the video generators are becoming much more powerful, only unemployed people can track the changes ( like me)..

Here are the current observations, and add anything in the comments if you feel I missed something.

Cinematic Videos

1. Seedance 2.0: This Chinese model is fantastic in real visuals and advanced visuals, almost like real shots. I guess this will become the future.
2. Kling 3.0 and kling motion transfer: Motion transfer is amazing, you shot a vidoe yourself and can trasfer the movement any avatar. Kling is the king in that aspect. With Kling’s motion transfer, . There is no other technology that can do this this well and look super fantastic.
3. Veo3 : Recent releases of Veo 3.1 are still some of the best videos. Sora has shoted down by openai, and recent Google model, -
4. GeminiOmni, is the best in video editing. It is like Nano Banana for videos. It is absolutely fantastic. Don’t compare this with Seedance because the purpose is completely different. If you try it on your own video and ask it to add something, it gives a super realistic output.

Explainer Videos

These are not cinematic, but mostly for concept explanations and long videos. These tools are great fit:

1. Distilbook: This one is very good at creating visual explanations with whiteboards and animations based on your content, PDFs, and all. If you want long videos, like 3-minute or 5-minute training videos,academic this is purpose-fit.
2. NotebookLM Video overview : This tool has the video overview option, which makes things much easier for you. It is mostly for slide-type videos, but it still gets your work done because most of the time you may not need animated videos.
3. MathGPT: Here it is mostly for math educational video explanations using some animations. These are not very advanced, but still, if you want cheap educational videos, maybe it can do the job.

Images

In my personal opinion,

- The recent GPT image model is fantastic. Second, the Google model Gemini Nano Banana Pro and Nano Banana Flash 2 are both amazing,
but still, most of the time I go for GPT because it is very accurate in terms of visual output and consistency.
