Compare video workflows
Compare how AI video tools handle your work, from the first image to the final edit.
When comparing video tools, try a small piece of the film you actually want to make. A polished demo won't tell you how many attempts you'll need, how easily you can reuse a character, or how long the edit will take.
What Sundream covers
Sundream keeps the script, board, elements, media, and editor in one project. You can choose models for generation, reuse project references, and export both the finished timeline and source files.
Use the workflow guides to try that process. If you already have footage, import it and work with it in the editor.

Run a useful comparison
Use the same brief, reference images, aspect ratio, and target duration in each tool. Make a short sequence with a recurring character and at least one transition between scenes.
Record:
- Usable results: how many attempts it takes to get each image and clip you'd keep.
- Total cost: credits spent on all attempts, plus any upscaling or audio.
- Time: setup, generation waits, finding files, revisions, and editing.
- Continuity: whether the character, setting, and movement work across cuts.
- Handoff: which source files, audio, and project data you can download.
Compare the cost of the sequence you kept, including rejected attempts. A low price per generation can still produce an expensive finished scene.
Check the plan before committing
Confirm that the plan includes the models, resolutions, storage, and number of simultaneous jobs you need. Check whether quoted prices depend on annual billing or a temporary promotion.
