2026 AI 生影片工具怎麼選？Runway、Veo、Sora、Pika 比較

Understand the Purpose First

AI video tools can be broadly categorized into two types: generating entirely new footage (from text/images to video) and virtual host dubbing. This article will discuss the former, while the latter can be found in How to Create AI Virtual Hosts. For an overview of the current situation, see AI-Generated Images and Videos 2026.

Generating Cinematic Footage

• Runway: The most comprehensive creative platform, offering generation and editing capabilities in one stop, making it the top choice for creators.
• Google Veo: Tops in video quality and physical consistency, and can also generate synchronized sound effects.
• Sora: OpenAI's video generation model, notable for its narrative and scene presentation.
• Pika and PixVerse: Easy to use, with many special effects, making them suitable for creating social media short videos.

How to Choose

1. Pursuing high video quality and cinematic feel → Veo, Sora, Runway.
2. Need comprehensive editing and workflow → Runway.
3. Quickly creating social media short videos → Pika, PixVerse.
4. Content needs to be exported, requiring multi-language dubbing → Pair with Rask AI.

Reminder for Taiwanese Creators

Generated videos still have usage limits and costs, so it's recommended to first use the free trial to test the style; before commercial use, be sure to confirm the licensing. Chinese subtitles and dubbing can be added using other tools.

Conclusion

There is no one-size-fits-all tool — for video quality, look to Veo/Sora; for workflow, look to Runway; for social media, look to Pika. Clearly define the purpose of the final product before choosing, which will save a lot of trial and error costs. For further reading, see Using AI-Generated Videos for Marketing.
