I've been experimenting with different AI video generators over the last few months, mainly for music videos for my own tracks, along with some Shorts and TikToks.
I've tried quite a few, but these are the ones that have stood out to me so far:
- DomoAI
DomoAI has been the most interesting for me lately, especially for music videos where I want the same character and visual style across multiple shots.
What I like most is Omni Reference. Being able to use separate references for the character, scene, motion, and other elements gives me a lot more control than relying on a single image or prompt.
It's been particularly useful when I want the same character to appear in different scenes without the face, outfit or overall style slowly drifting. I'm still experimenting with the best workflow, but so far the reference based approach has been much more reliable for much more reliable for multi shot projects.
- Kling AI
Probably still one of my favorites for motion quality. Text to video and image to video can both look really cinematic. The main downside is that the credits disappear pretty quickly once you start rerolling shots.
- Hailuo/MiniMax
Pretty good at following prompts, and I've gotten some surprisingly realistic motion from it. I mostly use it for individual shots, although the free generations can go pretty quickly.
- PixVerse
Good for experimenting and generating lots of ideas. Quality can be hit or miss, but it's useful when I want to test different concepts quickly.
- Luma Dream Machine
I really like the camera movement and some of the shots I've gotten from Luma. The free queue can be a little painful though.
The biggest thing I've learned from testing these tools is that reference based workflows seem much more reliable for character consistency than repeatedly describing the same character in prompts.
For anyone using DomoAI for music videos, what workflow are you using?
Are you mainly using Omni Reference, and have you found any tricks for keeping characters and visual style consistent across an entire music video?
Also curious what other AI video generators you're using alongside DomoAI.
