AI Cloud-based Effects
The AI Cloud-based Effects feature of Cloud Streaming Services (CSS) integrates with the AI text-to-video technology, allowing users to generate personalized videos with special effects in real time by inputting text descriptions (Prompts). Users can also manage the list of generated special effects via the console or API, as well as send videos with special effects to a specified live stream. This feature enhances the interactive experience of users, creating unique emotional expression methods for both anchors and audiences. Compared with traditional fixed gift special effects, it has increased interactivity.
Must-Knows
Using the AI Cloud-based Effects feature of CSS will incur two charges: one for generating a video with special effects and another for sending it. The specific fees are incurred based on the actual usage. For relevant billing instructions, see Documentation.
Videos with special effects are generated by large models and have a certain degree of randomness. Video effects will gradually improve with technological evolution and version iterations.
The use of Prompts containing prohibited sensitive words (such as violence and illegal sensitive words) is strictly forbidden.
