Who will be the best domestic to use in 2025AI Video Tools?
Today, we're going to go the whole hog and make a hardcore comparison of the four favorites:Keling,Dream,whelks,Vidu.. The review will be divided into two parts, the first and the second. In this installment, we will be doing four rounds of "Vincent Video"An extreme challenge that comprehensively assesses their creative prowess from imagination, physical simulation, causal logic to artistic style!
Before we begin, it's important to explain the core premise of this review. We are mainly focusing on the "cost-effectiveness" and the daily usability for the general public, therefore, instead of choosing the newest and top models (such as Kerin's 2.1 Master, Dream's 3.0 Pro, Conch's hailuo-02, Vidu's Q1, etc.), we have chosen their stable, popular and more cost-effective main versions. more cost-effective master versions. This better reflects the real experience of most common users.
A brief description of each tool in this test is below:
- The Korin 1.6 model generates a 5-second video, and non-members have longer queues at peak times during the day, sometimes waiting up to an hour.
- The Dream 3.0 model, which also generates a 5-second video, has recently seen queues become longer during the evening rush hour, sometimes exceeding 30 minutes.
- Conch AI, on the other hand, used the hailuo-01-director model to generate longer 6-second videos.
- The Vidu 1.5 model generated videos of 4 to 5 seconds in length.
With the above background in mind, let's get straight to the dry run and the challenge begins! 👇
Vincent Video Four Extreme Challenges
Challenge 1: Cosmic Brain Comprehension Test (Cyberpunk Panda)
Cue word: a panda in dragon robes and sunglasses, working on a laptop on the roof of the Forbidden City's Hall of Supreme Harmony, with bustling tourists below, dusk, movie-quality light and cyberpunk style.
What to look for in a review: precise understanding of complex, multi-element commands and the ability to build a picture.
Can be spiritual:
Pros: Precisely captures the core "cyberpunk" style, with rich and stable dynamics.
Weaknesses: For the sake of stylistic unity, the elements of "Dragon's Robe" and "Forbidden City" have been drastically modified.
That is, the dream:
Pros: Perfectly reproduces the "Forbidden City" and "dragon robe" and other realistic elements, realistic model.
Weaknesses: Completely ignores the "cyberpunk" style directive, weak dynamics.
Conch:
Pros: Successfully creates a cinematic light and atmosphere at "dusk" with natural dynamics.
Weaknesses: Core commands such as cyberpunk and dragon robes have been abandoned, prioritizing graphic harmony and aesthetics.
Vidu.
Pros: There is a certain amount of creativity, as the panda actually levitates and moves through the sky, generating unexpected action scenes.
Weaknesses: Ignores the "cyberpunk" style requirement and is not common sense.
Challenge 2: Real World Physics Simulation (Golden Retriever)
Cue word: dynamic detail of a golden retriever, running excitedly chasing a small red ball in a clear stream with splashing water and sun-drenched fur.
What to look for in a review: the ability to simulate the real physical world of fluids, hair, light and shadow.
It can be :
Pros: Good physical simulation, extremely realistic and complex splash patterns.
Weaknesses: The picture is slowed down and there is a slight form jittering of the canine's face at high speeds.
That is, the dream:
Pros: Stable, beautifully composed images, like high-definition photographic material.
Weaknesses: Completely misses out on the core dynamic command of "run with excitement" and produces too calm a picture.
Conch :
Pros: Slow motion and beautiful lighting to create a strong sense of cinema and artistic beauty.
Weaknesses: Focuses more on artistic treatment than pure physical reproduction compared to Korin.
Vidu.
Pros: The closest thing to real physics, the puppy moves just like in the real world.
Weaknesses: The overall picture is relatively rough and needs to be enhanced aesthetically ("egg on your face").
Challenge 3: Microphysics and Causal Chain Test (Orange Cat Pushes Mug)
Cue word: An orange cat tries to push a glass of water off the edge of a table, which wobbles and eventually falls, spilling water all over the floor.
What to look for in a review: an accurate rendering of microscopic, continuous physical interactions and causal logic chains.
It can be :
Pros: The cat's movements are very realistic and the physical interaction with the cup is accurate.
Weaknesses: The cup is not placed on the edge of the table, and the cat only performs the action of "trying to push" and fails to complete the subsequent result of the fall, so the narrative chain is incomplete.
I.e., dreams:
Pros: The cat is modeled realistically and the graphics are clean.
Weaknesses: The cup appears to move by itself in a weird way, the cat's movements are rather dull and unnatural, the cup falls by itself, which is basically a failure.
Conch.
Pros: The only model that fully realizes the whole process of "Push-Drop-Spill", with a very high narrative IQ and a vivid "character" of the cat.
Weaknesses: Performance in this case was near perfect.
Vidu.
Pros: Simulates a real cat playing with a cup for a more dynamic feel.
Negatives: Camera capture is not very precise, invalid shot under the table in the center.
Challenge 4: Artistic Style and Conceptual Integration (Crystal Robotics)
Cue word: A robot made of crystals plays an ancient piano in a glowing forest, with dots of light in the shape of notes floating in the air around it, Hayao Miyazaki animation style.
What to look for in a review: the degree of restoration of a particular art style, and the ability to blend multiple fantasy elements.
Can be spiritual:
Pros: Robot modeling is detailed, animation is smooth, and technical power is strong.
Weaknesses: Misinterpretation of style, substituting "mecha style" for the designated "Miyazaki style".
That is, the dream:
Pros: The only model that accurately reproduces the "Miyazaki style" and all the fantastical elements, with a top-notch artistic understanding.
Weaknesses: Performance in this case was near perfect.
Conchs :
Pros: The dynamics of piano playing are the most realistic and emotional of the four, with a strong sense of context.
Weaknesses: Completely ignores the specified art style and sticks to its own "cinematic" aesthetic.
Vidu.
Benefits: Creates a unique neon light style with a strong visual impact.
Negatives: The robot doesn't quite look like it's playing the piano, and also fails to follow style commands with a slight flickering of the screen.
Summary of this article
After four full rounds of "Raw Video" extreme pulling, we can see the strategic focus of each manufacturer:
1. Kling: the reliable "hexagonal warrior"
- Core Strengths: The most balanced overall ability, solid technical force, able to cope with a variety of scenarios, no fatal shortcomings.
- Distinguishing feature: "good" at everything, but "not the best" at anything. Physical realism, artistic aesthetics and stylistic precision are not quite as good as other "partial" competitors.
- Bottom line: An all-rounder who can generalize, but doesn't strive for the ultimate in a single category.
2. Dreamina: paranoid "art stylist"
- Core Strengths: Understanding and reproducing specific art styles (e.g. Hayao Miyazaki) is top-notch, making him a "style reproduction machine".
- Notable Characteristics: Extremely "biased". Perfectly executes directional art commands, but is very conservative and even error-prone when dealing with generalized dynamics and physical interactions.
- In a nutshell: "specialists" in targeted creation, not "generalists" in generic scenarios.
3. Conch: the sensual "movie narrator"
- Core Strengths: Highest "Narrative IQ", best at creating cinematic atmosphere and expressing delicate emotions.
- Characteristics: Strong "artistic personality", sometimes ignoring or modifying some of the literal instructions in order to achieve the best mood and storytelling. Animation dynamics are best expressed in terms of "humanity" and "character".
- Bottom line: The best storytellers know how to tell a story through the camera, and can inject "soul" into a video.
4. Vidu: a coarse "physical realist"
- Core Benefit: Simulation of real-world "trajectories" and "physical dynamics" with underlying logic that is closest to reality.
- Notable features: Excellent "bones" but rough "skin". Although the physics simulation has a hard core, the current version leaves a lot to be desired in terms of quality, aesthetics and modeling.
- Bottom line: An underrated "physics genius" whose value lies in the realism of the action rather than the beauty of the graphics.
Recommendations for use
If your goal is [the most realistic physical movement trajectory] (rough picture quality can be used with the picture quality enhancement function):
Reason: It has the most realistic "physical skeleton".
If your goal is to [create an emotional storytelling short] (for atmosphere, detail and artistic impact):
First choice → Halo. Reason: It is the "AI director" that knows the most about narrative and emotional expression.
If your goal is to [strictly replicate a certain specified drawing style] (e.g. commercials, IP content):
First choice → Dream. Reason: It is the king of "style reproduction" and can precisely meet your visual requirements.
If you're aiming for [a universal option for most scenarios] (need to produce videos that work well quickly and consistently):
Preferred choice → Korin. Reason: It is the most balanced and versatile "Swiss Army Knife".
The above is the content of today's sharing, is not full of dry goods? If "text to video" tests the ability of AI to create something out of nothing, then "picture to video" tests the ability of secondary creation. In the face of the same static picture, who can give it the most amazing vitality of the four artifacts? Who is the real king of details? We are looking forward to the next video to find out~!
