What was measured

Code Generation Quality

Syntactically correct, runnable on first attempt.

decisive for this rankingtransformation

If the generated code is not syntactically correct and runnable, the tool has failed at producing the animation at all. (3 of 3 judges)

What was given, what came back

Test input: Search engines basics explainer · text

Input — what we sent

The exact prompt

Create an animation video explaining how search engines work.

A vague, linear educational animation prompt asking the tool to explain how search engines work with minimal guidance. Designed to stress inference, scene structuring, pacing, and coherent visual flow from an underspecified request.

Output — unretouched

Also checked on this input — same tool, 4 other criteria

Input Handling✓ WorkedAccepted a fully specified HTML/CSS/JavaScript animation prompt immediately, but still misread part of the request as interactive webpage behavior rather than animation-first motion graphics.Output Quality⚠ StruggledThe output read more like an interactive webpage than an animation video: it included interactive elements despite the no-interaction requirement, had cramped spacing and overlapping layout issues, and lacked clear visual hierarchy.Output Quality✗ FailedProduces output that reads more like an interactive webpage than a video-like animation, with cramped spacing, overlapping elements, weak visual hierarchy, and visible controls.Output Quality✗ FailedProduces a cluttered, webpage-like result with overlapping elements, cramped spacing, and no clear motion-graphics hierarchy.
