II. Functional Experience
According to the Ke Ling official website, the Ke Ling large model has powerful video generation capabilities that allow users to easily and efficiently complete artistic video creation. Through textual descriptions, videos generated by Ke Ling can achieve:
- Significant reasonable movements
Ke Ling uses a 3D spatiotemporal joint attention mechanism to better model complex spatiotemporal movements, generating video content with significant movements that also conform to the laws of motion. Complex, significant spatiotemporal movements can be accurately depicted.
