AI took another step into Hollywood today with the launch of a new filmmaking tool from showbiz startup Flawless.
For movie makers, the tool offers photorealistic edits without a costly return to set.
Flawless has showcased several use cases.
One transfers an actors performance from one shot to another.
Another adds new dialogue while keeping the original scene.
The characters lip movements are synchronised with the updated words.

Every edit is delivered in 4K resolution.
The results have already hit the silver screen.
One early test case was the survival thrillerFall, which was directed by Scott Mann the co-founder of Flawless.
AI editing arrives in Tinseltown
Mann applied the software to clean up the movies dialogue.
Those curse words had to go.
To replace them, Flawless first converted the actors faces into 3D models.
Next, neural networks then analysed and reconstructed the performances.
Facial expressions and lip movements were then synchronised with the new dialogue.
A sequel is now shooting in Thailand.
Its already altering where people are shooting, Manntold TNWlast month.
And as it extends out, I think its going to completely transform how we make movies.
If all goes to plan, movie lovers will soon be able to review the results for themselves.
But if the AI edits are as good as advertised, we wont even know that they exist.
AI will take centre stage again atTNW Conference, which takes place on June 19-20 in Amsterdam.
Tickets for the event arenow on sale.
