✓ ProsMotion Brush gives precise control over which elements animate — no other AI video tool has this. Camera Controls (dolly, arc, crane) make AI footage feel directed. Image-to-video is excellent for product and concept art. Act-One facial capture is impressive for character animation. Clean, intuitive UI — easy to learn in under an hour.
✗ Cons10-second clip limit means longer scenes need manual stitching in a traditional editor. Close-up human faces still show AI artifacts — avoid face-heavy hero shots. Free tier is 125 one-time credits only, not recurring — burns through fast. No native audio generation — requires a separate audio step unlike Google Veo 3.1. Photorealism now trails Veo 3.1 for naturalistic footage.
