What’s the duration of the videos generated by Nova Reel?

Hi,

As announced yesterday by Andy Jassy, the duration of Nova Reel video is only 6 seconds for now during Preview. It will be extended to much longer duration at GA.

See https://docs.aws.amazon.com/nova/latest/userguide/video-generation.html

Some tech insights in this research paper: https://assets.amazon.science/9f/a3/ae41627f4ab2bde091f1ebc6b830/the-amazon-nova-family-of-models-technical-report-and-model-card.pdf

Best.

Let me add some clarification and corrections to the previous answers. Nova is a family of models. It includes multimodal understanding models - Nova Lite and Nova Pro - which can accept video as input, as well as a video generation model, Nova Reel, which produces video as output.

Nova Reel currently generates videos which are 6 seconds in duration. We plan to extend the maximum duration for generated videos in the future. A previous answer described Nova Reel as being in "Preview". This is not correct. Nova Reel is generally available.

Nova Lite and Nova Pro can accept input videos of any duration as long as their file size is 1 GB or smaller. The duration of video you can fit into that file size will depend on the resolution, frame rate, and compression settings used to create that video file.

More detail on the Nova models and their capabilities can be found in the Nova User Guide.

I apologize, but there seems to be some confusion in your question. Let me clarify the information about Amazon Nova Reel and video duration:

Amazon Nova Reel is indeed a state-of-the-art video generation model, but it is designed to create short videos, not 30-minute long videos. The model allows users to easily create high-quality video content from text prompts and images. However, the specific duration of these generated videos is not explicitly stated in the available information.

The reference to 30-minute video content you mentioned is likely related to the understanding capabilities of Amazon Nova models, particularly Amazon Nova Pro. This model can process and understand up to 30 minutes of video content as input, but it does not generate videos of that length.

To summarize:

1. Amazon Nova Reel generates short videos, not 30-minute long videos.
2. You can use text prompts and images to generate these short videos with Nova Reel.
3. The 30-minute capability refers to the ability of some Nova models (like Nova Pro) to analyze and understand video content, not to generate it.

So, while you can generate videos using text prompts with Amazon Nova Reel, these will be short videos suitable for purposes like marketing, advertising, and entertainment, not 30-minute long videos.
