Emerging Multi-Modal AI Video Creation Platforms
The rise of multi-modal AI platforms has revolutionized content creation, allowing users to research, write, and generate images in one app. Now, a new wave of platforms is extending these capabilities to video creation and editing.
Multi-modal video platforms combine various AI tools for tasks like writing, transcription, text-to-voice conversion, image-to-video generation, and lip-syncing. These platforms leverage open-source models like FLUX and LivePortrait, along with APIs from services such as ElevenLabs, Luma AI, and Gen-3.
Key Platforms
Krea AI
Krea recently added four AI video models (Gen-3, Luma, Kling, and Hailuo) to complement its FLUX Style Gallery and real-time image generator.
Kaiber
Kaiber's Superstudio offers multiple canvases for seamless image and video generation. Users can create images with FLUX, generate videos using Kaiber's model or Luma, and perform video-to-video style transfer.
Hunch
Hunch enables users to build AI 'Blocks' for individual tasks, which can be combined to perform complex operations, including image and video generation.
Each AI
Each is an open-source framework for building complex AI workflows or using preset templates to generate images, logos, or videos.
Developer Platforms
Developer-focused platforms like Fal, Replicate, Hugging Face, and Mystic offer a wide range of models for generating text, voice, images, character animations, and videos.
Fal recently added Gen-3, Luma, Kling, and Hailuo video models to its offerings.
Why should you care?
These multi-modal platforms allow users to access various AI tools and models in one place, eliminating the need to switch between multiple apps or maintain separate subscriptions for each service.

🖼️ Image Prompts
My friend, Ludovic Carli, shared a technique called Polaroid Lift Emulsion on 𝕏. It produces a beautiful effect, as you’ll see in these images below.
Note: Ludovic shares amazing prompts and workflows every day, and he actually uses far more cutting-edge generative AI tools than I do! Check him out on 𝕏 or LinkedIn.
Prompt: A still life of a typewriter with handwritten notes, laying beside it portrayed through a Polaroid emulsion lift on aged canvas, with visible brush strokes and faded sepia lighting.
Prompt: A horse galloping on the beach, as if captured on a manipulated instant film Polaroid, with peeling emulsion and a surreal sense of motion.
Prompt: Portrait of an elderly woman with a warm smile, captured in a Polaroid emulsion lift style, highlighting handcrafted textures and muted pastel tones.
🎬Video Prompt
This prompt is long, but it worked well on Hailuo AI:
Prompt: First person POV, dutch angle shot, watching an amazing female DJ on stage with shoulder length wavy hair in a razor-cut bob style is wearing a purple zipup hoodie sweatshirt, and high-waisted dark wash denim jeans. The woman is a DJ and standing at her turntables, with an intense look on her face and bobbing her head and moving hands from side to side on the turntable and mixer as she switches beats and smiles when she likes the result, with the beat as she mixes and scratches for an incredible hip hop fused with EDM style. Background is a rave festival stage background
