Had a great shot of a woman dancing in tight shorts , minimax kept rejecting it. Maybe u could find out which one is most censored. Body parts, blood, horror, celebs, politicians... Be good to see which comes out on top.
Sora 😂 In fact, they are the best on the market so it’s a great video! can perhaps see which model manages to keep the best consistency of character with several different images of a character (my biggest difficulty until now in addition to the animation of the movement without aberration...). Minimax looks like amazing to animate but like you said, little ergonomic amplitude
You read my mind! I was just going to search MiniMax vs Runway Gen 3! Yes! MiniMax still produces excellent prompt response and motion, color and images. Now I really need to do some lip sync with those videos. But relatively cheaply. Another great comparison video from you! Thanks.
Minimax need to add start and end Frames. Also need to disable talking by default. When people need talking, they can prompt "talking" or add lip sync feature.
Kling must add unlimited option, its the biggest downside for me. As a long video creator, i need that option otherwise i will overpay their system, thats why im still going with runway. Im creating at least 15 min videos right now (imagine finishing 15 fast hours on midjourney within 10 days). Runway's unlimited is slower than credit using generation, but its still very fast. But biggest downside about runway is too much censorship. Its very sensitive, i tried using minimax and kling with the same images they did generate what i want. I heard they will update their prompting issues very soon btw, so i think im going for runway for sometime (if minimax release huge update i will definetly go for it) And about color issues, its not an issue for me because im always rearranging the colors after the generations. And huge thanks Tao, love you and your content mate. You will be 500K in 1 and a half years max (screenshot this for future proof ;) )
I agree that Kling needs an unlimited plan like the other platforms. It's pretty annoying to run out of credits even with the highest paid tier. I do also find runway censoring a lot of videos even if they have pretty tame content. And thanks for the support! I hope this channel will keep growing 👍
Tried both MiniMax and Runway. MiniMax so far. I did not like how the default setting on Runway's $35 monthly paid plan still shows their logo. Usually after opting in for a paid software subscription, the logo or watermark are automatically gone. Also the tech support was slow and I don't need to know the pronouns of the tech support people.
@@gumby3057 The watermarks are removed on the paid Runway plans. Maybe it's a glitch with your account. I'm going to try Minimax next though. Hopefully they add more features soon.
Is there a way I can contact u and ask a few questions on Facebook or Ig? I’m tryna use this to create visuals for my music I didn’t know u could make such long videos
Great video!❤ “I’m looking for an AI tool that can quickly translate UA-cam videos into Danish and play them with Danish speech. Ideally, it should be able to extract subtitles, translate them, and then use text-to-speech technology to provide the audio in Danish, all in sync with the video. Any recommendations or solutions would be greatly appreciated!”
kling is the best choice for me, I work in graphic design, I just need videos of rendering 3D objects in motion. with 1 photo and prompt command, I spent 500 credits on Runway but did not get the desired result, but Kling after 2 times had very good results. I have not tried with Minimax, thank you for creating useful videos
As a busy person, I cannot take Kling's waiting time anymore. Even with paid tier, I find myself waiting 45 minutes per generation. And it's not even guaranteed that the video is going to be coherent. I've used 3 of them, and I think Minimax is a balance of Kling and Runway. Everything about Runway is good but the subjects just doesn't do much. It's almost always a default slow motion shot with nothing much happening with the subjects no matter what prompt I put in. And they always turn into this 3D character for some reason.
I have a big tik tok channel where I show AI stuff. Animations, fusions... Got the biggest Kling package and the minimax unlimited. In 8/10 examples I prefer the quality of Kling. But minimax is great most of the time as well, but just not that perfect. I prompt every image with minimax as it's unlimited and only if minimax doesn't get it right I use the credits from Kling. Last month I generated 2400 pictures on midjourney as a reference for how much I use these tools...
Hey Tao, thanks so much for sharing the time/money spent on these video generators. IMHO, Minimax from a neutral standpoint cinematically has the most going for it. These companies are going to keep adding more features, get bought out etc, but from your presentation there's two things that stand out to me that make Minimax the most intriguing. Aside from prompt/artifact stability, it's the easing and gamma/color. Minimax's sense of camera motion is very natural and the elements in space are spatially connected in terms of depth, very fluid. It would be great if that can be adjusted in time (quad, expo etc) with further developments. The second is gamma (b/w) and color. It comes from a neutral origin. Just like in MidJourney, it's more gray/flat so you can add in adjustments like saturation instead of having to undo anything done in addition to flatter the image. Yeah, it might look great without editing, but what if you want to? Hey, since you can describe film stock, I'm wondering if you could tell it to render as LOG footage (lol). Thanks again!
I've found myself going to Minimax more and more recently. It is the most stable for me and has a really high percentage of usable videos 👍. I haven't heard of it being able to do any thing like log footage yet
Great comparisons Tao! I've had the same experiences and share the same opinions as you with all 3 tools. Runway was the 1st tool that I had experiences with, so I am hoping they will make a comeback with some cool updates. For now Hailuo is very smooth, follows prompts, and is getting me what I need with a lot of my videos.
Nice one, guys. I have one issue with Hailuo, though. Maybe you can guide me on it. It concerns changing the face of the character(s). In the animation, the face doesn't remain the same with the picture, but Kling does better by retaining the face
what u recommend for content creation? I wanted to buy Kling, but they don't have unlimited videos on his Premier version, also Minimax only exports on 720p
Hey, with Kling's highest paid tier you can create a ton of videos, even though it's not unlimited. I've only ran out once. I'd recommend starting with Kling, they have a big discount for the first month. If after that you find that you need more video generations, I'd switch to Minimax
Thank you for this. We make AI animations and currently use Runway AI. I agree and great info - Runway does not follow prompts correctly at times and yes I speed up the animation in post when it’s too slow (your example of the woman crying), but the unlimited feature and speed is key for us to generate 3 animated videos a week. What are your thoughts on having Runway and Minimax?
Runway has the worst animations. But they are always releasing new features and the unlimted plan is a plus. If it's working for you right now, I'd keep using it
I can't get minimax to produce a video from a POV style image, walking around and exploring! Do you have any tips for me to be able to reproduce this movement?
Hey, it works for me when I use POV images like hiking in the forest or hands on the handlebars of a bike. I didn't use any prompts, just animated the images directly
Nice video, thank you. Did you do the tests in Runway only using Gen3 Alpha turbo? Because Gen 3 Alpha gives much different animation style than Turbo version. More in Minimax style.
Thanks for pointing that out, I typically use turbo. Although based on my experience the Turbo version and Alpha version are pretty similar. If that's changed, I need to go try it again 👍
@taoprompts Non Turbo version is much different. I usually use Turbo because it is more accurate in following the assignment. But Non Turbo version adds more movements.
I have an IG profile and a UA-cam channel for which I've had to create hundreds of images with Midjourney and then animate them. I've made thousands, literally, of images, and I've tried every AI text-to-video generator available. Kling is definitely very, very good, and although I've used it for 90% of my creations, once I discovered Minimax, I saw it was superior. It usually nails what I ask for on the first try and does things that Kling does worse or can't handle. Additionally, the unlimited subscription definitely tips the balance in its favor. With Kling, I was spending my entire paycheck. Runway also has an unlimited subscription, but honestly, there's not much to say about it. No comments. The lip-sync feature is nice, and in Act One, it's pretty cool, but you can't make a movie just with that. As someone who mainly uses image-to-video, I honestly think Runway is the worst option out there. You have to retry a thousand times to get something decent, and it basically only knows how to do zooms and tracking shots. Not to mention its absurd censorship policy. I honestly don’t understand how people keep buying it. I felt ripped off when I paid the $90.
I agree that Minimax takes a lot less tries to get a good video. It really follows prompts well. I think Runways base video model just isn't as high quality as the others
My 100 dollars gone Purchased Runway few days ago and all of the things you said are true, I thought I was making a mistake giving it prompts, it never do what I tells it to do
If you have the unlimited plan it's not bad, you can always try different prompts. Sometimes a few different keywords can make a big difference. But in general I'd say Kling or Minimax is better
Yeah, MiniMax has been my favorite ever since they released image to vide - just so frustrating that they are taking so long to add more advanced features.
@@taoprompts Yeah - but they seem to be making efforts to expand - they recently sponsored an AI filmmaker meetup with Curious Refuge here in Los Angeles and are also organizing meetups in other cities around the world.
@taoprompts Thanks for the reply. I tried Kling and hated the wait time. I would try to create the simplest prompt and it literally took all night and then there was times it didn't generate anything. I was about to pay for kling until I experienced the horrible generation times I was getting.
The only reason I would pick up Runway is the Video to Video option. It makes aaaalll the difference. But not everyone will really use it. Do you know if Kilg or Minimax have any plan to include something similar to Video to video on next updates? Nice video btw!
Hmm, I haven't tried to video to video option, I should take a look at it. For Kling their next big update is consistent character videos, I'm not sure about Minimax. But I haven't heard either one mention video-to-video. I think there's just not enough people who use that feature.
@@taoprompts That would be really cool if you could make a video talking about it. In MY case, video to video is the feature I would use the most cuz I am a DoP and a video editor. I shoot a lot of music videos (you can check those if you want hah) and I`m looking forward to use this vid to vid on some of my next projects. I would shoot the whole film normally, with a camera, and I would `convert` every take into new ones using Runway, after the editing is done. I will also work to get some visual consistency across the whole timeline. Gonna take a while but I think that could work
@@IgorDoval your videos look great man! Based on what I've seen the visual consistency appears to be the hardest part, especially if you need a consistent character
Some one pls HELP. How do I get access to any of them? I can't get on the waitlist for runway, Minimax is in Chinese and the site doesn't work, and for Kling, my outlook and Gmail emails won't work to sign up?
Minimax handles input images the best and understands prompts very well. You can try to make many objects move. But Kling is the best in generating text2video, and 10 seconds. Also, I hope that an update may come out soon. We'll see. We live in an amazing time-the AI revolution is mesmerizing. Thank you and good generation everyone!
Nim video generation is pretty interesting too. Despite low quality, bad video extend and image to video results and not as good as HailuoAI, the Nim AI follows the prompts almost to perfection but still with some flaws.
I have no idea why people even keep talking about Runway since it can't follow a prompt - I've tested it a lot. Also it censors everything, even quite innocent stuff. It's also darn expensive. It's a real loser even though it's been around the longest.
I’m brand new to AI video..first one I seen was runway..and I’m using it mainly for image to video..and I must say I’m not impressed one bit..it’s costs a fortune to get one decent ‘useable’ video imo….i will be making a lot of gaming banners witch will obviously content “Text” which would you suggest, in regards of animation and correct spelling?
Tao, please tell me about Vidu and Haiper, I have had better results with them for some videos, Vidu follows the commands very well, and Haiper has great results and quality
Completely agree with your verdicts.I just wasted 100 dollars on runway which should have gone to minimax. Kling sometimes gives me errors for my prompts for some reason i don't understand. Anyways, bottomline is that China is beating US when it comes to AI video generation that is for sure.
I got lip movement from character but there is no sound in speaking 😂😂, sir can you please tell mee how to make character speak that the audience can here In minimax?😅
I never understood why people use Runway, I think it's the perceived value, because it's the most expensive program people think its the best lol, Runway never gave me good results, the best thing about Runway in my opinion is Interpolation option. Kling has always been the king, until Minimax came out, now Minimax leads and Kling is the second.
By the way, you should be using Runway's "Gen-3 Alpha" not "Gen-3 Alpha Turbo" if you want to see the best quality from Runway and have a fair comparison. Gen-3 Alpha Turbo is lower quality and worse animation than Gen-3 Alpha.
@taoprompts There is a massive difference in quality, fidelity, colours, movement, animation. Turbo is pretty bad at most things compared to the main model.
Good to see an updated version of this comparison! Sad that Runway isn't the top, they've definitely got the great features but the model itself isn't very good...
I primarily use Kling and Minimax. It’s hit or miss with both, but the chances with Minimax doing something weird with hands is greater than the others. You’re wasting a lot of credits when it does that. I don’t mind when the output is slow motion. I can fix that in my movie editor.
Of course it's then more expensive after you speed up the video! For example: it needs to speed up 3 x, then an originally 10 sec. video is shrinked to about 3.33 secs ... so you have generate another video(s) then ... That means you're wasting a lot of credits too.
@ it’s not a waste if it’s a generation that’s useable. Warping, and weird movement is unusable At any speed, which makes me have to do multiple generations before it gives me something that I want.
@@Jamaicafunk What I meant was this: You need a 10 second video... You're lucky and use a generator that generates a good video the first time and at the right speed. Now you use Kling, which also produces a good video right away, but it's too slow. You have to speed it up three times. That means you still have a third of the 10 second video available. You have to fill up the rest with credits. If I had been lucky and the ten second video had been created with Kling both well and at the right speed, it would of course have been cheaper.
this has real potential but is still a long way from creating professional films with it i think it will be the end of 2025 that the first ai anime movie will be released on netflix
Thanks for this as I am just beginning to get more serious with AI video generators. This was a very informative video and gave me a clearer understanding on which would be the best fit for the type of videos i want to make. The only thing I wish was included was a price comparison per credits but i can find that out pretty easy thanks for the great vid!
@@butchatv6397 Depends on budget. 2 have unlimited mini & run. Mini has top up credits which last for 2 years (which is awesome). U gotta sub using $10 a month . Kling uses 10 credits and 35 credits $35 gets you 3000 ish. They have s higher one for 8000. krea is a hidden gem. 60 bucks and you get all 4 big ones : runway, minimax, kling, luma. ... works our 150+ gen on some and 200-300 on others (per month)
Great to know this was helpful! To get a good deal, I'd recommend going with the unlimited plan for Runway or Minimax. Otherwise you have to keep buying credits. For a smaller budget Luma is actually decent
Really great comparison. I find it really hard to decide which is best because it seems that every day one has a slight edge over the other as they add new features.
Minimax definitely needs features! Such expensive services for extremely rough alpha software and they want to charge so much per gen which most of which won’t turn out how you want. Sad.
Minimax was great until they slapped on a bunch of brainless censorship. "Candy drops from the sky. Some kids catch the candy." was censored. I finally got the prompt through when I changed "Children" or "Kids" to "Men". The thing being censored was the concept of CHILDREN. I hope that a new competitor comes (maybe not in China?) that blows Kling and Minimax away without that weird censorship. I did the same prompt on Kling, and it went through, but a picture of Jim Carrey covered in blood did not. If they expect studios to use these at some point, they're not gonna be able to censor blood. I had Kristen Bell in a bloody dress and it worked, but it interpreted the blood as free flowing pieces of fabric, so it fluttered as she walked. It was kind of fascinating. It's weird how amazing these videos can be at times, and then I get complete garbage at other times.
Censorship is annoying to deal with. However, there are some open-sourced video models out there like the new Mochi 1 model which won't have the censorship issues with closed-source models
Hi thanks for your very nice videos. The question is: All these videos that pets want to make, what kind of attribution do they have? They are recreational videos, because if all the users wanted to make Distribute their videos to American producers, there would be no room for everyone. So: who are these thousands of videos that everyone wants to make believing they are all directors for? Bye.
Runway does still have a motion brush but only available in Gen 2. You do great videos! It's so nice that you keep them compact and totally to the point. You get more in 5 to 10 minutes than many do in 30 minutes! I have gone with Runway for now because of the unlimited plan. But pay monthly so I can change at any time. I tried Minimax maybe a few weeks ago and my Virus scan (McAfee) kept saying there were viruses. So I gave up. Will go try again and hopefully won't get that this time.
That's true, Gen 2 does have the motion brush! I wonder why they haven't added it to Gen 3 yet, I'm sure people would use it. It's weird minimax is alerting your antivirus, I use chrome and haven't had any issues with that.
I find runway tends to struggle with a lot of motion and it does better at still fairly videos. It is decent at preserving the details and sharpness though
What other comparisons do you want to see?
Had a great shot of a woman dancing in tight shorts , minimax kept rejecting it.
Maybe u could find out which one is most censored. Body parts, blood, horror, celebs, politicians...
Be good to see which comes out on top.
Try pixverse V3

Minimax need to add start and end Frames. Also need to disable talking by default. When people need talking, they can prompt "talking" or add lip sync feature.
They animate people talking too often, it does get kind of annoying

So glad I watched your video. I almost went back to Runway. Thank you.
Runway does release a lot of updates, but the animations aren't as good as the others
Can someone tell me how to get extended videos? Do you have to do multiple videos and connect them together.
yeah, take the last frame of a video and use it as the reference image to a new video. Then you combine them
Which one is the best for creating stock footage or adding movement to still images without people?
I would use Minimax or Runway

based on what I've seen Minimax handles elements like that pretty well

Yeah, MiniMax has been my favorite ever since they released image to vide - just so frustrating that they are taking so long to add more advanced features.
I've heard they got a super small team, less than 10 people. Hopefully they start adding more engineers to give us new features 👍
@@taoprompts Yeah - but they seem to be making efforts to expand - they recently sponsored an AI filmmaker meetup with Curious Refuge here in Los Angeles and are also organizing meetups in other cities around the world.
Thanks for doing this
your videos are always informative and on point, specially when you reveal their weakness and flaws. Thanks!!!!
Thank you! They all have strengths and weaknesses, although they're improving super fast
you can fix the Kling contrast thing, prompting , low contrast.. and its done.
that's true, you can control the colors through the prompt
Is minimax and hailuo the same thing??
yeah Hailuo is the parent company name
Which would you use for horror niche story telling?
I haven't made horror videos before, I don't know. Kling is good overall though.
@taoprompts Thanks for the reply. I tried Kling and hated the wait time. I would try to create the simplest prompt and it literally took all night and then there was times it didn't generate anything. I was about to pay for kling until I experienced the horrible generation times I was getting.
how many seconds can both 3 generate? (in paid version)
runway and minimax have unlimited plans. For Kling it depends on what features you use
The only reason I would pick up Runway is the Video to Video option. It makes aaaalll the difference. But not everyone will really use it. Do you know if Kilg or Minimax have any plan to include something similar to Video to video on next updates? Nice video btw!
Hmm, I haven't tried to video to video option, I should take a look at it.
For Kling their next big update is consistent character videos, I'm not sure about Minimax. But I haven't heard either one mention video-to-video. I think there's just not enough people who use that feature.
@@taoprompts That would be really cool if you could make a video talking about it. In MY case, video to video is the feature I would use the most cuz I am a DoP and a video editor. I shoot a lot of music videos (you can check those if you want hah) and I`m looking forward to use this vid to vid on some of my next projects. I would shoot the whole film normally, with a camera, and I would `convert` every take into new ones using Runway, after the editing is done. I will also work to get some visual consistency across the whole timeline. Gonna take a while but I think that could work
@@IgorDoval your videos look great man! Based on what I've seen the visual consistency appears to be the hardest part, especially if you need a consistent character
I brought kling and I'm regretting. If your image is simple and your prompt is simple then it works very good butttt when it started complex..........
Kling does a pretty good job of following prompts in my experience, especially human motions. Although there's a limit to what AI can do right now
6:28 vs 6:38 Notice the reflection of the flames on the walls between Minimax and Kling.
They are both very good with animating fire 👍
@@taoprompts Sorry, I didn't mean the flames, I meant the reflection of the flames. I've edited the comment.
I can't get good motion with Runway. I use Grok and try things. I use AI music, that is really good. The motion sucks with Runway. Should I try Kling?
Yeah, Kling or Minimax will give you better motion
are kling allowed commercial use?
I think if you have a paid plan it's fine
Which image generator do u use?
Mostly Midjourney
Interesting I would pick minimax
It has some of the best animations I've seen 👍
I want to fuse animals from image to video using runwayml, any solution, prompt,?
Using paid version
try this video from Mr. lemon: ua-cam.com/video/I8to22cwNxU/v-deo.htmlsi=-JjB0dnYh3R4VtC4
@taoprompts not working well, every different prompts work,no specific prompts working for it using runwayml,
Tutorial for this using runwayml
Some one pls HELP. How do I get access to any of them? I can't get on the waitlist for runway, Minimax is in Chinese and the site doesn't work, and for Kling, my outlook and Gmail emails won't work to sign up?
For Minimax go to hailuo.video which is the english site. I signed up for runway & kling a while ago but I used gmail accounts
Whoever gets lip sync spot on will win the Ai video race! Minimax defo killing it the most id say
I hope Minimax adds lip sync, they already do a good job of animating people speaking
Minimax handles input images the best and understands prompts very well. You can try to make many objects move. But Kling is the best in generating text2video, and 10 seconds. Also, I hope that an update may come out soon. We'll see. We live in an amazing time-the AI revolution is mesmerizing.
Thank you and good generation everyone!
Minimax is also great at following directions for camera motions!
I've subscribed runway and minmax, but I still wonder if Kling can be faster after subscribe
yeah it's faster if you have a paid plan
Nim video generation is pretty interesting too. Despite low quality, bad video extend and image to video results and not as good as HailuoAI, the Nim AI follows the prompts almost to perfection but still with some flaws.
I've seen some videos from it, it has a slow framerate atm. But the videos look ok
I have no idea why people even keep talking about Runway since it can't follow a prompt - I've tested it a lot. Also it censors everything, even quite innocent stuff. It's also darn expensive. It's a real loser even though it's been around the longest.
I think Runway has the best marketing strategy. Although based on animation ability, it's not as good as the others
Too bad the minimax is fps25. there is no fps30 setting, is there?
I don't think there's anyway to change the fps
I’m brand new to AI video..first one I seen was runway..and I’m using it mainly for image to video..and I must say I’m not impressed one bit..it’s costs a fortune to get one decent ‘useable’ video imo….i will be making a lot of gaming banners witch will obviously content “Text” which would you suggest, in regards of animation and correct spelling?
I'd recommend generating the image with "text" first and then animating it. Runway works decently for that
@@taoprompts lol iv
Swapped to Minimax bud..its 10x better
Tao, please tell me about Vidu and Haiper, I have had better results with them for some videos, Vidu follows the commands very well, and Haiper has great results and quality
I haven't tried those out much myself
Completely agree with your verdicts.I just wasted 100 dollars on runway which should have gone to minimax. Kling sometimes gives me errors for my prompts for some reason i don't understand. Anyways, bottomline is that China is beating US when it comes to AI video generation that is for sure.
Kling does sometimes censor prompts randomly, but for the most part it works well for me also
I've actually been really quite disappointed with Runway. for the cost the results are pretty average
yeah I'd say their animations aren't as good as the other ones
So sad Luma not in the comparison list😢
I haven't used Luma much lately, it seems like they haven't updated too much
Did anyone say a little woohoo when she jumped in the air at the top of the stairs? Whot? Only me? Nevermind.
very good video thanks
What about luma ai
It's not as good overall
I got lip movement from character but there is no sound in speaking 😂😂, sir can you please tell mee how to make character speak that the audience can here
In minimax?😅
Minimax doesn't have any features for sound
What about krea
from what I've seen, it's not as good
Doesnt it have runway and minimax and others all in one
Another banger video!
Thanks! I need to make more comparison vids
@taoprompts We will gladly watch all your informative videos. The world is fast changing with this AI revolution, and we need to adapt to it.
Amazing Comparison
I never understood why people use Runway, I think it's the perceived value, because it's the most expensive program people think its the best lol, Runway never gave me good results, the best thing about Runway in my opinion is Interpolation option. Kling has always been the king, until Minimax came out, now Minimax leads and Kling is the second.
Runway also has really great marketing, I think that helps their reputation a lot
@@taoprompts 100%, sadly marketing is everything nowadays..
So helpful, thank you!
Glad this helped man!
Your Videos are always to the point, love it
Thanks! I'm excited for the next big AI video update
@@taoprompts Yeah same here man.. they gonna start it off from Scratch so should be intertesting
Very informative as always!
Thanks Chad! Great to hear from you again 👍
Great I think minimax is the best option for most realistic
They have the best animations imo
@@taoprompts
Hello, I'm new here. How can I create a sequence of the videos I generate, or do I have to edit it myself every 6 seconds?
China's dominating AI rn
They definitely have the best Ai videos imo
By the way, you should be using Runway's "Gen-3 Alpha" not "Gen-3 Alpha Turbo" if you want to see the best quality from Runway and have a fair comparison. Gen-3 Alpha Turbo is lower quality and worse animation than Gen-3 Alpha.
I've used both and haven't noticed a big difference. I'd say that Gen-3 Alpha has the same problems and limitations I've mentioned in this comparison.
@taoprompts There is a massive difference in quality, fidelity, colours, movement, animation. Turbo is pretty bad at most things compared to the main model.
If you're generating nature like animals, which one would be better?
Kling is pretty good with animals
@@taoprompts wow you replied!! thank you so much for your help!! :)
very good !
Keep up with the context
Amazing video Tao, thanks for sharing this
I appreciate that man, I've wanted to do a comparison vid for a while
@@taoprompts 😅me too, In fact I already did it some comparison. I agree with you in most topics.
Hedra AI is best Lip Sync IMO
I've heard Hedra works well also 👍
Good to see an updated version of this comparison! Sad that Runway isn't the top, they've definitely got the great features but the model itself isn't very good...
Thanks! I really hope they update their base model, I'd rather have a great video model than the extra features
I primarily use Kling and Minimax. It’s hit or miss with both, but the chances with Minimax doing something weird with hands is greater than the others. You’re wasting a lot of credits when it does that. I don’t mind when the output is slow motion. I can fix that in my movie editor.
Of course it's then more expensive after you speed up the video! For example: it needs to speed up 3 x, then an originally 10 sec. video is shrinked to about 3.33 secs ... so you have generate another video(s) then ... That means you're wasting a lot of credits too.
@ it’s not a waste if it’s a generation that’s useable. Warping, and weird movement is unusable
At any speed, which makes me have to do multiple generations before it gives me something that I want.
@@Jamaicafunk What I meant was this: You need a 10 second video... You're lucky and use a generator that generates a good video the first time and at the right speed. Now you use Kling, which also produces a good video right away, but it's too slow. You have to speed it up three times. That means you still have a third of the 10 second video available. You have to fill up the rest with credits. If I had been lucky and the ten second video had been created with Kling both well and at the right speed, it would of course have been cheaper.
Hmm, I've had more luck with Minimax than Kling for human animations. Although both struggle when the hands are small inside the image frame
@ Kling has been unreliable recently.
this has real potential but is still a long way from creating professional films with it
i think it will be the end of 2025 that the first ai anime movie will be released on netflix
I'm working with professionals right now!
Thanks for this as I am just beginning to get more serious with AI video generators. This was a very informative video and gave me a clearer understanding on which would be the best fit for the type of videos i want to make. The only thing I wish was included was a price comparison per credits but i can find that out pretty easy thanks for the great vid!
@@butchatv6397
Depends on budget.
2 have unlimited mini & run.
Mini has top up credits which last for 2 years (which is awesome). U gotta sub using $10 a month .
Kling uses 10 credits and 35 credits $35 gets you 3000 ish.
They have s higher one for 8000.
krea is a hidden gem. 60 bucks and you get all 4 big ones : runway, minimax, kling, luma. ... works our 150+ gen on some and 200-300 on others (per month)
Great to know this was helpful!
To get a good deal, I'd recommend going with the unlimited plan for Runway or Minimax. Otherwise you have to keep buying credits.
For a smaller budget Luma is actually decent
Really great comparison. I find it really hard to decide which is best because it seems that every day one has a slight edge over the other as they add new features.
Thanks! By the end of 2025, the best ai video tools might be totally different 👍
Kling is good❤❤❤
They keep adding new features!
Fantastically helpful, thanks very much 😊
Thanks Haydn, I'd be interested to see your take on Minimax also 👍
How about Luma? Why didn't you test it?
Luma isn't as good as these other three in my experience
Minimax definitely needs features! Such expensive services for extremely rough alpha software and they want to charge so much per gen which most of which won’t turn out how you want. Sad.
They should add in video extension for sure
It was very interesting and useful video. you are the best. 💥💥💥
Thanks Sean! I appreciate you 👊🔥
I would say Kling's lipsync is the best but their audio flagging makes it next to useless
I've heard a lot of people getting censored with the audio files right now
Minimax was great until they slapped on a bunch of brainless censorship. "Candy drops from the sky. Some kids catch the candy." was censored. I finally got the prompt through when I changed "Children" or "Kids" to "Men". The thing being censored was the concept of CHILDREN. I hope that a new competitor comes (maybe not in China?) that blows Kling and Minimax away without that weird censorship.
I did the same prompt on Kling, and it went through, but a picture of Jim Carrey covered in blood did not. If they expect studios to use these at some point, they're not gonna be able to censor blood. I had Kristen Bell in a bloody dress and it worked, but it interpreted the blood as free flowing pieces of fabric, so it fluttered as she walked. It was kind of fascinating. It's weird how amazing these videos can be at times, and then I get complete garbage at other times.
Censorship is annoying to deal with. However, there are some open-sourced video models out there like the new Mochi 1 model which won't have the censorship issues with closed-source models
Do not forget Luma! Great video btw
Thanks brother! Nice comparison. I subscribed to your channel.
Thanks for subbing man!
I agree with your entire assessment!
Great to hear you have the same thoughts! I'm planning on testing out other AI videos as well 👍
@@taoprompts Amazing - looking forward to them!
Hi thanks for your very nice videos. The question is: All these videos that pets want to make, what kind of attribution do they have? They are recreational videos, because if all the users wanted to make Distribute their videos to American producers, there would be no room for everyone. So: who are these thousands of videos that everyone wants to make believing they are all directors for? Bye.
WOW! Great work, thanks a lot, you have a new subscriber!
Thanks for subbing!
AMAZING!! Thank you!
Runway does still have a motion brush but only available in Gen 2. You do great videos! It's so nice that you keep them compact and totally to the point. You get more in 5 to 10 minutes than many do in 30 minutes! I have gone with Runway for now because of the unlimited plan. But pay monthly so I can change at any time. I tried Minimax maybe a few weeks ago and my Virus scan (McAfee) kept saying there were viruses. So I gave up. Will go try again and hopefully won't get that this time.
That's true, Gen 2 does have the motion brush!
I wonder why they haven't added it to Gen 3 yet, I'm sure people would use it.
It's weird minimax is alerting your antivirus, I use chrome and haven't had any issues with that.
For me it's kling
Totally agree!!
Is this paid? Minimax???
yeah
100% agree, great video.Tthanks...
Runway needs to update their base model, I mean wtf is that.
I find runway tends to struggle with a lot of motion and it does better at still fairly videos. It is decent at preserving the details and sharpness though
Minimax should be called greatmax
Agreed! It's a great platform
