Updated 2026-09-29 · All comparisons
Your song. Your face. Your creative control.
Your photo. A recognisable lead.
Professional accepts images checked for the absence of realistic human faces. Use Standard for portraits of anyone, including selfies, or images we cannot verify.
A starting style. Endless directions.
Start with cinematic, anime, K-pop, retro or another look, then direct the story, setting and individual shots in your own words. Bring your own song, photos and visual reference, or start with a sample song. Scenes are generated for your project, not selected from a stock-video library.
One click. Your music video.
Let AI plan the shots, generate the visuals and cut to your beat. No filming or manual editing. Timing varies with length, quality and demand; we email you when it is ready.
Change one shot. Keep the rest.
Edit a scene’s prompt and camera move, then regenerate just that shot. Keep the scenes you love and pay only for the new generation. Failed generations return their credits automatically.
