I've evaluated a lot of these over the years. What stands out here is shareable video outputs — handled better than most — and low barrier to entry for non-video creators. May require multiple attempts to get desired result is my one real gripe. Worth the time if this is your use case.

Compared a few options

Evaluated this against two competitors. Where it wins: shareable video outputs and low barrier to entry for non-video creators. Where it lags: output quality varies by prompt complexity. On balance the feature set — especially quick rendering of short clips — justifies the 5 stars for our use case.
