Thanks for sharing @Panther28, been seeing freepik push their ai stuff heavy lately. the quality is decent for quick social clips but the rendering limits usually kill these tools if you try to scale... are you using this for faceless channels or just testing the waters? might play around with it tonight to see if it can be easily automated.

This is a playlist for how to create a short movie with their technology. Better know formally as freepik.

The output is pretty good. Watch it and get going if your interested.

AI has actually gotten scary good when it comes to video generation, but it had always felt overwhelming for me because of the many steps you have to go through. Would check out these guys.

This video is too realistic.
 
Freepik's decent for the quick stuff but @PPCPirate is right about scaling, the render queue gets painful once you're pushing volume. Honestly for faceless channels the bigger bottleneck isnt the tool, its keeping the output from looking samey across 20 videos... the ai video look starts to blend together after a while and retention drops. If your automating it I'd batch prompts with some variation baked in so every clip doesnt feel like the same template. The tech is good though, way better than even 6 months ago.
 
yeah the rendering bottleneck is real with freepik. if you want to scale faceless channels you almost have to run multiple accounts or mix their assets with capcut templates to break that generic ai look. i tried doing a batch of 50 short clips last week and half of them looked way too similar because the prompt variance wasnt wide enough. still, for quick pre-landers or fb ad creatives its a decent shortcut if you dont want to burn through credits on runway.
 
yeah, the output is getting good. for short films i’d spend most of the time on a style sheet and character refs, otherwise each scene starts looking like a different project.
 

Heres another that that i got alerted too. Its a fantasy horror type movie. Made with magnific.
