Upload any picture or video, and Musubi uses artificial intelligence to extract the most important part and hover it in space as a 3D image within the frame.

We are evolving our operating model to strengthen accountability, deepen technical specialization, and ensure we are positioned for long term success. Paramount is changing the internal structure of key engineering groups for its streaming services, with the goal of improving user experience and facilitating AI enablement and automated testing.
Publishers' adoption of generative AI is reducing the friction between content and format, making it easier for the same story to appear as shorter summaries, audio, or video, often in real time. To some publishers, a text article may soon be more of a vehicle for original reporting, not a final product. That information could become no longer available strictly in a static piece of content, but transformed into different shapes and formats, based on a reader's signals and preferences.
With its ProArt lineup, ASUS has commendably addressed a glaring hole in the PC market by targeting video editors and other creative pros. Its latest model even uses a popular camera marque in its name: the ProArt GoPro Edition PX13.

When professionals talk about how to remove background noise from video, they are really talking about improving the audio track of a video so the speaker's voice is clearer, more consistent, and easier to understand. Background noise refers to any unwanted sound that competes with the main voice, like air conditioning hum, office chatter, keyboard typing, traffic, or the low hiss created by recording equipment and compression. In video production, background noise removal is about reducing distractions so the listener can focus on the message.
In theory, movies are more accessible than ever before. You are literally reading this on a device that likely has access to a dozen or more streaming video apps and stores, like Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime, Tubi, and Hulu. And yet, in reality, things are dire. Movies can be pulled instantly from a service, bad versions can be uploaded and replace what existed before, and trying to manage multiple apps is expensive and annoying. It all sucks so much.
Albert Cheng, who heads the AI Studios initiative, emphasized that the goal is to support creative teams, not to replace them. The focus is on improving efficiency and reducing costs while ensuring that intellectual property is protected and AI-generated content isn't absorbed into other AI models. One example used is Amazon's "House of David" series, which featured 350 AI-generated shots in season two.
Following the strong early traction of vibes in Meta AI, we are testing a standalone app to build on that momentum. We've seen that users are increasingly leaning into the format to create, discover and share AI generated video with friends. This standalone app provides a dedicated home for that experience, offering people a more focused and immersive environment.
Through the tiny window of short clips on Instagram and TikTok, Mary's world seems enchanting and vast. Bree's work exudes melancholic emotion and ethereal femininity, painting the surfaces of Mary's world in the vibrating style of stop-motion animation, dappled with sparkling light and computer-generated surfaces so convincing it feels like you could pose the model with your own hands. O'Donnell sat down with us to talk a bit about her process creating textures and her life's work making magic real.

SmallRig's origin story remains grounded in practical workflows. The company, unlike any traditional manufacturer mapping out product categories in advance, entered the ecosystem almost reactively, responding to specific modification requests from filmmakers who encounter difficulties in finding solutions elsewhere. Over time, that reactive posture transformed into structure. Today, SmallRig speaks openly about its "Shadow R&D" network, a community of more than 15,000 vetted creators who co-develop, test, refine, and sometimes originate product concepts.
