What AI Video Generator is the Best?

The announcement that Robert Downey Jr. is set to portray Dr. Doom in the Marvel Cinematic Universe got me incredibly excited. Inspired by this news, I decided to experiment with animating this character using various AI art and image-to-video generators. In this article, I'll guide you through the process and share which of these tools delivered the best outputs.

Step 1: Generating Images

Prompts Used

• Tony Stark as Dr. Doom
• Iron Man holding Dr. Doom mask

Round 1: Initial Outputs

1. CG Dream

   • First outputs were impressive, particularly in the context of Tony Stark being Dr. Doom.
   • Didn't use this generator initially but the results were commendable.

2. Artlow

   • Outputs when generating Iron Man holding a Doom mask were less satisfactory.

3. Tony Stark as Dr. Doom

   • Generated some promising results.
   • Upper left and upper right images stood out; eventually chose the upper right image for animation.

Step 2: Animation Process

1. Kling

   • Output was generally good, with consistent character features. The shading and non-morphing aspects were appealing.

2. Maze

   • Produced interesting outputs. Extracted the fire and smoke image for animation.
   • Result was fairly realistic with a consistent character despite minor facial deformation.

3. Imagin

   • Provided two usable outputs, one with glasses and a cloak.
   • This image was animated to yield satisfactory results with minor warping in the eyes.

4. Hyper

   • Delivered a visually impressive cinematic look suitable for storytelling.

Step 3: Competitive Challenge

For further evaluation, I ran the same image through multiple video generators using the prompt: "man walking around the room".

1. Hyper

   • Visuals were good but not extraordinary.

2. Pix

   • Output was standard without much motion or detail.

3. Verse

   • Similar to Pix, average output with minimal motion.

4. Viva

   • Decent results though lacking fluid motion.

5. Luma

   • Exceptionally smooth animations.

6. Cling

   • Provided the most motion, though with a somewhat zombie-like effect. Nonetheless, the quality was high and I was pleased with the result.

Conclusion

Running similar prompts on the fly through:

1. Pixverse

   • Output of Iron Man holding Doom mask wasn't what I desired but useful for future projects.

2. Viva

   • Generated interesting images though they vaguely resembled Dr. Doom.
   • Included an unintentional but amusing image of Darth Vader holding a Doom mask.
