OpenAI's text-to-video and image-to-video model, strong at longer shots and consistency

  • Longer, coherent video clips

  • Fast output for marketing and concept videos

Not for

  • Precise control of specific objects and text
  • High reproducibility requirements
  • Budget-constrained bulk production

We deliberately put “not for” on the same screen — a review that only lists strengths carries no information.
