Tried Eight Domestic AI Video Tools: First Impressions

So I took some time during work to mess around with all the domestic AI video tools I have access to—purely my own take here. Some are great for quick generation and have a friendly interface, where you can just type something and get a decent clip out of it, good enough to throw at the client.

Others have top-tier quality, but the queue times make you question your life choices, and you gotta pay up for speed boost. The biggest common issue is still stability—run the same prompt three times and you’ll get three different styles, and the camera movement just falls apart.

When picking a tool, don’t just look at how flashy a single demo is; run it multiple times to see the floor, that’s how you know if it’s actually usable day-to-day. Honestly, none of them feel like something I can fully rely on yet—we’re still in the “making do” phase.

Same experience here — the floor matters way more than the ceiling.

The queue times are such a turn-off.

Haha, this is so real.

Ran it three times and got three completely different styles lol, this is way too real.

Mark, I’ll try them one by one when I get back.
