This is the category that makes Hollywood sweat. Rightfully, because video generators have the potential to extinct half of the film industry. If e.g. Runway or Sora AI allow creating any scenery 100% according to the director's vision on the computer screen, they will prefer that over sending a costly film crew around the world.
We're not there yet, for now the AI video generators don't follow prompts well enough. Too many generations are needed to make something decent, but we're slowly getting there. For example the music video "Washed Out" by Paul Trillo was made entirely with AI.
It took them 8000 generations with SoraAI and according to Paul Trillo, getting an even motion pace was the most challenging part.
To give you more of an overview of where we stand currently with video GenAI, aka AI video generators, let me introduce the main players.
- Runway is the most famous tool and so far still the front runner.
- Google's VEO has surprised some in the video gen community and was the first to introduc audio to their videos. Not perfect, but damn exciting!
- Kling AI is the Chinese pendant to Runway and also one of our favorites.
- Pika Labs was also one of the first video software to create a entirely new video sequences from a prompt, but seems to be doing best with animation style.
- Flux AI is a great video generator, it gets prompts really well and also has a great image generator.
- Artlist is a great All-in-One Tool for filmmakers which privides also a sound and music library and can generate voices.
In the years coming, expect a fierce battle of the mentioned main players. Video generators will excel in making less mistakes, more relatable characters and near undistinguishable sets and sceneries from real ones.
Until they make a full movie it will take quite some time, it's just to hard to get them everything right at once: characters, setting, audio. But when they do, the possibilities will be endless and creativity can flow even more freely.
