Summary
AI video tools have seen massive improvements so I tested every tool to find the best. I’ve been testing AI video tools for over a year and this is the most exciting time yet. Runway Gen-3 is dominating text-to-video with realistic cinematic AI video. Dream Machine by Luma Labs has amazing text to video, image to video, and keyframes for more control for AI animation of images. Krea video uses keyframes for more abstract animations, they also have an incredible AI video upscaler. There’s two amazing lip syncing tools to make talking avatars and deep fakes. Plus the open source AI video tools ComfyUI and AnimateDiff. Ever since OpenAI announced Sora the world of AI video tools has exploded and is a lot of fun.
