🎬 Video & Animation Freemium

Veo 3.1

Google's advanced text-to-video model that creates 4-8 second 720p/1080p clips at 24 fps, with modes for faster generation or higher coherence.

Best for: Creating high-quality short video clips from text prompts or reference images, especially for animating AI-generated images

Fabian's take — "It's just incredible what this video generator can do just from text prompts or one or a few reference images. To get to a proper video with consistent aesthetics, you still require an orchestrating tool like Google's Flow, though. I love it to animate images I've generated or to visualize something in an entertaining or humorous way."

Included with Google AI Premium ($20/month) / API pricing for developers Read review

🎬 Video & Animation Paid

Sora (Video)

OpenAI's flagship video model — turns text, images, or video into high-fidelity, physically coherent clips with synchronized dialog and sound.

Best for: Creative video experimentation and multi-scene storytelling, especially when paired with a proper video creation tool

Fabian's take — "I've had a lot of fun with this creatively, but now it already feels a bit outdated. It's much better when used in a proper video creation tool."

Included with ChatGPT Plus ($20/month) / Pro ($200/month) for higher limits Read review
