Summary
A battle of the best AI video tools: Runway Gen 3, Kling, Luma Dream Machine, and Pixverse. Each AI video tool has had a major update recently so this is the perfect time for a prompt battle. I test each AI video tool across over 20 prompts, also compare pricing, features, the best free plan, text to video, image to video, and much more. A brief tutorial of each platform as well. Runway Gen 3 and Kling AI are both extremely high fidelity, Luma AI Dream Machine and Pixverse are a little behind in some areas, but great cheaper options. Discover which AI video tool is right for you.

thanks for this work and comparison. I know how much time this must take.

10/10 !

At last, somebody who tells things how they really are. I have been using Rynway and kling on the premium tier on both and after hundreds of trials and errors in each on them I stopped my Gen3 subscription and I only will use Kling from now on. It's way better in my opinion in almost every aspect. Gen3 sometimes needs 4, 5 or more prompts to actually have something usable but not really good. Kling understands prompts much better, doesn't necessitate to do a dozen prompts to have a good result, sometimes on the first try it's near perfect, it accepts all kind of image ratios without the need to crop like in Gen3, etc.
I'm so glad to have tested extensively both of them, cause now I'm truly sure to make the right choice choosing Kling.

😎You are Awesome, Man, I really appreciate you and your in-depth work!! Runway user here, but may go with Kling in a month or two, hehe, unless Runway fixes their prompting very soon for much better control and accuracy of human motions, which I am sure they will do before the end of this year. Cheers.

Great video! Just to clarify, you can technically specify an End Frame in Runway too; you just have to choose between using a Start frame or End frame, without an option currently to have both. So when you upload the image you can choose to just set it as the End Frame in the toggle option below the image. (Though so far I haven't gotten great results from doing that). I also noticed that the default resolutions that these programs use is different, for example Runway videos were 1280x768, while Luma's were 1360x752, might matter to some people, especially if you are using videos from multiple programs, just keep in mind the difference in sizes. It would be nice if the other players offered unlimited plans, because if you are working on very long projects only Runway is viable right now.

another great video! the comparisons are very helpful not to mention the added insights you offer on challenges of each platform and what they do best. Bravo!

One of the best AI video comparison videos I've seen! A lot is covered and everything straight to the point. Thank you so much!

[richardglady]

Thank you for all your research and putting this video together in a very coherent and informative way.

[manuelahofer]

Thank you. Yes, Kling and Runway seem to be among the best options so far imo.

It was mentioned a few times, but as someone who subscribed to Runway on the unlimited plan for one month, it bears repeating. Runway will moderate (generation blocked) when you try to use text, and also randomly at other times when not using text. These are incorrect moderations that will force you to abandon whatever you just tried to use, it's never going to work. The amount of time I wasted on that made me unsubscribe. It was much worse than just inconvenient, they have a real problem.

I love these videos, sit back, do nothing, and see the results. Good job man. And yes, that video was f'ing hilarious. 👍

[BybbyCreme]

fantastic video. just what we needed! however, Runway is still too expensive for me and I still can´t access Kling :/
I guess, it depends a lot on the shot you want, also. Liked the slo-mo of Pixverse and the writing of Luma

[Awesome_AIs]

Great breakdown! Very comprehensive, engaging, and useful. Thanks!

Thanks for the comparison. Very detailed and very near to the users. ... and now i ll give kling a try, after i already tried all the other ones :D

[vidaveo]

Thanks, this was super useful. I'm working on a short sci-fi film, which is mainly live action, and I have some VFX done traditionally, but AI is enabling me to add shots which are way beyond my budget. Just a little frustrating about how little 'specific' control I'm getting over the final outputs and how inconsistent the outputs are, even using the same prompts. I'm using Kling and I've noticed that when I shift to Professional mode it's chance of poor image to video renderings increases enormously. But persevering (and watching the credit card payments mount up). Thanks for this review in particular, I was considering switching to Runway, but you've convinced me to stay the course with Kling (for now). Cheers!

Appreciate the effort that you put into this video. 🙌

Vidu has character consistency even in text to video since a week ago if u want to do a video on that. I think it's a feature a lot of people are looking for and if it's realised they have it maybe the others will finally get it too. Just watching this looks like others can do it image to video but ud always need an image of the exact person in the scene u want

[aliceleblanc]

Love your videos, they're so helpful, educational and time saving ❤

[matthewfedder]

Would love any information/tutorials on companies exploring AI editing tools for cutting and putting together videos using user provided footage

[shaundellsh]

I knew Kling would have won from the first second

[WorldOfNikola]

Why is everyone ignoring Vidu? 😮 You're missing out!
