Is your business ready to trust AI with its video content?

AI video tools are evolving fast — but not all of them are ready for prime time. Some promise cinematic magic. Others... produce glitchy fever dreams. So how do you separate the cutting-edge from the cutting-room floor?

In this episode of Leveraging AI, we welcome back AI video creator and educator Tianyu Xu for an expert deep-dive into the Ultimate AI Video Showdown. If you’re a business leader aiming to elevate your video game with AI — this is your go-to resource.

From cat-and-yeti reality shows (yes, really) to real-world production use cases, we break down what tools like Veo 3, Sora, Kling, Minimax, and Runway are doing well, where they fall short, and how to pick the right one for your business goals.

📌 In this session, you'll discover:

• Why AI video is now production-grade — and where it still falls apart
• The 3 core methods of AI video creation: Text-to-Video, Image-to-Video, Video-to-Video
• Which tools win at consistency, sound, and prompt accuracy
• Why Veo 3 leads in realism (but not in price or flexibility)
• How tools like Kling 2.1 can deliver serious results without breaking the bank
• A breakdown of aggregator platforms (like OpenArt) vs. native tools — and when to use each
• How to structure your AI video prompts like a pro for business-grade results
• Real-world advice on creating consistent characters and camera movements using generative tools

Tianyu Xu is a leading voice in the world of AI video creation. With a background in data, research, and structured thinking, he now brings a methodical — yet wildly creative — approach to generative video. His hands-on insights help business leaders cut through the noise and produce high-quality AI content fast.
