New video models, lower prices and watermark change

Hello everyone,

I'm jumping in today to let you all know we just released 2 new models of video generators which are a huge upgrade from the first 2 we had.

With this release we also improved a little bit the workflow of things and reduced again the prices per video. So basically this is the second time you get cheaper video generations but this time we also have better quality with it! As tech allows and gets better we will always try and be as respectful as we can regarding the service prices.

This new models are way more responsive to what you write in the prompts, as long as you are clear and get a nice text in explaining what you want to see in the image.

- We added a loop option, something that has been requested quite a lot!
- You can also generate at 32 fps now and the maximum duration went up to 6s.
- The resolution in the new models go from 960 through 1280 to 1440! (Big improvement in quality).

What we did not achieve this time is audio. It is still a work in progress but since this new models are such an upgrade to the older ones we thought it would be better to just release them without audio and not delay them indefinitely.

We also had someone on the team that wanted to create a video tutorial on youtube for you explaining a bit each video model we have from their perspective and how to use each. I would give it a go, it might be very helpful!

Now about the watermark situation, we been reading your comments and we halfway agree with you. Let me take a moment and come clean with you all. The reasoning that led us to include the watermark in the premium tier was about reach. We are not a huge company and we have limited resources to keep bringing people to our platform, this is also beneficial for everyone using pinku since the more we are the easier it gets to keep the lights on and keep improving the platform, I know you all know this already, its true for a general store and its true for every other type of business. We have referrals and mouth-to-mouth advertising but aside of that our only way to make people know about us are the small watermarks in the corner if some of you share an image or a video. We thought that it would be great if we had some more people uploading or sending some images that were generated on pinku with the watermark on it, in our minds it was a big win situation and not a problem seeking change. We do understand it's annoying if you don't want this and we'll keep discussing it.

I'd also like to clarify that this topic is not something we'll be closing and that's it, we had issues in the past and we made tweaks accordingly but this one came from a necessity, we had no ill will with this change. If we see a better thing to do we might as-well do it, for example the toggle watermark idea is also something we discussed in the past. It would let you toggle the pinku watermark and you could activate or deactivate it when you wanted. Of course this would be for the higher tiers.

With this being said, if you have an idea of how we could have some reach that is not annoying and does not include ads please write us an email!

We'll be reading the comments, as always, just be polite haha
