“AI-powered camera control and one-click video creation for creators, brands, agencies and marketing teams” — the vendor’s own words

30+ video and image models behind one MCP connector is genuinely useful plumbing, wrapped in a company Forbes caught passing off stock footage as AI output and distributing non-consensual celebrity deepfakes -- the tech works, the trust doesn't.

The verdict, read by Jan · AI clone of Jan’s voice, generated locally with his consent.

Best for: Teams that want the broadest model selection for social/ad video production and can tolerate a volatile, controversy-prone vendor -- budget for account disruption, not just credits.

Strengths

30+ image and video models (Sora 2, Veo 3.1, Kling 3.0, Seedance 2.0, plus in-house Soul and Cinema Studio) sit behind one MCP connector with no API keys to manage. Soul Character training keeps a cast consistent across a multi-shot campaign, Marketing Studio presets turn a product photo into a finished short-form ad, and the MCP/CLI/Skills packaging is a genuinely complete open-protocol implementation.

Honest dings

The company's own conduct is the bigger risk than the technology. Forbes documented stock footage passed off as AI-generated in influencer kits, non-consensual deepfakes of Sydney Sweeney, Zendaya and Donald Trump, and racist content using Disney characters -- with a co-founder telling Forbes the company "explicitly" courts controversial content for engagement. Add a December 2025 mass ban of paying users with no explanation (the "Christmas Purge"), a suspended X account since February 2026, and repeated marketing of "unlimited" model access that turned out to be throttled -- pricing and trust both carry real risk here.

Prices and details change — this passport is re-verified at least quarterly.
