Create AI videos from text (prompts)!
For me, it is really quite impressive how high-quality various tools can now produce videos (a few seconds) by simply entering text. We are not yet at "Hollywood level", but if the tools continue to develop as much as Midjourney, for example, it might not be too long before we reach this point.
To give you an initial overview of the different tools, I tested netherlands number dataset and compared 6 of the most popular tools. You can view and compare the results from the prompt "close up on a lizard on a rock, cinema scene, national geographic" here.
Runway Gen-2
Runway has really brought about a lot of change and innovation in the field of AI videos in the last few months. Starting with Gen-1 (changing the style of videos) to Gen-2 (text to video). With various settings and additional AI tools, Runway is a really comprehensive platform for AI videos and works completely on the web. However, you are very limited here in terms of the amount of free videos.

LensGo.AI
The relatively new provider LensGo also works completely on the web and has (currently) no limits on the amount of free videos. So you can simply create any videos you want in different formats, styles and directions of movement. In my opinion, the quality is already very good.

Pika Labs
Pika Labs has been around for a while and has managed to build a large fan base. After switching from Discord to the web interface (Pika Labs 1.0), AI videos can be created and edited very quickly. In addition to creating videos, you can also animate images and place text videos. There are currently no limits.
