The AI Video Tools We Use in 2026: Runway, Veo, Sora, Seedance and More
· The Pixtale team
New AI video models arrive almost every month. Clients often ask which one we use. The honest answer: several, because each is good at different things. Here is how a professional AI video workflow fits together.
Ideas and scripts
We use ChatGPT, Claude and Google Gemini to explore concepts, draft scripts, break stories into shots and write detailed prompts. A person always makes the final creative call.
Images and characters
Midjourney and other image models help us design characters, worlds and style frames. For Pixar-style animation, we lock the character look first so it stays consistent in every scene.
Video generation
- Runway for controllable shots, camera moves and quick iteration
- Google Veo and Google Flow for cinematic, realistic scenes
- OpenAI Sora for imaginative storytelling shots
- Seedance and Kling AI for motion and character animation
We test the same shot across models and keep the best take.
Voice and sound
ElevenLabs and similar tools give natural AI voice-overs in many languages. Music and sound design are mixed by hand.
Where the magic really happens
Every AI clip goes into Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects or DaVinci Resolve. Editing, pacing, motion graphics, colour grading and sound are what turn AI shots into a film people remember.
