can earn a maximum of 150 points per day.
Your ability to queue video generations Users can now queue up to three five-second video generations concurrently. They have no way of changing the length of their videos. All videos generated by the Bing Video Creator must be in a vertical 9:16 aspect ratio. Microsoft has indicated that support for horizontal 9:16 uploads will be available in the near future.
The Bing Video Creator mainly aims at users wanting to publish information about their AI-generated creations. These operators are particularly thriving on social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram. This is in line with the broader ecosystem trends, where short-form video content is resonating more and more with users.
