The short answer
Pick Kaiber if this describes you: If you already have footage or images and want them cut to the beat with no prompting, Kaiber's Beat Sync does that. Its Canvas is a flexible space for mixing image and video models, its credits roll over and do not expire, and its entry plan is $10 a month.
Pick visuals.fm if this does: If you are a label, manager or agency making release content for several artists, visuals.fm gives you a shared workspace, saved style rules, an API and a creative team you can hire for a turnkey video. Its three visual treatments from one photo are a fast way to see directions before committing.
Pick Reelody if the video should tell a story and the singer should sing it: a cast that stays the same in every scene, more than one singer when the song is a duet, and lip-sync that holds when the singer is small in a wide shot. Every plan and the free demo render in 1080p.
