Abstract
A mobile application with an improved user interface facilitates generating stylized media content items including images and videos. An end-user selects a desired visual effect from a set of options. The mobile application captures or accesses an image. The image is processed on a server using a generative neural network pre-trained to apply stylizations based on the selected effect. The server sends back the stylized image to the mobile application for display. The end-user can then save the stylized image or generate a video (e.g., an animation) showing the original image transition to the stylized image. The user interface provides an efficient creative workflow to apply aesthetic enhancements in a visual style chosen by the end-user. Generative machine learning techniques automate stylization to enable accessible media customization and sharing.
