- Beginners who find writing long video prompts intimidating. You can start simply by choosing from a list of preset effects.

Drawbacks
- Free credits are limited, and outputs include a watermark. You'll run out quickly and have to wait until the next month.
- Not suitable for long videos or continuous storytelling. It focuses mainly on multi-second clips.
- The interface is in English, so you need to click through the effect names to learn what each one does.
Getting started
