Amazon has unveiled an upgrade to its AI video model, Nova Reel, allowing users to generate videos up to two minutes long. Launched in December 2024, Nova Reel 1.1 features a new mode called ‘Multishot Manual,’ enabling users to reference an image alongside a prompt for enhanced video composition. The model can create ‘multi-shot’ videos maintaining consistent style across shots. Although Nova Reel is only accessible via AWS, concerns arise over the ethical sourcing of training data. Amazon has pledged to protect customers against copyright claims related to generated media.
