PixVerse V4: Audio Features Shine Despite Minor Model Improvements

After testing PixVerse V4, I can say the core video generation model isn’t dramatically better than 3.5. However, the new audio capabilities make this release worth checking out.

The standout addition is integrated audio generation. You can now create synchronized sound effects and speech directly alongside your videos without jumping between different tools. I find this especially useful for quick social media content where separate audio editing would be overkill.

The new Restyle feature lets you transform video styles instantly. While not groundbreaking, it’s a convenient way to experiment with different looks without regenerating the entire video. The improved realism and movement quality are subtle upgrades – you might notice slightly more natural motion, but don’t expect a revolutionary leap forward.

Speed improvements are notable though. Videos can be 5 or 8 seconds long, and the speed is crazy! Sub 10 second generation times.

The bottom line: While PixVerse V4’s core video capabilities are only incrementally better, the new audio features and faster generation times make it a solid update for content creators who value efficiency and all-in-one solutions.
