## Key limitations

AI video still has limits in precise control, clip duration, product and character consistency, text rendering, brand safety and licensing. Always verify commercial rights, paid-ad permissions, image rights, trademark use, music and voice licenses, and what happens to uploaded references.

## Recommendation by company type

**Ecommerce:** Kling + Runway; add ComfyUI for large catalogs.**SaaS:** Runway + Pika + avatar tools for explainers and onboarding.**Training:** HeyGen/Synthesia + Runway for supporting visuals.**Agency:** mixed stack with Runway, Kling, Pika, Luma, ComfyUI and postproduction.**Retail:** Kling + Adobe Firefly + Runway for seasonal and local campaigns.
