## 1 Introduction  
The rapid evolution of AI technology has ushered in a transformative era in video production, with AI video generation tools (AIVGTs) playing a pivotal role. These tools not only unlock boundless possibilities for content creation but also enhance production efficiency, sparking a wave of creative innovation [1]. As the digital landscape becomes increasingly dominated by video content, the demand for such tools has soared [2]. By 2024, SocialPilot predicts that video traffic will account for 82 percent of global Internet traffic. Furthermore, viewers claim that they can remember 95 percent of the information provided in a video, which highlights the significant potential for the consumption of video media [3]. Furthermore, industry analyses indicate a thriving market, with the global entertainment and media industry poised to generate substantial revenues in the coming years [4]. The expansion of the market for AIVGTs mirrors this trend, with projections indicating a substantial increase in the sector's growth [5]. Developers are engaged in a race to provide cutting-edge solutions that not only meet basic content generation needs but also enhance the user experience through integration with other creative tools [6]. This competitive landscape encourages diversification and innovation, offering users a plethora of options to streamline their workflows and unleash their creative potential. In this context, developers of AI video generation software are striving not only to provide basic content generation functions but also to enhance the user experience and expand feature modules to meet diverse user needs in the face of intensifying competition among AI video generation software. For example, some platforms are increasingly integrating with other creative tools in order to offer more comprehensive creative solutions. The competition is poised to drive the industry towards greater diversification and innovation, thereby providing users with enhanced experiences and broader creative opportunities. The leading AI video generation software on the market today, such as Pictory, Synthesis, HeyGen, Deepbrain AI, Lumen5, Raw Shorts, VEED, Elaiio, Runway, and Pika, among others [7; 8], is at the vanguard of this transformative wave. The objective is to enhance and streamline the video content creation process, thereby reducing costs, increasing efficiency, and expanding the boundaries of innovation. The advent of AI video generation technology has enabled creators to produce a vast array of video content in a relatively short period of time. An increasing number of video producers are incorporating this technology into their workflow. To illustrate, in 2022, [PERSON]'s science fiction film trailer, entitled \"_Trailer_: _Genesis_\", rapidly gained popularity on social media, with a duration of less than a minute [9]. At the Runway AI Film Festival, films such as \"_PLSTC_\" and \"_Given Again_\" demonstrated the pivotal role of AI in the creation of video content. Similarly, on short video platforms, AI-generated digital human narrators have also achieved impressive viewership. Additionally, ongoing academic discussions regarding AI-generated video tools continue to evolve, questioning whether AI systems can genuinely comprehend and create narratives with depth and complexity or if they merely mimic existing story structures and themes [10]. How do audiences and content creators perceive AI-generated video works [11]? Do they deem them valuable, and how do they compare to human-created content? What technical challenges are currently faced in the production of movie trailers and other video content using AI tools [12; 13], and how can these challenges be overcome [14]? Consequently, it is of paramount importance to assess AIVGTs from the perspective of video production practitioners. Through a comprehensive analysis of industry professionals' attitudes, perceptions, and behaviors towards AI video generation tools, it has been revealed that their acceptance is influenced by a multitude of factors.
