Boximator: AI Tool From ByteDance
ByteDance, the parent company of TikTok has launched its own AI tool known as Boximator. This AI tool enhances your video quality by adding more details and well defined motions. Boximator is a combination of two words ‘Box’ and ‘Animator’. This is a new process to improve video diffusion models with fine-grained motion control. It also enhances the usability of the user with good experience.

What Does Boximator Do?
As we discussed its a combination of ‘Box’ and ‘Animator’, here the box represents a data structure which stores details about the video such as the colors and shapes present in the frame. Later, this information stored is used in video animation, video editing and gaming. The Animator can be defined as a set of algorithms to manipulate the data stored in the box to create a new video.

To Watch The Video Click The Link Below –
1. Selection of object:
Please choose and select an object from an image. This can be made easier by using advanced object segmentation tool or by drawing a box around the object.
2. Define its motion State:
After selection of object from an image, we will need to define its motion. Below are the different ways of doing it.
2.1. Ending Box: Specify a ending box up to where you need the object to be in the final frame.
2.2. Motion Path: Specification of motion path helps in defining the motion of the object that it should take over time.
2.3. Both: We can use both Ending box and Motion path at same time.
3. Control as many objects as you can:
Boximator allows you to control many objects at same time. This helps in saving time and have control over the video by boxing which ever object you want.
4. Under the hood:
This tool provides two kind of boxes which are Hard box and soft box. Hard box helps in defining the exact direction in which the object’s position and motion to be in. Soft box has the leverage to look more natural by defining the approximate position and shape of the object.
