The FASTEST AI Video Yet & (Free) AI After Effects?!

It’s another wild day in AI video updates—this time with a brand-new super fast model, the comeback of a legendary AI video tool, and a sneak peek at next-gen 3D conditioned video.

In this video, I test out Decart's Lucy 14B (a hyper-optimized, lightning-fast video model), explore the return of Ebsynth (a free AI-powered video editor with After Effects-style controls), and preview Kinetics—a 3D spatial AI video generator that could change how we create.

We’ll talk speed, cost, quality, and practical workflows (including post-processing fixes with Topaz). Plus, I’ll show real tests: camera rotations, object permanence, stylistic consistency, and animation use cases.

If you’re into AI filmmaking, creative workflows, or video generation tools, this one’s packed with insights.
