Prompt: “A product video, quick fast-moving shot of an avocado armchair, studio lighting, cuts”
1. Kling 1.0:
Cost: FREE!!!
Quality: 9/10 – Very Coherent. No complaints really.
Prompt Adherence: 8/10 – Good, though I specifically asked for cuts and fast motion, so could be better.
Notes: I only have this above Sora because it’s free and that Kling did better than usual here, and Sora slightly underperformed. On average I think Sora would win.
2. Sora:
Cost: Came with my ChatGPT Plus Subscription
Quality: 8.8/10 – Top of the line today, but weird rotation and room for improvement. Physics need work.
Prompt Adherence: 8.2/10 – Good, though I specifically asked for cuts and angles, so could be better.
3. Minimax:
Cost: FREE!!!
Quality: 8/10 – Consistent, but two chairs, and not high motion. Not an exciting shot.
Prompt Adherence: 6.5/10 – Studio, but not dynamic enough.
4. Vidu 1.0:
Cost: FREE!!!
Quality: 8.8/10 – Despite the noticeable artifacting, this video is extremely dynamic, and looks the most like it was taken by a real person. This does lose some points in the prompt adherence section though, because I did ask for a studio product shot. The double chairs is a problem too, but I love the vibes here!
Prompt Adherence: 7.2/10 – More human than studio-type shot, and the chairs could look more avocado-y.
Notes: I ran this test on Vidu 1.5 but it did worse so I didn’t include it in this top ten. It did beat Pika and Hunyuan though of course.
5. Runway Gen-3:
Cost: 25 Cents
Quality: 5/10 – Ok. Weird motion reversal. It’s a bit cartoony, but I had to use a Flux starting image, so not entirely Runway’s fault.
Prompt Adherence: 6.5/10 – It’s fine. Weird motion and no cut angles though.
6. Kling 1.5:
Cost: FREE!!!
Quality: 5.5/10 – It did worse than Kling 1.0 somehow. Very similar to Haiper actually.
Prompt Adherence: 5.5/10 – A little better than Haiper, but still not the kind of shot I was going for.
7. Haiper 2.0:
Cost: 16 Cents
Quality: 5/10 – Ok but nowhere near top competitors.
Prompt Adherence: 5/10 – Meh. Not avocado-shaped, but colored correctly. Not the kind of shot I was going for.
8. Mochi 1:
Cost: FREE!
Quality: 4.5/10 – VERY Morphy
Prompt Adherence: 5/10 – Meh. Not avocado-shaped, but fastest which is nice.
9. Hunyuan:
Cost: 40 Cents
Quality: 7/10 – Morphing, and clearly not what I was looking for but the quality itself was way better than Pika.
Prompt Adherence: 2/10 – It barely included avocados, but the cuts and how dynamic the shot was were ok.
10. Pika 1.5:
Cost: Part of an $8 a month subscription
Quality: 3/10 – Almost motionless
Prompt Adherence: 4/10 – None of the motion I asked for was there. Neatly static. The chair is ok though.
