Vidful AI Hands-On: What Actually Happened When I Used It

Tyler Dec 5, 2025

When I first opened Vidful AI, I honestly expected something similar to Runway or Pika , meaning a single structured model, maybe one or two variations. Instead, the platform feels more like a museum of AI video engines. It offers Veo, Kling, Pixverse, Wan, Haiper, Runway Gen-4, and a bunch of models I hadn’t even heard of (Nano Banana??).

After spending several hours generating 47 test clips across different input types (text → video, photo → video, script → video, image → video), this is my raw, unfiltered experience — exactly as it happened, without trying to make Vidful look better or worse than it is.

First Impressions: The UI Looks Simple, the Experience Isn’t

The interface is clean:

  • left side = prompt/model options
  • center = generation area
  • right = results/history

Nothing confusing visually.
But the moment you click the “Video Models” dropdown, things escalate fast.

There are 16+ models, each with totally different behavior.
No explanations.
No guidance.
No “best used for X.”

I immediately felt like I was choosing a restaurant menu written in five languages.

My First Test: Text-to-Video With Kling AI

Prompt I used:

“An elderly man reading under a street lamp during light rainfall, camera slowly pushing in.”

Actual Output:

The man looked real, but his face changed shape when he blinked.

Rain looked more like floating dust.

The camera motion was smooth though — almost cinematic.

My interpretation:

Kling AI is clearly powerful, but not stable in face structure. It tries too hard to add motion where none is needed.

Result: Impressive but flawed.

Second Test: Veo 3 (Google) — Cinematic, but often ignores details

Prompt:

“A drone flying low over green rice fields with mountains in the background.”

Actual Output:

Beautiful wide landscape

Smooth aerial motion

BUT: The “rice fields” looked more like generic grass

Mountains appeared, disappeared, reappeared

Interpretation:

Veo 3 focuses on motion and mood, not fine detail accuracy.
Good for cinematic shots, not good for storytelling.

Third Test: Pixverse — The Best Anime Motion, Zero Realism

Prompt:

“Anime-style girl jumping between rooftops at night.”

Output:

100% anime-style

Smooth, fluid movement

Background consistent

But the character’s hair kept changing shape

The face turned flat when she landed

Interpretation:

Perfect for anime edits, not usable for anything realistic.

Fourth Test: Photo-to-Video — The Mode That Broke Almost Everything

I uploaded a simple portrait photo (taken from Unsplash) of a man smiling.

Results (across models):

Pixverse: turned him into an animated character → acceptable
  Wan 2.1: mild facial wobble → tolerable
Haiper: nose stretched halfway into his cheek
Kling: eye popped unnaturally during the blink
Veo: replaced the background incorrectly

Interpretation:

Photo-to-video is not reliable on ANY model.
If the photo is stylized → okay.
If the photo is realistic → chaos.

Script-to-Video: Interesting Idea, Broken Execution

Script I used (3 lines):

“A lonely taxi drives through a snowy road.”

“A cabin sits deep in the forest with lights on.”

“A man opens the door and looks relieved.”

Outputs:

Clip 1: Taxi was orange, then yellow on next frame

Clip 2: Cabin looked Scandinavian, not forest cabin

Clip 3: Man opened a door but was wearing weird futuristic armor

Interpretation:

Vidful doesn’t connect scenes.
It simply makes independent clips.
This mode is basically a storyboard helper, not a narrative generator.

Video Effects — Very Hit and Miss

Effects tested: AI Kiss, AI Hug, Anime Spin, Suit Up, Transformer, Ghibli.

What actually happened:

AI Hug: hands fused into one blob

AI Kiss: faces melted together like clay

Anime Spin: worked surprisingly well

Suit Up: created a robotic chestplate out of nowhere

Ghibli: overuses blur + saturation

Interpretation:

These are motion filters, NOT true VFX tools.
Great for TikTok edits, not for serious projects.

Speed Tests Across Models (My Real Timings)

ModelAvg. Gen Time
Pixverse9 sec
Haiper11 sec
Wan 2.112 sec
Runway Gen-416 sec
Veo 314 sec
Kling AI22 sec

Interpretation:

The better the model, the more time it takes.
Kling is always slow but produces the highest realism.

Credit Consumption — Reality Check

I started with 200 credits.

After 47 tests, I had 38 credits left.

Why?
Because…

Kling costs more

Some generations fail → still consume credits

Regenerating for corrections is expensive

Effects also cost credits

This platform is not cheap for experimentation.

The Unexpected Glitches I Saw

Here are some real errors and outputs I didn’t expect:

A) Floating Objects

In one Haiper video, the character’s bag floated next to her like a drone.

B) Missing Limbs

Pixverse once removed an arm because it “interfered with motion.”

C) Sudden Camera Jumps

Runway Gen-4 clips sometimes jump frames abruptly.

D) Clothing Morphing

Kling AI changed a character’s jacket into a vest halfway into the clip.

E) Background Mutation

Veo replaced a snowy forest with a sunny meadow mid-shot.

What Vidful AI Actually Does Well

  • One dashboard to test multiple video engines
  • Extremely good for experimentation
  • Pixverse + Haiper = best anime/creative motion
  • Kling = best realism
  • Veo = best cinematic movement
  • Smooth interface, no UI bugs

What Vidful AI Doesn’t Do Well

  • Continuity between scenes
  • Consistent faces
  • Natural hand movement
  • Photo-to-video realism
  • Stable long shots
  • Accuracy in multi-element prompts
  • Predictability — same prompt → different results

Vidful feels like a testing lab, not a polished creator.

Final Verdict: My Conclusion After Usage

Vidful AI is not a streamlined video editor.
It is a multi-model experimentation hub, and that’s exactly how you should treat it.

If you enjoy:

  • testing styles
  • comparing engines
  • generating experimental clips
  • making stylized shorts
  • doing quick anime edits
  • playing with motion variations

→ Vidful AI is useful.

If you want:

  • consistent story videos
  • stable faces
  • long scenes
  • predictable accuracy
  • professional video output

→ You’ll be disappointed.

Vidful AI is best for creative experimentation, worst for professional continuity.

It’s not a “one-click cinematic tool.”
It’s a sandbox, and whether that’s good or bad depends on what you expect.
