The best AI for travel content

Scenery is the easiest thing AI video does — no faces, no hands, no text — so travel creators get premium-looking output from budget tiers. Seedance's smooth motion reads as drone footage, and at $0.065–0.14/s a destination video's entire B-roll bed costs less than one stock clip license.
The honest boundary: generated footage shows a plausible Santorini, not Santorini. For inspiration-format content ("10 places to visit") that's fine and increasingly standard; for "my trip" content it's misrepresentation your audience will eventually catch. The strong pattern is hybrid — your real phone footage for authenticity, AI establishing shots and transitions for polish.
Whichever pick fits, pressure-test the budget in the calculator with your real clip counts — and remember every rate above multiplies by your retake ratio.
