AI video generation and editing with scene-modify and Pikaffects

About

Pika 2.2 (2026) generates and edits video from text or images, with unique Pikaffect features: 'Inflate' makes flat objects 3D, 'Explode' dramatically shatters scenes, and 'Squish' flattens objects into cartoon shapes. The 'Modify Region' tool lets you selectively edit specific areas of existing video with text prompts. Popular for social media, short films, and creative experimentation. **Step-by-step:** 1) Open pika.art. 2) Upload an image or type a text prompt. 3) Choose a Pikaffect (optional). 4) Generate. 5) Use 'Extend' to lengthen clips. **Best for:** social media creators, TikTok and Reels content, experimental filmmakers, designers wanting motion graphics.

★
Key differentiator

Pikaffects (Inflate, Explode, Squish) create surreal, share-worthy effects no other tool offers.
