Uncutly production guide

Choose the Right AI Image or Video Workflow

Start with the asset you have and the result you need. The reviewed contact sheets below separate image, text-to-video, and image-to-video routes so a production decision begins with evidence rather than a model name.

Reviewed workflow cards

Each card pairs an intended result with the limit to test first.

Choose by production task

Start from the input and deliverable, then inspect the matching supply.

Model selection is an evidence problem

Keep the brief fixed while the candidate changes.

Quality

Judge a generative-media workflow against the visual brief, not a polished sample made for another purpose.

Speed

Measure the full iteration loop for a generative-media workflow, including review and correction rather than generation alone.

Cost

Compare the cost of usable outcomes for a generative-media workflow; failed and discarded attempts belong in the calculation.

Consistency

Repeat a controlled brief to see whether a generative-media workflow preserves the details that matter across attempts.

Access

Confirm that the required input mode and destination for a generative-media workflow are available in the workflow you intend to use.

01

Brief to still image

Define composition, subject, visual treatment, and exclusions; run the same brief through a small model shortlist before changing the prompt.

02

Approved still to motion

Lock the source frame first, then specify one camera action and one subject action so motion failures remain diagnosable.

03

Template to controlled variation

Keep the template structure fixed while changing one input at a time, recording which change produced the useful difference.

Compare the same brief, not the demo reel

Separate model inventory from the method used to evaluate it.

Frequently asked questions

Orient the first decision before opening a production workspace.

What should I choose first: a model or a workflow?

Choose the input and required outcome first. A model becomes useful only when it supports that route and its failure modes are acceptable.

Are these live rankings?

No. The site presents a dated editorial review of public SFW supply and explains how to test it against a specific brief.
