Reviews

Pros

  • Very easy to use, with a simple text-based interface on Discord.
  • It's in a beta phase and the free plan is very generous, making it highly accessible to experimenters and creators.
  • The community aspect is a major benefit, allowing users to share prompts and creations.
  • The tool is constantly being updated with new features, such as camera control and creative animations.
  • It excels at creating subtle, realistic motions from still images.

Cons

  • The quality of the video output can be inconsistent and often requires a lot of prompt engineering to get the desired result.
  • The animations are currently limited to a few seconds and can't handle fast or complex movements well.
  • As a new product, it's not yet a reliable tool for professional or commercial use unless you pay for a premium plan.
  • The Discord-only interface can be clunky for some users and is not as feature-rich as a dedicated application.
  • The best results often come from using a high-quality image from a different AI tool, adding a step to the workflow.

Areas for Improvement

  • Improve the consistency and quality of video generation, especially with complex movements.
  • Increase the maximum length of generated videos.
  • Develop a dedicated web or desktop application to improve the user experience beyond Discord.
  • Refine the AI's ability to handle human anatomy and complex scenes without distortion.
