AI Video Tools Review: Runway leads realism, Luma excels in motion

The author reviewed several AI video tools, summarizing their strengths and use cases:
- Runway: Still strong for realistic video generation; requires detailed prompts to avoid drift.
- Pika: Good for quick clips and brainstorming; more stable but better for speed than polished production.
- Luma Dream Machine: Excels at natural motion and environmental shots; high polish when it works, but prompt-dependent.
- DomoAI: Focuses on stylized/creative output, especially image-to-video for anime-style illustrations.
- HeyGen: Refined for talking avatars and explainer videos; fits simple business content well.
- InVideo AI: Heavily template-driven; good for speed, bad for creative control.
Takeaway: No single tool does it all. Each focuses on a specific niche, whether realism, style, or speed.
