FAQ
How does the AI video blind test work?
Each of the 10 rounds shows two real clips made from the same prompt by two different AI video generators, labelled only A and B. Pick the one you think is better, then we reveal which model made each clip, how we scored it and why.
Are these real, unedited AI videos?
Yes. Every clip is an unedited output from our October 2026 test: the same prompt for every model, default settings, 4 seconds at 720p, one generation each (with one retry only if a generation failed).
What does "agreed with our scores" mean?
We scored every clip from 1 to 10 on adherence, motion, quality and artifacts without knowing which model made it. You agree when you pick the clip with the higher overall score. Taste differs, so disagreeing isn't "wrong".
Which AI video generator scored best overall?
Average October 2026 scores across all our video prompts: Kling 3.0 7.2, Veo 3.1 Fast 7.2, PixVerse V6 7.1, Runway Gen-4.5 6.9. The gaps at the top are small, so watch the clips for the shots you actually make.
