PixVerse released V3 of their AI video generation model, and I spent some time testing it out. Here’s what you need to know. The base video generation in V3 matches Runway Gen 3 quality, but adds useful extra features. Most importantly, it nails the basics – good motion, decent frame consistency, and no major artifacts. The outputs look AI-generated but usable. They added ‘Pikaffects’-style video effects, which could be dismissed as gimmicky, but the implementation is solid. Unlike Pika’s base generations which often disappoint, PixVerse V3 delivers quality results even without effects. In my testing, the outputs had that slightly over-processed AI look common to most video models. The Will Smith spaghetti test showed some noodle morphing, but importantly captured natural eating motion rather than just moving food to mouth. Character reference needs work – my test using a medieval knight prompt produced low-action animation with significant morphing rather than matching my reference image. This could improve with simpler prompts. The standout features are: – Enhanced prompt understanding – Support for multiple aspect ratios (16:9, 9:16, etc.) – Four visual styles: Anime, 3D, Clay, and Realistic – Lipsync capabilities – Eight creative effects like Zombie Mode and Alive Art – Video extension options While not revolutionary compared to models like Minimax, PixVerse V3 hits a sweet spot of good base quality plus useful creative features. For anyone doing AI video work, it’s worth adding to your toolkit. I’ll keep testing and update as I discover more. Feel free to share your experiences with V3 in the comments.
