OpenAI’s Sora is a highly advanced AI tool that has impressed many professional creatives, but access to it is limited. While waiting for access to Sora, there are several alternative AI video tools available, including Pika Labs, Runway, Stable Video, Leonardo, Night Cafe, FinalFrame, Haiper, and LTX Studio. These tools offer various features like generating videos from images, text, or other videos, as well as adding sound effects, voice-overs, and lip syncing.
Runway, one of the major players in the AI video space, offers features like accurate lip syncing, animating head and eye movements, and the ability to select specific regions of a video to animate. Pika Labs, another significant player, provides control over motion in videos, sound effects, and the ability to add lip syncing to video content.
Stable Video, created by StabilityAI, offers fine control over motion in videos and the ability to generate videos from images or text. Leonardo and Night Cafe are AI image platforms that offer motion features to make images move. FinalFrame and Haiper are newer AI video tools with unique features like generating videos based on the final frame of a previous video and following prompts accurately for motion control.
LTX Studio is a full generative content platform that can create multishot, multiscene videos from a text prompt. Although it may not handle motion as well as some other tools, it offers a range of features like voice-overs, music, and sound effects. Access to LTX Studio is currently in beta with a waiting list.
