That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 163 of the 168 other AI image and video generators grade higher. It costs $600 a year. - You could not: A video model, which you can rent by the second but not make. - You could not: An image model, which you can rent by the picture but not make. - You could not: An AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it. - You could not: A video editor.
