Pika Dev Team has officially released its latest model, Pika 1.5, and it’s packed with powerful new features. Starting today, all users—both free and paid—can access this new model. Pika AI’s team has worked hard to deliver substantial improvements, but one feature stands out: Pikaffects.
Introducing Pikaffects: Fun and Simplicity Combined
Pikaffects is a game-changing addition to Pika 1.5. It allows users to easily manipulate their creations without needing complex prompts. With Pikaffects, users can inflate, crush, squish, or melt their creations. This feature makes the creative process smoother and more fun.
What’s New with Pika 1.5?
The release of Pika 1.5 brings several enhancements:
- Advanced Model with Enhanced Generations: Pika 1.5 is a more advanced model, delivering higher-quality outputs for both image-to-video (i2v) and text-to-video (t2v) generation.
- 5-Second Clip Generations: Users can now generate clips up to 5 seconds long, offering more room for creativity.
- Model Switching Option for Paid Users: A new button allows users with paid subscriptions to switch between models 1.5 and 1.0. This flexibility ensures they can select the right tool for each project.
- Camera Motion, Styles, and Effects: These can now be directly set within the text prompt, adding more control and customization options.
The Best of Both Models
While Pika 1.5 introduces new features, some popular functionalities remain accessible in the 1.0 model. LipSync, SoundFX, Extend, and Expand are still available, but users need to switch back to 1.0 to utilize them. This ensures continuity for those who prefer specific features of the previous version.
Pricing and Credits: What to Expect
Pika AI’s subscription prices remain unchanged at the lower tiers. However, generation costs have increased slightly, now taking 15 credits per 5-second clip. The team hopes users understand this adjustment, as it reflects the enhanced capabilities of the new model.
Generation Speed and Examples
Due to the complexity of the new model, generation time is longer compared to the previous version. However, Pikaffects generates faster, making it a great option for users eager to see results. Pika AI has also added cool ready-made examples on the explore page, giving users a chance to see the new model in action.
Emoji-Only Prompting: Still Here!
For those who love simplicity, the option to prompt using emojis remains available. Users can continue to create with just a few taps, making Pika AI both powerful and accessible.
Embrace the Future of AI Creativity with Pika 1.5
Pika 1.5 marks a significant leap forward for Pika AI. With new features like Pikaffects and more powerful generations, users have a wealth of creative possibilities at their fingertips. Whether you’re a free user or a subscriber, there’s never been a better time to explore what Pika AI can do.
