In the ever-evolving world of text to video editing, Pika Labs unveiled a groundbreaking feature that is set to redefine how we perceive video content. The “encrypt” feature allows users to seamlessly embed text and images directly into their videos. Lets take a look at what this feature offers:
Commands to explore
Pika Labs has introduced two primary commands for this feature:
- encrypt_text: This command is designed for embedding text into videos.
- encrypt_image: As the name suggests, this command lets you embed images into your video content.
Weight factor (-w)
Before using these features there are a few things to understand first. Let me explain.
One of the standout features is the weight factor, denoted as -w. This factor determines the visibility of the encrypted message. A higher value of -w makes the embedded message more pronounced and visible. The range for this factor is between 0 to 2, with the default setting being 1.
Customising text size (-size)
The -size parameter is another customisable feature. It allows users to set the size of the embedded text. You can choose a size ranging from 50 to 100, with the default size being set at 100.
Font options
To ensure that the embedded text complements the aesthetics of the video, Pika labs offers a variety of font choices. You can select from the following options:
- Modern
- Comics
- Sans serif
- Bauhaus
- Retro
Example video with encrypted text
In this example I have embedded the word ‘sunny’ into a beach scene.
Prompt: a sunny beach with waves crashing on the shore -w 1 -size 70 Message: SUNNY (Font: RETRO)
Embedding images in Pika Labs videos
For this example I uploaded an image of an evil face, I added the following prompt:
Prompt: a city on fire the smoke rolling into the sky
Conclusion
Pika Lab’s new encrypt feature is a game-changer in the realm of video editing. Whether you’re a professional video editor or someone who loves creating content for fun, this feature promises to add a unique touch to your videos. With the ability to embed text and images, the possibilities are endless. So, let your creativity flow!
