Following the recent launch of popular special effects such as squashing, melting, and inflating on Pika, the new Pika1.5 version has introduced four additional special effects, making it a standout update.

Specifically, the four new features are crumble (crumble), dissolve (dissolve), deflate (deflate), and the "ta-da" effect, which makes characters in the video disappear instantly as if covered by a cloth.

The operation is also very simple. Users only need to upload an image, select the desired effect, and a corresponding dynamic video will be generated. Next to the "Pikaeffect" button, there is also a magic wand icon that allows users to easily choose the desired effect. The official provided video example is as follows:

In addition to the latest four effects, Pika1.5 also includes six effects launched earlier this month, such as "explosion," "squash," "melt," "shatter," "inflate," and "cake-ify." The latter transforms any uploaded static image into a "Is this a cake?" video, eliciting laughter.

It is reported that Pika Labs was co-founded by former Stanford University AI researchers Demi Guo and Chenlin Meng. They launched their AI video platform at the end of 2023 and have accumulated over 500,000 users in less than a year. Unlike many AI video platforms focused on realism, Pika emphasizes creative transformations.

To meet the needs of different users, Pika Labs has introduced four subscription plans, ranging from a free plan to an unlimited plan at $76 per month, covering various creative needs. Pika's initiatives further highlight its differentiated strategy amidst fierce competition with competitors like Runway, Luma, Kling, and Hailuo.
