Everyone is using AI video generators to go viral and grow their accounts and brand with insane AI videos on socials. But with so many AI video generation tools out there, it can just be so difficult to know which ones offer the best eye-catching features that actually help you to gain attention and grow
00:15
online. Luckily, I've tried out almost every AI video generator out there over the last 3 years when creating virtual humans that power my company's soft skills training scenarios that are used by massive customers like Amazon and Pandora.
So, in today's video, I've broken down my top 10, covering features
00:32
like lip-s sync, animation presets, and price to help you find the best one for you. I've added in links down below in the description so that you can try them out for yourself.
And I've also included five bonus AI video tools at the end, which didn't quite make the list when I also reveal what I believe is the best
00:47
AI video generation platform out there. So, be sure to stick around.
With that being said, hit that subscribe button and let's jump into the first tool on today's list that features a number of AI video models. as well as AI UGC avatars.
So, Clipyard is one of the best AI video generation tools for shorts and
01:04
ads out there. It focuses on ad style UGC content, letting us spin a single script into dozens of selfie style shorts in 32 languages.
The USP here is that the in-house real and Vibe image models produce gritty foam camera stills that then a lip-sync module animates as
01:19
talking avatars or gesture loops on Clipyard. Plans are a little bit expensive, starting at £67 a month for 15 HD videos and 50 stills.
And then Pro doubles that coming in at £150 per month. It has a one-click product inhand avatar creation and caption burn-ins,
01:35
which are just absolutely amazing. And it also has a batch campaign builder which allows you to build out campaigns with just one click, generating 15, 30, 100 videos in just one single batch pipeline.
It's definitely got some of the most realistic and scroll stopping avatars and AI videos out there. And it
01:51
also comes with off-the-shelf video models including Clling V3 and Bite Dancer's Seeddream to create faceless content on top of your avatars. It's really interesting and definitely one to check out.
The next tool on today's list is less of a tool and more of a model, and it's Google's V3, which delivers
02:07
film grade 1080p clips with optional sound effects and lip sync, which is absolutely amazing. If you've seen any of the viral VO3 footage on socials, you'll know exactly what I mean.
The main downside here is that it is quite expensive to use. It is accessible through Gemini and you get a few three
02:23
runs, but then a single 10-second video can cost up to $10, especially if you're adding in speech on top of the AI generated video. Now, the cool thing here is that it's actually available in lots of other AI video generation tools out there, including Clipyard that we've already seen and a few others on today's
02:38
list, which offsets the price. And the new V3 fast model offers a much more scalable and affordable way to create V3 models while maintaining some of the realism and offsetting that high price point.
100% want to jump in and try. Now, at number three, we've got Runway Gen 3 and Act One.
Runway's latest
02:56
models offer absolutely incredible video fidelity and character animation within a single platform. The standard tier is $12 per user per month for around 600 credits, which equates to around about a minute of Gen 4 Turbo.
And it also comes with some essential tools like custom
03:11
voice cloning with lip sync on the Pro Plus plan, and also timeline features with layers, masks, and motion brush. The downside with Runway, in my experience, is that the credit math can get a little bit tricky across all the different models, but certainly for creating things like highfidelity video, it's absolutely amazing and one of the
03:27
most fun to play around with. While V3 might have stolen its crown for the moment, I'm sure Runway is coming back with more and more features.
And while Runway's API is slightly hidden away and isn't freely commercially available, it is available via some third-party API websites like usepi.net net where you
03:43
can then plug it into things like your N8N workline or your own video flow to really try and experiment with things. At number four on our list of AI video generators, we've got Leonardo AI and particularly their video motion tools which has pivoted Leonardo from purely creating images into creating moving
03:59
images. Leonardo is probably best known for its AI image generation tools which are absolutely amazing and feature a number of different models.
And now they've added in video which allows us to find style control thanks to custom train models. And the flow state panel streams multiple variations of a video for quick iteration.
Now, if you're
04:15
already a Leonardo subscriber for images, it's a great addition and allows you to animate some of your images and pull out clips that can then be used in more pure video editing tools like Cat Cut or Adobe Premiere. The downside is that usage cost does jump when you look at some of the video models that Leonardo has added in.
And if you're a
04:32
subscriber, don't be surprised if your credits start to suddenly go down if you're generating hundreds of AI powered videos. At number five, we've got OpenAI Sora.
Now, Sora Turbo specifically brings 20- second 1080p text to video inside ChatGBT's interface or Sora's own
04:48
interface itself. ChatGBT Plus subscribers get 50 low res clips for $20 a month, and then Pro then raises this limit and resolution.
One of the coolest things about Sora is that its image, video, and text prompts all come into the same storyboard UI, allowing you to create amazing intricate scenes in a
05:05
really small amount of time. The community featured area is also great for idea mining and it's really interesting to see how people are using it.
The downside with Sora is that not every territory has it. So for example, some European countries still don't have access despite it being out for a long period of time and there is a watermark
05:21
output on all the videos unless you're a plus subscriber. The payoff here is it's probably one of the easiest video tools to use and it creates some absolutely amazing results.
And because it's from OpenAI, it's likely it's only going to get better in the foreseeable future. Number six on our list is one of my favorites and it's Cling.
This Chinese
05:38
AI video generator comes in at a really low price point with the standard price $699 per month for 600 credits and then pro scaling up to $25 a month for 3,000 credits of 1080p watermark free video. The new Cling Master Mode ups motion
05:54
quality but burns quite a lot of credits for just 5 seconds of video. Now, in my personal experience of using Clling for a long time, 1.9 is still probably the king of Cling.
2.1 is great, but in my opinion, it lacks some of that grittiness and prompt fidelity that 1.9
06:10
was just so good with. Cling also comes with some great features like Clink Elements where it quickly offers you stylized prompts to do things like explode or melt an image that you've uploaded.
And it's also got lip-s sync embedded, too. It's really fun.
Definitely worth checking out. And the price point makes it very accessible
06:27
indeed. Next on our list, we've got Seed Dance from Bite Dance and specifically the community fork of this open-source bundle.
Now, Seed Dance is actually an amazing video tool, but unless you're familiar with using APIs on tools like Replicate or FAL, it might be a little bit difficult to get into. Having said
06:43
that, if you do get into it and start using it, the quality of the videos is, in my opinion, up there with VA3, but for a fraction of the price. For example, where a 10-second video on V3 might cost $10, a 10-second video on Sea Dance is probably only going to cost a
06:59
few dollars itself, depending on the settings that you use. Seance also offers a really cool fixed camera or mobile camera mode.
So, you've got a nice amount of camera control from just a single click or prompt, which is often really useful if you're not familiar with some of the more detailed prompting around some of the AI video generation
07:14
models out there. Next up, we've got PA, which keeps pushing short form video creativity to the max.
Its standard plan comes in at $10 a month, which gets you around $700 video credits. And then Pro comes in at $35 per month, giving you around 2,000.
Its rapid 5-second clips
07:30
with key frame pick effects is absolutely amazing and really fun to use. And it also comes with multiple aspect ratios with everything from 52 to 916, which not all video models have.
Its free plan is also pretty generous if you don't mind having watermarks and limited commercial use. and it's got a
07:46
lightningast idea visualizer for social teasers and gift style loops. Its main downside is there isn't any lip syncing available and its sound is music only for now, but it is a really fun and exciting platform to get into and the UI is really nice as well.
Pix is one of my
08:01
favorite AI video generation suites out there and its latest model 4.5 comes with fusion and transitions which makes for amazingly smooth transitions and motion in videos that you create. You can get started on the basic tier for free, which comes with 60 credits.
And then if you want to export videos
08:16
without watermarks, pricing starts at around $10 a month, limiting you to 720p exports. And then pro plans start at $30 a month for full 1080p HD exports.
Its key frame control at start and end frames is absolutely killer and on a par with clings. And its daily credit tops
08:31
up, keeping experimentation cheap. The downside is that as I mentioned, the free tier is kind of capped at 360p.
The initial tier is then 720. And if you want 1080 HD, you need to start paying $30 a month.
Having said that, in my experience, Pix is well worth it if you're looking to create some of the
08:47
most realistic videos out there. At number 10, we've got one of the coolest, which is Luma Dream Machine.
Dream Machine uses Luma's Ray 2 model for realistic physics, and some of the videos it creates is absolutely insane. Some of the newer tools include modify video, where you can actually upload a
09:02
video and then completely replace the motion with a new scene, which is an absolute gamecher and just super fun to play around with. Now, light mode starts at $9.99 a month and buys you 3,200 credits.
And then plus mode starts at $29.99 a month and unlocks 10,000
09:19
credits and removes watermarks. When I've used Luma, the natural motion and light simulation is second to none and is absolutely amazing.
and it also comes with an iOS app that shares the same credit pool as web app. The main downside here is it does have a hard cap at 10 seconds per clip and the free tier
09:35
limits to images only. Having said that, if you need to create a gorgeousl looking video quickly, then Lumalabs is definitely worth checking out.
Okay, so that's the end of our top 10 list, but because there are just so many AI video generators out there and I wanted to bring you a good diverse selection across socials and more hardcore video
09:52
models, I've actually included five bonus tools that I'm going to go through right now. So, the first bonus tool is Halo's Miniax, which is absolutely incredible in itself.
Its standard plan starts at $14.99 a month for a,000 credits, and pro and master tips then scale up offering 1080p HD. Halo has
10:09
been behind a number of viral videos online, including their diving cat, which proves its physics engine is social media ready. And it's got some really fun motion controls, and it's low cost makes it a bit of a meme lab on socials.
Bonus tool number two is LTX Studio, and it's an all-in-one video
10:24
generation suite with a slightly unique take. You start off with a storyboard, cast AI, actors, and then render with things like Google's V3.
The standard price comes in at $35 a month for 28 800 compute seconds and commercial rights. There's a free forever mode with 800
10:40
compute seconds. And then light mode starts at $8 a month and standard mode at $35 a month increasing the number of compute seconds that you get.
It's shotby-shot control and export and signoff features are absolutely amazing if you're trying to create a really scene specific video. And it gives you a lot of control over what you're doing
10:57
within that video in terms of motion, actors, and speech. and it's definitely worth checking out on that free tip.
Bonus AI video generation tool number three is Hen. Hen is polished.
It's a camera crew in a tab and it comes with over 120 lifelike avatars, 300 voices
11:12
from 11 Labs and over 40 different languages, all with automatic lip sync. You can actually upload a single image in their talking photo mode or upload your own video and then clone yourself and get it to produce realistic avatar talking videos that last over 2 minutes plus.
Hey Jen have recently optimized
11:28
their video editor to make it really minimalist and seamless to use. And creator plans start at $29 a month, unlocking unlimited videos up to 5 minutes with one custom avatar.
And then team plans scaling up, allowing you to unlock more minutes and custom avatars. It's definitely worth checking out.
And
11:43
they also comes with an API plan if you want to plug it into things like N8N or your other workflows. Bonus tool number four is Video AI, which focuses on lightning fast text and image to video generation with clips appearing in roughly around 10 seconds and an off- peak mode that lets us render unlimited
12:00
drafts for free. The standout features include multi-reference consistency, allowing us to upload up to seven stills, so characters and props can stay on model.
And it also offers something called first and last frame control which is very similar to features seen in cling for smooth transitions and a
12:15
built-in AI sound effect generator and even an anime optimized motion engine. It comes with a generous free tier with around 80 credits a month with 4second watermark clips.
And then standard mode comes in at $9.99 a month and buys you 240 credits and extended videos. And our
12:31
final bonus number five AI video generator on today's list is V. Now, Vit is a video editing suite, but it does come with some AI video generation tools.
Specifically, it will actually use B-roll and some of your other footage to generate full videos from
12:47
your text prompt or your script. Simply add in the script that you want, upload any existing content you might have, and then in roughly around 5 minutes, it will push out a full audio narrated video with subtitles and B-roll in the background for you to then use for whatever you like.
The bonus here is that V comes with a full video editing
13:03
suite so that you can cut this, trim it, quickly switch things out, which is much more aligned to tools like Cap Cut or Adobe than some of the pure AI video generators we've seen on today's list. And because it's using B-roll rather than technically AI generated footage, it is really great at producing realistic content.
V have also recently
13:20
added in AI avatars and their own lip syncing tool as well as some AI video generation models. So, it's definitely worth checking out if you're looking for a full AI video editing suite with AI capabilities.
Okay, so which do I think is the best AI video generation tool or model out there? Well, I'm going to
13:36
split this down into a couple of categories. If you're looking to go viral on social media and grow your brand, your product, or your startup, then Clipyard is probably one of the best out there simply because it features a whole selection of models that we've kind of covered on this list already, as well as its own proprietary
13:53
image generation tool, which focuses on creating hyperrealistic AI UGC creators that you can then script. And it also adds in captions and automatically adds B-roll for things like your SAS, for things like your mobile app, which then plugs in at the end, saving you just a
14:08
ton of time and actually turning your videos into a lead generation tool to grow your business. If you're looking more on the creative side, then in my opinion, V3 and Clling are still absolutely amazing.
I'd also add in Runway ML here with the act one tool, which is just absolutely mind-blowing.
14:25
VA3 is commercially available to play with on Gemini and it's definitely worth jumping into and having a look at. And again, all of those three are available in other tools on today's list.
In my experience, one of the best things to do right now is to jump down into the description, click on all of the tools, go and try them out on their free tiers
14:41
and see which suits your needs the best, and then come back and let me know how you got on. Thanks so much for watching today's video.
I've popped a list up over here of other AI tools that you might find useful to unlock your potential and work faster and smarter rather than harder this year. Thanks so much for watching and subscribing and
14:57
I'll catch you again in the next video. See you.
