Upgrade from Pika to CutScene

Keep the playful AI generation, add professional production tools.

When to Consider Upgrading from Pika

Pika is great for rapid, stylized clips and community trends. But as your projects grow more complex, you might find yourself exporting clips, switching to external editors, and losing track of assets.

CutScene gives you the same creative generation with a professional timeline editor built in. Generate playful clips, then edit, grade, and export without leaving the app. Access additional models like Kling, Veo3, and Hailuo for more variety.

Why switch: More polish options, more AI models, and better organization for complex projects.

What CutScene Adds to Your Workflow

  • Professional timeline: Layer video, audio, and graphics with precision Pika doesn't offer.
  • Multiple AI models: Access Kling, Veo3, SeeDance, Hailuo, and more - not just one generation style.
  • Flexible credits: Pay for generation as needed, edit for free.
  • Asset organization: Use folders and groups to keep projects tidy.

Think of Pika as a sketchpad and CutScene as a full studio - you can still sketch, but now you have the tools to finish the work.
