Key Points

The post discusses experimenting with AI video tools for pre-visualization (pre-vis) and short-form social scenes, but expresses uncertainty about how reliable they are for production-like results.
While the tools can quickly generate short ideas, the user finds it harder to achieve intentional outcomes such as consistent camera motion, pacing, and overall direction.
The author reports specific struggles with maintaining consistent motion within a shot and with making outputs feel “directed” rather than purely randomly generated.
They also note difficulty when the scene involves dialogue or talking shots, and they’re seeking workflows that feel more controllable for filmmaking ideation.
The user clarifies they do not aim to replace real production, but want ways to speed up ideation and create rough sequences without doing a full shoot.

Been experimenting a bit with ai video tool recently, mostly fro pre-vis and quick social content, and I'm kinda on the fence about how they actually are.

like they're great for generating quick shorts or ideas, but once you try to get something that feels intentional (camera movement, pacing, performance etc), it starts to fall apart or feel really random

especially struggling with:

getting consistent motion across a shot

making things feel directed vs just generated

anything involving dialogue or talking shots

not trying to replace actual production obviously, more just looking for ways to speed up ideation or create rough sequences without spinning up a full shoot.

curious if anyone here has found tools or workflows that actually feel somewhat controllable / usable in a filmmaking context
