Pika labs free or runway free. Answer me

Nice job comparing the engines. Just a note: The big reason Gen-2 looks better in a lot of cases is the higher frame rate. 8 fps from Pika vs. 24 from Gen-2. Gen-2 resolution is also higher. If you run the Pika output into something like Topaz to upscale and interpolate you'll get much cleaner results. I'm pretty sure Pika will have upscale and interpolate options like Gen-2 has without having to use Topaz. Anyway, just wanted to mention that. Keep up the good work. I really enjoy all your videos.

Thank you! Good call on the frame rate and resolution differences. I may have to check out Topaz, that's the third time I've heard about it this week. I'm happy to wait for Pika and Fulljourney to add upscaling because when Gen-2 "improved" it took a lot of the fun out of it.

Totally agree. Someone else pointed out in the comments here, Pika now has a "-fps 24" control you can add to the end of the prompt. So much smoother! Runway's tools are great, and their non-generative AI tools (Magic Tools) are wildly underrated.

Tks.

I think the bottom line is, neither of these tools is particularly useable yet - fantastic nonetheless but not really useful. The problem is, the second these tools do give you the quality and animation and realism, all the animation software and animators will be rendered obselete...

There will be great economic problems as AI evolves and jobs are lost in al sectors. We've already seen bank tellers, Copywriters and marketing being first, graphic designers and art directors next. Filmmakers, music composers, news anchors, draftsmen, architects, fashion designers, taxi and delivery drivers, etc. As robotics and AI evolve, there will be fewer and fewer jobs that are not cheaper to do than with technology. We will lose the ability to think and create as we rely on technology more. We will have more people without occupations that still need to be fed and housed and kept busy so they don't revolt. This leads to a dystopian society of walled off communities of elites and ghettos of the masses. If society wants to survive, then there needs to be legislation to control the extent of AI. We will have media completely made up to create narratives that the ruling class figure will control the masses and keep them in their place. We are already seeing the chaos and societal breakdown occurring as media is being controlled. When it becomes manufactured, then the dystopian future we see in sci-fi movies will be reality.

Great video! My experience is that the animations in Pika can be quite amazing, but I rarely see my text prompts impacting the final results though. Maybe I am doing something wrong. RunwayML videos are often extremely cinematic and captivating, however, it certainly does not work with as many different images as Pika. I could just forget trying my own art work with RunwayML, however Pika managed to animate that as well. RunwayML works Great with photo realistic images and highly detailed high quality images. Hope Pika Labs manage to keep their unlimited generations, even on an eventual paid plan. That would make all the difference in my opinion.

Someone on the Pika Discord mentioned starting with a landscape and adding things to it via text prompt. I could mostly get that to work by telling it where to place the new thing "a tank/nomad/horse goes by in the foreground" which you can see at 05:12.

It's a weird trade off: "you don't want it to be blurry? Lower the motion so you get an almost static shot." The original Gen-2 model had a lot more motion and none of the blurriness but there were a lot of hallucinations. I think that's what all the models are over compensating for.

Thanks, I agree. Runway had an early lead but the controls and quality from Pika have surpassed them in the past few months. Hopefully the competition means higher quality video and more creative options.

No offense meant to the author of this video, of course, but I almost find this video sarcastic because from what I see in a lot of ways Runway's results look waaay worse than Pika's... I guess what I my ultimate point is - the quality of the animation doesn't only lie in the smoothness and the lack of noise...just because something is polished and its textures look smoother doesn't mean it more realistic and better overall in all aspects. Am I the only one thinking this?
