In the past, AI-video discussions were often about comparing image quality, motion, shots, or who could generate a more stunning clip. But once you reach brand, marketing, advertising, and content teams, the questions get more real: can one idea turn into video faster? Can one product selling point generate different versions of material in batches? Can one brand campaign be tested and iterated at lower cost? Can AI video move from a "creation tool" into the "commercial production pipeline"? Shortening the pipeline does not mean lowering the bar. Real commercial video still has to explain the product, serve the brand, fit the channel, and drive conversion. On July 16, on the afternoon of Day 2 of the 2026 Unique Awards · Shanghai AI Business Summit, there will be an AI Imaging Future sub-forum led by Aishi Technology (爱诗科技): Growing Frames 2026 | Growing Upward · The Future of AI Imaging Summit. Time: July 16, 2026, 14:00-15:40 Venue: Sub-forum room, 2nd floor, Shanghai Marriott Hotel Caohejing Capacity: 200 seats Theme: Growing Upward — AI Imaging From Creative Tool to Commercial Productivity Aishi Technology's PixVerse video model is one of the AI-video models worth watching over the past two years. From creator tools to API, from text/image-to-video to multi-shot, character reference, audio, and editing capabilities, PixVerse is no longer just a "generate a clip" tool; it's moving toward a fuller video production pipeline. So at this sub-forum, we won't only talk about what AI video "can generate." We want to talk more about how AI video is actually put to use. Why Is This Event Worth Coming To? Because the next step of AI imaging isn't just clearer, more stable, more cinematic. It has to enter real business. Brands need material, e-commerce needs product video, content teams need continuous output, ad agencies need faster pitches, creators need higher efficiency from idea to final cut. In the past, this work relied on people, shooting, editing, and repeated revisions. Now, AI video is compressing the pipeline. But shortening the pipeline does not mean lowering the bar. Real commercial video still has to explain the product, serve the brand, fit the channel, and drive conversion. It isn't "generate it and you're done"; it has to enter marketing, distribution, ad placement, and content asset management. How does AI imaging go from an imagination tool to next-generation commercial productivity? What Will Be Discussed On Site? This sub-forum centers on creator practice, enterprise application, business growth, work screening, and industry collaboration. Creator's view How do AI directors and creators complete the creative process from inspiration, script, and shots to final cut? Will AI video give individual creators stronger expression and commercialization? Enterprise view How does AI video enter brand marketing, product advertising, corporate communications, and content production? Can it truly cut content production costs and raise material-testing efficiency? Product view How does an AI-video product like PixVerse turn model capability into a workflow creators, brands, and enterprise clients can directly use? Content view There will be a 2026 outstanding AI video work screening on site. Often, rather than hearing concepts, it's better to see the work directly. Collaboration view The commercialization of AI video isn't completed by one tool alone. Creators, platforms, brands, enterprise clients, and service providers are forming new ways of working together. Schedule 14:00-14:05 Opening | Host opens Introduces the theme, guests, and AI imaging industry context. 14:05-14:30 Identity Reset: From Internet "Screw" to AI "Super Individual" Guest: TVC ad director, AI director, PixVerse super creator "Wan AI de Xiaolongbao" (玩AI的小笼包) From a creator's view, this session shares the AI video creation process, viral-content methods, commercial project experience, and how the AI-director role moves from personal practice to commercialization. 14:30-14:55 Growing Upward, Expanding the Imagination of the Imaging-Narrative Era Guest: Sun Weizhe (孙伟哲), Head of Enterprise Services, Aishi Technology From Aishi Technology's industry and enterprise-services view, this session discusses AI video trends, enterprise-level application scenarios, new paradigms for brand marketing content production, and how AI imaging becomes a new enterprise productivity. 14:55-15:20 From Idea to Growth: AI Marketing Video Solution Practice Guest: Product Manager, Aishi Technology This session leans toward product and solutions, covering the AI marketing video production pipeline, automated product ad video, brand marketing content solutions, and enterprise client application cases. 15:20-15:40 2026 Outstanding AI Video Work Screening A batch of AI video works will be screened, including commercial cases, creator works, brand marketing cases, and AI narrative innovation cases. For people who care about AI video's real effect, this segment will be very direct. Who Should Come? If you're an AI imaging creator, AI director, video content team, or AIGC studio, this event shows how similar creators turn AI video from works into projects. If you're from a brand marketing department, advertising creative agency, MCN, or IP operator, this event helps you judge whether AI video can enter daily content production and ad placement. If you're an enterprise, marketing, or content leader, you can also see how AI video is really applied in product advertising, brand communications, enterprise content, and marketing growth. If you're an AI video tool, model, platform, or content-solutions company, this is also a venue to meet creators, clients, and partners. Why "Growing Upward"? Because the value of AI imaging shouldn't stop at "generating a nice-looking video." It has to keep growing upward — upward into creative method, upward into brand assets, upward into marketing growth, upward into enterprise content workflows. From personal creation to commercial projects, from single videos to batch material, from inspired expression to business results, from model capability to production process — this road has only just begun. Growing Frames 2026 wants to gather the people on this road together. July 16 afternoon, 2nd-floor sub-forum room, Shanghai Marriott Hotel Caohejing. Welcome to come and see for yourself. --- Original publication: https://uniqueresearch.substack.com/p/src-20260708-01html On-site reading page: https://ffcap.cn/en/research/src-20260708-01html
