1What this feature covers

This feature is making new material with AI: footage from a prompt, AI actors and avatars, or animation of stills. Across the register: New footage from a prompt: 12; AI actors and new footage: 4; Animation of stills or designs: 2; Vertical drama from a script: 1; Not documented on the pages read: 6.

Generation fills gaps: a shot that was never filmed, a presenter who is not on camera, a still that needs to move. It is newer in apps than captions or clipping.
