Microsoft's Story Remix app Uses AI to Make Editing Videos Easy

On Thursday Microsoft unveiled their new image recognition software which uses deep learning to help users edit their photos and videos on Windows 10 devices. Along with the company's recent acquisition of two AI start-ups, this is more proof of how seriously Microsoft is taking AI. Microsoft's new Story Remix app will replace the previous Windows 10 Photos app, and it was showcased onstage by Microsoft executive Lorraine Bardeen. She demoed how users will be able to add animations on top of their videos, and thanks to the built in AI, these animations can follow certain objects, such as a football heading towards a goal. She did exactly by taking a video of a girl dribbling a football and then superimposed a fireball on top of the ball as it headed to the back of the net.
