Weaknesses	Not for full songs with vocals Shorter generation limits	Aesthetic ceiling below Midjourney + Ideogram Text rendering worse than Ideogram No fine control	Aesthetic ceiling below Midjourney Tied to Adobe subscription	Stricter content policy than competitors Hit-or-miss on complex motion Text-in-video still struggles
Kai's verdict	A-tier for its niche. Different use case than Suno — SFX and loops, not songs.	B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately.	S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone.	A-tier. Amazing when it works, frustrating when it doesn't. Runway still more reliable for pros.
