Pros and Cons
Strengths
Accurate understanding of Chinese prompts; generated images can include clear Chinese characters
Fast generation speed; the free version outputs at roughly 3.2 times the industry average
Comprehensive feature coverage—from image to video, from generation to editing—all in one platform
Deep integration with the Jianying ecosystem, ideal for short video creators
Daily free credits allow you to experience core features without spending money
Weaknesses
The free version exports with a watermark, and resolution and generation speed are limited; removing the watermark requires upgrading to a membership
Performance in complex motion and scenarios requiring high physical simulation (such as fine interactions involving liquids or flames) lags behind some competitors
When motion range is too large, the frame is prone to breaking down or dropping frames
The credit-based system poses obvious limitations for high-frequency creators; long-term high-quality use requires ongoing payment
The international version has reduced functionality, with dynamic features such as video generation not fully available

FAQ
Does the free version include a watermark? By default, yes. Premium members or certain creator accounts can disable the watermark in export settings.
What is the difference between the international version and the domestic version? The international version currently mainly opens up image generation and canvas editing, with no credits consumed; the domestic version supports the full feature set, including video generation and motion mimicry, and consumes credits based on generation type.
What is the maximum duration of generated videos? The basic version generally offers 3 to 6 seconds; the paid version can extend to 10 seconds or more, with some models supporting 15 or 30 seconds.
Is commercial use allowed? The Pro/Business version supports watermark-free export and commercial licensing; the free version is limited to personal use only.
How do I remove unwanted elements from a generated image? Use the "移除物件" (Remove Object) feature in the Intelligent Canvas—select the area with the brush and the AI will automatically repair the background.
