Pros

Physical realism — fluid dynamics, object permanence, and lighting consistency are best-in-class
ChatGPT integration enables video generation directly from a chat session without switching tools
Storyboard mode can generate a coherent multi-scene narrative from a single paragraph description
20-second clip length beats Runway, Luma, and Kling on single-generation length

Cons

Only available inside ChatGPT Plus ($20/mo) or Pro ($200/mo) — no standalone plan
Plus subscribers get 50 priority generations/month; heavy use exhausts this quickly
Content policy is more restrictive than competitors — certain creative scenarios are refused
No API access — cannot be integrated into automated pipelines
Output cannot be downloaded as separate project files — only MP4 export
