Pika

#45

Runway's cousin. Another round, another text-to-video generator. Good at transforming existing videos into different styles. The battle of AI directors has just begun.

Is it easy to use?

Web interface very clean and modern. Easier than Runway for beginners. An 8.5 out of 10.

How long to learn?

Few minutes for first video. Interface is clean. Mastering styles and camera movements takes a few hours.

How efficient is it?

Very efficient at creating short effect clips. Generation times are good. An 8.0 out of 10.

Is it worth it?

The ‘Yes (Limited)’ plan is decent. Paid plans (from $8/mo) are cheap. Great for beginners. (Value: 8.5/10).

Can I use it Commercially?

Yes, but only if you open your wallet. With the free plan you do little to nothing. If you want rights, you gotta pay. (Check ToS).

In a Nutshell (Verdict)

The alternative to Runway, maybe faster and easier, but (for now) less ‘cinematic’. Score: 8.0/10.

Who is it for?

Runway’s cousin. Another round, another text-to-video generator. Good at transforming existing videos into different styles. The battle of AI directors has just begun.

Your videos flat? Go turn them into a psychedelic animation, social artist.
