Pika
Pika is an AI video‑generation platform by Pika Labs that lets users go from idea to short, cinematic video content through minimal input, text prompts, images or existing video. It is built to be intuitive, letting creators leverage features like “Pikaffects” (stylized effects), “Pikaframes” (start‑end image‑based animations), and subject/object swaps or additions to craft dynamic visuals even without advanced editing skills.
The model supports short clip generation (up to about 10 seconds), with varying fidelity depending on plan. There’s a free tier with limits and watermarking, and paid tiers that unlock commercial usage, higher video resolution, and more credits. It’s especially well‑suited for social media content, trend‑driven visuals, or quick video experiments.
