Get Ready to Write, Not Shoot: The Rise of Text-to-Video Services

Fundamentally, it's only a short step up from current image creation - which Ai services are getting very, very good at.
The 'step' is computational: 
Instead of one image at a time, create 30 images at a time
30 images = 30 Frames Per Second and now you have video!

Imagine: simply typing a few sentences or a short paragraph to describe a scene, and within minutes, having a polished, engaging video ready to share.

No more expensive cameras, complex editing software, or hiring actors.

Text-to-video platforms like OpenAI's upcoming "Sora" and established players like Elai and Synthesia are making this a reality.

These services offer a range of features, including:

• AI-powered avatars: 
  Choose from a library of digital presenters to deliver your message.
  Scene generation: 
  Text-to-video tools can automatically create visuals that complement your script.
  Voiceover selection: 
  Infuse your video with different voices and tones to suit the content.

The market research shows there will be opportunities everywhere:
