Prompt: Cinematic action shot in the style of an action movie with a drone pilot racing through a forest woodland at noon, navigating between trees. Sunlight streaking through leaves, close front follow angle, dynamic movement, high contrast, intense atmosphere, detailed composition Original image:

I used the same prompt for the image to generate each video, as I did several months ago for the same test below:

I think it's incredible how many good options we have available for image to video generation. I couldn't test every model, but feel free to share your results below:

Join me as I put several Machine Learning models head-to-head to see which one can beat the market and deliver strong returns. In this free Substack post I share several models that deliver better returns with much lower drawdown compared to Buy-and-Hold approach.

My attempt with Kling 2.1 Master. Plus audio with MMAudio for added effect.

Heather Cooper1 year ago

Great result and audio is on point

Kling 2.1 nailed it 🔥

Heather Cooper1 year ago

Yeah, it looks really good

@Alin_Reaper05 Incredibly helpful side-by-side, Heather — thank you for putting in the time to test across so many models with consistency. Seeing prompt execution and motion fidelity at a glance like this is a huge gift to the community. 🙌 Excited to dive deeper!

@Alin_Reaper05 That means a lot to me! It is time-consuming and tricky to put these together, but it really helps me to see the results and types of output from each model, too.

🎬 Video Model Comparison: Text to video • Google Veo 2 • OpenAI Sora • Hunyuan Video • Pika 2.1 • Alibaba Wanx 2.1 • Runway Gen-3 • Kling 1.6 • Luma Ray2 • Hailuo T2V-01 I used the same prompt on each model for 2 generations and chose the best results below. Prompt: A majestic white tiger prowling silently through a dense jungle, sunlight piercing through the foliage to illuminate its fur; shot with a telephoto lens for depth, using soft natural lighting and creating a mysterious yet tranquil atmosphere. Prompt credit: LudovicCreator Overall, the results are impressive for each one. We have many choices for AI video! I could have tested more models, but this visual is crowded enough.

🔸Video Model Comparison: Image to video 6 Models included: • Pika 2.1 • Adobe Firefly • Runway Gen-3 • Kling 1.6 • Luma Ray2 • Hailuo T2V-01 This time I used an image generated with Magnific's new Fluid model ( Google DeepMind's Imagen + Mystic 2.5 ), and the same prompt in each model x 2 generations and chose my favorites below: "Low-angle dolly shot along the temple's edge, capturing the contrast between classical architecture and wild nature. Orange-tinted waves crash against rocks below as crimson clouds streak across the sky. Shot on anamorphic lenses, ultra-detailed textures, dramatic atmospheric lighting." I could have tested more models, but I didn't due to time constraints. Please feel free to reply with your own results!

Check out our latest AI video comparison! This time we're putting Kling 1.6 head-to-head with Luma's new Ray2 image-to-video feature. We used the same image and the same prompt for both ("subtle camera movement, natural motion"), just like in our recent Pika 2.1 test. The results? Super interesting! Ray2 brings more dynamic motion and cinematic colors to the table, though with some distortion, while Kling keeps its reputation for solid quality and stability. Love seeing these different approaches to the same challenge. Which one do you like better?

⚔️Video Model Comparison: Img2Vid I tested the same prompt on several models, but I was only able to get decent results from these: • Veo 2 • Ray2 • Kling 1.6 • Hailuo 01-Live Prompt: As the fierce warrior turns to rally his troops, sunlight gleams off his chiseled arms. In the foreground, he stands resolute, a harbinger of strength, while a dolly zoom reveals his warriors behind, poised with spears. Dust swirls around them under a vivid blue sky, capturing the impending surge of battle. Of course, I would tweak the prompt several times to get the motion I need, but I like to test multiple models to understand how they interpret prompts and images and the quality of the results.

💄AI Video Model Comparison: Text to Video 10 Models included: • Google Veo2 • Adobe Firefly Video • Hunyuan Video • Pika 2.1 • Wan-2.1 • Runway Gen-3 • Kling AI 1.6 • Luma Ray2 • Hailuo MiniMax • Sora (not on grid, but in the full video) I used the same prompt on each model x 4 generations and chose my favorite results below. ⭕ Prompt: A person stands in a bright, airy room, bathed in soft natural light streaming through a large window adorned with sheer white curtains. As they gaze into a shimmering mirror, their hand, elegantly manicured with a deep crimson polish, lifts a glossy lip applicator towards their lips. Their outfit, a flowing pastel blouse paired with chic high-waisted trousers, exudes effortless style, complemented by delicate gold jewelry that sparkles subtly in the light. Applying lipstick, lip gloss, or any makeup seems to be extremely difficult for AI video models. It was hard to get a usable result for many of these. This prompt was generated on Nim with the Video Describe feature, and it worked better than my original prompt. Let me know what you think of the results!

Now that we can upload our own images to VEO 3, here's a comparison with Gen4, Kling, Ray2, Pixverse, Hailuo, and Pika 2.2 I did upscale them in Topaz I wanted to try a basic, simple prompt: The woman is inspecting something interesting she found while digging in an archaeology site I can't wait to hear what you think.

"This is how GPT-4 sees and hears itself" I used GPT-4 to describe itself. Then I used its description to generate an image, a video based on this image and a soundtrack. Tools I used: GPT-4, Midjourney, Kainber AI, Mubert, RunwayML This is the description I used that GPT-4 had of itself as a prompt to text-to-image, image-to-video, and text-to-music. I put the video and sound together in RunwayML.

Testing four AI video models from the same input image and prompt. The scene: two cybernetic soldiers dueling with energy swords in a rainy neon cyberpunk city. This thread breaks down scene richness, physics, and camera motion for each model. First, a side-by-side comparison video of PixVerse V6 and Seedance 2.0.

Video Model Comparison: Text to Video → Veo 3.1 → Sora 2 Pro → Kling 2.6 → Luma Ray3 → Wan 2.5 → Hailuo 2.3 → LTX-2 Pro → Seedance Pro Many of the new models automatically generate sound with video results including Veo 3.1, Sora 2 Pro, Kling 2.6, Wan 2.5, and LTX-2 Pro. I used Mirelo AI SFX and ElevenLabs to add sound to the others. I used the same prompt on each model 4x and chose the best result: Meteor Shower Panic Subject: [Father holding daughter's hand, looking up] Action: [Running through a suburban street, looking up as meteors streak across the sky, a small impact occurs nearby blowing wind and dust at them] Scene: [Suburban street, night, streetlights, burning trails in sky] Style: [Cinematic disaster, low angle tracking shot, high contrast, lens flares from meteors] Audio: Audio: sonic booms, wind rushing, car alarms triggered, shouting. Technical: [daytime, calm, sunny, happy] Which one is your favorite?
