Can a 24GB VRAM laptop handle AI video generation and motion capture?

A Reddit user asks if a laptop with 24GB VRAM (e.g., ROG Strix Scar, Lenovo Legion) is sufficient for local AI workloads like video generation (Wan2.2 Animate) and motion capture, comparing it to their current M1 Pro/M4 Air setup. The discussion covers cloud alternatives, the superiority of desktop RTX 6000 Ada for heavy tasks, and potential workarounds for Mac Pro users (cloud services, Draw Things). Consensus suggests laptops can run these tasks but slowly, with heavy workloads requiring more power.
