How to choose
No tool is best for everyone. Try two or three on one real task of yours, then use this checklist.
- How long and how sharp are the clips?Check the maximum clip length and resolution the tool offers on your plan.
- What does a test cost?Video tools often use credits. Do one small test first and see how many it uses.
- Can you use the video commercially?Read the licence and the rules for people, brands and music in your clips.
- Does it keep a character or style consistent?If you need several shots, test whether the tool can keep the same look.
- How is your footage handled?If you upload your own video or faces, read what the tool does with them.
- Does it label AI video?Platforms may require a disclosure for synthetic media. Check the rules where you publish.
Frequently asked questions
Can AI make a full movie?
Current tools mostly make short clips. Stitching a longer story still needs your planning and editing.
Is it OK to make videos of real people?
Only with their permission. Faking someone's face or voice can break the law and platform rules.
Why are results different each time?
Generation is random. Run the same prompt several times and pick the best.
