    Wizstar launches its own reference-to-video model

    Wizstar says it trained Wizshot 1.0 in-house for reference-to-video generation. It accepts up to nine reference images and produces 5–15 second 720p landscape or portrait clips with native audio. Its comparisons with competing models are company claims, not independent tests.
