These AI video systems will need huge amounts of random videos showing things like leafs rustling in the wind, car driving, etc. so you don't even need to put in 10 hours of effort to create a 10 minute video, you can just grab your camera and go for a walk and publish that as it is, and it will be valuable training material.

$3 per minute would be a pretty high price to pay for "man walks outside" video.

As you mentioned models need _random_ videos. Just 'walk outside' will produce more or less the same. My guess Adobe is more interested in 'family' sort of videos, with humans. This is what most users will be asking for. Getting them in other ways will be either illegal or really expensive.

I'm not suggesting that anyone here will make $3 per minute shooting random videos, whether those videos are "man walking outside", or "family gathers at the fireplace". The distinction between those types of videos was not pertinent. I was pointing out that making videos for the purpose of training AI doesn't require you to put 10 hours of effort into making a 10 minute video, like for example, Youtube creators might do.

Yes. And there are many forgotten accounts on youtube, their owners now have another way to monetarize. Not sure why Adobe didn't talk to Youtube directly.
