My First Experience with Pollo AI | Honest Impressions Focusing on Video Generation

Hello, this is Meinoha✨️
This time, I was commissioned by Pollo AI to
try out their service for the first time!

The generative AI service that I've been seeing everywhere lately, "Pollo AI".
Actually, I've been curious about it for a while.

Here is my first experience with Pollo AI, from someone who uses AI on a daily basis!

You're curious about my impressions from that perspective, right?

In this article today, I will
honestly write about both the good points and the parts that were a bit concerning.

Please be sure to read it!

🟥What is Pollo AI? Starting with the big picture

Pollo AI is an all-in-one service from Singapore that
focuses on AI video generation.

Whether it's creating videos from text,
adding motion based on images,
or using templates for short videos,
it aims to complete the entire video creation process on a single screen.

It is an AI generation service designed tominimize effort and get things into shape✨️

Unlike specialized video editing software, it is characterized by
a very short distance to "making your first video"😊

◆

The first thing I thought was "nice" after logging in was that it
officially supports Japanese. It's reassuring when a service supports multiple languages.

And, themain screen lets you jump straight to what you want to do!

I'm hoping to use it for video generation, and "
AI Video" is displayed in large text, so there's no confusion. It's also nice that you can start creating right from the top screen! The website being lightweight is also good😊

There are other services I'm curious about, such as "AI MV" and "AI Short Video".
I'd like to try these out one by one as well.

I'm also curious about the "
Lip Sync" feature in the AI tool suite, which allows you to match speech with lip movements!

The sheer number of services and tools that make you want to look around is
something unique to an all-in-one service.
It sparked my creative drive and got me excited🥰

🟦 Features of Pollo AI | Why It Excels at Video Generation

I have summarized the features of Pollo AI.
I will focus specifically on video generation, which is my primary goal.

🔹 Use Multiple Video Generation Models in One Place

With Pollo AI, you can switch between multiple AI video generation models while
maintaining the same user experience.

When creating videos,
I usually have to jump between various platforms depending on my goal,
and that is honestly quite a hassle.
So, just being able to use them all in one place is a huge benefit.

The image shows just a portion of the implemented models.
You can use the latest popular models, starting with Pollo's own latest video generation model, "Pollo 2.5", as well as
Sora2, Wan2.6, and Veo 3.1.

Of course, it also supports image generation.
You can use many models here too, such as the popular Nano Banana Pro, Midjourney, and Flux.

Older versions are also available,
so power users can stick with their favorite versions!

If you want to reuse an image and prompt to regenerate with a different model,
just click "Re-prompt" below the generation result.

Being able to try changing only the model while keeping the image and prompt the same is
something I found truly convenient!

The following videos were regenerated by changing only the model while keeping the settings the same.

With an all-in-one service, there is no need to relearn operations for each tool.

For someone like me who creates videos through trial and error,
not having to go back and forth is a huge help! 😊

🔹 Designed with short videos in mind

Pollo AI is apparently built with a strong focus on
creating short videos with a good tempo rather than long-form video works.

It certainly gives the impression that it's easy to create vertical videos for social media or
short clips lasting from a few seconds to over ten seconds.

Generating a 5-second clip is great for social media posts, and even when you need longer videos for things like YouTube Shorts,

the ability to generate 12-second videos at a low cost with Pollo 2.5 comes in handy.

🎥 12-second video generation with Pollo 2.5

It has enough length and quality to serve as material for YouTube Shorts!

The audio in this video is in English, but that's not a problem for my use case since I replace the dialogue with separate audio files.
It seems that depending on the prompt, you can get it to speak short Japanese phrases as well👌

🔹 User-friendly even if you're not good at editing

Detailed editing features are kept to a minimum, but
because of that, the design is easy to navigate without getting lost.
The tutorial videos that you can watch immediately are also a welcome feature🎥

The fact that it's hard to get stuck wondering 'what should I click next?'
felt like a reassuring factor for beginners.

However, just be aware that it isn't capable of full-scale professional editing work.
The benefit of video production with Pollo AI is that
you can easily create short videos that go viral✨️

🟨 Impressions after actually using it | Usability review

🔹 The controls are intuitive, making the first step easy

I was able to understand the flow up to video generation relatively quickly.

I didn't feel overwhelmed by technical jargon, and
the controls feel like something you can learn while experimenting.

I didn't have any trouble when I generated a video with Pollo AI for the first time either👍️

🔹 The flow to generation is simple

Video generation is set up so you can start right from the top screen.

With just this, you can create a video!

The "prompt" can be simple.
In extreme cases, even something like "taking a walk" is enough,
and the AI will read the atmosphere from the image to create a video.

Once you get used to it, you can try other models or write more detailed prompts.
Getting used to it this way is more than enough😊

🔹 Generation speed is practical

Generation time varies depending on the content, but
the speed felt stress-free when testing several short videos.was.

For example, when generating with the flagship model, Pollo 2.5:

• 4-second video generation takes 50 to 56 seconds

• 12-second video generation takes 3 minutes 20 seconds to 3 minutes 40 seconds

There are two types of source material for video generation: text and images,
but there was no difference between them.

I think it varies depending on the model and the time of day, but
I was never kept waiting for a long time.👍️

🟩 Impressions on video quality

🔹 Regarding the naturalness of movement

Recent video generation is truly amazing,
and my impression is that it is easy to generate videos with little awkwardness for simple scenes.impression.

I also tried some unreasonable prompts using Pollo 2.5.

🎥 Unreasonable video generation by Pollo 2.5

It looks like a scene from a comical movie using special effects (lol).
It's surprising that there are no obvious failures even when pushing it this far!

🔹 Regarding character consistency

I think it's easy to maintain consistency for short videos..
I get the impression that even for longer videos, it should be fine as long as they aren't too complex.

I used Pollo 2.5 to generate a character that is typically difficult to maintain consistency with.

This character has a complex design, including hair color and accessories.
In particular, with heterochromia, the eye colors sometimes end up being the same.

I will try generating a video by providing the following prompt and character image.

🎥 Consistent video generation with Pollo 2.5

The consistency is maintained!
It was a one-shot generation, and I was actually quite impressed by this😊

When generating videos using image assets,
basicallythe longer the video, the easier it is for consistency to break down.

This is not a problem with Pollo AI, but
a characteristic of video generation models, so it's unavoidable.

Depending on the model you use, it may be easier to maintain consistency, but
the downside is that it becomes more expensive.

🔷 About Pricing and Commercial Use

You can try Pollo AI for free.
By logging in every day, you are provided with generation credits.

However, while it's enough for image generation, it's honestly not enough if you want to try video generation.

But there is a workaround.

Pollo AI often runscredit giveaway campaigns on social media.
The amount given away varies from around 100 to 200 depending on the time,
and since generating a 4-second video with Pollo 2.5 starts at 10 credits per generation, it's quite helpful if you want to try it for free👍️

For example, campaigns are rolled out like this.
Be sure to check them out!

If you plan to use it seriously, a paid plan is a prerequisite.

With a paid plan,
you can remove the watermark that is always included in the free version.
(*Watermark: The company logo inserted into the video.)

If you are considering commercial use, a paid plan is essential.

Lite/Pro plans are available, with monthly/annual billing options. The differences between plans include the amount of credits provided and generation limits.

If your goal is to remove the watermark, the Lite plan is sufficient.

I think it's fine to start there and upgrade to Pro if you feel like you need more✨️

🔶Who is Pollo AI for?

🔹Recommended for

• People who want to try AI video generation

• People who want to easily create short videos

• People who want to minimize editing work as much as possible

The ability to use many models on a single platform is great!

🔹Might not be for

• People who want to meticulously craft long-form videos

• Use cases requiring complete control

It seems you will need to use external tools when you want to edit in detail.

🌸Summary | Honest impressions after using it for the first time

Pollo AI feels like a service that
lowers the barrier to entry for video generation.

• "Just try making something"

• "Give it a try"

As an entry point, it is very friendly and easy to use✨️

I want to use it more from now on to see if it helps with short video production. To put it another way, I want to focus on whether it can make things easier!
