The accompanying Muse Video model is not yet a general release. Meta says images created in its products carry an invisible Content Seal provenance signal intended to survive common edits such as cropping and compression. Rankings and quality comparisons in the announcement are time-stamped company claims, while the release and watermarking mechanism are the durable news.",
