What was measured

Sound Design

How well the tool adds usable audio or sound effects that match and enhance the video.

context, not decisivetransformation

Audio can improve the finished clip, but a tool can still succeed at single-image cinematic video generation even with weak or absent sound. (3 of 3 judges)

What was given, what came back

Test input: Realistic wildlife photo with cinematic push-in and roar prompt · image · group: image-to-cinematic-video

Input — what we sent

A realistic wildlife photograph of a tiger scene tested with a cinematic push-in prompt that requires natural animal motion, environmental movement, and an audio moment ending in a roar.

Why this input is hard

· Photorealistic image-to-video conversion
· Natural animal motion and posture changes
· Preserving realism and avoiding stylization or distortion
· Cinematic environment motion and lighting changes
· Audio integration, especially roar timing and cutoff behavior

Output — unretouched
