My Hands-On Testing Notes
I tested a 'professional basketball player doing a 360 slam dunk in slow motion' prompt. The body mechanics were the most realistic I've seen from any AI tool โ arms extended correctly, the ball rotation was physically plausible, the facial expression matched the effort. Background crowd flickered slightly but the subject was pristine.

- Hyper-realistic skin texture and micro-expressions
- No watermark on free tier
- Fast generation (~90 seconds per clip)
- 6-second clip limit (shortest in comparison)
