Hello Reader,

A revolution is taking place in video creation, spearheaded by cutting-edge AI tools, and we’ve seen a huge improvement in the capability of GenmoAI, RunwayML’s Gen-2, and Pika’s animation features.

I’m excited about the improving text-to-video and image-to-video technology. I never thought I would make video content, but I am learning how to generate many different types of animation for multiple platforms.

Now, you can do it too.

🏁 Comparing Runway Gen-2, Pika, and Genmo

Which video tool works best?

It depends on what you are trying to create and your preferences.

Each one allows you to upload a starting image to animate, generate a new image, or a combination of an uploaded image plus a text prompt.

Other features to consider when comparing these tools:

Camera/motion controls:

Pika, Genmo, and Runway’s Gen-2 have the ability to control angles, speed, and rotation.

Video length:

• Pika - 3 seconds
• Genmo - 6 seconds
• Runway - 18 seconds (each video is 4 seconds and can be extended 4 times, but quality and composition are difficult to maintain after the first extension.

User interface/app:

• Pika is only available in Discord.
• Gen-2 and Genmo exist on their individual brand platforms.

Price:

• Pika is free for everyone.
• Genmo’s free plan includes unlimited video generation and a paid option for unlimited fast generation.

🎨 Midjourney's Web App

Midjourney rolled out the first phase of the new website - different than the current Midjourney webpage we’ve grown used to until now.

Features include:
