亞洲 AI 影片生成大戰：可靈、即夢、海螺，跟 Sora、Veo 比起來如何？

When it comes to AI-generated videos, international discussions often revolve around OpenAI's Sora and Google's Veo. However, if you've actually tried them out, you'll find that several Chinese tools are already ahead of the game in terms of being "easy to use, functional, and having a high output." Today, we'll take a closer look at the top three AI video tools in Asia.

Kling: The most talked-about tool currently

Kling is developed by Kuaishou and is the most popular AI video tool in Asia right now. It boasts mature motion continuity and physical representation, supporting both text-to-video and image-to-video generation. Many impressive works in the creator community are made using Kling. For those who want to seriously create AI videos, Kling is almost a must-try.

Jimeng: ByteDance's all-around player

Jimeng comes from ByteDance and leverages the creative ecosystem of Jianying and Douyin, integrating "image generation - video generation - editing" into one seamless workflow. Its advantage lies in its tight integration with short video workflows, making it particularly suitable for social media creators who need to produce a large number of short videos.

Hailuo: MiniMax's video powerhouse

Hailuo is a video generation tool under MiniMax, praised for its image quality and camera movement. It's often compared to Kling, but the actual differences depend on the type of content you're creating. Each of the three tools has its own loyal followers.

How do they compare to Sora and Veo?

To be honest, Sora and Veo still excel in "understanding complex instructions and generating long, consistent shots." However, their accessibility, pricing, and generation limits are not friendly to most Asian creators. The advantages of these Chinese tools lie in: easy access, fast generation, high output, and relatively affordable prices. For content creators who need to "produce a large quantity of content quickly and try out different ideas," Asian tools often win in terms of practicality.

How should Taiwanese creators choose?

Here's a practical decision-making process for you:

First, think clearly about what type of content you want to create — if it involves a lot of character actions and continuous storytelling, Kling is a stable choice; if you're already using Jianying for short videos, Jimeng's workflow will be the most convenient; if you want to compare image quality, Hailuo is worth trying out.

Next, pay attention to two things. First is copyright and commercial use: when using AI-generated materials for commercial purposes, be sure to check the licensing terms of each platform, as they can differ significantly. Second is account and access: some services have registration barriers for overseas users, and uploaded materials will be stored in their cloud, so be cautious with sensitive or third-party portrait materials.

The AI video landscape is changing rapidly, and instead of getting bogged down in who's the strongest, it's better to pick a tool and start creating a video.
